IG-100 Magnaguard tips and tricks, with video
I've been quite vocal about how valuable a droid team member 100 is, so I'm putting this up for later reference if I need it. The first important point to note is that he's not the best at anything...

@MD_Geist You're right that most players avoid him but he gets stronger the longer they do that. And yes... those 100 stun cuffs take an age for his gear IX. Oddly, gear X came a lot quicker for me but that might have been because all that useless salvage I'd scored in Raids suddenly became useful.
For Omega, I actually went basic, counter, AoE. Basic and Counter work well together and the real bonus from his AoE is that it gives him a second shot. His counter isn't especially reliable but is a really effective way to boost his speed, therefore you want it maxed to increase its frequency. As you've also alluded to, he gets most of his fighting done in the end game and with less toons on the field, his AoE is obviously less effective.
