Is GK OP?

I didn't think any toon is OP at the moment, I think the balance is just out because we have 60-70 toons that aren't arena viable right now

Having just lost to this... a big part of the Rex-GK-R2-DN dominance is that DN dispels on a AOE counter prior to R2's stun; ditto with GK's "everybody attacks".

It's just superbly powerful. Maybe even overpowered.

He's basicly just what a tank should be, no more no less.

The issue of these discussions is not actually the balance, but the versatility of the characters. I get the feeling the Chaze was intended for a full rogue one squad with their kits in mind. GK was intended to help Jedi, and DN was intended for a full sith team with him as the leader.

However, because the developer does nothing to limit their abilities to the factions they are intended for, you get this Tank/Support and no DPS meta which is super lame to fight against and honestly, pretty stale.

GK is balanced in any squad but can b considered OP when run w/ Jedi.

Add 30 Speed and nearly 400 offense from zQGJ lead, plus foresight and offense up, much of the time, the squad is all buffed so his damage on basic doubles. Add in R2 and u have a GK w/ 100k+ health/prot that's moving at 260+ after mods and that crits for 15k on basic.

Ah yes. Every tank should have a cleanse that not only cleanses but gives the opposite buff, give every toon retribution, give allies crit immunity of crit, have literally the best team assist call in the game, get foresight non stop, have a pretty good leader ability and taunt non stop. You know, just the standard tank kit.

As someone who doesn't even have him yet, but constantly face him in top arena ranks i can without a doubt say that DN, Thrawn and Chaze are a lot more annoying then Kenobi.
That being said he is not the hardest farm. Atleast these days you can get in to guilds that have HAAT on farm easily if you contribute 600 raid tickets. I would say other auto taunting tanks like Baze and shore are a lot more annoying to farm unless you have vast amounts of crystals to spare.

You literally named the 4 next most used and OP toons in top tier arena, that's like saying "this $1000 pizza isn't expensive, that place across the corner sells them for $1100"

Ecactly; you are forced to take him out. That's a tanks purpose in a team.

A tanks role is to prevent you from taking out the people you're forced to take out. that's literally the purpose and likely definition of a tank in any game that has tanks as character classes instead of vehicles. Literally only an undispellable taunt would meet the "forced to take him out" idea you've got going on. And frankly he's the only tank who is this much of a priority to take out.
