Jedi still viable with the rebel pass?

Biggest success I had w/ Jedi...took 1st on a launch shard at payout daily...

zQGJ (L), Ezra, GK, zzR2, Aayla.

Ani exposes himself too much and counters against his aoe bring a swift death.

Yoda just doesn't have enuf damage.

Plo's dispel is cool but Ezra and QGJ dispel. I like his tm manipulation...but again, not enuf damage.

Once you have no more assists Jedi damage output is quite terrible.

Individually and without QGJ lead almost every single Jedi is just weak and quite outdated, except from Ezra who has been designed as a lead dps since he's also the only one who deals enough damage in a Phoenix team. Most Jedi have the worst basics ever, they don't have much critical either and are not much oriented toward damage globally.

Once you don't have assists anymore they really lack of burst, and except from Ezra everything is random so...Waiting for a QGJ triple assist or even for Aayla secura to finally get an assist is quite frustrating.

Speed is nice indeed but you can't beat Siths under zMaul combined with a Sith assassin anyway. With Equal gear they'll always play first - 20% more TM feeds them way more than +30 speed.
Good luck hitting Sidious with Jedi under a Maul lead too. ^ ^

@Lightwalker without R2 Jedi struggle a little and that's why your not getting ranked higher. Also Anakin with all the counter Rebels and Rex TM = shooting yourself in the foot.

What do you mean with the anakin and Rex comment? I use Anakin under Rex and it is pretty effective. JKA could use another small rework or simply some synergy with GK, but his unique is priceless for me in arena.

Got confused by that as you @ me asking about @Big_Boss answer.

Big boss my main problem with r2 is getting the zetas to actually Zeta him - my drop rate for them is currently 23 in 6 months, it is so shocking I had to resort to buying them from ship store! But yeah I agree he is needed in a Jedi team!

Am using anakin for the ability block on Gks and Baze which allows me to kill other members of the team.

Anakin for ability block you say?

Think he means buff immunity to be fair.

I did mean buff imunuity - thanks for the correction

I'm running jedi now. Finish 1st and people tend to avoid me if possible. Was running zQGJ, zzR2, Ezra, JKA, GK. Just subbed in CLS for JKA for fun, like the diversity of it a little better. Can't tell if it's better, wins are just as easy.

Regarding Ani and expose, yes it is a pain but if you are smart about it, you can avoid getting into trouble. I try to use it while in stealth or when I can afford to be reckless given the situation. Basically, if I am going to kill a dude or two, I'll take the expose gladly.

Plus I try and keep his cc as high as I can. It works

Offense is easy. U being smart is immaterial. The AI will not play like u and will aoe if it's available.

Building teams (imo) is now about 2 things and 2 things only:

Speed (of course) which makes u faster than your opponent and let's u set turn order.

Knowing how the AI will conduct itself on defense and building your team accordingly.

Humm. This is a very good point concerning Ani.
That said, I just unlocked my GK and obviously he will be there even at 5*.
So, for a full jedi team (only jedi), would you @Poxx rather go with:

1) zQGJ (L), zYoda, GK, Aayala, Ezra

OR

2) zQGJ (L), zYoda, GK, Ani, Ezra

Also, zBarriss is getting out for GK to get in, but should I consider running them together?

Lastly: since your username is Poxx, have you ever played PoxNora? If so, who are you there?

I would take Aayla over Ani considering the current state of Arena.

Crit immunity from GK works against Bariss. Strip the taunt and kill your target bcuz they can't b crit.

I have never played PoxNora. I took it from MTG. I only played black, sometimes splashed w/ blue and Pox was my favorite card.
