CG:
We want to nerf/limit defense penetration because it doesn’t scale well with relics

Also CG:
Second Sister’s kit can achieve a lot of Defense Penetration via her Can't Run Forever Special ability and Everyone is Expendable Unique ability.

Question on the Omicron - does that mean GLs can’t be blocked from regaining Health/Prot from other Jedi Uniques, or GL Jedi Uniques can still let other Jedi regain Health/Prot, or both?

Where is the helicopter ability?

The 8th Brother was the only one of the inquisitors to use his lightsaber as a helicopter. I can assume that if they add him it will be one of his specials

Go to 5:42

Just like for many Zetas such as QGJ, before they added his Omicron

Not really. QGJ zeta was great at its time but it was made obsolete as the game itself progressed, not as individual players progress. This has built-in planned obsolescence from the very beginning. And omicrons are much harder to come by than zetas.

True, QGJ was a must-have for everyone at that time. I think a Omicron that will lose its relevance while a player progresses ist ok, as there are always choices how to develop your rosters and which teams will be most important.
For example Phoenix squad, important at the early game, abandoned later.

CG: We're removing the ability to ignore defense from several characters … these units pose a significant balance concern … it's diminishing our ability to use defense in the future as an interesting and valuable stat and restricts our design space

Also CG: This ability has +150% Defense Penetration. … Whenever an enemy or Empire ally is defeated, Second Sister gains bonuses … 2nd Empire ally or enemy: +100% Defense Penetration

There is a new PVE enemy jedi with a blue double-bladed lightsaber, intriguing...

A reskin from Cal or another inquisitor would be my guesses.

Thought you guys were doing away with defence pen? Wasn't that the whole point of the great nerf?

My guess ist, that with defense pen you can have counter-ability that modify that value. Like "enemy lose 100% defense penetration". If they ignore defense completely, this would not be possible

It wasn't the point but the excuse given to us. The point was making GLs untouchable.

But, some of these new toons being released can beat GLs?

Seems like a excuse to cuase an issue and sell the fix
