Magmatrooper post update

Hi all,

I will 7* the Magmatrooper tomorrow, basically I did that because I didnt know who else to farm as I already have nearly everyone from GW Tokens. I couldnt find much post-update in the forum about him via search function so I thought I will just ask directly:

Is the Magmatrooper useful post-patch?

On paper he sounds ok, TM manipulation, AOE, lots of tenacity and maybe because of protection he can actually take a turn.

Does anyone have used him in the Top 10 range?

Does he work in a non-empire group?

How much dmg does his Thermal Imploder ability do? The link does not state that

    Biggs isn´t a great toon... i´m 45/100 on him with full gear 8 lvl 72 and he crits for 3000 + assist using special :S and his base attack does really low damage too...

    Sadly there are almost noone to farm from GW by the moment, once i finish Biggs i will go for magma like u xD or maybe Teebo because having Old Ben, Phasma and ST Han to manipulate turn meter i can´t see any place to put this magma trooper

    hehe yeah, the only toons missing from GW tokens for me are teTeebo, Tusken Raider, Biggs and the Nightsister Initiate.
    Actually I am hoping for a full Stormtrooper Squad. STCommander, Dark Trooper, Jetpack Trooper, Grenadier Trooper etc.

    Magma is in my team and I am #1 everyday at payout, seldom out of top 10 overnight. His 15k protection is tough to break and he never misses with TM reduction. Damage is low but he does crit on QGJ assist often double hitting which is great with all the foresight teams. I use RG too so he gets health bonus.

    I'm pondering switching for 5's though as he is almost Gear 9 and tho damage may be same I think the assist and counter may be more useful when the omega skill kicks in for his basic.

    Oh, sounds interesting. May I ask what your whole team looks like?

    QGJ Lead, RG, Magma, Yoda, Rey. All gear 9 except for Rey, didn't get the furnace pre-made for her. I always take out the main dps first then burn RG down before working along threats and usually have only lost 1 max tho most times I still have protection left. Most on my shard are Dooku Leads and while that used to cause headaches, the new protection makes them super easy.
