You seem to be missing the point of what I'm advisi ng as the first mod set to farm.
My advice was that going for speed mods was a great way to start.
Firat of all, when you start with speed as your first mod set, this is more important than damage in my view. First of all, you have essential characters like r2 and thrawn that absolutely need the extra boost in speed.
Secondly, your leftover mods can be put on high damage characters and they will work well.
Thirdly, because of the speed set bonus, you dont necessarily need double digit speed on each mod and a speed arrow (or course), and there for its easier and takes less time. Trying to match the speed i have with a speed set absolutely takes longer to farm for crit damage mods.
I am not gicing theoretical advice here. If new players start with crit damage mods, as many did in my shard, they didnt have speed sets unlocked, and they ended up with an r2 who couldnt cloam their team before my dps killed on of them. If they start off with speed mods, they get to go first and speed mods are easier to farm.
You are also assuming that the OP has all the mod sets unlocked, which is not the case, and you have missed the point.
As for gk bariss, that is a very unique team that is irrelevant to the OP question.
