Old Ben or continue GS farming

I would continue with GS.

Just unlocked cantina node for old Ben, GS is at 4 stars already, should I continue farming GS up to 7 or start old Ben ?

I am non-conventional. I do NOT have Dooku, Daka, Sid, Phasma, GS, or any of those other meta.

I do have Obi (Old Ben).

I am ranked 38 in Arena as Obi (L), QGJ, NS Initiate, Yoda and 5555's (who is only 5*) all else 7*.

Obi is like 3rd highest for Arena players, Lumi is like second and Dooku is first.. but I have done pretty well without the usual squads.

So should I unlock Ben or go straight to 7 with Ben them finish GS? My GS hits hard and I don't know if neglecting him will be a bad thing for my arena team as I progress

I would farm Old Ben from cantina, ST Han from arena, Qui-Gon from cantina shipments, and Rey from guild shipments. Those 4 make for a very meta arena team. You could eventually replace Han with RG, but you can't really farm him until level 77 unless you farm hard nodes. You could also add Daka or Fives once you finish qui gon, or GS once you finish old ben.

Finish up GS first, it won't take too long. You don't want to fall behind in arena while everyone else is getting their guys up to 7*.

Depends on your team.

But. GS is high dps in raid. Definitely usefup there.

Ben is goodneven with 4 stars. If u switch gears you can definitely gear and use ben at 4* while going back and finishing GS. In GW it is an oddity that my 4 star Ben ever dies. It is kinda fun when it does happen, but his death buff aint that great, really

80 shards of ben will take a long time, though.

4/5 toons on your squad are very common in arena. There's nothing really non-conventional about your squad except for using NI. Hard to believe you're ranked 38 with that squad

I recently had the same dilemma & even though I badly want Old Ben too I opted to 7* GS.

I'm very happy with my choice. GS is a beast in my games & when you use swarm with offensive up? Lethal.
Important to note it's very easy to reach gear 9...unlike a lot of others.

Yeah easy gearing of GS is a very important point in this period of insane gear gating. GS is my only gear 9 toon right now and will probably remain so for a while. If there is any justice in this world dodge will get nerfed, making farming Old Ben a waste of time. GS, however, will always be relevant due to his high damage output.

Depends on your current roster. If you have sufficient high damage attackers, you can farm Old Ben. Otherwise take GS to the max. Old Ben.as leader will not win you battles if you lack damage output.
