Old Ben, useful?
I have been on the fence about Obi, I have a 5* GK in the works and wonder if his older self is worth developing past g9? Talk to me, is he worth zetas etc?
Forum Discussion
- I've got Old Ben and General Kenobi both at Gear 12, and love both of them. Currently running GK under JTR, but back with I was using a CLS lead, OB was the much better option, especially when facing zPalp "Nightmare" teams. The ability to Taunt through a Fracture, and his Mind Tricks to put a stop to all of those Sith AoE Special Abilities was invaluable.
Old Ben was critical to my Arena team for at least half a year, maybe longer, and he's still useful in TBs and TWs. Love that toon. Well worth the gearing. - Follow-up:
As you can see, I brought him to g12 (no zetas, yet) and he is truly a useful hero. Follow your own judgement, but he has proven to be a VERY useful Tool. Old or New ;) - Nice! I think I'll do SPP first as we're a ways away from HSTR with JTR.

One of the top 10 toons in the game when zetaed.
The regain taunt after losing taunt zeta is huge.
You can never have too many tanks.
so tons of protection (mods) and utilize as a tank?"chionophile;c-1623778" wrote:

Protection and potency. And yes, because that's what he is.
I ask about tank because for a long time he was a suicide bomber, and you wanted him to be defeated for his group buff."ZCD_9915;c-1623785" wrote:
Traya makes GK useless so old ben has finally found his place. Especially in Jedi teams
Even in Bastilla squads?"ChristophIV;c-1623792" wrote:
I still can't decide between Old Ben and GK as my favourite. Got both at g12 and current using both under Bastila lead until I have Hoda ready then GK will probably get dropped.
Depends on who you are running and who you are facing.
For me, until GK is maxed, Baze is my fav. So tough :)"Stokat;c-1623954" wrote:
Darn these replies almost make me regret all the gear I invested in GK, maybe should have gone with OB instead. Oh well...
I've got a CLS lead. Was super excited to use GK instead of OB. Got him and used him twice I think. At this stage he doesn't take OB's place, no way.- Super fast OB plus R2 makes like a triple taunt. R2 smoke screens him first turn so he can use mind tricks first, then taunt after he wakes up from fracture or whatever.
- Planning Flourish zeta soon too?
