It doesn’t require mods that are hard to acquire or special in any way. Most people probably had the necessary mods sitting unequipped already.
This is simply not true. The mods it requires to work well enough to take down reliced teams are NOT easy to acquire. They aren't easy to get and people didn't collect those types of mods before so they didn't have them laying around either. It took me a couple of months to farm up the right mods to be able to use the team effectively.
They only seem like crap mods because they don't require the stats that people usually think of as good. Except when reaching the pinnacle of proper modding and then it requires some pretty hefty speed secondaries.
I can guarantee that people who haven't already put effort into farming these weird types of mods for raiding or didn't put effort into farming mods for this team aren't beating reliced SE teams with mostly purple toons.
Well, if the mods on those SE teams are horrible I suppose. Mod farming is important for top places. Those SE teams should step up their game if they're getting beat by mostly purple teams. They are the ones whose mods say they shouldn't be in the top ranks.
Anyone who has been paying attention even a little bit has been saving high health mods, high offense mods and mods with high potency. Since very few other toons need those mods (except maybe the offense mods), there should be plenty lying around in your inventory unless you just negligently get rid of any mod that doesn’t have speed on it.
Yes, you can beat an SE squad with top end mods if you have an R7 GG with even remotely decent health mods. You can easily do so with G11 IG-88, IPD and BB-8.
It's not as simple as that you need about 80 speed, 40 cc and 60 potency for all of them in order to reliably beat anyone and to beat well modded relic teams at all. People don't have mods with all of those stats laying around. Don't need offense mods at all, the other stuff is hard enough to get right. Most people don't. That's why I hear people in my shard running Nuke teams with no purple characters complaining about being unable to beat full reliced well modded sith teams.
If people with mostly purple toons are beating full reliced SE teams it means 2 things are true:
1. That droid team has amazing mods that were very hard to come by
2. That SE team has crap mods and "shouldn't be in the top 50".
I couldn't even hit all my targets until I had T3 and 88 practically g13.
You keep making these pronouncements, but they are just factually wrong. G11 IG-88, BB-8 and IPD absolutely can beat top end SE teams with great mods. And it does not take “amazing” mods to do so. Anyone with an extensive mod collection could dig those mods up easily. I have made no effort to mod a GG nuke squad, and I’m absolutely certain I could easily get those stats with the mods I have lying around. That’s why people with 2 million GP in 3-4 year old shards are suddenly climbing with G11 Droids and R5 GG. Because it requires far less of an investment.
You claimed that these mods didn't require any effort to farm whatsoever. I'm telling you I had to farm these mods up specifically because I didn't have them. When relics came out I had to change my modding and I still don't have all the right mods for it to work like it should.
All sorts of player in my shard don't have them available despite being top players for a long time because they aren't common laying around mods. Just because YOU happened to have them laying around doesn't mean most people do. In fact, most people do not.
You are telling me that people are running at least 3 purple droids and beating full reliced SE teams and don't have amazing mods? No way man, just no way. They don't have all those stats from the g12 gear so they had to make it up with mods and that means they have some insane mods. People in my shard can't win against full relic teams because they don't have the mods when none of their characters are purple.
So I keep making all these statements that are backed up by all the how to videos on how to gear and mod nuke and what I have seen is the most common experience people have (that they can't reach their benchmarks so their nuke doesn't really work). You keep saying these mods are easy to have and get based on nothing. Nothing supports that. All the evidence supports that NOT being the case.
You don’t need great stats on anyone other than T3 and GG. Putting together crit chance and potency mods is not that difficult for anyone with any sort of mod collection. I’m sorry you didn’t have them. Everyone in my guild has them sitting unused in their inventory.
