So, yeah. At level 80 IG-100 is no chump and Geo not awesome anymore. Plus, the update to combat mechanics is at hand. I'll be working on IG-100 from now on, Geo will stay at one star. My thanks to everybody, who has contributed to this thread. Great read!
I'm confused. How did you get to the conclusion that Geo is not awesome anymore from that? Geo has a 6645 special attack which is a ally assist attack, so there is also the basic attack of another character not included. Geo deals about 600 more damage with the basic attack than 100. 100 has about 9k extra HP on Geo, but Geo's speed is a little less than double 100s. So Geo will currently goes first and has a huge burst. In terms of balancing, GS is an easy takeout if you focus on him early cause of low hit points, and his damage, while good, isn't up to the level of Rey/RP/HRS/even Yoda (GS really benefits from the basic attack offense up primarily.) I don't see GS being changed too much with the damage-speed changes because he is fairly balanced. IG100 is low damage output and slow, so he will be almost surely get a buff - but there is no knowing how useful the changes will be. He does provide TM control, but seems like GS is more of a known at this point. Not saying not to go for IG100, but not sure how you came to that conclusion based on the numbers you provided when everything there points to 100 being the worst of the 5 listed.
