Yeah I think energy costs are way too high across the board right now. Especially with the slow rate of recharge.
I'm not sure how far into the LS/DS campaigns you are but from Stage 5 onwards normal and hard energy costs go up to 8 and 16! Which is ridiculous, especially when Barriss Offee shards are only able to be farmed in 5C and 5E Dark Side.
Edit: Oh I forgot to say that Cantina energy costs actually go up to 10 per fight from Stage 3 and 4 :s
I keep saying that the energy costs should be reduced to 4/8 for normal/hard and then 6/12 for Stage 5 and up, and Cantina should be 6 and 8. Hopefully if I say it enough on these forums someone at EA will notice and change it :#
I haven't got Mace or Plo Koon so can't really comment on their usefulness to be honest.
That's why I've just been farming Consular shards because I wanted a decent healer for GW/Arena.
