Why they haven't nerf rey?

This is a gear problem, not a toon problem. Due to mechanics, some toons will temporarily throw the current meta out of whack, until the bell curve catches up. It's probably working as intended.

The devs didn't make these changes without testing these toons against other top gear toons.

Fully geared 555's AND Rey is so scary, the guy on my server with this team very considerately parks his immovable ass in the #2 spot for 23 hours a day.

Fives is the issue. Not Rey

^What's your team? I'm curious for some tips!

The bell curve will never catch up unless they devote one big patch to rebalancing every toon in the game. Ugnaught is situational, and useless against every other toon other than droids, Mob Enforcer's single target nade is stupid because it doesn't about the same damage as Greedo's detonator which targets everyone, Stormtrooper's taunt is shit compared to ST Han's passive and Stormtrooper will have less HP than Han at max gear.

This is both a gear problem and a toon problem. Have you even looked at any other toons, other than Rey and Fives?

You haven't run across a geared 5s with double tap on his counter attack have you? You need 3 toons typically to take him down, you'll want Rey then.

Ran into an Omega Fives many times in GW. He isn't hard to deal with Bariss, GS, Daka, Aayla, and QGJ. Kill everyone else and stun and repeat. Not that hard of a strategy.

I also have Fives in Arena, that doesn't make people not want to attack me and I always end up losing, so I don't see how he is hard to beat when others can.

Arena, not GW.

Your point? I use the same GW team throughout the whole run, so I have zero protection, but still win. Try to stun him more and he'll be taken out real quick. His damage isn't that big. Tenacity would also help, but that is a no brainer there.

I've also mentioned I use Fives in Arena and he isn't winning me any defenses for me, but he does scare away people who don't know how to deal with him, one being you.

It's totally different because when you're facing 5s in the top 10 he's maxed out in everything whereas GW may not be, plus you're not using the same squad. If you are using that squad in Arena perhaps that's you're problem. I can manage 5s just fine, but I would honestly rather have Rey across from me than a max 5s.

I always attack teams that have Rey in and usually finish with all my players. Not once has Rey took out one of my players with one hit. She is in my team aswell but if she seems to be vine table to Dakas stun. She's always the second player I attack after QGJ coz she can cause a lot of damage but easily defeated in my opinion

Who is on your team

Well, we know that he has Rey in his team. Probably well geared too.

I have a speed assist team, and yes, I can beat gear 9 Rey + RG. But like if she doesn't get foresight and my two assists pull correctly and they all hit hard. So yeah, there's at least a 8% chance I can snipe at payout. It's just that little extra health that makes Rey so much harder. So yeah, once I gear up, she will be nothing, again.

As for Ugnaught and all.. yeah, there's a balance issue at stake. But making the current toons all mediocre by buffing every random toon in the game isn't a really great option. People hard farm certain toons for a reward. If a team of Ugnaught, CUP, FOST, NS Acolyte, and Chewie are suddenly on par with Dooku, 555's, Rey, RG, Phasma, then I can assure you, this will not please the majority of players.

If these weaker toons eventually even out end game, that would be better. Nerfing things because of some higher geared toons having a more immediate and visible impact than others is just going to cause more problems in the end.

What we need is a way to farm gear to get even with the precrafters. It is going to be another 3-5 weeks before my guild can even complete a Tier V raid. In the meantime, no mk5 Droid callers.

If Ugnaught's level 9 gear and level 8 abilities make him viable in Arena, I don't think there will be a lot of complaining. It will be a month before anyone takes a chance on using these gears on him, anyway. If you make him a contender, right now, on par with the likes of hard-farm-Rey or P2P Leia, this will make some people rage.

FTR, I have Ugnaught, and I don't have Rey or Leia.

Well, I suppose you always had to take available gears into account. One of the big reasons GS is so good is he gets to gear 9, even before the lvl increase. Now the situation is there is mk5 furnace available in shipments. But no droid caller. This will make certain toons payoff in Arena for perhaps weeks or even months. I don't know why, but I assumed when precrafters could make mk5 droid callers, that the rest of us wouldn't be that far behind. When you hear they added 50 purples, you think that takes an extra week or two to farm. Now it's an extra month or two, if you are in a very active and high level guild.
