Question about speed

Pile

So, I've recently gotten a couple of mods that should have upgraded BB8 and Scavenger Rey in both speed and damage out put specifically but have noticed that the faster my JTR team is the less damage they are producing. Anyone else have or notice this? Turn order hasn't been affected but it seems like I can't genetate as much overall damage in P1 of heroic.

Are you outrunning your foresights leading up to Drain Force? That is about the only detriment I can think of of having them ‘too fast’.

But it’s probably more just a case of a string of bad Expose RNG. Between all the TM gain you get there, and the insane speeds DN will achieve inbetween turns from the number of hits you can get on him between turns with Rey and expose/specials constantly chipping away at his turn meter bar you really shouldn’t hardly be able to tell a minor increase in speed after the first turn.

You know, now that you mention it I bet I'm having to hit him with more basic attacks due to the speed increase

Why is that? R2, Trooper, BB8, and Scavenger never use basics. The only time they "use basic attacks" is when you call one of them with RJT's assist (or you call BB8 and his RWTP zeta calls an ally). RJT only uses a basic attack every third action or so. The number of basics should still be fairly low.

JTR has to use her basic once every third turn.

Scav should never have to use her basic.

No clue. I haven't noticed anything unusual lately, either in T6 or Heroic.

The only situation where the cooldown on specials doesn't happen is if they're already debuffed. So for instance, if JTR has defense down and she uses one special, you won't get the extra cooldown on the other special. But between her unique zeta and R2's combat analysis this doesn't happen often. It's much more of a problem against Sion (either P2 or P4) because of pain.

What mods did you switch in/out? Did you lose any crit chance, crit dam, offense, etc?

If Scavenger is debuffed (like Defense Down because she assisted RJT with a basic), and then her special doesn't crit (or you don't have Combat Analysis zeta on R2), then she won't get the cooldown reduction from RJT's leadership.

In that case, you will get into more situations where she has to use her basic, and thus will get debuffed, and the cycle will repeat.
