My 1st GW Report after update.
By node 3 my primary team's protection bars were toast
By node 6 I began realize my primary team wasn't gonna cut it after the update
By node 7 I began having to run 3 healers & 2 DPS with Barriss as Leader
By node 8 I began having to use suicide squads for every node
By node 11 I began using B & C teams to thin their numbers
On node 12 I continued thinning their numbers and finished them off with a random group level 71 to 73 characters
My Verdict: it didn't seem to really be any harder, but it took alot longer and required alot more suicide squads. I didn't do as many retreats because there wasn't really any 1 turn kills against me or against my opponents. In the end GW was certainly not impossible, but it was different and kinda slow and mundane.
The team I ultimately found the most success with was
Barriss (L)
Luminara
Jedi Consular
IG-86
Genosian Soldier
All maxed at level 74 except Barriss who is only a 5 star level 73 with level 4 & 5 abilities. I am obviously going to have to upgrade Barriss more for continued success I think.

On my FTP account, which is lvl69 I used the same team as before (as it's the only one I have) QGJ(L), RG, Lumi, JC and GS and completed it with no issues.
Seems like you understand it perfectly.
you used lot of suicide squads for every node, B and C teams, also random group of high level chars, and your verdict is "not really harder"?
just wow...
Nah it wasn't harder. I probably didn't have to use B & C teams to get by node 11 & 12 but since none of my characters had died (except suicide squads) I figured I could just sacrifice some characters to make the last 2 nodes easier. This is something I would often do before the update as well. As for the suicide squads I needed to use it on node 8 for sure after that I just automatically used 1 for every node to force then to use their best abilities and even out the playing field because they had protection bars and I didn't. I have ALOT of low level characters I can use for suicide squads so it wasn't a big deal for me.
Yeah Barriss seems much more important than before the update. I hardly ever used her in GW before.
Agreed and probably also because she will be needed to counter Sidious more than before as well.

Didn't lose a toon, no harder than before just takes me 10-15mins longer.
The one awesome thing about the battles being a bit longer, for my team, is that now I can use yodas BM every battle because the cool down would be ready by the next one. I couldn't do that before
Yeah Yoda finally gained his usability. Everywhere.
