Sharding or gearing?

Tenchi1969

I am level 55, and most of my gear now for my mains in Purple. I am looking at the requirements to gear to 8 for some of my toons, and it's really high. I am figuring I am getting 720 energy a day(240 natural, 480 from 4 refills). The characters I want to star up right now takes 444 of that per day atm. Should I concentrate on starring or farming mats? Once I get everyone up to 5* should I then concentrate on gear?

As per Swgohcantina.com, they explain that gear is better to build than Star levels...

Gear VII is the max for most of the toons so you can space out on gear farming if all your mains are there.Get evreyone to 5* other wise they wont survive more than a couple turns in squad arena and gw.Then get back to gears

Most toons can't actually finish getting to gear 8 because it's behind a level cap we can't reach. If your toons gear is already to level 7 I would recommend trying to get them to 7*'s
