Yoda's damage needs to be buffed
Well I don't know if it's worth posting it but I hope lots of people participate so to get the devs' attention- like a petition or smth.
They really need to buff Yoda's damage...The guy is the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, supposedly one of the most powerful ones ever and he hits like a youngling who isn't even properly trained..Not to mention the process to get him in game- spending tons of time and resources to gather 5 7* Jedis and play one of the most ANNOYING battles ever designed in games' history. Only for that, he should hit like a proper master. If not, at least his damage numbers should be similar to Qui Gon's.
We went through so much to acquire him you guys...It hurts me to see him struggling to finish an already half-dead character in the arena...
I'm not asking to place him in the same category with Rey and FOTP, but still...

Characters that do well are the ones that can't go wrong. Ones with abilities that trigger under certain conditions. Like Fives for example... attack, attack, counter, counter, counter.
Wow...Strong arguments my man...
If you intend to comment, at least care to elaborate
This.
Yoda, without any buffs on a QGJ lead team, would go first and hit someone (pre-protection) for about 6-8k. That's an opener. If he had an offense up buff? Well, you might as well just flip the game to auto because you've already lost.
Hist damage was rightfully lowered and he is now a competitive, but no OP, champion.
Three times, in the history of facing Yoda as an opponent, has he used meditation properly...and I think that was a complete accident.
@fudgra
He can be good on QGJ lead teams. Yoda always goes first, on defense, and throw an RG in there and he sticks around. You now have a buffed crazy fast furby with offense up being a total wrecking ball for several turns.
But, I still agree, outside of what I just described above he is sub par in any other team (at least from the teams I have fought). He is still well worth his weight... okay more so... when you go against a Phasma/Kylo team. Counter buff for my entire team? THANKS BUDDY!
He's fun to use with an old Ben+kylo team, especially if you have Ventress on your side. All you see is green.
I passed on Dooku, Kylo, Daka, GS to focus on Jedi. When Yoda first came out, I was rewarded climbed to top 5 arena, the way it should be. Now, I cannot use in arena... True, I can use him to win battles due to utility, but if I fight my last battle him, I get hammered. Last time I left him in for battle 5 I fell from 9 to 91 overnight.
So now, I get thumped by the people who ignored the challenge to get the greatest Jedi in the Galaxy.
How can a person with rudimentary knowledge of StarWars let this happen. It is a travesty. The whole Yoda story is.... Size matters not.... Now his power is as diminutive as his stature... Makes me very sad on a number of levels.
Sorry, but that is not balance and it is not fair to those of us who made sacrifices to complete the challenge. I feel robbed!!!!
Restore Yoda to his rightful place at the top of the food chain, and keep the challenge hard!!! I suffered through it and hated every minute of it. But, the reward was worth it... Back them. Now, I wish had pursued other characters.
Please make me glad I did the challenge again.
He can be very useful. If he was worth leaving in the arena he'd be much more valuable. Considering his damage nerf I don't think he is when controlled by AI. Most people have already removed him from their arena teams. Before the nerf Yodas were everywhere.
It is an absolute joke to call for buffs to characters that are already better than half the other characters in the game. He is amazing in raids, and is pretty decent in arena too.
One of my biggest regrets in this game. Before the Yoda deal I had GS on 6*. I actually postponed getting his 7th to get all these Jedi to 7*.
Months later, I finally have five 7* Jedi, still a 6* GS, and soon a 7* Yoda that's no longer arena worthy since he's seen as a non-threat. If arena battles were actual PvP it would be a different ballgame.
Yoda is above average and at present unique.
First off he is a support character - not an attacker
No his shards do not need to be added to hard battles or guild shipments. Like vader and grievous you have to put in the work if you want him
This is why the Devs shouldn't be nerfing/buffing anything without half the games populous having said hero... Most people don't even know what they want out of life let alone the game they play "on occation".
Honestly, it's like sitting in on a preschool class & listening in on the kids there in... To them they sound like professors, to the rest of the world... Like the adolescence they are.
Except for magma. He really does need to be buffed.
They honestly need to bring more toons in line with their class. You have tanks that can't taunt, how is this possible? Fives can double tap people but he can't taunt, even though mitigating damage to your softer allies should be a tanks primary purpose.
You HAVE to be kidding me right? Like what is wrong with you?? Yoda BORDERLINE OP???
What is worse is people Level 69 are complaining they struggle against L80 players like 5555s and waste time moaning for nerfs instead of just leveling. Until the majority of the board are 80, and geared equivalently then nobody should be getting nerfs. I'm 77 and no longer have that much issue with 5s whereas 4 levels ago I avoided him like the plague.
Yoda is fine where he is. Love him in the raid and in GW. He's not in my arena team as he's a little complex for the AI to cope with - I prefer to leave the AI with no random button pressing issues. That being said he is now viable and another option for teams, something we've never had in previous metas.
You have to think of toons in terms of roles and toolsets. Heavy dps is heavy dps, things like GS and 86. They do this one thing, kill the enemy fast as possible, and that's their task.
Everyone else serves to either shield your dps to give them longer to do their job (tanks, in particular), or manipulates to control events and create opportunities for the killers to do their job. And that's it. Nobody should excel at both (although QGJ is admittedly close...). Several roles grouped together, but each with different aspects: survivability, control, and opportunity creation.
Yoda excels, really excels, at many within the second set of roles. He's not heavy dps. And he shouldn't be. And if you can excuse me for putting it bluntly, anyone you believes he needs to have his dps jacked up to be worth while really doesn't understand how this game works, how to build an effective team, or the basic concept that different toons are good at different roles and that you need a mixture of roles in order to succeed.
ROFL. No.
You pay for his toolbox by him not having crazy damage.
