Abilities at level 8

Long time listener, first time caller.

Snooping around at the level 8 abilities for characters has proven very beneficial to me. Lots of great information to be found there at swgohcantina. Makes it easier for those long term planners. Level 8 abilities will be available when the level cap is raised again.

By and large, these level 8 abilities are huge. Many could be game changers.

A few that stick out:

Boba is getting an awesome leader bonus with +10% Crit chance on top of his already potent 50% Crit damage. It'll make him a viable leader when the cap is raised. His other abilities get a fun boost too.

HK-47's leader ability will up from 30% to 50% turn meter addition for a critical hit. This means 2 Crits from a droid will proc another immediate turn. This is so huge it feels a bit broken even. This would make even IG-100magnaguard a force to be reckoned with.

Both of Luminara's second abilities will be one less cooldown. Hello GW wins for those that are having a tough time.

Daka will gain a +15% stun chance on her primary. That raises it 60%. And her heal will be -1 cooldown.

IG-88's AOE will have a 50% defense down chance.

QGJ will add a healing component to the assister on his secondary attack. +20% healthy recovery! His leader ability will also apply to ALL allies. The +23 speed will be for more than just Jedi! This could create loads of potential counters to the Poe problem.

Geo's swarm will -1 cooldown.

FOTP gains +15% damage on primary attack.

Mace Windu becomes a viable leader. Every critical hit gains +5% health recovery at lv 8.

And the one that prompted this whole post because of how disappointing it is. PLO KOON. He loses all clone synergy, which was the whole reason to farm him anyways (in hopes of more clones to be added in the future). His third ability gave defense up to all allies and +50% turn meter to clones. That ability gains +50% turn meter for NON-clone allies at level 8. Plo may be usable now for all builds, but he no longer will have any synergy with clones whatsoever. That sucks for those of us that were hoping to use him in a clone specific team build. I really hope they rethink this. So disappointing.

All in all, big stuff coming at ability level 8.
