Scout Trooper omicron, is it worth it?
I can't find much info on if the omicron is worth it. Anyone add it and see a huge impact in the raid?
Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?

GAC and TW omicrons are "eternal" ... Raid omicrons are temporary.
This one, not so much.
YMMV
Yeah, Boushh omicron was amazing, do not regret even a little. Scout's seems like it's not doing enough to be worthwhile, so will probably skip it.
Even if the Omicrons accounted for the same value per run, you get 8 runs with Speeder Bike and only 5 runs with Krayt. In each case the Scout and Boussh Omicrons could be used exactly once. So the Scout gets that Omi boost in 1/8 runs, where Boussh got it for 1/5 runs.
This means that they've slashed the value of the Omi by 37.5%. Instead of boosting the power of the Scout Omi to far beyond that of the Boussh Omi to compensate for this, the Scout Omi appears to be less effective in enhancing scores than the Boussh Omi was.
I will wait to make a final determination, but 37.5% less effectiveness combined with 2x the cost (most of us got the Boussh omi for 10 mats or bought it earlier for 20 and then were refunded 10 mats) looks very much like the value of the Scout Omi has crashed through the floor compared to Leia's.
Have they definitely announced the lifetime of Endor? I must have missed that. Can anyone point me to the announcement?
They said the new raid cadence is 8-9 months - so we didn't get a definitive date, but we can approximate now that it's been released.
Thanks, I was just thinking about how Krayt only lasted 6 months so wondering if there’ll be a set cadence in future.
Helping the guild get the next box is the thing to consider, right?
So let's go crazy, and say the the omi is worth 1 million extra points. Tier 5 is pretty much the first place this could be the case, so we're talking r7 characters in the roster here.
So in a guild with all people with a few r7 teams to use, reaching the 208 box is easy. 250 let's say. If every player in that guild applied the omi, with the 1 million extra points, that 50 million extra still makes zero difference to the guild box.
For many players it might not even bridge to the next personal reward.
I think many players could make up a million points with some g12 upgrades or low relics on their bottom 3 teams.
And I really don't think the omi is going to make a million points difference. Seems like there are plenty of ways to get extra points for the guild without using up an omi.
I found the boush omi good, as I ran my Jabba team every 3 days, and it made it easier to hit max in one try. I don't see that same incentive here.
Ah - I did miss that. Nearly useless though, so not sure it matters.
i hate agreeing with ahnald but if it was 10 omis might be worth it but 20 seems a bit much
He jumps the gun on some things, but he's right often enough to at least consider what he says.
I feel like that verbiage is more aimed at legacy raids than future raids - but who's to say? Maybe the next raid will be all about the imperial remnants.
1) Half the frequency, twice the rewards, same net result (and actually better results since we're getting higher scores)
2) BL half price omi was temporary
1) That’s the same net result without Scout omi. Your response doesn’t apply to the question: “why should I apply Scout omi?”
2) Yes. I wouldn’t have applied BL omi if it wasn’t on sale; but it was, and I applied it.
