Why would anyone spend 5 omegas to upgrade Old Ben's Elegant Form?
At level 7, it automatically procs Evade for 2 turns, and his only special, Mind Tricks, has a 5 turns cool down.
Spending 5 omegas to upgrade Elegant Form to level 8 will make Evade last 1 turn longer. Wow.
Am I missing something or is this upgrade completely useless? Old Ben has no choice but to use his basic every other turn, so why would an extra Evade turn change anything?

But one of the most useless out there.
Your argument has no merit. The fact that it can be dispelled makes lengthening the duration even more useless. The OP has a point. Ben has only one other ability so the *most* he could go without reapplying it is 2 turns. Having it last 3 turns is useless.
They should change to 15% damage or add 50% chance to stun if opponent is less than 50% hp or something like that.
But then he just attacks again because his Mind Trick is on a bazillion turn cooldown.
I vote that a second evasion buff is stacked on top of the first.
And, Welcome to the forums. haha
Whoah have to totally disagree with this (taking this to mean you think it's useless). STHAN cooldown on Taunt is invaluable in the right setup. Fire off taunt, ST Han protects and provides TM, STH Dead, Ewok Elder or Daka Rez, ST Han alive and Taunt 1 round sooner.
Not to mention that if you have a reliable Rez like EE, it makes STH a bit more valuable in GW.
Too bad he is dead by then
Yeah. This one baffles me too. 5%? Its not that great anyway.
When I would run Han he would always survive his first taunt and go again. I considered giving him the omegas for both his taunt and his basic so he could taunt again even faster, especially since it gets dispelled often.
Barriss heal, gives only herself defense up, a mostly worthless buff to start with.
Barriss unique, +1% turn meter gained her already wonky random dispel. 1%...
Ok i see your point on the dispel. But mine usually gets killed quick. He is not a tank
Is yours gear 11? I agree that he's not great gear 9 and below
25% more damage on an attack is a good omega.
Yeah, but ALL other assist attackers get 75 percent assist damage BEFORE omega. Fives SHOULD be the same way but no, he only gets 50 percent more.
Um no, that's only QGJ. Geo gives a bonus when he calls a fellow Geonosian only and 86 gives 75% bonus critical damage only when he calls another droid.
Before omega
QGJ: plus 75 percent assist damage
IG 86: plus 75 percent critical damage
Tusken: plus 75 percent assist damage
Fives: plus 50 Percent assist damage
There is no reason fives should have to waste an omega to get to 75 percent assist damage.
LOL on what planet? 3K? LOL.. yeah.. show me screen shot of that.. I have Obi.. NEVER seen him hit for over 2K.. and I don't EVER remember seeing him CRIT.. maybe with Sid lead in a challenge but other than.. NO!
Whenever I leave Ben for last I just use auto at that point because its a laugh riot, I hit him evade he hits me.. I shrug it off like its nothing.. It would take like 20 turns to defeat ANY of my toons if I let him bang on me without attacking him.. Ben is there for one thing TEAM evade and turn meter not for damage.. I doubt ANYONE gets injured whenever Ben attacks.. hell I could put in in with level 50 no armor and I BET it takes him 2 turns to kill it.
I could see someone using him because they like his helmet better
They also die easy. Fives doesn't. I stand by what I said.
