Boba Fett buyer's remorse? Calling on Boba fans...

So I used my first 6400 Cantina credits unlocking this guy, immediately leveled him up to my character level.. and he was unimpressive. So then I spent a bunch more resources getting him up to gear level 6... and he's STILL unimpressive.
Does decent damage but not great. His special looks good on paper but in actual fights it is resisted over 80% of the time.
My current "big 5" are Barriss, Luminara, Asajj, Dooku and Sideous. I will have Vader unlocked soon as well. I like using Boba for his special at the start of a big fight in GW, and for mop-up duty. He also helps my dark side team. I don't regret getting him, but I'm not sure it's worth spending more on him.
Now I got him in part because on occasion I would borrow someone else's Boba and the guy would just cream everything. But I'm starting to think this was just because he was higher level than my other characters.
Does he advance particularly well at higher star levels? Am I missing something?
I either keep working on him or maybe unlock Old Daka (another one people say is great but she I have never been impressed with at all...)

Who do you have on your Crit team? I've just started using the Resistance Pilot as a finisher in GW, the guy is a MONSTER.

Thanks. It may be that he just needs the right team, not the hodgepodge I have right now.
Also I realized that when I borrow him I get the effects of his leadership skill, and I don't right now because he's not in the leader spot. That makes a difference.
I think I will keep working on him. I'd rather star him up than start dealing with Daka anyway.
I have both resistance and tie pilot and hands down tie pilot is better. He's same gear but 1 star lower than resistance and he out doses him 10 fold. Granted, resist does have higher speed and expose which is beautiful. Tie pilot though, when someone hits 50% hp, gets a buff to armor pen and while he has bat buff (advantage) has 60% to double attack his auto. Also, if you attack someone with auto while they're above 50% and get them to that theshold, you can shoot 3 times. Basically eliminates someone with 1 turn (happens like 50% of the time I shoot someone with it). Most of the times I don't even bother using his snipe bc auto is so Op.
His leadership is 20% crit which is the highest in the game. He's also a tank class so he's not going to dps like a glass cannon. But he's one of those survivor builds that does good dmg over time, as the fight progresses. So he's a tank with great leadership and aoe. Not impressive like dooku or anything but dooku also has no real hp. Just a bunch of bonus attacks.
These squishie characters shine at lower level because you're not fighting big hitters. They are able to hang in there a few rounds to get the most out of there strengths. But at the current endgame to give an example with stacked Dots it not surprising to see my Vader crit for 6k with culling blade. Not surprising to see Landos AOE hit 4k+ crit. Even Luminara can hit 4k+ crit. You take a character like Dooku or Ventress they are dead or a bar or two from it by the second round.
They said the meta currently is healer heavy teams. I strongly disagree. High AOE and single target big hitters will wipe a heavy healer team out without any worry of losing. But Boba can take the big aoes and the big single dpsr's and still be standing the next round. Boba is just an all around solid well rounded tank.
This is probably true for the highest of the high end players, specifically those who did soft launch or those who are high $$ spenders. I've played every day since the hard launch right around thanksgiving, always going as far as possible in GW, trying to play with synergetic teams, actually following a lot of the advice you've given on the boards. That said, I'm still 20 shards away from getting Vader. I paid for Dooku, but the rest of my chars have been attained via grinding them out. Ventress, for my level and who I'm going up against, is a great character and can cause some serious trouble.
I have no doubt that Lando/Vader/Boba when they're all 6 or 7 * characters are nearly unstoppable compared to the rest of the current field of toons, but I'd be willing to bet that there are very, very few players that are at your caliber/level that can take advantage.

Pretty cool..except I still only got 2 stars. Oh well.
Resistance Pilot is one of my faves. Preach on brutha.
But I will say it determines how good of a team you have to build around him and how fast you want to level/star him up to pull his own weight.
Pretty good collection of characters so far and GROWING
I started on my partners phone had tie fighter pilot, then bought a new iPad and this month it's that gunslinger dood - miss that tie fighter pilot so much! Having said that he is useless when being controlled by AI - I always take him out first turn, squishy thing that he is ...
Bobafett really unsure on - I can never land his ability block despite the fact it's meant to be 65% - building him up for a possible sub into my team but not sure he cuts it ...
I can see him in a stronger meta in the future
In your team he will be unimpressive

Maybe he'll be better later. Right now, he's not very good.
As for Asajj, yes, she is squishy. You'll notice it more when you get to cap and start seeing the big hitters. Mine is 6* and level 66 and against a high offense team I'm lucky if she gets one turn before she's killed.
