It seems like folks like Rex are a lot less difficult than toons like Sith Trooper.
Who in your view are the hardest/easiest ones to gear up?

    Hardest: Greedo, FOST, Kenobi, Raid Han
    Easiest: Most droids (minus HK)

    Obviously I'm missing some, but those are the ones in my experience.

    click "gear" for total numbers, usually a good indication.

    I thought Nihilus was pretty easy compared to Sith Assassin. I always remembered JKA and Boba being a pain. Kenobi is currently a pain.

    Curious, but do you guys think usefulness = harder to gear?

    Like EP is pretty useful and so is TFP but I didn't find them nearly as daunting as some others

    Mace is really easy.
    Fives was pretty easy.
    Tusken Raider is pretty easy.
    Consular is fairly easy
    Droids are fairly easy (B2 and K2 are the hardest)

    Greedo is borderline useful n the best of cases, and was the hardest gear I've ever done.

    I think it all just depends tbh. Nihilus is easy to gear and useful but he isn't very fast and doesn't hit very hard. With all of the gear Boba gets, he gains more speed and such. Sometimes the harder gear make the toon more useful but sometimes the gear doesn't matter as much. It all depends on the toon and what you are using them for.

    I find the newer troops to be harder than earlier. Is this because AAT wasnt around when they set the gear requirements for early troops like STH/Lando?

    Before the tank raid, only 12 characters were able to get to gear 11. Among them, only QGJ requires less than 400 purple gear. He is almost certainly the character that is easiest to gear while still being usable in the game.
    Yoda, EE, Mace, GS all tie for second place.

    Easiest I've ever done? GS, QGJ, Rex, EP, Vader, and Yoda.

    Most miserable gear hogs I've maxed? General Kenobi and Boba Fett. I seem to recall Wedge, and Anakin were each a project. I'm currently eyeing Sidious, and he's no walk in the park either.

    Greedo needs 350 stun cuffs, 150 carbanti, 100 Mk6 detonators, 100 stun guns. He wins, and is not worth the gear.

    Not true at all about the Jawas. They use a ton of gear. When u consider the payoff, they are one of the worst.They all use nearly the same gear scheme too.

    Rex, Poggle & DN are the three easiest imo

    But they are both so squishy.

    I think Han Solo is probably the hardest start-to-finish gear I can remember building up.

    If memory serves, some of the easier ones were QGJ, Lando, and Lando. I've also heard Resistance Trooper is a very easy gear.

    That would be QGJ, Lando - and Ackbar (not Lando twice)

    Now that this thread is back ... thinking a few months since my previous post, Thrawn is definitely one of the hardest ... that carbanti requirement is insane
