I know it says they are weighted, but this only allows you to gear new crusaders, not to gear them WELL. Last event I spent about 20 days worth of time warps to have decent gear for the new crusaders (only to discover Mindy is unusable until a fix...), I kept getting duplicate epics for old crusaders, and that's just frustrating... I'd suggest that, for EVENT jeweled chests only (not regular ones), you can't get duplicate epics. It's hard enough to gear 2 crusaders with good items, doing it with 4 is TOO hard. I know missions can improve gear, but the more crusaders come out, the less likely you are to get a mission for the crusaders you actually use...

Really wanted Epics for Wendy, but that's looking very unlikely from the three gauranteed free JC's left to earn (for which gear will be divided amongst 4 instead of just the 2).

We feel it's fair, since the objective is a guaranteed Jeweled event chest, and it will only occur until we get back to the events with 5 Tier 1 objectives. @ Everyone else: Thank you for the feedback on the chest weighting. The designers are keeping their eyes on it. The contents are still random though, even with the weights.
692 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 24th 2016 at 4:52 PM Teschio Erika, the weighting is a good thing, but it only helps to get 3 items on crusaders. The problem is not gearing them up, but having useful items on them. Before event repeat we had a few guarantee chests to gear 2 crusaders, now we have the same amount of chests but divided by 4. And even if drops are weighted, this makes it twice as hard to get epic or rare gear.

I haven't played with him much but I found that when he was alone in the back row with nothing beside or behind him I had higher DPS.

X ....O X As Snow mentions, he will have his buff bubble for Spooked when he is alone enough for it to work, and it will work when he's in the back row.

My only complaint is that it can be incredibly hard to get even common gear in all the slots for the four event crusaders due to rng. I spent a considerable number of time warps for thousands of extra tokens and kept getting duplicate gear before finally giving up.
