Darth Vader Rework Thoughts

PatchesWasTaken

I have been thinking on how to improve Darth Vader for a while now. He should be one of the best characters in the game and instead he's just 'okay'. Even with his zeta upgrade he's not top tier. I was playing around with the idea of having Damage Over Time being more integral to his kit and came up with the idea of giving him bonus damage and speed for every DOT. I had thought thid eould be cool, but probably too strong. Then, Wampa came out and he has a similar stat scaling with DOT. So I figured now was a good time to share my ideas. So here is the update i came up with for his kit.

Darth Vader

Yes please, except the 6 speed from every damage over time would make him go 6 or seven times at one in rancor, 5 turns into the raid, you could culling blade your way through the raid in less time than cls does it
