Are there plans to Nerf Luminara ? It seems like the Devs keep making some pretty terrible decisions yea she hits hard & heals great but her health is low to make up for it & I personally dont think she needs a nerf.

Im hearing some nerf talks & I hope they arent true for us to invest in shard collecting & leveling certain characters & for the devs to go back & nerf them It then becomes a waste of time
The (massive!) buffing of Sidious in the last update is one of the most baffling things I've ever seen in 10+ years of online gaming. You don't buff a character everyone already considers near-mandatory for PvP.
I would agree if both those characters weren't so available to EVERYONE. Sid & Lumin like the man said above are EASY farms. The only people who dont have Sid & probably complain are ones who didnt go for him first when the game came out (I know a few who went with opress first
Seems you made this thread more for yourself to pre-whine and insult nameless players, than to actually ask a question.
I haven't read about nerfs regarding Lumin, but as Qeltar illustrated, there will ALWAYS be a "best" character. When one is nerfed, another fills its place and becomes the new OP thing. It's like a freakin' Hydra! This is why games go through constant balancing.
At some point in the future, I'd bet that one or more of the starter characters will be called OP.
Are there plans to nerf Luminara ? It was a yes or no question & you could add why you think or dont think she should be nerfed, dont really care for anything you got to say involving anything else.
Agreed but thats the way it seems to be headed, they're screaming nerf for Sid & Lumin imo I Sid is the easiest to farm as I stay in the top 200 at the least, so I always have arena shipment points to buy sid shards, & everyone that has sid has him 5* or higher same goes for Lumin dont understand why people complain and just dont farm for then instead
The problem isn't that Lumi and Sid are overpowered. The problem is that most of the other options for shipment rewards in their areas are awful. And also that some large percentage of characters are simply not available to the majority of players.
I can agree with that i should literally have sid 7* in about a week & a half - 2 weeks & I dont know who to go for because everyone else in the arena shipments are terrible, & for galactic war its luman or nothing currently, If they took the stronger characters & split them amongst Cantina, Arena, & Galactic shipments it would make it a tough choice for me its sid & luman & The cantina shipments have decent characters but no staples in my opinion atleast
You seem to be quite the salty fellow. It's funny you ask for constructive feedback, seeing how your initial post is full of childish rambling.
Not really I could careless im having quite the discussion with acouple guys on here & they've make some good points, you just don't make any points at all, so why are you talking again ?
Please provide these Lumin nerf threads you are referring to. You are making it sound like there is a current following behind it, but I'm just not seeing it, yet. Of course there will be more nerfs to come throughout the life of the game, but it seems you are trying to stir the pot early.
Who is this "they?"
No one is calling for the nerfs that you propose.

My point is, you started off your post pre-insulting anyone that may not agree with you. So I think you care less about whether she gets nerfed or not, and are just trying to make yourself feel better by lashing out at the public.
Is it game breaking and needs ro be adjusted immediately? Not at all. But expect her to be adjusted in the future and rightfully so.
There are actually quite a few comments on various posts speaking about a possible lumin nerf on the horizon, same goes for Sid, acouple players are scared of this I asked if there were plans to nerf lumin it was the first thing I asked up top, & Yes I complained about the noob crybabies who also complained about dooku (not OP) Bariss (Not OP) & they got nerfs that weren't necessary Pokebreaker you're probably one of those crybabies seeing as you have a problem with it. So you dont think Lumin is getting a nerf thats fine, that was the question "Are there plans to Nerf Lumin ?" Because im seeing quite the few comments (not threads) either complaining of lumin, or talking about a possible lumin nerf. But thanks for atleast trying to get on topic pokebreaker.
I dont agree but respect your opinion, I kill her before she even has a chance to do any real damage. Her health is low 3-5 hits max depending on if I critical & shes erased. Almost everyone that is powerful has one flaw with the exception of maybe old ben, Her health is low, Sids health is low, tie fighter does have damage but cant take a single hit, same goes for luke, Bariss heals amazingly but deals no damage so really isnt a factor (I usually save her for last & either stun or ability block her) dooku has great counterattacking but has no health, Save him for last and he gets destroyed or utilize stun early & he cant take more then 4 hits 3 if you land a critical. Everyone has a weakness people scream OP instead of using a strategy & exploiting that weakness. Thats my problem right now with the nerfs I haven't faced anyone in the game I personally couldnt handle despite me seeing OP slapped across these forums. But I do respect your opinion.
Sigh, Ad Hominem is clearly your only defense when you feel cornered. I feel bad for engaging you now. I'd hate to make myself look foolish like that. I can also tell your assumption skills are pretty bad as well.
Please provide the evidence of a Lumin nerf conspiracy. A few posts that most haven't seen don't justify anything. That is you getting worked up for nothing.
Most gamers can tell what items in a game are going to be nerfed, well before they happen. It's really not rocket science. They will all come in time, as they always do in every other game.
While I actually agree with your statements of strategy and tactic, your delivery was simply childish.
There is no immediate post, I imagine there will be, if you go to a few posts & scroll through the comments you'll see quite a few people either crying for a nerf, OR implying she will get nerfed. Its not an assumption when you see it with your own eyes. & more then a few on this post even think she will get nerfed. So because you dont think so (Thank the lord you finally got on topic) nobody does ? Does that make sense ? I hope you're right that she wont get nerfed, but stemming from different comments on different posts a nerf is on the horizon they either complain her healing is too strong, OR she does too much damage & never bring up her lack of health.
Sounds good on paper, but she's usually on a team with other even more dangerous enemies, and is rarely the best first target.
They nerfed Barriss to death because she was "better than all the other healers", a debatable point at best. Lumi is now the best healer AND easy to level AND very potent offensively. I will be surprised if she is not nerfed at least a bit.
But Sidious needs nerfing far more.

I see your point. I don't scream OP because until the cap is released and we can level beyond 60 in my opinion it's impossible to balance anything. What may be effective at 60 may not be at 70. I was really surprised the devs did any balancing this early in the game. But all we can do is take the hits and do our best to build teams around the constant changes.
exactly dooku isnt effective at my level (51) Not only because of his health but also his shards are difficult to farm, but lets hope they dont nerf em' all (pokemon reference) lmao
My thing is it messes over people who took the time to build those characters, shard farming isnt easy in any way in this game its ofcourse easier in arena & galactic but it still takes 2 weeks to star characters nerfing them is terrible
Work on the Cookie cutter.
^^THIS^^
what seems like imbalance is just the CURRENT result of different farmability, which is going to even out very soon.
Personally I find e.g. a 7*Lea to be far more disturbing, as it takes a lot of $ to actually get one and she is not available to everybody...
