Tarkin's Offense Up Ability.
Yes, you read that correctly.
I was testing my Imperial squad in GW against a Dooku team. I hit Tarkin's offense down ability and 2 toons get hit with it while the other 3 gain offense up instead.
This is absurd. Not only did the ability not work very well, it actually made the battle HARDER because it didn't work.
Resisting an effect should not provide the same benefits as dodging an attack.
On a separate note, this also highlights Tarkin's need for more potency, but I've already complained about that a lot.

He's awesome in tier V raids though, especially on the 4th part. Offense down was sticking constantly, and the turn meter reduction hit about half the time. Makes it far more manageable.
Yeah I agree. In tier V raids I can sometimes get his offense down to stick on the rancor...then again...sometimes it just debuffs the door panel.
Regardless, it's a useful ability when it works correctly. And he does good damage. With Vader lead my 6* Tarkin can crit for over 8k.
I made a thread awhile ago about how Tarkin needs a potency buff to something above his 7% or whatever it is. He can't land offense down most of the time and his TM reduction from his other special never does anything.
@EA_Jesse any comment?
they nerfed Veers, Tarkin and the rest AND they were NOT in a good place to begin with.
FIX THE EMPIRE !!!!!
its a mess and you should be ashamed
This is accurate. He has been the hero of the day for me on many raids
I am fully supportive of not giving a character offense up(through dooku's leadership) when an effect is resisted.
However, I am against increasing potency on tarkin because of his kit. Offense down for three turns on the entire enemy team is really scary. Lots of things can happen in three turns. You can get turn manipulated by st han while the offense down debuff is still on you, you can't bypass rg taunt while offense down is active, you get dpsed down to nothing while you deal little damage to the opponent.
Then there's the 45% chance to remove 70% of the enemy team's turn meter. That might not seem like much, but there are rather good odds that at least two will lose turn meter.Unless tarkin's kit is modified to be less potent, his potency should not be high.
That's reasonable, but his potency is currently SO low that he is hardly usable. It doesn't need to be drastic, but he does need a buff.
This seems to be the more important issue.
The potency issue is more of a side note on this post. Dooku's leader ability was the main problem here.
