Dengar's character description is misleading
"Adaptable Scoundrel attacker that Stuns and inflicts Tenacity Down."
Now this might sound awesome "A new debuff Tenacity Down wow!" but if you look closely Dengar gets a whopping 77% potency at max gear. 77! That's if you choose to equip him with a scanner. Without one he has a minuscule 37% potency, not Sid levels of bad, but think about how often a maxed FOTP lands his debuffs.. yeah that bad.
My issue with this is what's the thinking behind making a character than can potentially land all of these debuffs and then burying him with pathetic potency? Compare this to the newest P2W character B2 who has 170% potency! Even without a scanner that's a robust 130% potency which all but ensures his debuffs will stick on the enemy.
Please tell me what was the thought process behind this design choice. I was really excited for Dengar until I saw his potency, and don't even get me started on his speed..

Unacceptable!
Yes but that's gear 8 with 75%, Dengar gets 77% only after you equip him with a scanner at gear 9 which every character and his mom needs.

Potency is an awful stat that makes this game a lot worse than it needs to be!
They could get rid of potency and compensate by changing the percentages of abilities that inflict debuffs. However, I think giving characters that revolve around debuffs significant potency would make the most sense. Look at Sid and how much he fell off because he literally has no potency, now a major portion of his kit is useless.
