...characters overdue for nerfing:
1. Poe - No character should be able to act first in a fight and then knock down all enemy turn bars so that his team all goes before yours does. There is no counter-play to this at all, except getting lucky with RNG. He can even act before Dooku now, who was the only one before who had even a chance to stop him. That's bad design. The fact that he taunts and exposes just makes it worse.

2. FOTP - Broken (attacks more than he should), broken (at 7* has the damage of a glass cannon and health of a tank), his base attack is so overpowered that there's actually no reason to use his second attack, and has advantage ALL THE TIME where many other characters have to blow a special to get it.

At 7 star he changes from agi to str based which is incorrect for a ranged character, that is what results in the high hp increase and actually losing damage with the final star.
They should nerf it but not destroy the two characters. For example, CG can simply remove the turn meter reduction that Poe does.
The problem is that they outclass every other Hero in their position. FOTP outclasses all other damage dealer and its not even close. And Poe is far superior to any other Tank taunter. This was the same with Barris who outclassed every other healer before her nerf
At the moment, I believe poe is even stronger. I have both hero's and really hope they get nerfed. Poe with less speed or tenacity will still be very strong. Fotp needs in the neighborhood of 25% damage reduction to basic attack. At least that way he would need poggles buff to 1 hit anyone!
Exactly that's why they need a change or everyone will be running same team and what fun is that
Poe needs the turn meter reduction deleted.
There ya go
Basically what you want is for a dev to come say you are totally right let's have drinks and talk about how to fix them. But they don't do this, they will do what they see fit and it will be a surprise. So if you think a character is op, just don't invest in them.
In summary, these posts serve no purpose whatsoever.
This is totally unproductive. Those characters need an adjustment and everyone knows it. It's not a question of if they get adjusted its when.
Quit now and save yourself the time
They may fix bugs, if there are any but I doubt there will be any nerfs. But thx for the suggestion.
Now who is the cry baby
I dont have enough experience fighting Poe to make a full review of him, but so far he hasnt been an issue. I havent gone for him yet but may soon if hes not ruined by then lol
FOTP is so slowly farmable that anything loke resistance trooper got would make it unusable, for a char thatbwas incredibly slow to farm and required many mission resets (100 crystals) to not make it a 4 mo journey. 3x attack should be fixed...1 max 2, plus special. FOTP does heavy damage, but can't do anything else. If you stun him, he did nothing before passing away. Do not nerf pleae, just ensure he fires 1 max 2. Vs high level chars he rarely crits twice in a row and only makes 7k with regular, which tier 7* can handle.
Bye!
Everybody having the same chars would be a clear symptom of OP.
The balancing of the game is not a matter of p2p or f2p availability. It's a matter of a toon being clesrly superior tontheir peers and thus limiting diversity because it's needed to play with them to compete
Maybe I find some more toons I don't like to put some effort into counters ...
If they fixed his 3rd multi attack and swapped his modifier back to AGI at 7*, he'd have 3k less health which puts him in line with other glass cannons, would that be enough to quell the unrest?
I see comparisons to other damage dealers, but they also bring other things to the table like leadership abilities, crit increases, Ability Blocks, stuns, debuffs, AOE, etc. Is it fair to compare him to those with more in their toolkit?
Just curious since I see him being able to one shot medium to low health characters being a major downside from forum posts but he is slow and he should be able to take someone out since that is his only role. He gets no gear upgrades at 70 so his previous gear advantage is reduced though, only a handful of folks are even at the new cap and probably have a better perspective on that part.
Nobody seemed too bothered by FOTP until Poe/Phasma came along (some rumblings with Han early on) since folks did kill him first anyway if they saw him or am I missing something.
Did you invest resources time and credits to level them up? Did you painfully built your future team around those? How will you like if Lumi or Sid get nerfed, since most of us have them? I will feel the same if Poe if nerfed since I invested on him. I sacrificed getting Daka, my DS missions to get him.
Then, I will say nerf Doku(since I didnt buy Doku pack), nerf GS - I farmed Luke instead of him, the list will do on and on lol
