Will Darth Nihilus Get A Nerf?
Not sure if DN is WAI or currently bug since all his skill bypass tenacity check. Meaning all his skill land 100% no matter what the opponent tenacity level is at. Is this address in the bug colum and how soon they plan to fix it?

I disagree. I've had his unique resisted plenty of times. And his cooldown increase isn't a negative status effect so it isn't affected by tenacity or potency.
Annihilate works on a cooldown.... (No revives with omega, can't be evaded or resisted) Works as intended
Dispel never involves tenacity.... It can be evaded though. So his basic also works as intended.
No bugs involved. He's got an amazing kit.
DN's kit works on different principles. It doesn't involve potency or tenacity at all.
I like it as it is now, so I hope it doesn't change
Me too I spent 2 months building a team around him. DN Lead is one team comp that I can beat triple team consistanly. If they ever change that then for sure Rex Tenacity up will make DN usless.
His kit is so good he can be use off the bat at 3* and his gear requirment is super easy too.
No.
It better change

Overpowered toons are a good way to make profits i guess, better nerf them afterward than balance them at launch...
Good read put if enough people complain they will nerf it with tenacity check.
Look at alll the bugs fix lately. From zader to chaze.
Right, and if ten up blocks nihilus drain force, you've take away 100% cd increase (against debuffed toons) and replaced it with 100% resist. How's that for balance! Come on man, don't get wrapped in the detail and forget the bigger picture... CG shouldn't be changing the game in such a way as to make Rex more powerful than one of the most powerful force users in the game, and render nihilus completely irrelevant.
Either change it to work like that or make it work like foresight were it nullifies one debuff and then goes away. Actually that might make an intersting new ability for a character to throw out one time debuff immunities like GK does foresight.
The should get rid of tenacity up guaranteed to resist turn meter reduction then
"Dispell on basic, unavoidable OHK ability, and delaying cooldowns is balanced"
He's not the only dispel in basic, and its only target affected, delaying cool downs is strong but not unavoidable, and unavoidable OHK is minimum 2 turns into a battle. Yeah, I'd say balanced.
They had to balance Chaze somehow. "Oh shoot, we made these rebels indestructible, you can't even kill them in 5 minutes and can't stack debuffs on them and they'll counter attack you."
"Oh hey what if we just give someone a OHK ability every 8 turns so if you last long enough the other team dies even if they're indestructible?"
"Genius!!"
But in all seriousness, looks like they're going to be balancing the new meta toons off of Chaze and Nihilus for a while. Don't think either of those are going to be nerfed, and if they were going to nerf something directly, they would've done it a while ago.
His basic when maxed can reduce the cooldown of drain force by 1 when you dispel a buff and having drain force at max gives it a cooldown of 3 after use.
That alone is OP within itself not taking into account that Drain Force doesn't go through a potency vs tenacity check which it should be.
Drain Force applies a negative status effect to a toon being a cooldown increase. A negativeness status effect isn't limited to a debuff, it's simply something that changes the status/state of someone or something which effects them in a negative way.
Debuffs
Tm Reduction
And yes cooldown increases
Just because it's new does not mean it shouldn't fall under that category.
I feel like I remember TMR used to not go through a Potency/Tenacity check way back when, but I could be wrong.
Correct it didn't go through a potency/tenacity check till they fixed that issue and now it does because it's considered a negative status effect
