Resistance healer in the future?

I have seen real potential for the resistance class but sadly they suffer from one vital flaw - lack of a healer. Most classes have at least one character designated for such a task some directly some indirectly (nihilius, shoretrooper, wedge to name a few) but much like first order this class of characters seem to only specialize in dealing fast and heavy damage. Will we be expecting any healers for this group any time in the future?

    Probably Rose. Assuming they make her a playable character.

    Just protection, actually.

    Exactly, just protection which leaves the new Rey combos very susceptible to talzins plague. They need a healer.

    Somebody wants to hold off Nightsisters and have a dominant / OP team all to their own :)

    Why would you need a healer when you can have the immortal General Leia "Mary Poppins" Organa?

    Haha general poppins, unique: when defeated, flies back into battle at 100% health but is stunned in a coma for 2 turns (cannot be dispelled)

    If you have a zeta Finn Talzen shouldn’t ever get a turn

    I've been running a resistance squad for a while (Zinn, Poe, RT, zBB8 and zzR2) and I have never felt that I need a healer...as long as they have speed and the exposes hit and R2/Finn get some of their stuns in...then the other squad does not get a turn.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there is a resistance Healer coming to the game. It will probably be 3 months until they are free to farm though.

    Only when you're defending, and defending is already bad enough for Resistance that Han's no big deal. Moreover, other than Barriss Offee back when zetas first came out and people were relearning the ropes, have you ever looked at a team while you were attacking and said, "Well, they've got Luminara, so maybe I'll go find someone else..." Nah, man, healers are bully fodder on defense.

    On offense you can deal with a random character getting stunned, even if it's Poe, by landing even one expose. Daze is the only thing you really need to fear, and Han can't do that yet.

    Resistance doesn't need a healer and it doesn't really fit thematically. The Resistance is small and can't really afford to take hits, so their style of warfare is based on quick assaults. That translates in game as being reliant on exploiting Exposes, then falling apart and folding if something goes wrong.

    It’s not that easy. Talzin is much faster than any resistance character that exposes. She is going to get her plague off unless severely outmodded. Daka and Ventress are going to go before them as well. And you’ve got a zombie taunt to get around. You’ve got to mess with stun and expose RNG. It can absolutely go south in a hurry for a Finn lead resistance squad.

    zHan is not an issue...and besides, zHan makes bad decisions when controlled by the AI :wink::smiley::smile:

    This is true. On defense resistance is not always that great...especially if the attacker knows to stun Poe before he taunts. Resistance relies on speed, if you can get your hands on good speed mods (with insane secondaries) then you will have a lot of fun. They can auto GW, massive damage in HAAT and viable in arena...and they are fun.

    He's an issue when you're on defense. That's all I'm saying. zFinn teams are super easy to beat and I always attack them whenever I see them.

    There are a lot of potential resistance healers that are still not in the game: Old Leia, Rose, Amilyn Holdo, Resistance Ackbar (in case you didn't notice, he's perfectly alive and well in TFA and TLJ), 3PO and even Maz Kanata (she would surely be a scoundrel, but I think she would get the Resistance tag too), which is also force sensitive.

    Old Leia would be something,haha... 3PO has been shining in his absence as well (not sure if there is a reason, but I always thought it strange that he has not been added to the game yet)
