Asaj really needs to be fixed
Her dispel/heal is way too OP in the hands of the computer. What I mean, is with the bonus the comp seems to get in applying/removing debuffs, it's over kill. I had a solid win condition, only to have Asaj remove poggle buff from all 5 of my toons, and take the entire enemy team to full. Full dispell happens too often, and the bug of the heal applying to the whole team is nonsense. If it's intended, at least update the tooltip, though that still wouldn't be satisfactory with how things stand.
If you haven't encountered a defensive team with her, ren, obi wan, and any other two toons, you're fortunate to have avoided that stab yourself in the eye kind of agony.

But yes the dispel usually does nothing and is just a waste of a turn. The other bug with it seems to be the description says it is a self heal, when actually it is a party heal.
I also see this as a wasted turn, what part is exactly OP about this? If it took all buffs down 100% guarenteed it's a different story but since I play her a lot, it seems rather useless to use the skill.
It's in the hands of the AI that's the problem.
I'm not Uber pvp, but I'm in the 100-200 range generally, sometimes next bracket up, sometimes down. I say this only to qualify my statements as maybe it's different up higher or down lower. Much how when obi Wan is on defense and his debuff nearly always lands on your entire team, so too does asajjs dispell tend to remove nearly everything positive on your team, WHEN the AI is playing her. This makes it a mega heal, for the whole team, and you lose your buff, nearly 100% of the time. I'm talking a 6-8k heal and buff removal, in one. That's absurd. I don't know how anyone couldn't see anything wrong with it. Couple it with 4-6k AoE that nearly always grabs at least one charcater, thus resetting her two big cds, and she's no joke in the hands of the AI.
I agree, when I use her, she's worthless. Removal nearly never works, and her AoE hits lime a wet paper towel. But it's not comparable to when the AI is playing her. At least not in the 100-200 bracket with level 7 gear.
Hope they fix it without making her worse for when we play her!
Both Talia and Assaj are the only two chars listed on the known bugs so hopefully they will be fixed Soon™.
Point is many toons have abilities in AI that seem OP. Instead of complaining and getting them lessened because you are upset you do not have them or can't find a way to win, which is silly as I've faced Ventress Defense teams and walked through them, develop a strategy to overcome them. That is, afterall, part of the fun in this game. The development of battle and team strategy to overcome opponents. Ventress is far from OP, Barriss was not OP either. Dooku is not OP either. No player here really is. They have their strengths and weaknesses.
Take Dooku. He counters, well use a tougher, harder hitting toon that counters also. I hit him with Secura. She usually takes 33% of him down, counters his counter and often calls in support. When that happens 9 times in 10 it is RIP Dooku, on to next victim. Sorry I like Ventress right now on my team so I'm not going to post the easy way to deal with her.
...I am complaining, yes, but it's a legit bug that I'm complaining about. Whereas you told me not to complain then went on your own rant about dooku.
That being said, I'm not a huge dooku fan, but he's not bugged. That's the difference between yours and my "op" complaints; I want a known issue fixed, you don't want the pack you burned money on going to waste.
Whiskey means how AI handles Assaj, not a global make her less strong arguement
Also, I'm pretty sure counters don't counter counter attacks (at least not for me). That above-listed strategy is absurd. Best idea to counter cards like Dooku is to stun him and then pound him while he can't counter.
Asajj doesn't deserve a nerf. Far from it.
That's what I make of it since OP states that if he is playing her himself, she sucks. I can confirm this because I usually take 1 buff off if Im lucky (taunt one). She doesn't take defense off and rarely the dodge buff. Assaj now, Asohka after and the whole Bariss pack got nerfed this way, don't think that's the plan ^^
AI needs to lose some of that high % based stuff, any global nerf won't make the problem go away.
What exactly does Asajj's heal/dispel ability do? Only one of my Allies has her so I'm not entirely sure, it can't be the description listed in the game. She seems to heal her team members and I swear I've seen her heal without dispelling.
Anyway, I don't think she is OP at all. The ability, whatever it does, is totally situational. In PvP I usually just ignore her till the end. My squad doesn't really use buffs for her to dispell so she's not an issue.
There also seems to be a huge difference in the damage she does as an AI vs as my character. I'm a bit fuzzier on this point though as I benched her in the mid fourties as I realized how useless she was.
In the other way, a high attack buffed team is the strongest team right now and we have only asajj skill, which is really unreliable, to counter this. If i use a buff team asajj wouldn't be a problem at all.
Talking about AI toon fix, i think old ben, leia and dooku are the broken toons that need very harsh and quick fixed.
