buff bossk

@TRlALON  The damage reduction is extremely weak. Compare it to any other. Rare are the useful Hero DRs that are below 40. Getting an extra 20% DR (for a total of 36%) for 1 second by rolling isn't going to help that much either. It's also only in effect while you're using Predatory Instincts, which doesn't last long, especially if you're firing with it, and the cooldown for that ability isn't a fast one. Again, as I said, that may be useful for large modes (especially because you can increase Predatory Instincts duration indefinitely by using the card that does that), but it's definitely a no go for HvV.

And from now on I'll focus in HvV. I have 2500 hours in this game, of which not even 5% I must've spent in large modes, but certainly more then 50% I've spent in HvV. So all I can say about larger modes is totally opinion based, and not based in any meaningful personal experience.

20% DR in HvV is laughable, far from useless, but laughable nonetheless. With full health it'll allow you to survive one extra saber swing (2 from non Insight Rey), and as I said you won't have it active most of the time anyway. Luke's 15% DR is even more laughable, however it can be paired with his extra Rush card (which overall increases the DR's active time), and the DR itself stays in effect for a few seconds after using the skill, which allows Luke to sustain these 15% for long, unlike Bossk, making it far more useful then Bossk's. Now compare that to any other characters that are known for taking advantage of DR: Vader, Chewie, Grievous, Ani, Obi, Finn, all of them can easily go over the 40% mark, and many have other traits or cards that enhance that effect even more. Bossk has the slowest regen rate and slowest regen delay of the hero Roster, that's really bad and almost kills his advantage of being able to regen his full health (in large modes retreating and healing is far easier then in HvV), so getting it slowed down by 20% doesn't help much (OTOH Luke has the fastest regen delay and rate, and together with his ease to sustain the 15% DR for long makes his DR card far more useful then Bossk's, even though the value is too low and is even lower then Bossk's).

About the mines, I initially thought like that, until I started facing good Bossks that prioritized the arming speed instead of more mines (some use both, which is very deadly). And now it's very clear how much more useful the arming speed is, because it means you WILL hit a chasing saber with almost certainty if he's swinging at you and you're doing that hopping Bossk technique to try to survive. If you don't use the arming speed, most sabers can see you deploying the mines, move away before any of them explode (even when it's 5 traps), and then either pull or push you out of the area where they are (and you know who's the only LS saber who can't do that? Yep, it's Rey, which adds to my list of reasons why Rey sucks). What's the use of 5 mines if your worst matchups can totally avoid them? The arming speed fixes that.

And that brings us to the Dioxis. IMO Name Your Poision for the HP regeneration is only good if you use Lingering Dioxis. It's useful without it, but as @soapy_catuses pointed out, Lingering Dioxis increases the duration by a LOT, so that enhances the regeneration effect tremendously. And as I'm focusing in HvV here, the Dioxis is much more useful when tossed at your feet there because of the chasing sabers, so why not use Name Your Poison? Unless a better card is available, but I see good Bossks using Lingering Dioxis + Dioxis Regen + Trap Arm Speed a lot, sometimes swapping Dioxis Regen for Multi Traps. I'd say both builds are very common. But no good Bossk that I've ever seen was using the Predatory Instincts DR card in HvV, it's a waste of a card there.
