they really need to buff bossk massively in bf2 if you agree with me tell me some things you guys would like to see get improved with bossk I already know what I want him to be improved in but what do you guys think? bossk was the best hero in bf1 but they nerfed him way too much in bf2 and they need to bring him back up like seriously he is my main hero my favorite hero in all of battlefront and my favorite character in Star Wars and as a very skilled player using bossk maybe the best but definitely one of the best I really think he should be buffed.

@soapy_catusesExactly. I can cover like75% of my team's effort to defend the dreadnought in CS by just using Bossk's grenade with that longer effect and occasional middle ability and mine use.Often the enemy won't step out oft the gas cloud because they probably assume that the effect will wear off before killing them. Bonus kills for me then.The enemy usually won't get any close to our reactor core if the rest of my team defends well too.Then there are these second enemy attempts to attack our reactor cores after another the next unsuccessful ground phase where we usually lose very quickly because some team mates think it's a good idea to block the hero slots with Grievous and Dooku while like half the other team mates are just trying to spawnkill the attackers.Due to the little time it takes for the enemy to destroy the cores in that scenario, it's usually too late for me to make a difference by spawning as Bossk.Happened more than once that I spawned as Bossk and after running 5 m the defeat screen would show up.

@Elboss030Uhm, Bossk is one of the heroes that need a buff the least. Unless it's Anakin, saber heroes have no great chances to win against Bossk when paying halfway attention.Bossk's strength lies in his gadgets as well as his high jumps, use them wisely and with a plan.For infantry modes, just stick a bit with your team, like when playing any other hero and retreat early enough to cover before you find yourself cornered with no abilites ready to use.Also proceed step by step, means e.g. at the frontline near objectives or while defending them, place the mines in case someone wants to get close to you and then use the dioxys and grenade launcher to push forward. If that wouldn't work, retreat back to your mines. If the team mates nearby you die, don't stay there alone as only one defending/attacking or else you risk getting cut off the line and being encircled.Sometimes it's also good to not spend all your abilities at once and keep at least one as backup to make sure you can defend yourself properly or simply to slow the enemies attempts to hunt you down upon retreat.Similar for HvH, stick with your team where possible but don't go too far away from your mines.If a saber hero approaches you, try to read him out and roll so you don't get caught by his abilities. When there's enough space, use jumps into the direction where the saber hero charges from so you can jump over him while he has to do a 180 degree turn.For blaster heroes, bait them into walking into your mines by e.g. a tactical retreat that makes them overconfident.I mean there's a reason why I can use Bossk so well even against the hero crowd, so I'd say he doesn't need a buff.

@TRlALON Ligering dioxis is the most underrated card. It is a kill instead of 140 dmg if u stand long enough in the cloud. Love that card

@RogueZeroRendar"Weak"That one extra strike or several blaster dmg points is a literal life saver in closely matched encounters for me, the remaining HP bar doesn't lie.What exactly do you want here, a 40 or 50% dmg reduction? For Bossk who's very far from underpowered already even without any form of dmg resistance?Seriously, you can't just put this up against chewies max dmg resistance over time out of context, the hero abilities and possibilities of the general hero design matter too.What's so great about Anakin's high dmg resistance moments apart from pinning yourself down at one spot to invite everyone to shoot at you? For Anakin that's essential or else it'd pretty much ruin these base abilities. Same for Obi-Wan while pushing, no one would have a good feeling about that ability if it hadn't some kind of dmg resistance.Also you can't base this entirely around lightsaber opponents, blaster heroes exist too and won't just stand there and let themselves be killed like that and as they usually have a the advantage of the higher fire rate and often not crappy aim, some kind of defensive upgrade is never a bad thing here either.Dioxys regen alone won't buy you enough time, you better force a fast victory over them or you might be dead before the dioxys duration card even enhances that regen effect.Not that saber heroes are less forgiving.Why not use dmg resistance and hp regeneration together, if you prefer to stand in your own gas?If not, I use the duration card to throw the grenade into the battle scene as team support and to mark hidden opponents which both can in turn sometimes prevent unwanted encounters or help to predict them.Up to preference and map/team layout, though I usually use the grenade objective oriented and therefore waive that hp regen card. Yes, even in HvH.What's the deal about your mines? It all comes down to awareness of your environment.Placing mines beforehand and sticking halfway with your team helps. Also moving intelligently around your team so you're not the primary target all the time.Pulling or pushing saber users have to be countered with rolling at all ranges, no matter how fast your mines fuse somewhere if you get ragdolled around or whether Anakin decides to open the combat with magnet or use it mid-combat.Same for fighting against Bossk, don't be so predictable with abilities.As Rey use stealth and watch when the campy Bossk walks a bit off from his safe space and then surprise, restricted to close range but less obvious than Anakin.Don't act like it's mission impossible man."But no good Bossk that I've ever seen was using the Predatory Instincts DR card in HvV."Seems like I'm not real and from a parallel universe or something. smh

@RogueZeroRendarThe dmg reduction card is always a good choice, because no matter if it's HvH or large modes, people want to shoot at you while Bossk has a low rate of fire.Also how is 20% dmg reduction a low value? Keep in mind that Bossk doesn't get health on kill so increasing his survivability in any way is good.Rolling increases dmg resistance to 36%, just as a side fact.Also the extra mines card is key, either it causes extra compiled damage on chokepoints to all targets or covers a broader area elsewhere, so this is a no-brainer too.The mine fuse timer is comparably not that big of a deal imo, even in HvH I never use it at all. Bossk can dance around with rolls and high jumps quite well, so I rather want to use different cards.Lingering dioxys is good for playing defensively and/or blocking objectives.Dioxys HP regeneration card is only really good for me maybe on greater modes with very open maps because there is no safe redzone like in GA where you could retreat when enemies are chasing you. Nonetheless I usually don't use it either way because I found the HP regeneration to be too weak while it takes away an otherwise good gadget if you then start using it to regnerate your own HP often. I mean I prefer to rather use the grenade on enemy clusters and objectives than just standing in it myself.

🤣🤣 you must be joking no he needs a buff at least his blaster bc he will get clapped with a lightsaber hero im telling you before lightsaber heroes were not a problem now they are and this is coming from a very skilled bossk player so yeah bc once bossk abilities run out he's just a sitting duck bc his blaster cant do anything but snipe if a lightsaber hero comes at him and bossk has no abilities ready and its just his blaster you either run or you die like im serious if he gets nerfed he will simply be unplayable

nah you got it twisted extra mines gives significant damage boost and the damage reduction may I remind you bossk starts off with 600 hp and when your using predetor instincts your most likely fighting a group of people who will be shooting back at you so with that damage reduction it helps a lot so you can stay and clear rooms with predator instincts on for longer with damage reduction and name your poison is useful bc bossk health region is super slow so name your poison makes it faster which is useful

and also thats why im saying bossk needs a buff mostly on his relay v10 bc of its slow rate of fire bc when a lightsaber hero is running at you or in your face and you dont have your abilities ready you need something that can help you in the meantime until your abilities are ready and thats why im saying a faster rate of fire for his relay would be good so if someone is coming towards him he can start shooting the hero taking more damage and get them low so they run then when your abilities are ready then your set bc if a lightsaber hero comes at you and you have literally a sniper rifle that takes low damage when not charged and slow fire rate your done it takes like 50 hp and slow rate of fire like cmon thats nothing so a higher rate of fire for the relby like it was back in Battlefront 2015 would be good so bossk wont be so defenseless without his abilities

also if a lightsaber hero was coming at you would you rather have a sniper or a rifle(assault class weapon) bc bossk has a sniper good for long range not close but a higher rate of fire would then make him actually stand a chance against lightsaber heroes without his abilities.
