I agree with all you said and more, Bounty Hunters for main missions? IPD requiring zeta and g9 or g10-11 with no zeta?
I am just sad that soon this will be filled with negative comments trying to make excuses for for TB.
I agree with you tho, these random rebels are GODS. It's not even funny. They taunt, cleanse, heal, recover protection, gain TM. They crit for 25k on basic. They have defense up, health up, basically almost every buff that exists, while able to counter attack with daze on basic, they can stun, they can ability block.
I mean there ain't a thing they can't do while being able to tank Vader's culling blade with 6 dots and a bunch of other debuffs, like it didn't even happen. Yeah it's annoying, wave 4 is stupid hard. And you probably had to use ur TFP, RG and ST on platoons right before. But even if you didn't, they still won't make huge difference.
I have g12 Thrawn, g12 Tarkin, g11 Palpatine, g11 Vader, V11 TFP and still got creamed in phase 4 lol.
