I have Barris at gear 10 7* fully maxed out and I was always hoping that she would get better but she is horrible. Her hits are more like love taps and the healing is okay but after all the mods are implemented she is utterly useless. She needs a serious buff!

Well, I think she's good for what she does. She's not meant to hit hard. She's got a large health pool and can take quite a beating, with a nice heal that heals through heal immunity and has some great Jedi synergy. If you want a healer that can also deal a decent amount of damage, you got for Lumi instead.

True as an early character she has a purpose but when you get to higher levels she doesn't play much of a role.

Barris is much more useful now with the rise of tanks. She was useless in the era of the glass cannon, but that is slowly coming to an end.

She's not an early character either and that's still a bad excuse for her being poor. She sucks at damage, she sucks at support, what reason should I use her for in arena? Hell I don't need her for gw either she just slows it down. John Salera said he wanted every toon to be able to be used in the game... or well someone told me that's what he said lmao. I want that too. Barris needs a stun, or a status effect, or another support move. She needs something, cause right now she sucks. https://swgoh.gg/characters/barriss-offee/She really isn't as awful as you're making her out to be. Yes, she's not a top tier character but she's still great if what you want from her is what she caters to. -Her basic attack has a chance to heal allies for 6% of her health. If maxed out, that's 1,472 health regen per attack.-With 24,539 health, 244 armor and 21,148 protection, she's incredibly hard to kill and will stick around.-Her special will heal through heal immunities, and gives her defence up, making it even harder to remove her (also meaning when AI is using her, them trying to heal through healing immunities won't be a problem)-Her leader ability is half decent, especially when running a Jedi team. 20% more health and then healing per turn. If Barris is maxed out, that's 1963 health regen per turn.-Her unique has a chance to dispel negatives off each of her Jedi allies and then gain 9% TM per negative removed. That allows her to dispel negatives and then push out more moves, therefore pushing out more heals and more chances to dispel negatives.Now, if you ask me, she's pretty awesome if that's the sort of stuff you're looking for. Yes, she doesn't hit hard, but she's not there for that.

Theres also bugs with her, her healing dosent always override immunity like its supposed to
The other bug is when she heals (seen this in daka a few times) she loses a chunck of health even if she still has prot bar

I have never seen it not override immunity, but ok. Her healing can actually cost her and other high health toons some life because of the %based balancing she does before the heal.

What do you mean by this? She is supposed to lose health.

She needs to hit harder. Around 5k should be enough. But 2500 points per hit is useless.

So should b2 and nebbit. But then the nerf bats would be out in full force.

Barris is fine as is.

Three of the aliens seen on Jabba’s barge in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi are named Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto.

What does that have to do with anything?

Hitting for 2500 points is terrible. No one would ever use her in the arena or the raids.

I can't find any reason to use Barris ever. Back in the day she carried me through GW. Now I just load DPS toons with turn meter. The more damage dealers, the better.

Same in arena. You might occasionally see a Lumi due to her insanely powerful heal, ability block, and OK damage. Daka too, but mainly for stun, and Rez. One guy at the top of my shard uses Ewok Elder, but again for Rez, and turn meter boosting. Heal is just an afterthought.

Protection has mostly killed off healers. You may do OK with them on your arena team against stupid AI that sprays damage, but your team defending with Barriss is effortlessly getting murdered when they defend. As a class they are dead weight unless they do multiple things. Barriss does only one thing, and is just OK at it.

She is a star in GW. Able to keep a solid team alive long term.

Sure in arena she doesn't get you far but she could manage to carry a HP team for 5:00 minutes with the right team.

She will also carry you through rough hard LS missions and cantina.

The original posted could not possibly be more wrong.
