The thing is with Barriss, is she is the del facto healer... you won't find decent teams without her... Now I'm not saying she's OP, as she is cotton candy to me in Arena, and probably a lot of others who figured out how to take her out..
If anything most people who complain about Barriss is the result of running into an Arena or Galactic war match... Get close to taking someone out or Barriss out and somehow she gets her heal off restoring all of her health... One thing people tend to forget is Barriss's fourth ability makes her natural debuffer. So sometimes that healing immunity will get debuffed before she actually casts her heal. Thus the only true way to stop her healing is actually to stun or ability lock her if she is close to death and you know her heal is up. However there is only Old Ben who has a reliable 100% ability lock and only Cad Bane has a 100% chance on a stun if in either case the ability is not resisted.
The issue is the other healers don't compare, namely Jedi Consulor, Talia and Old Daka. Luminara is counted as an attacker and healing is more a secondary thing for her. The Ewok elder heals for so little he's not even a healer in my eyes, he's cannon fodder! So the real issue is the other healers need to be bought onto par with Barriss.. or closer to Barriss's healing ability...
Although this may create a big issue with Arena being full of 3 healer teams...
All in all the game is actually fairly balanced, but people won't see this til they start encountering more of the rarer characters like Obi Wan, Lando, Vadar, Anakin etc... but with the way the game is set up... this may be a long way off
The only power I feel is really OP is Obi-wan's mind trick.. This one ability can essentially turn the tide of any battle. Ability lock on all enemy characters, offense down for 2 turns, and 50% chance removes 50% of your turn meter.. And that is the base ability is not it ranked up
