Dark side should not get a "cleanser"

I have been reading a lot of comments about dark side needed someone to remove debuff/ a "cleanser". My opinion is that I don't think this would be necessary or good. You have two factions that are somewhat unique and there is no reason to change that.

Dark Side - applies lots of debuffs to enemy, can remove buffs from enemy

Light side - applies lots of buffs to self, can remove enemy debuffs from self

I know there are some characters that break this pattern, but it is generally true. I think the real issue is that the dark side actions require a potency/tenacity check and the light side actions do not.

Perhaps a better solution would be to change cleansing so that it was not a 100% automatic and instant removal of all debuffs. There was a potency/tenacity check to put each debuff on, so there should also be a potency/tenacity check to take each debuff off. If the cleansing was not so overpowered, then dark side would not need a cleanser to keep the balance.

    How about the devs change their notion that the empire be balanced into actually instilling fear throughout the galaxy as the original empire did? Then all of the OP rebels would just be... I dunno... feasible hero's waging war against white walkers.

    B2's "mow Down" is in theory the inverse of Rex's "squad discipline".

    In practice it can be dodged, deflected, blocked by foresight etc...
    Then if it strips buffs, it rolls to see if Buff immunity is applied.

    Squad Discipline is an automatic 100% cleanse all and add debuff immunity.

    Not balanced



    B2 would get REKT by cls and his 100% counter I mean 50%.
