Darth Vader Buff

So yes the community had discussed that he needs a buff but really only so for his basic and not much for anything else.

Now where I agree everything else is pretty solid I do believe that a 5th skill is in order for Vader. One of the reasons I would believe he don't have one would be being a 1st generation toon when they only had 3-4 skills.

The buff I purpose

Add a unquie skill along the lines of the following.

True Power of the Dark Side
Vader Gains +5% Offense for each living rebel/jedi on the enemy team, upon Vader killing a rebel/Jedi reduce ability cool downs by 1.

I think that's a modest skill that fits without introducing something that causes problems but also fixes his hitting like a wet noodle with basic which would also help increase his aoe damage as well with force crush.
  • I agree - it seems odd that certain characters in the game have 5 abilities, and yet one of the most iconic heroes in the game has a weak basic attack and only 2 abilities, apart from his leadership ability.

    And that weaklings (in the movies) like Biggs Darklighter and Wedge Antilles are far more stronger than a SITH LORD is something that annoys me. FORCE CRUSH is super weak 2.5k-3k and Lando's AoE deals 15K plus a free cooldown, C'mon! Darth Vader is Star Wars, they are milking his face along ALL THE GAME (Even in the game's logo) and we have him THIS weak, we need a synergy with Palpatine, a new skill/attack and a buff in his bassic, dont change anything, just make him STRONGER PLEASE.

    His aoe has his uses other than just pure damage tho, the debuffs for culling are the main purpose and speed down and DOT is a bonus.

    But yes he does need a buff to a degree IMO, people can say he is good which he is but he is good as a SITUATIONAL toon only and dosent excel in many areas and team compositions like most toons do.

    Aka like every last rebel added to the game in last few months

    Give vader a 25% chance to counter. Vader counters with Culling Blade.


    That's an interesting thought! I agree he needs a bit more. The 5th ability as a Unique and improve his basic all are good adds to him. He should be one of the most used toons, whose going to fight Jedi Luke when he gets here?
  • Even though vader has gotten easier to star up with the recent changes, he is still the achievement toon that is a lot of tough grinding so deserves to be much better.
