Does Asajj Ventress Need to be Fixed (Renamed)

Massive potential...poor execution. She needs tweaking. Similar to how they fixed Ashoka, make her viable, please.

Viable?

What do you mean, "viable"?

Because I **love** Ventress on offense, when I'm playing her. It's not so much her ability set (though that does need a tweak) as her AI, which is just terrible. The AI has no idea how to use her abilities. It doesn't save the AoE for a moment when one opponent is weak or for after she gets her rampage boost. She'll go for the debuff/heal when Phasma is on the other side and hasn't given the whole team advantage yet, just because ONE toon (Lumi) got Evasion Up off her basic.

Her AI makes amazingly poor decisions. It neither saves the debuff/heal for healing, nor does it use it mainly as a tool to weaken the entire opposing squad. If it has a little bit of debuffing possible, it somehow thinks it should just go ahead because even if the debuff isn't worth it, there's also the healing: but she's at full Health half the time she does this. It's ridiculous.

Nonetheless, when I can get Ventress through the first round or two, she cranks up into a very powerful gear and lays some serious hurt on the other side.

yes, she starts slow.

No, she is not less than "viable" except when played by the AI.

Yes please.
If a girl with a stick (yes Rey) can be made so OP.
A highly skilled Sith dual wielding sabers should be decent.

Asajj at this time (who is my fav toon) is more of a show piece.
Make her awesome please.

Well good news is that they will be checking these forums for suggested character fixes. So now is the time, hopefully.

Ahhhh, finally devs have addressed the issue with Assaj!

"Asajj Ventress no longer receives the buff from her Rampage ability when the door panel is defeated in the Rancor Raid."

Oh, wait for it....no, they managed to nerf it again ;)

Asajj is a complete mess now. That nerf on the door is just rather un-needed at this point. She needs a significant buff in a few areas to be usable.

Speed buff up to the low 120s

Potency buff up to 100% or so

Health buff up to 15K or so

Her speed is crippling, even leader isn't enough to make her proactive enough to matter. Potency is ABSOLUTELY necessary on AOE dispel, she doesn't have enough to cut through tenacious tanks. Health is so low for a support, it almost makes her life steal irrelevant with protection.

She at least needs her heal all allies back. Her speed is reasonable when she's leader and she speeds up Daka nicely.

Especially when her AI still thinks she can heal others with her dispel! It's absurd how bad she is in arena.

But, counterpoint. 110 or so speed should not be the result of using a speed leader. Using a speed leader should make your team have great to excellent speed, not 'still bad, just not outrageously bad' speed.

What's funny is they had time to quickly fix a bug that benefits her, but will not fix a bug that kills her viability.

The main gripe i have with her right now is her dispel. I didn't read the entire post, so i don't know if this has been said or not, and i'm sorry if I'm copying another players statement, but why in the bloody hell, does the ai count it as an attack? If i use her dispel to take offense up off a Dooku lead team, not only can they resist the effect, but it counts as a dodge? So characters that didn't originally have offense up, suddenly get it. It baffles me, because it is not an attack. I think it's only fair to have it resisted, but dodged too?
