Phasma triggering extra attacks on specials is what made her useful as a leader. Now Sidious will be a better leader option in every circumstance. Would not have wasted the GW crystals if I had known this was coming. The rest of it seems pretty good.

Seriously? Her attacks on specials, which aren't even part of her description, are what made her useful? Not the AOE + speed down, or the team speed up + advantage? Also, not the extra attacks on ATTACKS?

let's read the description: "Whenever an ally attacks, they have a 18% chance to call a random ally to Assist, dealing 15% less damage. This chance is doubled if the attacking ally is First Order."

Ally attacks... when she uses Victory March, how is that an attack?

You didn't waste any GW crystals. She is still great and falls in line now with her description (and original intent), much like Asajj.

She's now a mediocre support dps with less net leader damage than Sidious, who will also require Poe on the team for her specials to get down quickly enough to be meaningful. Like Asajj, her error is what made her stand out. I'll of course test her before I throw her away, but I feel running Poggle-Poe-Droid is now the better option than my Phasma AoE team. It was Poe's turn meter that was making Phasma overpowered. She needed no adjustment, Poe's taunt did.

Look at your team and determine how many of them have non attack moves. If you are running a typical FO setup, you probably don't have any other characters that have non attack moves. Maybe Daka's revive/heal.

Now, let's say you have both of those. 1 in 3 games your Captain would call in an ally, and 1 in 5 or 6 games, it would call in an ally on Daka. So, you are considering captain wasted because of a 1/3 and 1/6 chance to use her abilities? That seems like an overreaction.

The only FO toon without non attack moves is Tie Pilot.

Kylo doesn't. You probably aren't running storm trooper either...and maybe not even tie pilot if you haven't spend some money farming/buying packs. So I am assuming that the individual isn't using a full FO team, but without them telling me their team I can only guess.

I have the entire first order team, so seek first to understand then to be understood ya? What is going to suck is that every other team is going to have speedier toons, heals taunts and debuffs whereas this team has none of that. So nerfing Phasmas leader ability really hurts the team.

I was referring to the person I was talking to originally, @mr_eel. You only recently came into the picture.

I have no idea what that person's team was like, I was assuming not all FO.

Also, if you are running all FO and using all their Non-attacks, you deserve to lose. You need to be able to actually attack the opponent to win, and now that her ability was FIXED, it will be even more important to be attacking.

Lastly, look at my math above. Only 1 in 3 uses of a non-attacking ability from an FO character would cause an attack. This attack did less damage. If this is what you were relying on to win, then I can't help but think your team needs to be stronger or you need to change your approach.
