IG-88 needs a buff

I agree, my IG88 isn't as high geared or leveled as yours but he can get wasted very quickly by just a few attacks. I wanted him originally as an alt to Sid but I found the hard way he's nowhere near as good.

IG-88 can pump out OUTRAGEOUS amounts of damage on the right team. He SHOULD be squishy.

hellz no buff ig88 if you have a full droid team and imagine ig88 has 10-11k hp he would be a absolute nightmare

You need a taunter with IG88...

He doesn't need change, you need strategy...

The term "Glass Cannon: kind of implies "squishy".

I have a taunter. Have you ever faced a 88 and have any problems taking him down before he even gets to move? Can you say the same for Leia and pilot?

Elia and tie pilot don't have an insane AOE attack, IG88 can AOE crit a whole team for 7k.
If you fight an ig88 team with a poe I doubt you can take ig88 down before poe taunts.

He can be taken out easily with 2-3 AOE hits from the opposing team.

7k is pretty rare, but 5k certainly happens a good amount of the time. You really don't need much to go right. Once the Poe taunt goes off(will usually happen unless the other guy has a Poe), then everything will fall into place because the Sid AoE will pretty much always debuff a few people.

That was what I counted on when I rotated him into my team alongside Sid, Vader and Chewie. But what tends to happen most of the time is Chewie isn't fast enough, so if IG gets hit just once before the taunt goes up and gets hit by an AOE afterwards, he's toast(er). See what I did there?

So chances are he'll only get to use his AOE once, and bow out of the fight. Especially since if the opponent has Lumi on the team. If both Sid and IG used their AOEs, then there's no health block on their team. We're back to square one and likely missing one member.

Hardly seems worth it.

Sigh. Poe/poggle/Sid/ig86. Watch what happens.
