I read the entire in depth comparison, and I disagree slightly, JC's main strength is being able to heal every 2-3 turns without having a buff that can be taken away. I do think he is slightly under powered, however this could easily be fixed by giving him something unique, such as giving his heal an added bonus of regenerating 10% protection. I honestly think that small tweak would give me pause as to weather I wanted to bring Luminara or JC into a group.
Thanks for reading.
IMHO, I think it is difficult for us to notice the difference of our subject by our sheer impression because our impression of that subject is based on consequences and when there are little or no suitable consequences for the subject of our impression, our impression for that subject can be vague. For example, if one can finish Galatic War with either Talia or Luminara, one may feel that Talia and Lumina are
comparable in healing, which is not exactly true, as lacking of a suitable consequence for a subject can lead to misperception of that subject. In this case, because healing abilities of Talia and that of Luminara work very differently thus involve different contingencies, there are little suitable consequence on which healing ability of Talia and that of Luminara may be compared apart from the only consequence more suitable than whether or not being able to complete Galatic War in a team of 5 would be mathematical data: Assuming health of low health ally and that of high health ally are 12k and 20k, Talia would heal between (40%*4-20%)*12k=16.8k and (40%*4-20%)*20k=28k,
22.4k in average while Luminara would heal between 60%*14k*5=42k in case of buff being dispelled (it is not often that all buffs will be dispelled immediately) and 80%*14k*5=56k in case of buff not being dispelled,
49k in average; as a result, Luminara heals
218.8% of that Talia does. So the real difference is more easily seen or more observable based on a more suitable consequence than the vague difference is based on a less suitable consequence.
In comparison of Consular and Luminara, Consular can heal as much as Luminara does but at the cost of losing an additional 25% of his own damage output from being 60% of Luminara's damage output down to being 45% of Luminara's damage output. In this case, the difference of damage output between Consular and Luminara is 40%-55%; however, in a team of 5, this difference of damage output will be mitigated into 8%-11%, thus we can barely notice the difference by comparing them based on the consequence of a team of 5 as we usually do rather than comparing them based on a more suitable consequence, which would be a duel or mathematical data. For instance, there may be only slight difference in effect for a team of 5 even if one of them doesn't do any damage at all especially when that one is not main damage dealer as the difference of damage output with one hero doing 100% less damage in a team of 5 would be 20% less damage at most for a team of 5.
In conclusion, we can hardly assess an individual hero correctly based on the consequence of a team of many rather than the more suitable consequence of that hero themselves.
