Imagine applying all those thermal detonators on that glass cannon you're about to kill with your Zam Wesell...but WAIT there's more!They just got dispelled by their Kenobi/Rex/ChirrutNow you're scoundrel team is about to feel the wrath of the opponent's special attacks, and after all that, your boba fett is the only one left standing...Make thermal detonators a buff that cannot be dispelled ( similar to bounty hunter's resolve for boba.... it has a little lock on it )or rework the characters with thermal detonator abilities ( Nute can only use one every 5 turns and mob enforcer is a joke)When i envisioned a bounty hunter team, i figure they'd be viable in arena, able to compete with rebels and empire, but they are no where near viable, especially if you have thermal detonators as the primary way to inflict damage!Thoughts?

I could get behind making the detonators non dispellable.

An idea iv heard tossed around is to make a penalty for dispelling them like blowing up early for extra dmg when dispelled. That or non dispellable would be pretty sweet

Sounds like your Boba needs speed and potency mods. Ability lock and/or a stunner should work. Then just use basics for one round, eat the specials, and then throw the bombs. Rng can always make or break you, but boba is in 90% of arena teams I see from 200ish down to where I am at rank 80ish so he's definitely viable.Sith are easily ability locked, rebels need rng to win if you dont waste all your bombs before ackbar or whoever dispels. Maybe practice in cantina or gw to see the order you should approach them in?

As I mentioned in another thread instead of being non-dispellable make it punish those who cleanse, or remove the thermal deonator before the 2 turn timer.Make it deal say something like this on thermal skills.- Thermal detonators explode 2 turns after they are placed on any enemy, if the thermal detonator is removed in anyway before the timer expires deal an additional 25% damage

Hah, what will you do about Stun, Daze, and cooldown increase before you even make a move?Greedo and possible Zam will both be dead before they get to throw their TD's against the current Sith zMaul META.Also, TD's don't get dispelled, they get cleansed.That being said, it would be great if they were not able to be cleansed, especially with the new and improved beast Savage taking everyone's TD's away.

Make bounty hunters/scoundrels gr8 again

Point A: You're saying the sith are all faster than your entire team including Boba. I suggested speed/potency mods to get his aoe off and ability lock so you can't be dazed stunned etc. Throw in tenacity for the others, or speed. So... Thats what I'd do about. As I said in the post you clearly read as

Point B: of course a grammar nazi would prefer I use the word *cleanse*

If the sith are all faster and all stun lock your team, work in ability lockers stunners and speed mods, and rng will decide the winner. Thoughts on this?

That would be a cool idea... then there could be a new toon who specializes in defusing thermal detonators

I don't like the idea of non cleansable detonators or guaranteed damage if they are cleansed.

I like the idea of something like: Thermal detonators have a 25% chance to explode if cleansed with an additional 30% chance of critting.

Sometimes you can remove a bomb, sometimes futzing with it makes it blow early. But making people automatically pay to use a cleanse is too harsh with the Sith in power the way they are right now. Gamble on a cleanse.. sure.
