With massive damage hitting for 99999 I was wondering if there are any theories of tweaking that damage? The term "massive" was created a while ago, and in current toons, setup, health boosts etc, it doesn't seem to be the same "massive" as before. There are plenty of chars that, with their or other support toons, can easily reach over 100k prot/health and survive that damage.So toons setup progress, gear progresses towards more health/prot, 6* mods was introduced further increasing health/prot, now gear13 - but "massive" damage stays on the same level.Even assasination protocol deals more damage, and is not "massive".So any thoughts/plans for increasing that damage. It currently doesn't seem so big after all :(.

Imperial probe droid. Actually he interests me the most :). Yet I feel the term "massive" is just obsolete.Nhilus not so much. He just kills, not doing damage.

G13 will only exacerbate this problem. They need to up it to 199,999 or something.

Yes, increase it, good point @Sarbitar . IPD and savage are becoming less useful now. Savage can still find a place though since he only does it when characters are at least below 50%, so that’s 50% health already taken away that you needn’t worry about.

Should just make it 99,999 damage, doubled against non-raid bosses. Keeps raid effectiveness in check (since they just made it work in raids not too long ago), and keeps pace with power creep. Nothing worse than sacrificing probe droid only to see the enemy still standing after.

Massive damage not so massive anymore.

Probably won’t change until it affects a relevant character. This only affects savage and Nihilus (against raid bosses). Did I miss anyone?

That would just delay the problem. An universal solution would be dmg equal to max health + prot + any bonuses, ignoring any reductions.

So.... annihilate? I do agree that massive damage should be buffed, though.

They could be cheeky and make it RNG dependent...

Hey Holotable Heroes!

In light of the ever-present prot and health increase due to G12 finishers, we are going to allow "massive damage" abilities to become critical hits.

It should not do a fixed amount of damage otherwise they will have to increase it every time we have another gear lvl available (g13, g14, etc...)
It should be sone formula calculating something from a percentage or something.

If it still does same fixed amount of damage, imagine once we have gear 20 with everyone with 1 million health or something, then it will do like no hurt

Don’t ask for it to be based off %health. Then Malak, KRU, Kylo And any future such characters will be completely unphased by “massive damage” attacks
