Yes do this .. i want to see how you will beat a barris oder someone with this low dmg output.. this negative buff for the my team is to heavy - very unbalanced...

What level are you playing at? I never have had major issues with him as his debuff gets a lot of resists typically across the team. I have a 5 star obi and ran into the same resist frustrations when on the offense.

Im LVL 50 atm.. i dont have a ressist against lower attack dmg.. this is nearly 50% or more less dmg.. to unbalanced simple as it is

Please please please....fight a toon for a while and take the time to look at the roster, acquire toons that counter it, and then if once you've done that if it's still OP, then make a post. There's no way after 3 weeks you've faced Ben, analyzed his weaknesses or the team's weaknesses, then went and built a counter for him that was strong, and then tested that counter. This game has a lot of toons that do really different things. There are leaders that have tenacity to allies in their description - Luke is one. That skill blocks neg effects. There are toons that dispel negative effects - Ackbar. There are also toons that block specials - Lumi, Vader, Dooku is great vs. Ben...I would say yes Ben is one of the tougher toons to deal with, especially with the small number of toons most have after 3 weeks, but once you start to get a flow to him and Barris / other healer combos and have the toons to ability block or some other tactic in place, he's manageable. I prefer to ability block / Dooku stun him. Chip away at whatever my kill target is, and then when he's stunned and Barriss turn meter is low, go for the kill on that target unit. Then do that same task on the next target, which becomes easier and quicker as you are now 5 vs. 4. Please everyone stop saying stuff is OP. This is just going to keep happening as you run in to different challenges that your current roster may not be able to handle. I was waiting for the Ben posts because unlike Dooku and Barriss, he's a legit big time threat. The roster and approach needed for Ben is much greater than Dooku or Barriss. I no longer think he's OP though. When I first faced him I did, but as you see the flow of the battles and learn when to place an ability block or stun and build toons that can execute this approach he's no longer scary. Once ability blocked, Ben is pretty useless - as are many of the Jedi - they are just low damage dealing tanks. HK 47 is another great toon that is farmable with anti-Jedi powers. His special can wreck a Ben / Healer build pretty good. So instead of coming to rant on the forums about every new toon that people encouner, how about step back, analyze the toon, look at what other toons on the roster can do, and start to put together a gameplan for how to defeat it. All the nerf calls on this forum are ridiculous. This game is well balanced across the overall roster.

Not calling for a nerf specifically, but there ARE some characters that are WAY overpowered compared to others.. and Old Ben is one of them. He's not properly balanced in that his special ability is too strong and too frequent, he has another (ridiculous) one when killed, and also has as many HP as a tank.Basically, everyone lucky enough to get the guy puts him in their team. That's a sign of imbalance.

Obi-Wan needs NERF urgently... otherwise Game is broken

I just fought a Phasma and Old Ben team. Someone will have to explain how it is beatable if they both get off their AOE. The damage down plus the mass slow means any chat affected is next to useless for 2 turns.

The team I faced was 3k power less but it doesn't matter since they basically halve my power for ~3 turns if the fire off.

Bring Lobot or another toon that can clear negative effects from allies.

I guess. No other real counter. He has Sid and two other attackers (no need for healers with that much speed loss). I can't imagine what a team like that with Vader and maul/boba as the attackers would do.

It super strong add Jin as lead so Ben gets mind trick off and it hilarious fast matches.

I'm not sure how this performs on defense since the AI Is still bad

Fix that ***

Get ewok elder and use his heal spell. Boom all negative effects are gone or Asaj or arkbar. Etc

Johnny for post hall of fame.
I'll agree with anyone that certain characters are powerful and difficult to beat at times.
But after some analysis and adjustments, Ben, Sid, Barris,Vader, and Maul teams stopped being so formidable, even vs. those at higher levels with purple gear, encounter every day in GW.
I'm hopeful with EA_Jesse post in another thread that Barriss actual heal ability will be adjusted up a little, an 80+% reduction to base was extreme, she wasn't that difficult to beat before the nerf to require that big of an adjustment.

At level 20 I thought Dooku was OP. I lost a few matches because of this, but I pulled through.

At level 30 I thought Bariss was OP. I lost a few matches but I pulled through.

At level 40 I though Sidious was OP. Etc

Get it? It's a temporary issue. Now Dooku is easy to kill. Bariss (before she got nerfed unnecessarily) was also easy to deal with. Right now Sidious is difficult, if he has a solid team around him and gets a lucky crit to take out a healer then I'm toast. But I'll figure out how to defeat him and then we'll all move onto the next 'OP' character.

Each hero has different strengths and weaknesses. You have to realise that for you, personally, a certain hero may be difficult.

Is Sidious the strongest hero in the game now? Probably. But I still beat him 80% of the time.

No more massive nerfs.

Anyone that removes negative affects. Lonot, ewok elder etc.
