We need a toon with passive heal block.

Okay so there are a few toons that are making arena a mess right now.

Chaze, Zylo, Zarris and zavage. The AI just doesn't have any clue how to handle them. They all have one thing in common. They heal heal heal heal and the AI doesn't know how to target them. We need a toon with a unique similar to DN but with heal block instead of health down. It would probably look good on mother talzin. This would help the AI win a little more on defense vs these toons. They should find a way to start shortening the battles a little again.

    You have to be active to maintain arena position day to day. WAI.

    You have to spend crystals to refresh to move up after the bad AI lost 12 times on defense against teams you crush on offense. WAI.

    You have to spend crystals to snipe and lock out. WAI.

    TL;DR Offense uses crystals that wouldn't be needed if teams could hold on defense. WAI.


    But some teams are better than others at defending and the meta naturally gravitates towards those.

    This is a fair point to consider.
  • DN Zeta is the absolute speed increase: don't even need to speed to apply a debuff, that is why I think it is bad for this game to develop such skills.

    Because he is being out of line. You have Palpatine with shock on his basic, you have Anakin with buff immunity/health immunity on his basic, you have Sidious with health immunity on his basic, you have b2 with buff dispel and buff immunity, what exactly is it that you want? If anything those abilities are far better than putting health immunity on a random toon..


    Good luck on defense when none of them know who to target. You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. This would clearly balance the game out with out being OP.

    This is why people should be required to post their database links to comment on here. Gaurenteed he is playing around down in the 50's. Squads need a buff on defense. Passive uniques are the best way to do that. They play the same on offense and defense.

    Well you can just check him out from the in game ally search.

    There's already passive cleanse and passive revive.

    And now 150. And I do play against Chaze teams. Your post is therefor irrelevant. Half of those who are crying are not higher than rank 100, so we are at about the same rank. The difference is, I am building mostly my clones so I can help my guild, you are building mostly your arena team for your own benefit.

    Yeah right, I meant passive cleanse whenever the ally takes turn (not when the healer takes turn) and for passive revive you should make it 100% and not 10% :) and ask everytime the healer takes then it has a high percent chance to revive the dead ally. Sorry for being so imprecise, it is Sunday.

    Perhaps, but I think some of it has to do with teams being perceived as "easier" or "harder" to defeat - regardless as to whether or not the perception is accurate.
  • I am nowhere near the meta end of the pool, but I'm wholeheartedly against anything reducing the effectiveness of Jedi abilities, including Zarriss (or as those of us like myself who can't afford multiple zetas would say, Barriss).

    This strikes me as a whale-only problem. I'd prefer they work on things that benefit non-meta teams. Like Jedi, or droids, or republic, or even tusken raiders. People don't need help killing my Barriss, they need different goals to pursue, or different counters to existing powerful people :)
  • Argument: X team can be beaten so it's fine to leave it as it is. If a team can be beaten, then it's balanced.

    Reality: X team can ONLY be beaten by very specific characters. Any team that doesn't include these characters can't be used in Arena. The whole game suffers from a lack of diversity.

    Zaul could be beaten, but still pushed out of the meta any team that relies on Assists/TM gain/Counter

    Chaze could be beaten, but still pushed out of the meta any team with no mass/regular dispell.

    ZVader could be beaten, but still pushed out of the meta any team with no cleanse.

    Wiggs could be beaten, but still pushed out of the meta any team without a pre-taunter.

    Evasion teams could be beaten, but still pushed out of the meta any player that had poor RNG.

    Poe teams could be beaten, but still pushed out of the meta any team without Poe.

    Barris/healing teams could be beaten but still pushed out of the meta any team without Sidious.


    CAN BE BEATEN =/= BALANCED

    If you think so, you have very poor knowledge in game design, game balance, and poor basic logic.

    This was a PSA for people who should stop using dumb arguments.
