Barriss nerf
Great timing on the massive nerf to her heal. I would have bought the $99.99 pack but since Barriss' heal was neutered, which I'm not sure really was that much better than any other healer especially...

Alright, full disclosure here: I got her in a lucky drop from a chomium pack. I don't know why that matters. If I'd wanted her bad enough I would have bought her. And the people who did buy her bought her "just" for her. And I think they'd be equally pissed had she been nerfed in ANY way. I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. People didn't buy the female character pack for the cards. they bought it to win arenas. And if 90% of us have to have one particular card to play PvP then that card is overpowered.
And they bought her because she had an INSANE spot heal. Now they are pissed off that the spot heal is gone. But its not. Its gone for glass cannons. Tanks still get massive heals. So now we needs think about our arena builds more if we want to use her. Or, worse, put her in a leader position. Every 4 or so attacks she heals the team. When in leader position, she also heals a team member every turn. And she removes conditions pretty reliably. So the attack damage she does is eclipsed by the amount of healing and utility she STILL produces. At level 46 she's pumping out an extra 1200 to 1400 heal per turn on each character. And thats WITHOUT using her heal skill.
So guys, level up your Chewies, your Windus and your Boba Fetts and stop whining. Barriss is still beast. She just isn't game breaking anymore.
