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 considering the pain it is to farm her shards, I don't really think I want to drop $100 on a pack that will give great characters and then ultimately get nerfed in a few weeks. She has nearly zero offense and her only real saving grace was her better than average heal. She's basically now a bullet soak with a good heal. The only good portion of her heal is that the healing equalizer goes through healing immunity.

    Maybe now that her nuclear heal has been weakened, they will be able to buff the % proc on her attack-based heal or something to compensate.


    They nerfed that one as well lol. It used to be 5%/10% and now it's 3%/6%. I noticed it during an arena battle and that's what led me to these forums.

    Nerfing a character which you sold for cash is unethical. No matter how little or heavy the need was.

    Agreed. You can talk to me about the EULA all day long but if you sell me a powerful character at a premium, I expect that character to essentially remain untouched. If this is not acceptable to EA, then they should stop releasing characters that are obviously significantly more powerful than others and do a better job of balancing.
  • Again, she is not useless. She is excellent in GW.
    But she ain't what she used to be.
  • This is crap. Barriss was my strongest toon and the one I put the most time and effort into.

    Capital Games before December of this year went two years without EVER nerfing a character. When they did, it pretty much destroyed their company on their other game Heroes of Dragon Age.

    Everyone is gone.

    What did CG learn from this experience? Apparently nothing. Long time players of Capital games assumed (yes, I know dangerous word) that after nerfing a character (namely Advisor Leliana in HoDA) and crediting 75k accounts and flushing their game and EAs profits (hurt my stock in the fourth quarter...don't know what did, but something did)...

    I did not expect an idiot nerf.

    I'm sorry if p2p players bother certain people. I have both a f2p account and a p2p account. I play them quite differently with different strategies. There are many OP toons. There are OP toons that were left OP, or made more OP.

    Truth is, this just flushed a pretty much most of my time on my p2p jedi team down the toilet. Ben was nerfed 2. My f2p team is much stronger after the nerf. Guess I shouldn't have blown all that time and money.

    All you have taught me CG and EA is f2p is the way to go. Investing in your company is a waste of time and effort.

    Much better to play for free. Thx guys. You just saved me a ton of money.

    You aren't worth investing in outside a platform game. And please don't send BioWare games to CG. They really are to good for CG.
  • Just look at the top leaderboards of who is the leader of most teams and you'll see her. When a character is so dominant that's she's almost universally used, a nerf will come. I can see a reduction of second attack chance on the count but we will see.
  • I want my money back. The fact is that the one character that desperately needs a nerf didn't get one.

    Bring her back to her origional stats, which is why people bought her. This is straight up fraud.
  • Gotta love how they placate our cries with handing us 500 crystals. Honestly, we spent $50 to get Barriss, and as a "sorry we changed her after you paid us" we get a consolation prize worth less than $5.
