Barriss Offee

This is how it works for all characters. Any character’s unique ability no longer applies once that character dies.

All Unique zeta abilities only function while their toon is alive, same with Special ability Zetas (Although an Effect they have granted May last persist until they expire through their normal conditions, think things like Damage Over Time, Expose, Etc.)

Only Lead Zetas (in the Lead slot, or the ally slot -from the borrowed hero in some PVE content) abilities persist for the remainder of the battle once their toon is defeated

They have always worked this way, it is not exclusive to Barris.
Hope that helps!

Phoenix is a good way to understand this. Hera's lead makes them share their uniques.

If you kill Hera, her unique (20% tm when using special) is shut down for all members. But the remaining squad continues to share their uniques.

Edit: Turns out I was wrong about Hera having a unique (snap, I'm such a noob). Anyways, if you kill, say, Kanan, all the Phoenix stop counterattacks. That's his unique and its no longer active when he dies.

As a matter of fact a few years ago, back when Barriss was still in the meta rotation with Qui-Gon the devs discovered that her unique was bugged and not expiring upon her death and was way OP (for that time), and they updated it to work like everyone else's.

The behavior of Uniques continually lasting thru death ended shortly after Barriss’s zeta came online. CG ended the practice after outrage by the community. “This is the way”.

No, some characters' uniques do apply after they die.

No they don't.

I posted earlier about Barriss' kit needing to make more sense. I was just told her unique passive ability-zeta ends when she dies? If this is true, that's a joke and CG you should fix this. The ability doesn't say, "while she is alive". It's a great feature for a character far from being OP.

You're forgetting about Old Ben's unique; there are others.

Out of all the horrendously bad Republic Jedi, you picked the one that's actually somewhat useful to whinge about?

Other example: DR ability cleansing foresight is no more exist when he gone

Padmés stop, DRs stop, Trayas stop.

What do you mean old Ben's unique? His unique states when he dies his allies get buffs for 2 turns. After the buffs are gone they dont reapply

That's different.

Its always been like this bro.

Apparently, Barriss' unique did use to endure but was "altered" (pray they don't alter it any further) in 2017.

It was a bug and it was fixed. Unique are not meant to persist after death.
