This isn't OP. Anakin being ine shot with nearly full protection and hp.

I wouldn't trust the damage seen in some of these gifs. Many of the other threads (e.g. Cody) seem to have inflated numbers and seemly originate from pre-nerfed mod days.I can see 7 buffs/debuffs altogether on anakin/spy. In my experience with max mods, the actual damage done would be close to 35k.Also:In order to gain the damage increase you must use the special while stealthedThis statement is not true. It has been changed recently to only requiring a positive buff on the opponent.

Rey can do this damage at 240 speed. You are looking too much at the individual and not at the team on a whole. Take out his support structure and he starts moving much slower (Stun, kill GS/SF).

35K would still be enough to take out almost every toon in this game...and when have you seen GeoSpy never not stealthed when using his Special?

Rey can do this damage at 240 speed. You are looking too much at the individual and not at the team on a whole. Take out his support structure and he starts moving much slower (Stun, kill GS/SF). Crit avoidance, dodge both work very well to prevent him from taking turns. Persistent AOE e.g. droid JE teams also kill him very fast.

35K can take out most unmodded toons, but at end game where these damage numbers prevail, hardly so. My Cody (squishiest of the squishies) sits at 36k ehp.

Sure Rey can dish out that much damage with that speed, but she is targetable and can easily be destroyed without having to worry about being countered with an AOE attack that might just miss GeoSpy.

And how will I take out GeoSoldier before he moves? When modded his speed is almost as fast as Rey's and would sit at 200s if you stack speed primaries and secondaries. He also isn't the squishiest of glass cannons with 26K+ HP and Protection unmodded.

I could go try out crit avoidance mods, but that will leave me in a speed disadvantage and your guys will be taking twice as many turns. I don't know about you, but I would rather have my arrow mods with a whopping 30 speed than use crit avoidance mods which I am not even sure works. Also dodge is in no way a viable option when rng can either go your way or your enemies.

I've done as much as 61k with crit damage mods equipped. Very effective when paired with Sun Fac if you have both.

You dont need to kill GS, stuns are just as viable. This team has no stun mitigation. I get knocked down from first daily by meta teams. I really dont see what all your fuss is about. Just like any top rank holding team in the game at the moment there are ways to beat this team, especially with the 88 fix coming up.

I am saying the damage he dishes out, the turn meter gain, and his survivabilty is way too insane. He'll probably get 3 turns before some toons move and will always be the first to take someone out.

Stunning GS is probably isn't a viable answer either because he will still get one turn out before everyone else when stacked with speed mods and Daka and Dooku aren't really the kind that can take too much damage.

And I really doubt the fix would do anything when tenacity and potency are in totally different levels, potency being much more powerful than tenacity.

Those numbers are not inflated. This is more than feasible post mod and actually a little lower than what I've seen and tested. He's crazy strong and with 88 at lead and Han (if you have him) to stun the teams damage dealers, the match is over almost in 2 turns. He can one shot almost every toon. Since it takes a bit of setup, your target toon has to take damage, thus the RG's with 60K+ health is reduced to about 50K by the time spy hits. He gets insane amounts of turns almost as good as b2 and just wrecks. Awesome toon if played correctly.
