Count Dooku is too powerful

He's too weak needs a buff

From your mouth to EA devs ears :)

Really?

Regardless, in Arena I don't mind as much. But in GW, an AI Dooku almost guarantees I'm going into the next round with life missing from one or more characters, even when I have two healers.

The mistake here is leaving him for last. Never do this. He's a secondary target and should be eliminated as soon as primary targets are gone. Never ever save a counter-bot for last in GW.

1. Take out primary targets (major DPS, reviving healers, heal-blockers, etc.)
2. Whittle Dooku down. Hit him with high-health chars that can absorb his counters (preferably not Jedi). Use specials on him, like Lumi's. Try to stun him. One stun and he is toast. (I love stunning.)
3. Use Sid to heal-block him. When you have him low, if there's a Barriss, ability-block or stun her.
4. Use a tank or healer to regen health/cooldowns. Bring in a secondary healer if necessary when the fight is nearly over, to preserve your primary healer cooldowns. You should be able to end the fight with most of your guys near max unless you are fighting a pure DPS team with no tank or healer.

LOL @ Dooky = OP...The most OP character in this game is Leia. She is in fact the O to the P. You cannot target her until after she kills someone. She constantly crits for 3-4k and attacks always is double even triple attacking. Dooky does what maybe 1.5k or 2k crits twice? You can kill him in a stun though, you can't kill leia until after she pops out of stealth and you lose a character or 2

I do end with near max health, usually. Since Dooku gets first hit, he usually targets my healers, and double stuns them, followed directly by Sid AoE. I don't mind normally, it's just the AI clearly has a higher consistency for landing crucial blocks and stuns. It becomes more prominent with the higher level versions.

It will be a cold day in hell when I have to bring out Plo Koon, and his dispel actually works, versus the 90% resist I get. GW is not too big of a deal for me. I've accepted that I will get dunked on, until my guys get stronger, or I get a lucky bronzium draw that nets me some good lovin'

Another nerf thread? Sigh

Dooku is very strong in lower lvls but once you get 50+ he starts to become less of an issue. Now? I like seeing dookus on the other team because I know who I'm targeting last.

Dooku hits hard lower lvls. Add in his speed, stun, and anti Jedi abilities and he becomes a nightmare. But as you lvl up, and people get more health. Dooku becomes no threat what so ever.

With that said. I have not faced a 7* dooku yet. Did face a 6* one and he did do a lot

you are quite right! i will get him down last. he's not a big threat. no need to nerf. but i still wanna farm him as his lightsaber is so cool!

@ revengeoftheewok

Hey man welcome back, I would be lying if I said I missed you :)

W/e I don't even use Dooku anymore, I don't care if they nerf him or not but nerfing because of the sake of nerfing is silly. Anyway hf Ewok, cya.

Nerfing Dooku just wouldn't make sense. It wouldn't hurt the top pay to win guys at all - he really not used in that slot space. I think it just hurts the very low spenders (or people that just used a gift card to get him early on) that use him still and are farming his shards diligently. He has niche uses still vs. some key Jedi so he's not worthless, but I don't think I've seen a Dooku in PVP in weeks. Even at 7* as noted above, he still has pretty low health.

The Barriss nerf in hindsight was really short-sighted as she's just not upper tier at all and keeps fading more and more as other toons and teams are built up. A Barriss tank / heal build can be defeated in <60 seconds in PVP now. Even if her heal was the same, heal just isn't a factor. A Dooku nerf would be even more ridiculous.

People just need to play longer, build up their roster to get it higher strength and then go from there. In time all this worrying about Dooku will seem silly.
