Darth Maul is completely ridiculous now
He can basically wipe out an entire Jedi team by himself. This is an exceedingly weird idea of "balance".

if you can't kill Darth Maul than you should stop playing (or have patience and build for a bit). Seriously. That's like the lowest health toon you can throw out there. Build a non-Jedi team or get a high DPS toon that can one shot kill him.
No Ashoka is literally the lowest hp character. They should make DM have like 6k hp at max hp.
On her stat page yes she's low - but DM is way lower because Ahsoka has a unique skill that bumps her health way up higher than what it is on her stat page. Maul doesn't have that. His bar is way smaller than Ahsoka's when you actually look in the game."CrossXcalibur;13774" wrote:

He's slow as heck and has terribly low HP - way lower than Dooku even. His extra power is just against Jedi - he will seem very normal against other builds. The amount of whining on this forum is unbelievable. You guys are killing the game. Use another squad beside Jedi against him. If you don't have a good non-Jedi team...than build one.
Problem here though is the 'unknown' factor of choosing what your fighting against. All you are really aware of is the leader of the team you are choosing to fight against. So really prepping a responsive team isn't that easy.
I am saying what I am because I believed the game was finely balanced before these changes. They were not necessary in my opinion and were in response to the long winded complaining in the forums. If that is the trend and way devs function here, it is most definitely in the wrong direction.
I thought it was fine too and it was - BO didn't need a nerf. I think bumping Maul was ok though as I think Maul or any sith getting stronger does help even things out because the game was very very Jedi heavy. This just makes Maul dangerous vs. Jedi, but he's still really squishy. Just forces you to not go full Jedi and take in some toons that have a high damage character, which most Jedi aren't. Most Jedi just tank/heal/chip damage. 86 with his assist special will pulverize a Maul no problem.- I have DM and he's powerful but squishy, plus he's not farmable so unless you're willing to keep shelling out for Chromium packs (and get lucky) advancing him past 4* is impossible.

Please stop being rude. Not everyone who raises an issue is automatically a bad player.
This guy has an aoe AND insane single target damage AND he gets one turn after another when he finishes someone off. At higher stars it is not that easy to finish him in one round, especially with a jedi team.
One char should not neutralize an entire build category.
Why are you using a Jedi team against him? Jedi don't have great high damage toons. This is called a counter build. This is what his purpose is for - to counter Jedi. You can use other stuff - not Jedis as they are currently constructed - to take him out easy.
Honestly I think everyone saying OP this, nerf that..etc is being very rude. It's rude to other players that have these toons..and it's just bad information. This is a thread saying a toon is too much because he is hurting Jedi builds...when his purpose is to counter Jedis. He's very balanced because his health is absurdly low.
But I'm sure this will get nerfed now too.
Wait till you try to fight Sid with a Jedi team. You can't even hit that guy with Jedi he dodges so much.- He's slow with low hp, very easy to deal with lol

Johnny your on my server and close enough to get a fight on me. It's defense so I'm not holding my breath on the AI.
I found a way maul goes off with at least an advantage buff and 50% of the time with potency also. It's not one shot but easy pickoffs after. I kill im2awesome in about 3 turns now, never been able to do that b4. And I'm not even maxed on a few of those characters.
just makes taking spots so easy. Plus I hate cookie cutters which is what this server was turning into"Cythis;13796" wrote:

yeah I tried to hit you at #1 today but you were in battle :)
What I've come to realize is that long term here - because the AI is so poor, there will be no defending - at least not long and not consistently. It will be about musical chairs and who times fights / positions best at the end and throughout the day."JohnnySteelAlpha;13803" wrote:

Persistence wins. If you do get a chance would love to hear the AI side. I get the feeling it's a bad defensive set up."DarthMasterShawn;13787" wrote:
Maul hits harder now yes, but an entire squad down, no. I let him hit me to test it after reading, none died, he was at lvl 53. I then killed him with the combo of Lum force blast and Opress Overpower, no more Maul. He can hit very hard and his AOE is awesome, but he is so fragile.
Mace needs to be more powerful. He is a Jedi Legend and does not hit overly hard.
I agree about Mace, he should live up to the name (a mace is a weapon)- He is offset by low HP and slowness as many others have said. Anyone above rank 100 will have him dead after one round.
