This leads to my question, is IG-88 going to be a part of the main bounty hunter squad now? His issue was being too easily killed, but now that this is not an issue anymore, will he be better than other bounty hunters in the fifth slot?
I don't assume so. He needs more of a rework to fit in with other bounty hunters. Aside from his low survivability, his main issue with just not having any real synergy with how other BHs operate. Others can do things like reduce TM, stun, apply thermal detonators, etc.. IG-88's real bread and butter currently lies with target lock. Because of that, IG-88 fits better in a droid squad since they're the faction that actually uses that mechanic. BUT with the GG reworks, you're definitely not gonna take away one of the separatist droids for IG-88... so he's just kinda there...
He has a really good debuff package, heal immunity, and hits like a truck. Now that I found out he got a protection buff, I know just where to put him.
Thanks OP. IMO he works just as well under scoundrels as he Does BH or Droids. He should work on any BH squad or try him with Qira and Vandor if you have them.
