LV vs JMK...Ability Block issue.

I started using LV in Squad Arena to climb against JMK recently. Mainly out of boredom (ok, that was a lie. Real reason is because I happen to roll a darkside datacron with over 280% health steal :lol:)

What I noticed however, my Darth Vader starts his turn with MM, ability block everyone except cat. Then usually enemy GK goes. And despite he's ability blocked, he is able to use the "Negotiator" ability and cleans all the debuffs.

I read through the JMK and GK kit and failed to see any logic why this is possible. Please enlighten me.

    I think this is being triggered by GK reaching 1 percent health from the DOT. When a character reaches 1 percent health for the first time, the leader ability from JMK kicks in, restores some health and protection, gives protection up, and cleanses all debuffs on that character.


    This is absolutely what is happening. You can tell by the healing and Protection Up. In fact, I'm sure this scenario has been reported before with the same conclusion.
  • If you can clock Maul and DV's speeds just right, you should be able to hit GK with buff immunity then do Maul's dispel attack.

    It's also beneficial to use Force Crush on Ahsoka (not CAT) during MM. This way she opens with her special instead of her basic which has the potential to cleanse someone.

    It is really hard to help explain what happened without a video.


    I will try to make one tomorrow. Out of tries today.

    Are you sure that Ahsoka didn't attack or assist just before ? Her basic dispel a random ally and it could have been GK. It happened to me sometime and I was puzzled at first

    Recorded it now. I tried it several times. Everytime the same result.
