Please don't rework EP too much

As someone who runs EP in the arena right now (in a December 15 shard), I really hope the hint was for upgrades (probably using zetas) and not a complete rework. His kit, even as is, is one of the best ones in play. Great damage, amazing control, and one of the best leader abilities out there. I've made some videos of my team (EP Thrawn Krennic DT Shore) vs. several teams in the current Meta, check it out:
1) CLS + Nihilus

2) Talzin + GK

4) Talzin + NS Spirit

5) AA + Hermit Yoda

6) Titans:

    @Dark_Helmet152 I like your idea of Vader being made a taunting tank who can play the attacker role as well. It fits nicely with his personality, and will add to EP's survivability. I would love to see some major synergy between Vader and EP with this rework. Those two should be THE OP duo, if anyone.


    I'd hate to steal to much from other duos, but I would like to see Vader get a +5% defense bonus per DoT on each enemy, with this bonus extending to EP. I'd like to see Vader have a taunt ability as well as a taunt that procs when something happens to EP. I'd like to see force crush become unavoidable.

    With so much cleansing, I think we need more debuffs that can't be dispelled. Vader's ability block on basic should not be able to be dispelled since it is only for 1 turn anyway. EP's basic shocks for 3 turns, it should not be able to be dispelled for at least 1 turn.

    None of this will probably happen, but I am excited to see what the devs have in mind.


    I was just talking to a couple of friends about this the other day. It'd be interesting to see Palp take less Damage with Vader and/or share his unique with Vader. I like your idea of a taunt when something happens to EP. And agreed on the dispels, I think those are the biggest thing keeping Vader at bay. Also, even if not undispellable, maybe if unresistable?

    ok boy, I must say that you intrigued me and yesterday I tried to use ep leader instead of thrawn .... were months that I did not lose against titan ... well first lost battle, against titan full zeta, against jtr I won with good rng. I'm sorry but I remain of my idea that thrawn is much better, in your videos I do not see battles with full zeta team, December 15, but in my March 16 the lv is much higher, in the top 50 at least 40 players have full team gold full zeta. Against that team palp have no way to stay in top end arena team. You can use him like 5° instead of 1 tnak in offence, but you must switch out.in defence

    I was also intrigued and I tried this team, it worked against cls but again Rey with a full gold team I was destroyed. My november 16 shard is harder than december 15, @Goodgil did you try with with a full rey golden team?

    I really hope for a strong rework plus a new Vader unique that has sinergy. Both of them are old meta toons and can't compete on current arena.

    Emperor Palpatine has been reworked so much he became horrendously overpowered, people complain he is too weak in dealing damage and too squishy, while yes he may be squishy but for goodness sake he once stunned four of my characters with his special alone, before i could even do anything my opponents sith team completely wiped out my team just because i was stunned and couldnt do anything, i genuinely hope those palpatine reworks change into something milder and not this utter insanity that makes them unbeatable.
