We all know thermal detonators are one of the worst debuffs in the game. Here are a few ideas that I think would make them a useful debuff. 1. After a detonator explodes and does damage inflict stun, tenacity down, stagger, or burning (I would prefer stagger or burning)2. dispel any buffs after detonator explodes.3. All detonators deal AOE damage (Yes, Nute would need a rework because his ability already does this). 4. Increase damage or have them do a % of of total health.5. Make them unable to be dispelledAny one or combination of these would make them so much better. Ideally I would want to see All detonators deal AOE damage along with inflicting stagger on the primary target after detonating with an increased amount of damage 2x.

May be all bounty hunters\scoundrells factions need a rework?) Not only detonators?)But, yep, 5k damage after 2-3 turns with a high chance to be dispelled or evaded - is worst mechanic.

Detonators are in desperate need of a rework, cleanse teams make the whole mechanic irrelevant at best

See above. Would love a BH rework that includes something being done to TDs Additional suggestion for the list- if dispelled they explode for aoe damage

Really love the idea of burning- and what kyno said above. Or taking it a step further- different toons have different detonators- shock, burning, and have a toon that has both . A bomb squad would be really cool.

I think they should be able to be dispelled but instead thermals should punish the target for cleansing the thermals.Something like.Thermal detonators Explodes after 2 turns inflicting physical damage and burning, if the detonator is removed in anyway before the timer expires deal an additional 25% damage and deal 50% of the overall damage in the form of AoE to the rest of the enemy team

Something like.

Explodes after 2 turns inflicting physical damage and burning, if the detonator is removed in anyway before the timer expires deal an additional 25% damage and deal 50% of the overall damage in the form of AoE to the rest of the enemy team

Or how about cripple.. Reduces tm when hit by 15% and also 5% max health dmg then .. For about 3 turns and undispellable

Yes please. Rework them and give them a new status effect. I like the idea of a permanent effect, we already armor shredding, or i would say that. I like the idea of permanent max health down. (kinda like armor shredding)

they need it.

and as stated, something needs to happen to the dodge/resist/dispell, they are not strong enough to be this difficult. so they need to get way more deadly or 2 of those need to go away or 1 goes away and the other has either 100% or some % to explode (as an aoe or a different effect or combination)...

Please make this happen.

Well.. Im unsure how somebody can evade a bomb.. So they should be unresistable and when they donate they apply dots, healthdown or shatter( could be something like a dot with speed down)

You can evade bombs by ducking undercover.. the detonator may actual miss the target too if he jumped out of the way..
