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

I think just making them non removable fixes them.

If you end up reducing CD to one turn on them then every BH with a detonate ability needs to be fixed as we'll a ship there will be no need for it.

The only thing they need to do is change it so detonators can be either dodged or resisted, but not both.

As to literally every other comment here, sing it with me in the key of C:

Thermal detonator cannot be resisted, only evaded.

Doesn't count as a debuff.

Explodes doing damage equal to 20% max PROTECTION and inflicts a random debuff chosen from a pool of all debuffs in the game. This can include deathmark, armor shred, even fracture.

If cleansed, still explodes dealing damage equal to 20% max HEALTH to all opponents units.

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..

Well.. I see the detonator rolling to your feet and dont tell me that if i throw a bomb at you, which is right next to you can be avoided by a steap aside.. I beg u get serious damage anyway

I was about to mention that these are timed detonators, which would give you plenty of time to run away... but these are thermal detonators.. maybe the evade is that the bomb didn't get close enough to notice the body heat signature and thus didn't detonate

At the very least they should ignore taunt.

Other than being undispellable, which makes sense, many of these would make them too good, with zam and greedo in a bounty hunter squad, ect

Make thermal detonators great again. I would love to see thermal detonators gain some usage and add some much needed variety.

And bounty hunters rework with thermal detonator rework would be perfect

I agree its not all about arena, but what TDs do is keep all of those toons out as options in any team. I'm not pushing to make a whole team of TD attacks but the better we make every toon the more options we have in arena. Options are good.
