Why Maul ignore defense if you just removed this ability….

    Oh and btw there are many toons that already have true damage on their kits, I don't see you complaining about them. Stop crying for everything, it gets annoying.


    This.

    From the top of my head:
    1. Arc Trooper turret has True Damage,
    2. Bad Batch has True Damage
    3. Droideka has True Damage
    4. HK47 has it too



    CG added True Damage to JKL's basic in the same update they removed defense ignore from Jedi's Will.

    Yet people seem weirdly fixated on them adding True Damage to Maul's kit as well.
  • As I’ve said before, the problem isn’t Ignoring Defense, it’s massively Ignoring Defense. Characters like Darth Sideous and Canderous Ordo still can ignore Defense but nobody cares because they barely hit above 20k damage. JKL and GAS were clearing 80-100k.

    Arc Trooper, Hunter, and JKL don’t do huge amounts of massive True damage, they just chip away at things little by little. HK and Droideka can do high damage, but only in very specific scenarios that aren’t 100% under player control. And on Cooldowns.

    What makes Maul a problem is he’s got insane scaling on his ability that ignores defense, and doesn’t need anything special to set it up.

    Noodle dmg was added to both, gas and jkl


    They were inherited teachings from Darth "Noodle" Sidious.

    Where I complained in my post ?
    Was asking a clear simple question only. BTW you give a good explanation. Thanks for that.
    You can close this post.


    I am with you here. I also realized this when they released Maul's kit. But I didn't know True Damage can't critically hit.

    There's literally nothing to add to this post. Yet people will call us out and say we are complaining
