Yikes... Vader now cannot even kill Darth Revan, even with Piett's help (Emperor's trap)

I understand that remove "attack ignore defense" from Wat Tambor's wepon tech is to maintain the greatness of GLs (without it Vader can't defeat GLs)
But the damage from Vader's culling blade is reduced by 40% after this nerf. This is too bad. He now cannot even kill DR.
So I tried him with Piett 5 times, failed 5 times. His damage with culling blade is around 130000 (Thrawn's lead + 7 stacks of Emperor's trap, well-modded), and I used culling blade on Darth Revan when Vader's Merciless is about to expire. DR didn't die.

I guess since Vader is not a Legendary Character, he should not deserve the place to kill Darth Revan, according to Capital Game's design logic.

Before the nerf, I used Thrawn lead + Wat + Vader + Shore + TIE Fighter and always got 60 banners.. After this nerf..., well, a disaster. I want to post 5 videos here to support my claim, but the format is not allowed.

Guys, what about your thoughts?
  • For Vader, I will try to farm offense and potency mods, to let him get over 9000 Physical Offense. I've watched a video of him one-shotting Darth Revan with his culling blade (R8, 8900 Physical offense), for which I posted the link down below:

    I'm good with this so far. This is the only mod suitable for Vader I think
  • It's just sad really - one of the funniest toons in the game to use, reduced to a third rank character :(

    But hey, he can still beat a GG line-up :o :o :o

    I've seen videos post nerf where Vader still defeats DRs, but it's more sketchy. At least the crit chance buff prevents for those Crit Avoidance Malaks to throw you off, I guess, but still the nerf hit him hard.

    Just try him out - vs DR who gets extra 5 stacks! for Vader its one thing, but vs Genosians etc i am sure he will fail as well
    70k special hits wont even kill trash Mando

    Edit: Maybe fix should always should have been connection between Vader and Wat's assist dots/armor ignore. Vader by himself now reminds me on Mace Windu.
