First of all, what are we looking at realistically for Tarkins total Potency? His base right now is around 33% plus lets say around another 40-50% potentially with the right mods? So lets be optimistic here and say he starts at around 80%. Then lets say he opens with Intimidation Tactics and gains another 100% pot via debuffing the enemy (with offense down/crit chance down) and you gain pot up buff (is that 50% flat potency increase, or does that increase your potency by 50% of it's base, or possibly even 50% of it's current amount?) If you have him on a squad that allows him to counter or assist with enough frequency that he gains another 150%-250% during the first couple of rounds, then on his third turn he's got roughly around 430%. Now if we assume that 'Potency Up' adds 50% of your current potency to your total, then you'd be sitting around 645% pot by turn 3? Since he gets an equal amount of defense, just how beefy would that make him? Lets assume that, for whatever reason, the enemy team wasn't able to remove offense down. What kind of damage is Tarkin taking at this point? How much defense do you think would be needed to reduce the enemies damage by 85-95%?

Unless I'm mistaken, if you could draw out the battle, wouldn't Tarkin start to approach Super Beef Cake mode? Then at whatever point he's decided he's had enough, he blows up the entire planet. Sounds pretty good to me?

Of course you could ramble on about how this is never going to happen because of triple cleanse or what not, but that just seems like other people throwing his worst case scenarios at him. What should we realistically expect here?

It makes him just beef cake enough to be annihilated by Darth nihilus
