I have 7 star, modded out Gear 10 Darth Maul, and to be honest, hes just no where near where he would need to be to be slightly competitive. His main issue is his speed, and just 100 speed, everyone else is going first, then when he gets a turn its underwhelming. His crits on his first ability do far far less than even Rey who's fallen off the earth. His 2nd ability's damage is also just as low, and doesn't proc extra turns you almost don't want to use it. Daze does not stop the initial counter, so lets say you AOE a whole team of counter attackers, Maul gets obliterated. In order to fix him, he needs a massive damage buff all around, if he kills people with his 2nd ability he gets extra turns as well, and make it so when daze applies, you don't get countered.

I'd be curious about the zeta situation too. Also, gear 11 is probably needed at this point for him too.

Even with Zeta, or anything else, his base speed and low damage, plus the way the daze mechanic works makes him irrelevant

Soon we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi........

That really goes for just about everybody at this point, not just Maul. How good are your mods? What squad members are you using with him and are you using him as lead? Are they all gear 10 / 11?

I'm a rank 1 player consistently on my shard. I modded him with Speed mods + offset, doesn't matter when wiggs lando etc are hitting multiple times per his 1 VERY underwhelming turn. I run a Palp lead team with Shore, Tiepilot etc.

Under Emperor lead he tears Jedi teams apart single handed in GW and tournaments, however thanks to Emperor there are not many Jedi teams in PVP

Daze definitely sounds like a bug. In the K-2SO event it's easily seen that you can daze someone without getting countered. Could be because in that instance it's a retribution buff the enemy has, but it should work the same as with a toon's counter ability.

Correct, no Zeta. Even with a Zeta, I highly doubt that would bring him into the Meta. The other sith in the game benefit much more from other leads. With his speed where it's at, and his underwhelming damage, even with Zeta he will have minimum impact on a match. Baze Malbus or B2 just going to AoE his starting stuff away anyhow. Lets say he was Zeta'd and against a Jedi team that had a Jedi QBJ. He'll probably never get a turn.
