darth nihilus zeta lead

60% health steal 100% zetad health steel and remove the crit bs would kind of do the job, wouldn't make him OP but okey ish in diff team compos, what we have right now kinda makes him really unusuable...

I haven't used him but his leader doesn't look bad. Don't forget the 60% offence. I agree that if they could crit it would be too OP. This team has to be modded differently than common teams. Offence and protection are best imo.

i use a nihilus led sith team and while they are a bit low level at only 64 all-round, i have beaten sith and jedi teams at lvl 80+
it's of course quite hard to accomplish, with me winning by maybe 1 char standing but with only gear level 7,i think he is bloody powerful
Allow him to crit, and no team in the world would be able to stand up to him

The no crit can be useful. Counter to rex and barris. The 60% bonus damage makes up for it. Just need to use a different mod set.

Instead of thinking of it as no longer criting, think of the +60% offense as every hit doing a 160% damage crit (instead of the base 150). Maxed out its only 216% damage, but now they could throw on offense or some other stat instead of crit chance and crit damage. In terms of attack damage they are only doing slightly less than with crits but gain incredible health steal and the protection into health thing. On top of that it is basically a counter to Rex lead, GK and wiggs and neither of them can proc their respective specials from getting crit. It's honestly a great trade off and a unique which is always nice.

Actually can be a good solution against zaul teams as criting a sith under zaul without killing him will send him into stealth...

His leader ability is a direct counter to:
Zaul lead
Zarriss
GK
Chirrut
Rex lead
Biggs

I see your point who uses those toons....

(Ok biggs is a stretch but still)

I wouldn't be worried about zaul, I'd be worried about who is standing next to him.

Looking at my zaul team:
DoT x 3
DoT x 3
Expose
Healing immunity
Shock
And in about 2 weeks maybe 20% health down

Expose, DOT and health down would do massive damage.

As others have said, the no crit thing is good, as it is a counter to many teams. The +60% offense actually over compensates for the lack of crits, unless you had them modded up the wazoo, in which case move those crit mods to another team and load up your sith with percent protection and offense.

Plus the massive health steal (150% under zeta) means your sith can survive a lot, especially since they effectively heal protection.

The problem with Nihilus is not his leader ability, it's that he can't use annihilate until it doesn't matter.

I guess it depends who you are facing... anihilate can be a great wahbof getting rid of zavage or zylo
