Dk? Give me a break.

Remove thrawn?!?? He is one of the best characters in the game.

I'm glad he didn't listen to your suggestions.

It's already a top ten team and I try not to use GK, Rex, Nihilus, or Chaze. They're just so boring and over used.

Have you tried zfost in place of veers?

Just bcuz Thrawn is 1 of the best toons in the game atm, doesn't mean he's best for this comp. Yes DK. I suppose u think Veers adds more 2 the 2 other troopers than DK would do for DT ? What r u new ? Or just a meta fanboi ? The extra crit damage and tm that DK would feed DT far exceeds what Veers can do and his damage and debuffs r superior by far.

GK giving the whole squad retribution and a group cleanse will shut the opponent down far faster than Thrawn under a Gar lead. But hey, what do I know. Only place 1st daily on a launch shard and have NEVER been meta.

And then u suggest FOST ? U must b joking. U r in no place to criticize. If u can't add something intelligent to the conversation or see past "O lemme use the most powerful meta toons, they gotta b better", then u really shouldn't b posting at all.

I don't think DK would necessarily work better than Veers. Both give TM but zVeers also gives protection. If he's using 4 troopers i think Veers isn't a bad choice, it will always synergize well, What would make DK really better is his really powerful basic attack but as long as DT and him aren't targeted you gain no TM at all.

Many teams could get rid of DK instantly with enough time and thus totally bypass DT/DK synergy. But you're right DT damages would be awesome, especially against rebels, as long as one wants to rely only upon this specific toon to succeed.

Both are equally interesting i guess but Veers works better as a fast burst toon (AoE+assist+free turn upon death). DK is really nice but will work better against AI and really stupid players. :pensive:
A wise player will debuff Shoretrooper and focus Saxon at first so this kind of team should deal enough burst cause their own mechanics will quickly fall apart.

Stormtrooper wouldn't be a bad choice if you can stand the lack of auto-taunt, his basic would synergize well with Gar especially if you don't use Veers and thus lack of critical rating. Shoretrooper is the best choice when it comes to soak up damages but he's seriously lacking of punch.
FoST synergize well with Gar but using a Fo toon on an pure Empire team is indeed not much relevant.
