General Grievous G13 Working as intended?

It’s the synergy with T3’s zeta that boosts the dmg so high, GG does NOT need to be nerfed. If they do anything to address this it should be decreasing the synergy between GG and T3

I really like the part in the video where he uses his DR team on offense like a chimpanzee playing with a rubix cube. Literally doing everything entirely wrong just so GG can win.
(In case you were wondering, open up with mass shock on DR, fear with Dbast, lifedrain with Malak to trigger deathmark but NOT KILL an enemy, hurt but DON'T KILL one of the tanks with HK, then use Fear on HK with DR, which will kill him and trigger GG's zeta, but the turn will be wasted since he has fear on him).

And then came a G12 Jedi Luke with a 300k aoe, and all the GG + Malak G13s will cry rivers. Just give it some time.

It's not like he's a theorycrafter or even good at playing the game. This team has been around for a while and was working without the g13, yet with less consistency. He's simply a high pitched clown and I don't care as long as I get some info. I decided to keep on with my sep roids-g13 project for arena regardless of the outcome.

Im more worried about his decline in fitness over the past year than his videos

Yes, it’s a mix of several things, grievous’ Max health, t3’s unique abilities (mind you since the t3 in the video doesn’t even have the zeta ability for added defense penetration for droid allies that isn’t taken into consideration), and ferocity itself, since it not only counts as a debuff, putting the team’s critical damage through the roof since they get a lot of stacks of ferocity (plus the minor boost of 20% critical damage and 30% critical chance from HK-47’s leader ability) but the 15% defense loss per stack of ferocity on the Sith empire characters.

Yes but as others have pointed out that JKA was the same scenario (Hermit Yoda’s buff + JKR lead bonus + Stacks of Ferocity)

But CG nerfed him anyways. I don’t think they will but I’ve been wrong before. I don’t see any point in nerfing GG and I think with DR return I don’t think they care about Malak. As they have stated multiple times, they have target metrics of how good a win rate needs to be before they decide to nerf it — to CG it’s all about numbers whether a toon qualifies for a nerf not the team composition and interaction of abilities / buffs / debuffs

They should nerf him. G13 or not, it’s not healthy at all for the game to have a character able to one shot one of the best teams in the game.

I don't think this team would be very good on defense. Seems like it would die really easy to JKR. Just mark GG and kill him first.

Magnaguard has entered the chat*


It's been tested GG gives JKR a tough time on offense even without G13 since the magna guard rework.

JKR is done

Umm did you watch the video? This team doesn't run Magnaguard.

A standart g13 GG sep roids team is beating DR/Malak as well. Should we be running around crying foul for everything that beats DR/Malak?

My Arena shard has people who already have G13 Revan, Malak, and Bastila. Revan and Bastila will fall to a 170k AoE attack without being able to do anything other than fuel Grievous’ damage output. My shardmate’s Malak would fall as well (161k total H&P).

But his Malak is optimized for speed and not health. His Malak optimized for health (via protection mods) would likely be at about 180k to 185k, which would be able to live through a 170k hit, but just barely (and hopefully for him, not within RNG error). Then Malak would likely be able to finish them off. But a bit close for comfort.

Then again, I’m not sure that he had both zetas on T3. So that’s more damage right there. Well, maybe we’re getting closer to parity in the game. ;)

Fair.
