Not surprised about the Darth Nihilus usage. He is an easy button.
I agree, but I'll say this - without an elite tier taunter like GK or Chaze he's kinda dead weight with low damage to start out IF damage early in the battle is critical. I'm trying to stay 100% dark side - so that means no GK, no R2, no Rex, and no Chaze. Leaves me with Sith Trooper, Stormtrooper and Shore as better taunts. Now, vs, Chaze / R2 / GK that doesn't cut it too well as far as keeping DN safe. Vs. the current GK / R2 / Chaze version I'm seeing where GK is the leader and DN is the 5th, I actually dropped DN because he didn't really add to the team I eventually found success with: zDV leader, SA, SiTr, DT, and EP.
Using zDV leader to apply dots / debufs that prevent ten up, SA to give TM push and proc Trooper taunt, DT for aoe dispel on all the buffs / smoke screen and to double tap Baze as a rebel and EP for anti-rebel / jedi damage and shock. GK / Chirrut use their cleanses right away and I just stay focused on Baze - between SA, DV, EP, and DT I'm just blowing Baze off the screen first. It's unbelievable. With the TM pin from zDV he's often not even getting a turn before he's dead.
So back to DN...yes he is easy button if you have all the tanks and elite taunts to hide him and string the match out until he's loaded. In that squad I can't pull him for Trooper as I need a taunt - EP does way better damage overall as an attacker - zDV is the lead - DT is critical for the buff removal and pinning Baze - and SA is critical for the TM push early on and throughout the match along with big time damage / stuns.
