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.
DN's useage goes down as you go to the 1-10 (60% roughly) and 1-100 (37%-EP actually surpasses him!), but the fact that he's in at 74% of all teams at #1 really shows you how much this one toon IS the meta. It hasn't really changed much as the Maul meta gave way to Rex-its just a new way to protect him with the introduction of R2D2...
Protect Nihilus, however you can! (I like the toon, but I do find this one particular part of the meta incredibly boring...)
The difference between DN and Chaze, and the reason why he isn't the meta, is that he is to dependent of his companions, while Chaze, just like Zaul or Wiggs in their time,are great on their on. True Zaul is also a gimmick, but that is another discussion. Throw DN with Chaze and Rex or a good Zaul team and he is absolutely great. Put him in a team outside top 200 and in most cases he will die before he accomplishes anything. While if you put Chaze in a team that struggled to remain in top 500 they will guaranteed climb at least to top 200. Boba is actually a better alternative for DN in weaker teams. That is also the reason for the discrepancy in usage for different rankings.
That's true, but the zaul meta was the same thing-everyone used DN in their zaul team as well. Triple cleanse is just a new way to do it.
