I'm curious what ONE THING droid users would like most that they believe would make them instantly viable again at the top of arena. Droids now don't stand a chance against Zaul or just about any team with a Zeta Barriss and have been on the decline since Wiggs was on top of the food chain. My solution is simple, get rid of the need for Jawa Engineer and make General Grievous grant all droid allies 100% TM for his zeta ability. With that you now have a cleanse at the beginning of the match from B2, the possibility of inflicting healing immunity from Grievous and you gain another high dps attacker. Other abilities I considered but thought too op were the ability to no longer be countered, a chance to rez, a phasma style chance to assist and of course the additions of R2, C-3PO or BB-8. So what are your ideas for abilities that could provide an immediate boost so droids could compete at the top of arena once again without going completely too op?

Great suggestion pal, I can see you really put a lot of thought into that. I run Sith currently so I'm way ahead of you on that one

Only buff I think droids would really need to be viable again is to throw a cleanse on JE's recalibrate IMO. Yes, the crit hate is nasty, Other things too, but daze and stun are killers for those glass cannons.Not that it's so bad on my young shard. I have taken top 10 for 10 days straight, top 5 for 5 of them. Once there is more than one Zaul on my shard, however...

Ig:88 Adaptive Aim Algorithm Zeta

At the start of battle and whenever a droid defeats an enemy that unit gains Assassin Algorithm.
Assasin Algorithm: Attacks from this unit ignore armor (or defense) and do not trigger effects. This buff cannot be dispelled. When defeated, Droid allies gain offense up for two turns. If they already had offense up, gain defense up for two turns.

Give HK a zeta that gives him a taunt + retribution + gain 10% health any time another droid gets critically hit.

That is the most reasonable Droid buff, or in this case Zeta, I have ever seen. I'm actually all for that. Great job.

HK-47 needs two zetas... one on his revive...
Zeta Reconstruction
100% chance to revive at 25% hp
75% chance to revive at 50% hp
50% chance to revive at 100% hp
These revives ignore "cannot be revived effects" of execute and annihilate

Another Zeta on his aoe
Zeta Meatbag Mayhem
Deals physical and special damage to all enemies and a 25% chance to inflict speed down, defense down, offense down, damage over time for 2 turns, ability block, daze and stagger for 2 turns. These chances are tripled vs. Jedi.

HK-47 is over 5000 years old and has served up as many meatbags as McDonald's has served chesseburgers.

The reconstruction makes him a unignoreable but inconsistant threat (like leia)

The addition of daze and stagger to his grenade give him use in groups outside of droids, and very unpredictable, and potentially able to change any battle.

This is what I'm talking about. HK with an auto-taunt, retribution gain, and Health recover every time a Droid is crit isn't good enough. He needs a Zeta on an ability that's already maxed, and to ignore cannot be revived effects. And why does he need to be viable outside of Droid squads? He's a Droid leader. Who's going to run him as a fifth in their Empire, Jedi, Rebel, Sith, etc. teams.

Tenacity up at the start of battle for two turns. That would bring them back in the spotlight without being too overpowered.
