Is Vader worth a zeta still for HAAT?
As per title. Is he still worth a zeta purely for raids, specifically HAAT. I use zMaul for arena but im hearing zVader may be a waste from another guild. What phases if any does he shine.
Forum Discussion
- Vader had my first zeta, and I also had high hopes for using him against the Tank. I haven't found a phase and team where he does better than what I already have (Droids in P2, Tie Pilot and friends in P3, both around 800k). I tried a lot in P3 with EP, Tie Pilot and others, but he's too slow to make a real difference. Yes, culling blade hits (once, max twice) for 100k or so, but that's nothing compared to what Tie Pilot does.
I read that he's better in P2, with a team that also has Sidiousz AND Tusken Shaman... - I also put my first Zeta on him a while ago. He has been good for P3 back then, now he doesnt shine there anymore.
But I managed to get around 600k in our last hAAT at P2 without to much effort. I used Zader G10 (L), Zid G11, Boba G11, Phasma G8, 5s G8.
I will gear up Phasma and replace 5s with EE and then I might not pull those ridiculous numbers a Tusken Shaman Team is capable of, but I think an easy Million in P2 shouldnt be too much of a problem. The Dots take down turrets so fast its amazing and culling blade and execute with victory march already did a lot of damage at second topple. EE should give me some survivability and every culling blade adds quite a lot damage then.
Never regreted "zetaing" Vader even as I replaced him with Zaul fast in Arena but he is just a versatile Leader!! - Zader,zid, shaman, phasma,boba. Search for the the videos. Da bomb. P2
- Cheers guys. Kinda of what I was thinking. I got my p3 team sorted so wanted to run zader in p2.

EE- like others have said, only usefull if you have the right team supporting him. I don't have the right team, i'm doing ~300k dmg with him in p4 if necessary for a top3 ranking.
- I don't have shaman or EE, I do have daka but can't see her doing well. I'm still undecided. Would zeta sidious bring similar or better results than zeta Vader.
SmithieD seems to do well with a zeta Sid squad but again I don't have kylo from this line up

Without the Tusken, has anyone tried these other alternatives: Luke shotgun, Nightsister Initiate (don't laugh) or Bistan? They all apply DoT on their basic too (which I think is more important than having a healer?) ... if not, Talia? (again, don't laugh)- Whenever you see a video, they always have 100% maxed gear toons, tons of high level speed mods moved from their arena team and did a lot of runs to get perfect RNG before they publish the perfect run. They also use toons which given someone's roster, would give a higher score with different teams to maximize Raid damage.
- That's not to say they aren't informative or helpful, I find SmithieD's videos incredibly useful, just don't expect even close to the same scores unless your team is all at least G11 w good mods otherwise you might be only able to get 25% w g10 early g11 and average mods.
