PvP Replacement for Dooku (FTP)

id go boba if you can get him to 7 star

I wouldn't replace Dooku with either Vader or Boba Fett. Dooku is far more useful.
It's funny that these forums have so many comments like "You will replace Dooku at higher levels" but I am level 60 and still see Dooku a lot. Also, when I don't, I usually feel relieved. He's not the strongest or most dangerous, but he definitely forces you to adjust your playstyle.

I'd agree. I think he has very good skills and Phasma as leader is a pretty big buff to Dooku. For me it's less his abilities than trying to get him to 7*. I use most of my energy finding gear so dropping 72 a day for 2-3 shards doesn't seem like a great investment. Long term I might come back to him but it just seems like he's not in the cards short term. Boba I could farm those 72 immediately and then add cantina shipments after Poe gets to 5*.

I'll take a longer look at 88 instead of Assaj from Squad shipments. I've weaseled my way into the top-50 even though I'm 1-2k lower than everyone around me. Pretty sure that's due to a purple Poe. Hopefully a good sign this team is viable.

Ig is great especially if you can get a negative effect on all whole enemy squad.

Dooku is awesome, there is no reason to get rid of him unless you are running a specific comp. But if you were to throw together a bunch of really good chars with no synergy, he's one of them. He has a stun, he can double attack, he counterattacks, he also silences and stuns jedis on his normal attack. He hits pretty damn hard if you consider that for a large portion of the time, he's dealing damage so often -- as a counterattack, or double strike, or lowering opponent DPS (silencing stunning). He is incredibly fast and usually has the first attack, and gets multiple attacks in all the time, which also raises his DPS.

The only negative is that he is a bit squishy -- stun him once and he goes down. He doesn't have great AOE, but generally speaking he makes people pay for AOE, and this is key against computer AI.

So yeah, if you are doing an all Jedi, robot, AOE, or nightsister team, he's no good. But he's good almost everywhere else for the reasons above.
