Mine is at 6* lvl 7 gear. He's a beast with offense and defense up any time he is hit.... Not to mention when a toon is 25% or lower on health it's an automatic kill and can't be dodged.

But how can you tell someone is below 25%, I guess you just have to look and guess? And any hero below 25% is almost a one hit kill, you don't need savage for that.

Savage himself will kill anyone under 25% with his especial attack even without the 99.999 hack. Only thing that attack has is it is unavoidable.

I think Savage, like all those "i leave him for the end" characters work better in group.

Imagine a team with Grievous (L), Fives, Kylo, Savage and Old Ben. Which one do you attack first?

Savage will be a beast at level 80. He gains 30% damage with his basic

Fives is one of those you want to get rid of FIRST (or halfway through), leaving counter chars last with this AI RNG is madness-inducing.
My guess is burst Grievous (one-shot most likely) - Kylo - Fives - Savage - Old Ben.

We will need to test, but I'm not convinced it is so easy to oneshot Grievous (L) with -17% crit chance and -20% crit damage, and if you don't one shot, he'll make someone taunt for him.

Pretty sure this is beatable, all teams are. But it is painful to attack them and a long battle I think
With Old Ben reducing attacks and Grievous limiting crits, it might have enough time to take the glass cannons out

I seriously don't get it. The highest possible health a toon can presently have at 25% is 4,710 (Nightsister initiate). But that's an outlier. More common are numbers like 3,948 (Kylo Ren), 3,379 (Poe Dameron), 3,244 (old Daka), 2,894 (Luminara) and 2,734 (Dooku).

Savage's special ability is basically a non evadable attack in the ~4K region. Except that often it doesn't activate until a toon is brought to significantly lower HP than that. 25% is the threshold. It's highly likely that any attack that brings a toon below 25% actually brings it down to 15%, maybe even just 10%.

At that point, Savage's special is more or less pointless and indistinguishable from his regular attack. Especially with dodging playing such a small part in the game presently.

Savage could be great vs PvE bosses though. That's about the only use I can find for him.

Exactly, this is what I meant in my previous post. A lot of heroes can do more than 3-4k damage, you don't need savage for that.

I've capped him on all counts and I'm just so so on him. Other than his finishing blow, there's not much sexy about him. I just feel like there are a lot of better choices -- especially in a team setting.

Ewok scout is better than savage i think

Wait until the Sith challenge. A seven star Savage will be looking pretty good. Certainly a better investment than Eeath Koth (sp).

You wait till the Eeth Koth challenge, a Eeth Koth will look much better than a Savage by then.

I have him geared up past 7, on to 8. I love this toon in my top 5 I worked hard getting him ready and farming him, he has good health and like earlier posters said he pretty much has that kill shot, great against Poe teams and now royal guard who takes so much damage, my arena team is Sid( lead), dooku, opress, Maul, and Darka...I pretty low through arena without issues except one or two teams which is a coin toss most times......I do understand how many are split on savage but he has been awesome for me so far, plus he takes attention from Maul away in arena high is crucial. Whirling blades hits once and usually battle turns to my favor.
