The more threads/people who want the higher chance!! They do listen!! Remember the buffs on jka/boba and of course maul!! And now the additions of krennic and deathtrooper because everybody wants them and so many have asked.
This is a high demand duo that many people want to use.

Give savage the zeta soon and let's get a sith meta going on!!

Id rather have a real sith that lived like a sith instead of one dying like one moments after becoming one.... #savageoppress&darkbarris

Bane
Marko Ragnos
Scion
Tulak Hord
Etc....

Dark Barriss would be kinda cool tbh.

Hopefully we get some Old Republic Sith in the Dark Side February, but then again, we never really know.

I don't think it can happen, the reason is that the current Darth Maul is from episode one in this game and Savage knows nothing about him at that time

They are brothers, I'm pretty sure they knew eachother before episode 1 ;)
Also in TCW series it is shown how Maul was taken from Dathomir first and after that Savage.
They even fought eachother I believe to become Sith.

Hmmm you thought was maul and savage fighting each other in the males only village...hmmm you may be right...i didnt catch that...

I was kinda flabberghasted that the nightsisters just kept the males like cattle...then picked one when a sith lord (dooku) wanted an apprentice, did some nightsister voodoo dark-side magic and imbued savage with force sensitivity.

It really kinda confused me, i still am.

Maybe we should call an expert on nightsister zabarack breeding rituals in before we buy this...
(Like pawn stars)

That is not a canon anymore. Only "legends". Plagueis, Bane - thats all.
Untill CG start making non canon heroes.

The likely reason everyone wants synergy between the two is because Savage is just not very good. The protection update really ruined his special, and his leader ability is pretty underwhelming compared to other Sith.
If anything, I think they should rework his kit a bit:

• While Basic damage isn't great, it's is fine IMO for an attacker with a mountain of health and for an attack that inflicts a debuff. Leave it as is.
  
• Overpower's damage can never be evaded, and does massive damage if the target's health is less that 25% plus Savage's potency. Does 10% more damage per buffed enemy. Gives crit change/damage up on finishing blow as usual.
  
• Change "Pain is Weakness" from a leader ability to a Taunt special ability. A random ally gains the TM he would get from his unique when he takes damage, instead of Savage gaining TM (which you don't want for a taunter).
  
• Keep his unique as is, except for the changes noted above when Taunting.
  

I'd put him back in my team as a tank under Emp P in a heartbeat with a kit like that.

I faced a Savage Opress today in the arena under an EP lead and he wasn't too shabby. He gains massive health from apply his buff and when you damage him and he gains TM he can be very overwhelming if you aren't careful. He's a good filler for people who need someone under an EP lead

+1

Savage should recieve some kind of Taunt, under certain conditions, when paired with Maul. Makes sense and he has the HP/Pro for it. I think that alone, with maybe a few other minor tweaks and/or synergy bonuses, would get him much more gameplay. And with the DarkSide getting their turn in the spotlight now would be the time.

Also Overpower could either get a damage boost or a requisite change (50%) if Maul is defeated. Something like that
