Self preservation zeta for sith raid
Floating an extra zeta, been able to get 8% on p1 heroic and was gonna start saving for the Yoda team but I'm months off of that. Is self preservation worth it for sith raid ? My r2 tends to die first...

Cleansing as you crit means Nihilus never gets bonus protection and your team doesn't routinely take massive damage for attacking with basics whilst having defense down.
I don’t think this is correct.
It is though. Nihilus never gets bonus protection from JTR teams due to A: healing immunity preventing it at the start of his turns, and B: R2's auto cleanse preventing it when your characters attack him.
While you can still take damage for attacking him with defense down on you, it isn't routine because it'll never happen 2 turns in a row.
You don't take damage for attacking him with defence down. If you attack with defence down using A BASIC, Nihilus regenerates protection. Hence why tenacity and/or cleanse are key against Nihilus.
You need to reread his abilities. He regenerates protection AND you take damage. No need to belabor the basics part, I started by saying that and shortened it, it's in the quotes.
To be fair, you take damage to protection, which is basically irrelevant since he ignores protection anyway. Only place this would be relevant is in P4 since there's also Sion and BOW present.
It's less important in this phase for sure, but I wouldn't call it irrelevant. It still protects you from his basic and the adds. If those attacks were going right into your health bar right away this phase would be even tougher than it already is.
His basic doesn't ignore protection? It does so little damage I've never really noticed, and the adds really aren't an issue either. I've never come close to dying because of either of those issues. It's always either a mistimed annihilate or the AOE.
Granted I'm doing T5. Dunno about higher tiers. And with that said it's still a great zeta, just not sure I think the protection loss matters at all in P1.
