Personally, I'd say that if you aren't killing the adds with R2's AoE, you are wasting actions taking out adds when you could be doing more damage to Nihilus himself. And since, as you say, that protection is worthless any other way, that means wasted damage. Also Sith Assassin only ignores protection with her special attack when stealthed. Her basic never ignores protection.

Her basic also ignores protection while she's stealthed.
"Easily prevented by bb8’s protection recovery and/or simply not letting them take turns." Doesn't really matter how you deal with the adds, this still applies. You can even use basics on them to prevent getting def down in the first place.

As for the % increase in damage from R2's cleanse, I'd say about 1 out of every 3 or 4 attacks on Nihilus is a basic while you have defense down at which point he gains enough protection to negate a hit, so something like 25-33%% more damage is what you should be getting by having R2's combat analysis zetad.

R2's combat analysis is, without a doubt, AMAZING for this phase of the raid. It adds more to this team than any other zeta period, though Rey's leader ability is a close second.

This explains your point of view. JTR lead is by far the most important zeta on that team, it's not even close. Not an opinion, that's a fact. We're talking about atleast doubling your dmg due to that 1 zeta.
When a Resistance ally uses a Special ability, all Exposed enemies lose 5% Turn Meter, which can't be Evaded or Resisted; When a Resistance ally uses a Special ability, if they aren't debuffed, reduce their Cooldowns by 1
It also explains why you think r2's zeta is so usefull, you're forced to do way more basics than players that do have JTR's lead zeta'd due to the CD reduction. The TMR is also key to do alot of damage and it also enables you to "controll" the adds.
In case you were just trolling, you got me ;)

Oh I have her lead zetad, but R2's combat analysis easily increases damage as much or more than that. The tm reduction is negligible especially against Nihilus with his stacking speed, and with all the assists the team has people rarely don't have defense down so their cooldowns don't get reduced frequently. R2's combat analysis is consistently increasing offense, whereas the JTR lead is only occasionally increasing offense in this raid.

I don't know what to tell you, you're just plain wrong. sorry. I suggest counting the times you're forced use a basic on nihilus with def down, it might not be as often as you think. Atleast you've left the improved survivability out of your comment this time, so i guess you've come to realize that i was right about that.

So it's not an opinion that the JTR lead zeta is worth less on this raid than it is anywhere else, whereas the R2 combat analysis zeta is worth more on this phase of this raid than it is anywhere else period.

I've never made any statements on how usefull the JTR lead zeta is in this raid compared to anywhere else, it's also completely irrelevant to this discussion. Same goes for the R2 zeta, but i've mentioned that it's an awesome zeta for other purposes.

I feel sorry for you that you have no idea how good R2's zeta actually is in this raid.

Do you really feel sorry for me, or is it just your way of saying you're superior to me? ;) It's kinda funny since you've been proven wrong multiple times during our discussion, points wich you conviniently left out in your further comments, yet you stubornly keep going. "Combat analysis" being a better zeta for p1 STR than "Inspirational presence", haha. Come on man.
Anway, even if you zeta'd "combat analysis" just for p1 STR, you've still got an awesome zeta for other purposes eventhough it doesn't help much in p1 STR. So no harm done.
