My guild launched the raid tonight. I timed my total raid playtime. I wasn't trying to do a speedrun, I played like I normally do, I took the time I needed to think through which abilities to use on which target. I got max scores with every team. Brackets show total time at the time of hitting "Submit" for each team.
Team 1: Tarkin/Scorch, R9 tier, one attempt (02:00)
Team 2: JMMW, Depa, TG, Shaak, Aayla, R8 tier, one attempt (05:22)
Team 3: KB, JN, Barriss, QGJ, Plo Koon, R8 tier, one attempt (08:42)
Team 4: BB2, R7 tier, 5 or 6 attempts, I didn't count (20:18)
Team 5: Maz, Hondo, SM-33, Ithano, Quiggold, R3 tier, one attempt (24:57)
The only team that tries my patience is BB2 because like I said, they're garbage in the raid below the R9 tier. So let's say that's 12 annoying minutes out of 25, once a week. I'm willing to spend 12 annoying minutes to lock in 11.7mln points. I will put more relics on my Pirates, and guild scores improve over time, so I might be able to drop the BB2 run entirely or at least do it on a lower difficulty with a team that's over-reliced for that tier.
My point is, I'm certainly not spending 3 hours doing several hundred attempts with the KB team.
skimp on raid relics and try to max score with a duo/trio team <<<<<<<<<<<<< build the relics for a full team
