Here's the scenario. I'm currently running a Zaul lead with SA, ST, EP and DN.- Its a solid team and I'm not having any trouble at the moment with my shard.- I'm planning to use my next Zeta soon on Nihilus.- My original plan was to zeta his leader ability and switch to a Zihilus team- Nobody in my shard currently has a zeta toon, though I see some folks about to switch to sith teams, with the possibility of using a Zaul lead in the coming weeks - though their sith toons aren't as developed as mine in terms of gear and modsSo the question is - since Zaul is working for me and based on the above circumstances, would you suggest that I opt to zeta Nihilus' unique in favor of his leader ability? Note, before I was running Zaul I was running a DN led team of SA, ST, EP and Dooku (all maxed out in gear and mods) and was doing fine, even though some of my competitors were inching up in the speed race. Using Zaul puts them firmly out of reach at least for a few weeks.What do you guys think is best? Zeta DN's unique or his leader and go back to using a Zihilus lead? Thanks!

His unique zeta is a little pricey for the first zeta.That's just me though, it falls in the same boat as boba, I will one day but there are others that are more useful.

Personally I would keep the zMaul lead, zeta savage next and then the DN unique if It still makes sense to do so at the time. Replace EP with zSavage and it sounds like you will be tops in the shard for awhile.

I would stick with his unique ability it's a pretty safe bet. You already Zeta Darth Maul and Darth Nihilus works well with him. Darth Nihilus leader ability is not working out so well in my shard for others. I personally find Darth Nihilus leader easy to beat personally.

That's a good call. It's not urgent to Zeta Nihilus now.But I suppose the question also is - how big of an impact does the unique zeta have in a zaul team?

I use the same team, but boba instead of st. I considered doing dn unique, but I'm leaning towards savage as my next. He's a real pain to fight. Dn unique is somewhat annoying, but nowhere near savage imo. Personaly I wouldn't switch to dn lead. ZMaul is just too good

DN's unique seems to be a luxury zeta... not necessary for any team and not game changing like zaul or zylo... but at the same time it is still really helpful and will put your team in that next level category if you already have zetas on your primary toons

Nihilus is tough no matter what, but a Zeta on Savage is soon tough to beat it sucks. Been fighting Zavage in the Top 10 of my shard for a few weeks - I avoid him when I can and Annihilate him when I have to.

Nihilus Zeta will be the thing that carries him through to the next meta, but I think Zaul will be here for a while, so like many are saying Savage would probably keep you firmly in the top for a while by using the zeta on him. Just make him a big offensive threat so he's not just a leftover annihilate chunk of health.

Nihlus unique is amazing btw, anyone knocking it doesn't have it. It applies whenever an enemy takes a turn, can you think of any other unique zeta that sees that much use? Health down is underrated and makes life easier. I see a lot of talk about savage, and while he is good, he only fits with sith. Nihlus will be around for the next meta, savage? Not so much
