Zader vs Rancor

You need to add an actual tmr character like Rex or Magna trooper in there to go along with Zader 20% tmr 50% chance lead

Imo, you need rg instead of dooku. His speed down is helpful. That's the team I solo heroics with. Other than that , it's probably gear level, potency and speed

Also with that team, pigs are a little harder than the rancor

Put QGJ in for dooku.... His assist special reduces TM as well as his basic.... I solo with that team on auto....

Gear and speed is huge. The more often you can hit the rancor, the more TM you can take away. And the more damage you do per hit, the fewer hits are needed to kill it and thus fewer chances for the RNG to screw you over. Potency isn't an issue if you have all Empire/Sith (unless you want to inflict Speed Down) since their TMR can't be resisted if it procs. Even if you have non-Sith/Empire, you don't need potency if TFP is modded for crit chance.

I run Zader, Sid, TFP, Rex and QGJ and have been doing pretty well so far. It easily handles the whole raid on manual. I've only run it twice on auto: the first time finished it and the second time died early in P4.

Thank you all for the help. I will put magma or royal in whichever I can gear 9 first. I will put speed mods on them as well.

Do you need to have potency on TFP or is Crit Chance enough? I assume the Tenacity Down can still be resisted from TFP's crits if he doesn't have potency?

Run RG instead of Dooku, dooku can actual hurt more than help.. speed down and gives other toons more survivability. I solo heroic with Sid palp RG & TFP

You don't need Potency to land Tenacity Down. Just need to crit

You don't really need Magma to be at g9 for him to be effective. As long as you've got fast mods on your team they really won't take too many hits.

I ran a T7 rancor raid with Zader (g11, 189 speed), TFP (g11, ~245 speed), EP (g11, 220 speed), Rex (g8, 196 speed) and Sid (g8, 202 speed). Both Sid and Rex were g8, and Rex was the only one to lose protection and he lost it against the pigs. But as others have said, you do really need someone with a guaranteed TMR to get you through the first phase you start in unless your mods are amazing for everyone's speed.

My rex speed clearly needs work all the rest are gear 9 or 10 and about 200 speed
