5th for DR Team

So, I am about to get Darth Revan in a few weeks. I will be ready for Malak the next time he comes and will have enough guild event tokens to at least get him 6 stars. I am curious which toon to get for the 5th spot (DR, BSF, DM, HK, ?). I am between 2, either Sith Marauder or Sith Empire Trooper. I know SET is the more common choice as a tank, but SM's farm is easier. What would you recommend?
  • SM is great but only really at g13 or so. also, if your drev/dbast aren't the fastest, you need SeT to tank or opponent's dr will just fear yours and it's over. You can also run gmy to be faster than opponent's dbast and gba as an auto taunt (w/zeta. edit: can also use just use SeT as the taunter obv.) but they are needed for other teams (but this is a good set-up for arena if you don't have fast mods), and you lose the all SE bonus. So I would say SeT for now, depending on your speeds
  • I use Maruader, but I don't have a good strategy for faster DR's. Also, since nobody mentioned it...if you want to beat GAS, you'll use Han as the 5th. Stun Rex as the opener and then go to town with debuffs. You'll still lose 5v1/4v1 a good amount of the time, but at least you have a chance this way. B)

    Generally, if your Darth Revan is faster than the other team, Marauder is nice for the extra damage.

    If your DR is slower (especially in mirror matches - which you'll see a lot of in Arena), Trooper is great to keep the pressure off Revan and allow him to get his fear out there.

    You get feared even with SET in team...

    But you regularly want a pretaunting tank so you don't get completely destroyed against other DRs. Personally I use KRU (not complete waste of a farm) and GBA is even better, gearing him up allows Geo TB / Wat shards / great team both offense and defense in GAC/TW, more so than the FO(currently).

    There are different tactics to beat mirrors (on squad arena), where you can use fast GMY and so on
  • I should note, the comments in this thread are spot on. I've seen KRU, Geo Brood Alpha, and GMY as alternates and all work well against DR mirror. Marauder is best against Padme (I think?) because you can burst down Yoda/Anakin to proc Deathmark and Nuke Padme.

    Han is pretty much the only option against GAS that I've seen.

    If your DR is slower than the other guy's, you need a pretaunt for mirrors, otherwise your whole team gets Fear before you can do anything and you've lost the match before it even starts. Sith Empire Trooper obviously works and gets you the +50% crit damage bonus for a full Sith Empire team, but some people use Geo Alpha (tank can be resummoned if it dies, assuming you can keep Alpha alive) or Kylo Unmasked (basically immune to Drain Life).
