Advice: Zaul or Zihilus?

I went back and forth on this and decided to give my second zeta to Maul. Nihilus lead was good but ran into issues with fast TFP and Boba.

Do zaul


This is coming from someone who has a max nihilus and runs zaul in arena

If you have all 5 toons over 200 speed towards 220's you might do well with zNihilus but if you don't they get stuned and miss out then they are too slow

Also sharing your team/gear lvl's and so on my help with a better advice

Oh yes sorry, here are the toons I was going to mix match with Zaul or Zihilus lead

Maul (gear) XI
Vader X
EP IX (close to X)
Shore X (close to XI)
TFP X (close to XI)
Dooku X (close to XI)

Forgot DN at X (near XI)

Sounds like Zaul is the way to go ... I can see how if my toons arent all above 220 that a DN lead might expose them

Here's a few vids of nihilus lead with a zeta unique . Fun team.

I have to say, having Dooku under a DN lead is fun for sure >:)

How does it hold on defense? It looks like it sustains well, but doesn't do much damage.

Sir Loki has insane mods btw :p

The benefits of zMaul at the start of an arena match are unparalleled in the game. The bonus turn meter, crit immunity and evasion make it so much easier for you to get good starts to matches. One thing I would caution you on is using Shore with a zMaul team, the crit immunity from shores taunt end up leaving alot of your Sith more exposed than they would be without it. If you have the option of using a different tank or going for another Sith, you might consider it. I really want zNihilus to be a strong lead but as of right now it is a tough thing to overcome the TM you give up with not using zMaul.
