@Mobewan Ok I can believe that the -35% potency from Palpatine lead brings it back to a level where mods can for a change make a difference, as you say. In that particular case yes, there is a race between tenacity on one side and potency on the other.
But it's still a very specific case. I often use a Palpatine lead squad in Arena now, but have no incentive to boost tenacity as a means to protect against CLS rebels, which is almost non-existent on my shard.
