Best mods for Darth Malak

How do the defense mods help him when he should have 5+ stacks of ferocity on him most of the time? -75% defense/tenacity seems to make defense and tenacity sets pointless.

I put my Malak at 325 speed and DR at 324 speed. Any squad below a 324 speed DR gets their buffs striped from Sith Trooper and my DR will fear their entire squad.

Yep, speed. Beyond that focusing on protection, health and offense is my goal.

So an offense set and a health set with speed and protection secondaries?

That is what I am thinking for my first build. Seems to make sense with his kit as it is now...

I went, 2 health, 4 tenacity, speed secondary with Protection primary’s where possible.

You want tenacity so shock doesn’t land before he starts gaining bonuses. Speed obviously very important too

I did the same, with a speed primary arrow

Presumably you're going to be running him under DR, who's going to shoot his tenacity to hell anyway - seems like a waste to bother modding for it.

I was actually thinking that once he has his zetas, he might not need a ton of speed since he'll get bonus turns and his drain cooldown finished when his health dips anyway. Like I probably wouldn't do no speed at all, but it seems like you could focus more on giving him tons of health so he's tough to chew through even with Ferocity tanking his defense.

Well I went from 300+ to 1st in arena today so I’ll stick with it.... I run them with Sion being second fastest.... revan hits, Sion strips all bonus/tenacity, Fallen, hits her hers then shock, then HK one shots anyone, then Malak dies his thing and it’s over.
