Darth Nihilus Lead + Dooku then which Sith to invest in?

Hi,

Im only lv 47 and hit 1 in arena today, really appreciate the advice forum members have given me around gearing my toons to get this result.

I run a DN + Dooku team, and rotate between Vader, ST, RG and DS depending on whom I go against..many Lando teams on my shard running double chewy STH etc..

Upgrades now are costing more and I'm curious whether I need to be investing in my other sith toons namely DS or SA or Savage? DS feels very squishy and I'm scared to invest in him same with SA. Savage on the other hand seems less squishy and has a useful execute with equates to a massive heal with DN lead so would Savage be a better choice over DS with a DN lead and work towards dropping RG?

Cheers

    If you can, go sith trooper. He always gives me the greatest headaches when going against sith teams.

    The Sith Faction "being the best" is highly dependent on the age of the arena shard. You don't find too many Sith teams on older arena shards, especially since R2 has proved such a hard counter to zMaul leadership.

    zzDN SA SiT CD Zavage. Could also use EP in the last spot depending on who you are fighting.

    It seems top to bottom the Sith faction is the best. Nine toons and virtually any combination is a formidable team. The Sith that give me the most headaches are Savage, Dooku, Sith Trooper, and Palpatine and if I were making a Sith team, those would be four of the five I would use.


    Curious why you reckon Savage over SA or Vader or SD? Im thinking Savage also btw...mainly cause he seems less squishy....but the speed potential of SA so tempting...

    Cheers thanks for input. Funny how Vader doesn't get much of a mention it seems

    Thats my exact squad and yet I can't beat node 9 with CLS, R2(gear 12), Chaze and Raid Han. Annoys me to no end. My entire squad is gear 11.

    Yep, that's why I don't run that team in arena anymore. Time to stop trying to ice skate uphill.

    Sadly this is right. It's the dilemma for dark side players. If you can't beat them, then join them?
