Darth Nihilus lead

Savage is still useful under a DN lead though the HoTs won't work for him. Kylo is not a bad choice since he adds another stun element to this comp and benefits from EP's heal (drops Kylo below 100% health so way more damage done). Boba is an all-around good toon but i don't see where he'll fit in here. StH...he adds a taunt to your squad but Sith trooper is much better in this comp.

How's your speed mods? I was running that same comp for a while, but I found that my mods weren't good enough at higher levels. I added Shore trooper for his auto taunt. Helped me survive the initial onslaught before I got trooper running.

Sith assassin is still useful in DN though she truly excels in a Zaul lead. Not hard to push her past 250 speed.

That's exactly what I was concerned with. I have plenty of potency but lack in speed. I have a potency mod with a 19 speed primary stat and enough speed mods for 2 characters. My mods are OKAY and do the trick but aren't anything special.

@CleverWes I don't have Shore but what about royal guard? He will help Palp survive with his auto taunt. He'd pretty much just act as a sponge but also has a stun

I wanted to use STH because of the tm

I used to use STH, but there are now too many dispellers and the occasional Zaul team dazing everyone from him to be worth while.

Sith Assassin will give just as much TM if not more, plus she is faster and doesn't need to taunt to give out TM. Plus the AI can't mess her up and taunt right before Nihilus uses his basic, which means you'll do better on defense.

put zylo in. i use dn ld, ep, zavage, zylo, r2 and can get 1st

RG's taunt alone isn't enough to protect EP. Any time that EP can be targeted, there is a possibility that he may be killed in one hit by some imbalanced super attack like the Wiggs team-up. Too many times you'll just end up with an RG who taunted after EP already died.

You can't risk leaving EP vulnerable to direct hits because it'll just attract people whose squads are fast enough to kill him on the first turn, knowing it'll be a 4 vs 5 battle right from the start. That's why EP needs a tank who will taunt before EP gets attacked -- meaning either the taunt goes up before the battle begins (Shoretrooper, Baze) or extremely early (ideally a Sith Trooper teamed with a fast modded Sith Assassin or Dooku).

Either a preemptive taunt, or EP needs to hide behind a group stealth ability like Maul's zeta leadership or R2-D2's special ability.

I didn't realize Sith Troopers taunt acted the same as RG's. Definitely using him
