Anyone try this? I feel like the health regen will cleanse and counter the plague. Currently torn on my next gear and considering Sith for the sake of DSTB, Sith Raid, Arena (NS counter), and TW (a generally decent team).Otherwise I’m considering an Empire based EP (DSTB, TW)Or NS themselves (TW, NS counter, not DSTB since Zombie is 4*)

I was actually just contemplating this same thing (DN lead) downside is, they aren't really the best against the other metas, sadly. There is one person in the top 50 in my shard hanging on to DN though, but he uses DN, Dooku, SiT, GAT and I believe EP.

I haven't tried much recently but it works ok. I have zeta DN lead though. If health steal would be enough without then not so sure.

DN lead does very well against NS. DN, Palp, Vader, Dooku, Savage. You stun the heck out of anything that moves, and have 3 that can wipe out Acolyte whenever she comes out of stealth, or stun her and wait. Aoe will fully heal and cancel plague. Very effective.

Yeah, he’d be terrible if left on defense. I’d have to switch him out afterwards. That might even be the setup that I choose too, idk. Maybe not GAT, but possibly.

Its just so strange, you would think healing 100% (or 150% with zeta) of damage dealt would be great on defense no matter who it is against!

Too easy to counter. Health immunity, Daze on SiT, not to mention that you can easily kill one of them off before they had a chance to steal health

It is. Problem is most Sith don’t do enough damage and tend to be slows. In high end arena Rex, CLS and R2 killed them mainly because they are reliant on debuffs which Rex cleansed, and the Counters of CLS meant any AOE was a death sentence. I actually think a team of DN lead, Vader, Palp, Sith Trooper, and GK could be effective because you’d protect your Sith with the two tanks and Taunt and with GKs assist and retribution they could probably work.

Based off my experience (and I haven't a toon too g12 yet) I don't think it'll be enough to keep plauge off assuming equal mods. Nightsisters are real stun heavy and that'll take a big ugly dump on that crucial first turn of healing.

That said, I do think Nihilus lead will win most of the time tho. Between DN, EP and DV they'll be plenty of aoe, so Acoylte will have a hard time. Add Sass and stir in one more Sith.
