Interesting side note about R2, number crunch zetad seems to restore some protection to my droids every node in galactic war. I usually beat it with just my droids, start with hk, 88, 86, K2, and JE. Sub B2 in for JE node 2, Sub R2 in for B2 node 3, Then usually run with that comp until node 11 or 12 unless I need to sub in B2 for one. I may sub in JE for 10, or 11 to heal a few people.
It's not R2 that restores the protection. After each galactic war node your team recovers a small % of their protection
Well my half health characters never had their protection restored in between matches before I ran with R2. He does increase protection for the droids. I wouldn't be surprised if it was giving it out in the fashion I have described. Otherwise that would just be some freaky timing with updates.
So I have been able to regularly beat at least one zeta maul team now. No sith assassin or Savage. One non-Sith. I beat it running HK, R2, K2, B2, & JE. I haven't been able to make a proper starting turn order, but it should certainly be: R2. B2. K2. HK.
R2 goes first and drops burning to get rid of evasion. This is an unevadeable attack that is happening while they are stealthed so they are guaranteed to not gain tm at this point. B2 goes second and buff wipes and drops buff immunity. They're likely to all go after this if they have Sith Assassin and most of them without her. K2S0 goes next to Daze whichever toon with buff immunity you wish to eliminate. From there it's a crit fest on that toon with no fear of stealth, dodging, or tm gain until they die.
Go ahead and drop AoE's on cooldown. Hold back on HK's at first if it seems like you're giving out too much tm. R2 and B2's debuffs are essential though, so should be spammed on cooldown.
With a Sith Assassin in group it becomes much harder, but only if she ends up being faster than Jawa Engineer. Once 200 speed is reached, SA will go first at equal character panel speeds under a Zeta maul lead, but Jawa Engineer really doesn't need that much more speed than her to go first anyway. As long as he does, it'll end up being a decent match I think.
