Thinking of building Maul (L) arena team once I get the last zetas I need. I have gear X Palp and Zader and have 4 star Darth Nihilus that is at gear VIII. Would you put sith trooper or assassin in with this mix?

Sith Assassin helps greatly with TM manipulation but Sith Trooper is a good tank and none of the other Sith you have are Tanks (Vader doesn't really count). How fast are your Sith? You ideally want SA to go first (and she will unless modded poorly) followed by EP, Vader then Zaul (Zeta'd Maul). Sidious would be a good fit in here in place of Nihilus with his Expose on Special attack (Omega'd) and should be slowed enough to come after Vader but before Zaul (Zaul's AOE then could presumably kill half the enemy).

I'm think about using GK when I unlock him. He's a PITA and more people run him than SA on my Nov 15 shard

Yea trooper is great!! He dodges all the dispells and even if he does get dispelled, he can easily regain taunt back!! I would totally drop Vader and look into Zavage eventually. He makes zaul teams really fun!!Nihilus in an all sith squad is very important because of his dispell. Also if you do have Nihilus you could potentially drop ep to pick up a stronger sith that doesn't rely on rng. Right now I run zaul/Zavage/zooku/ep/gkGoing for zaul/Zavage/zooku/Nihilus/trooperGk is alright in the squad but trooper would be better because he has a higher dodge chance and you can trigger his taunt.

I am running, EP G10 (L), Maul G10, Vader G9, Boba G10, and Sith Trooper, 3* G9. Everyone else is 7*. Sith trooper is the reason for my success. No I may not always go first but my Boba throws ability block down and then EP's special gives taunt. From there its game over.

For Zaul Arena team - Sith Trooper or Assassin?

So as a droid user i will tell ya that going first is all that matters. Providing your other toons have got some nutsaks...

SA is far from "just taking up space" Her attacks ignore protection for the most part, and she stuns, and she is always in stealth and she has foresight, and and and. She is much more than just taking up space.

SA is key if you want a solid build. Look at the squad from the standpoint of Maul, SA, DN, x, x and go from there. I would honestly not pick Vader, he just doesn't fit. Palp is great for his shock and aoe stun chance, savage actually works well, sith trooper can work well but GK can easily be your tank as well.

I don't have GK but I do have savage (need to gear/level as he is currently gear VII and level 57). So my squad would be Zaul, Emp P, Savage, Sith Assassin and Sith Trooper. (I think I need a credit heist :) )

You really need Sith Assassin, I'd drop Savage for SA. If you want to play Savage then try dropping Palp.

Zaul, Emp P, Sith Assassin, Sith Trooper and who should be the fifth?

Yeah, you have to take her out fast. If you ignore he she will stun and then her TM ability will come around quickly. And the second time she could have 5 buffs, which means 62% TM gain to al the siths. I don't recommend ignoring her.

And potentially a 20K+ crit that ignores protection.

If you're planning on running a full sith team, you're gonna need Sith Trooper (Probably want both honestly), but if you have other tanks like GK or Baze then you could get away with just using SA.

I read that SA stops gaining speed after 4...is it 4 or 3 stars where she stops gaining?

No character gains speed from stars. A 1* SA and a 7* SA at the same level of gear will have the same speed ( before mods)
