Hk-47 or IG-88 first?

I'd say go with HK, since he's going to be the leader of your squad eventually.

When I started my droid army I stuck with HK then sharded up 88. It worked. HK is a good one to stick to first, his leadership skill in invaluable.

Poggle as a droid team leader does not work?

I don't have poggle yet, lol. The droid team is all amount high damage crits, its their speed which is the downfall.
I wouldn't say it wouldn't work, poggld's buff skill would help immensely. Follow your own path dude, it'll be more rewarding.
What's his leadership skill like when improved?

Poggle as leader works, yes, but HK as leader is better. You end up with a much higher damage output.

He's not even close to HK47. 30% turn meter per crit is an awesome skill

there is a guy on my server who runs Poe/poggle/88/86/hk47 and it's a beating. Poe exposes and slows down the other team and tanks while the droids melt face. The deceptive thing is his squad is about 2k weaker in power level because they aren't fully geared but the buff synergy is far superior. I expected any easy rank up but got my worst loss ever in arena from that comp. now I steer clear lol.

88 is of course one of the most powerful AOE-ers in the game, but I think he's a bit overrated.

I'm planning on doing Poe, Poggle, and eventually 86; but not 88 and 47 because the first three have utility on multiple team comps, but the latter two don't as much (88 somewhat, 47 not at all).

@Remorhaz yeah sounds like a great lineup. I wish I coild face it just to see how well it works. I haven't run into one droid lineup on my server and I'm in the to top 100 now so I was worried it waant one of the better squads to run with.


@ioniancat21 makes sense. Thanks!

Max out 88 first, always max out DPS characters first.
