I was hoping that Carth would be a great leader for the Old Republic and am disappointed with his leadership. I do find it interesting that he has 30% critical avoidance which is unusual for a leader of any faction. Hopefully, I am missing something that would make him a solid and fun leader since I like his character.I guess after all is said and done, I just don't want to talk about it.

Everyone is complaining, but this leadership is on par with bossk, zam, and kru. Its a great lead. Average of 3 to 6 dots per turn with the right lineup, so 9 to 18% protection and health regen per turn is very solid, thats a lot of durability. Carth, ordo, zaarbal, mission, and t3 seem like a good option.

Carth is a little lackluster right at this moment, I think the HK rework will finish it. Another source of DoT, plus deathmark maybe, and maybe some group buff on basic, like accuracy up and potency up or something. Leading mission, Zaalbar, Canderous, & HK, you'd have 4 sources of DoT (5 with Mission's zeta). With all those assists, you get even more DoTs. This team thrives on them. Then, after you kill one enemy, HK applies deathmark to another, and you start rolling. That said, the real MVP DoT team will be Zader with Mission, Zaalbar, Carth, and Wampa. Maybe sub in Canderous for mission.

I had to laugh after watching the GC videos. For someone implied to be a raid character, they show his team doing 600k in the easiest phase of the STR. That’s... a terrible score. What a great sales pitch!

I was wondering this as well, Most likely most of us already have sith raid teams going or a plan to get a team for each phase that would own those numbers on auto. So like, yeah. We must really be needing a HK rework to see him shine.

His lead seems pretty awesome to me. Why do people think its not good? Combo of Phasma and Bossk?

Disappointed he is not a scoundrel, but I am rusty on KOTOR. Always viewed him as a Han clone.

Atton Rand, the Pilot in 2 would be a scoundrel. Carth is a goody goody guy who becomes the general of the republic in 2, which is like the guy who as said above, hunts them scoundrels. A soldiers soldier.

And maybe its because of the other 2 leaders in comparison, with RJT... Finn's lead is still incredible in some area's, Wedges lead is awesome.. (though Rebels have many good leads) So I guess people were expecting something along those awesome lines, and instead we got this that I'm guessing will make more sense later on.

The big question I still have about his leadership is why critical avoidance? No other leader in the game that I am aware of has this particular boost and none of the OR characters to date have kits that specialize in this. I wonder if they are trying something new with him, a yet unreleased toon will take extreme advantage of it, or if they played "Spin the Leadership Bottle" and the bottle landed on critical avoidance.

Doesn't Traya have crit avoidance in her leadership?

Traya has crit avoidance in her lead

they've started using that in kits and toons some months ago. Zaalbar has some on a unique, as does Bindo. I'm sure there are others, but none from the top of my head.

Makes the toons tougher, as a lot of the hardest hitting arena teams in the game are crit heavy, without raising health (venerable to %health effects like JTR) and defense, which has diminishing returns (but still effective, just look at Bossk lead)

It works just fine, as Traya became meta. If you crit on them, you do less damage. If you don't crit, you do less damage anyways. Then Carth brings some tenacity along, because if you don't hit hard you probably rely on debuffs (but, not too much tenacity as this seems to be a good team, but not a meta team) and some potency for the almight DOT

Zaalbar also has a base 25% crit avoidance and stacking defense. Put a crit avoidance arrow on him under Carth and he will be extremely tough to kill.

Agree. He is a good leader for the Old republic characters.

So he is a good lead for the non Jedi Kotor toons. Carth, Z, mission, T3 and Ordo. 4 people that can apply DOTs with potency, tenacity and crit reduction buffed? Z with 90% crit reduction, healing from DOTS and Basic, and an Auto taunt? May not be arena viable but will be a solid team.

Ok Carth Lead + Zission and Zz + 2 is crazy good. I dont have his lead zetaed yet and dont have Ordo levelled yet but with Jolee and Bastilla as the + 2 people were getting 12 dots stacked on them. This is going to be a top notch defensive team. Adding Ordo will make it truly bonkers.
