I'm really liking the new basic, and special.
Assassination Protocol is a hit and miss for me, the cooldown is greater than Darth Nihilus' Annihilate and harder to reduce, whereas the other guy can one-shot anyone. I'm glad we are staying away from that level of power. I hope it hits very hard to justify it and that the AI prefers to use it on Deathmarked or fear targets
I really love the Self-Reconstruction rework.
Dislikes:
-Relies on Darth Revan to be on the leader slot. I understand the counter to power creep is to make toons super weak outside leader slot and just painstakingly powerful as leaders but it only gives toons like HK a short term longevity. Would've been nice if HK had some of those bonuses without Darth Revan and it was doubled or tripled if DR was present (to its current zeta stats) rather than only applicable if DR is present and in leader slot
-TM gain from leader is very insignicant. 10% is just very bad but I don't care about his lead so its meh
-Assassination Protocol requires fear or deathmark for CD decrease and his kit doesn't have any means to do so on its own. Would've been nice if he was more flexible enough to work with T3, or other Old Republic allies.
As others pointed out he is only useful if Darth Revan is present and not that impressive in other teams. Like others, I was hoping he was useful in a Carth led OR team
If Revan also has an ability that inflicts fear then it could be reduced pretty quickly.
Revan's lead according to the in-game message box was that defense is sacrificed for offense. Another way to reset cooldown is if a Sith Empire ally is defeated. I think this is a pretty significant interaction. Defense is meaningless in PvP from what Crumb said w.r.t. General Greivous lead.
I think its going to be like lose 50% defense and gain 150% offense or whatever. Bastilla Shan Fallen gives +50% defense to leader and herself. HK Gains +50% defense with DR lead. I think HK's role would be like Jolee, where if you ignore him and kill some other toon, his cooldowns reset and with the offense boosts you are getting from Darth Revan lead it could be significant. It all depends on how hard this attack hits. I am more interested in a high offense HK doing a true damage AOE
