Mods review for Emperor Palpatine

personally i'm partial to the way i have him modded because i tried some websites way and he totally **** for me. but i will check yours out.

not bad. i personally run 4 critical damage with critical damage as most of their primary's and 2 health mods.

but yours isn't far off. i might have to try it.

So we are not far off at all. I am guessing the health mods are used b/c those are top-notch mods, not because you specifically wanted health mods on him? I write the mod guides for the "best case scenario" with mods knowing not everyone has a ton of +30 speed and +36% CD mods sitting around. I know I use health and tenacity mods on some toons b/c of those arrows and triangles, but that is not always my ideal setup.

thats completely on the other end of the suggestion from the site i saw.

I mentioned the need for survivability multiple times over, so no it is not really. Health, protection and defense help him survive longer, thus we're in agreement. Plus, if his CC is 25% and CD is high, 75% of the time you are not getting big hits, thus the need for CC in the p3 scenario. Again, Palpatine is a tough one b/c he is used if differing ways.

I have my Palp modded for potency and speed. He has about 92% pot now. I am mainly running him just for tank raid. Do I not need that much pot?

I have EP nodded for crit chance and crit damage. Mods add 6.23% potency only and I get an occasional p3 resist. I also get an occasional Chirpa calling EP that balances it out.

ST Han and the tm gains from shocks r all u need. Potency and speed r not needed for p3. Offense, crit chance and crit damage r your bread and butter.

How do you get away with the shameless self promotion?

How well are you scoring? Heroic I assume?

@Dreislao - Is that question to me?

@Dreislao - checking again. I'd be happy to answer you if indeed that was directed at me.

So formula to resist a negative status effect is: Enemy Tenacity - Your Potency = Chance to Resist (but cannot be less than 15%).

That being said, what is the optimal potency for Palp (or anyone, really) in arena?

The best tenacity I've seen usually runs in the 65% range, so am I correct in thinking anything over ~50% potency would be a waste? This is especially applicable under an Palp lead, with an extra 32% potency baked in.

@Winter & @Dreislao - I addressed you both. If you could answer my questions I would appreciate it.
