The lead seems a bit broken with Vaders lead being active but I really like the idea of the shock not being able to be dispelled and feel like it fits with the story line also. Also to add on to crackling doom, whenever palpatine falls below full health or is critically hit RG taunts

I tried to calculate my Darth Vader's HP/PR after this added bonus. My calculator caught on fire.

My repost from the other EP thread:Honestly he's fine as it is.I was thinking of something to help his glaring weakness which is his health/defense.Unique Zeta Crackling doom. For each shocked enemy, increase health and defense by 25%, and everytime crackling doom triggers drain that much damage into HP.Pretty OP, but also easily circumvented. A shock/Stun/health block/tenacity up all counter it.Only issue would be P3 where Palp may survive to enrage. So maybe nerf it to half values all around. 12.5% health/defense/half damage drained to HP.Leader Zeta: in addition, -32% crit chance and crit damage to rebel and Jedi enemies. All empire/Sith allies do 20% more damage to shocked enemies.

I like your suggestion for his unique, increasing his health without his leader ability would make him better on his own for use in other teams

His zeta unique Fixes thrawns AI when EP is present.

Was thinking a cool lead ability for palp would be where all sith and empire allies ignore foresight and tenacity up. Could be a counter to Rex and his tenacity up and the Jedis foresight but they can still cleanse so it wouldn't be completely broken. Also, palpatine is a decent toon but still has room for two zetas. R2 and Yoda have two zetas why shouldn't palp get his to end the faction pass?

Please, stop asking for Empire buffs, you've had yours already

Not much compared to what the sith got. And the best toon to come out of the empire pass may still be R2.

But you have still got your empire buff, it's time for you empire fanboys to stop. Give Republic some love, or maybe Separatists. Just no more Empire passes.

Not necessarily? Almost all of the ideas I've posted for characters have been for the Clone Wars, I didn't know Empire wasn't liked as much. Anyways he's going to get a level 8 zeta or omega eventually, like every other character who had their abilities stuck at level 7

Sure, let's give one of the toons who already has the most complete kit in the game a ZETA. Seriously? This suggestion isn't quite as laughable as the people who asked for Chaze and Rex Zetas but it's close.

It's already been said that the suggested ability would be overpowered, but I'll try and fix that
