Royal Guard viable in pvp now?
With the rework of his special taunt being a guarantee, along with his turn meter gain every time someone else gets hit, can he be a viable Dps stopgap for pvp matches? He's got a nice deep health poo...

Will he taunt right after the ally falls below 50% or at the start of RG's turn? If the former, does the taunt only last until it is RG's turn (a 1 turn taunt)?
Triqui, I see your point, but that is just one case. If RG is hiding high speed / high dps, it changes. It also requires the other team to have decent AOE to hit behind the RG
It is not 1 case, it is always. The difference between RG and Poe is that RG let you use your chars. Old Poe didnt. No matter what chars you put in the example, being able to use them is better tha not. You could hide Leia, GS and friends behind RG, but I still can use my own LeÃa, and stealth. Or use my own Daka, and ressurrect the guy you killed. Or use my Poggle to buff, or my Yoda to give tenacity to my team. With old Poe, you clicked a button, then you did 5 things in a row, then it is my turn to try to do something with whstever half dead team you left me. That was the real power of Poe, and the reason why he had to be nerfed. There is nothing wrong with a fast tank who could taunt and protector other chars. That is expected from tanks. The problem was with a fast living Time Lord who could warp the space-time continuum in a blink.
I think RG will be great, and add a lot to the game in forma of new options. Poe was disruptive.
