Sith
Hi all, So- it seems likely that February will be a month of all things Sith. Seems for the time I've been playing they've not got a lot of love. From my impressions - they seem sturdy but not real...

they have great kits but stayed behind because of stats. the ridiculous power creep killed them. (and R2, that obviously helped the stats of the his allies)
i mean, look at that. Palpatine : AoE stun, Shock, gaining TM, and very powerful leader ability. his problem ? his damage is too weak, he's too squishy, and he's not fast enough. his kit, overall, is amazing, and very useful, shock, stun, TM gain, bonuses for Hp and potency ? sign me up! but too low stats.
its not only "Sith" problem - look at plo koon. he's way ahead of his time... he have anti-stealth synergy, dispels, buffing and giving TM. but when he was released ? where we had no protection in this game even. he couldn't fit in a meta of glass cannons at all, it was all about speed and damage, and not utility. when the game did required some utility, plo was so behind in stats, that he couldnt be useful. So palp are in "good shape" compared to others, lol.
Maul suffers the same - very slow, very squishy - with amazing Leader ability (even vs R2) and crazy unique. AoE daze that can help counter ANY meta team currently. but stats deny him from doing so.
DN need to be hidden to be effective. its hard without Sith team, he supports them best... its the same with SithTrooper. without lot of siths around him, he's not a big deal. SA lacks unique, badly. great 2 specials, great synergy with stealth, but need a unique that will give him SOMETHING.
but i think the biggest example are Vader and Sidious. both described as attackers, but lack serious damage. Sidious, especially with zeta, have some cool things - evasion, heal, tm gain, potency bonus... but his damage is so weak that he's irrelevant. vader the same - he's tanky, but all of his mechanics are completely outdated - DoTs are useless in PvP, his basic is sad, and his saber toss is useless without the DoTs. a good unique with a huge buff on basic will be able to change it.
if i need to rank them (if Z / L in name, they need the zeta or Leader spot for this rank): DN , Zaul L , Zavage, Palpatine, SA , SithTrooper, Zader L, Zooku, zSidious.
