There's like 4 Zaul's top 10 where I am at. The one who runs Kenobi and another tank I can basically auto. I know what I'm talking about.

They all have high end mods, that's besides the point. IDK why I'm even challenging your suggestions. You will see players trying with tanks and no tanks.. and from experience, the tank-less Zauls will come out on top.

If you can't get your sith to go first, then I guess you are ganna' need a tank.

I definitely see your point and playing on a December server our top-10 has some deep rosters and solid mods and have seen a few variants to Maul squads. I don't doubt your success with the 5 DPS as it's obviously very aggressive, but it's not full-proof at all. It's probably the most mod dependent configuration possible for a Maul squad. You definitely need Palp going first and getting 3 to 5 stuns, 1 to 2 really won't by you enough unless you snag somebody important like their Palp, Vader (lead), TFP, etc. Problem is a Vader lead can counter pretty easily, especially if dodge RNG isn't working for you. Maul vs. Maul is incredibly RNG dependent, very volatile RNG because of the dodge, and a tank could end-up saving you. At this point my server is already 6 of 10 Maul and I see a mix of everything (5 dps, 1 tank + Savage, 1 tank and B2, etc). We really need to see Nihilus and what he brings to the table behind a Maul lead, along with how viable is it to promote SA to 7-star, how does Sith Trooper work with the group, if at all, etc. After this week we'll have seen Nihilus and have a good feel for how he interacts with the squad, but I think it's premature to say a Sith squad with one tank doesn't work. I've seen plenty of Maul with both and have beaten both. Don't forget, the meta on all servers is a little different too.
