The Galactic Sith Players Discussion

Look people- You don't need a tank/taunt anything for Zaul.

I hold rank 1 on Dec shard with Zaul, EP, Vader, B2 and Kylo.

Once these toons are out it'll look like Zaul, EP, Nilly, Kylo and Vader/Assassin switchable.


I literally only drop to rank 3 or 6 over night and just insta win climb back up. The big improvement is Nilly with the ability to remove crap on basic, thankfully allowing Sith to not rely on B2.

YOU DO NOT NEED A TAUNT. The whole point of Zaul is to dance in and out of Stealth. Everyone keeps forgetting they have Old-Ben meta dodging that gives them guaranteed crit and TM. YOU WANT TO DODGE! You do NOT want your Shoretrooper to waste a slot just soaking hits. Your SITH are supposed to soak hits. The sith trooper is INTERESTING but by no means required.

No dodge = no TM gain.


As for Vader: Stop under estimating a G11 maxed Vader culling blade under Zaul. Guranteed crit. Guaranteed 30k damage. Guaranteed dead toon. He gets plenty of speed boosts if you allow your sith to DODGE.

If you come across another hyper fast speed team, swap out with Assassin for the JE-like boost.


Why Kylo? G11 zKylo is the only "reliable" target. By all means, funnel enemy attacks into him.. he only gets STRONGER and FASTER and deadlier as they ping him.

Want another 30k crit attack? Use EP to lower his health and let him go to work. zKylo can certainly be swapped out for another sith, but ideally you want some guy who will never go into Stealth. I'd rather take zKylo over the Sith Tank Taunter. Sith Tank Taunter can't do 30k hits and actually messes up your flow.

New Sideous can replace Vader.


I like the Assassin/Savage combo, but you have to deal with Foresight.

Good advice imo, I may scrap the idea of sith trooper once I can get kylo lvld and geared up! I have a 5* g9 kylo on my alt account and he is already a beast, I really like your idea.

Yes starting turn is 1.25X speed

Yes

No problem :)

@Noktarn As far as bringing a Taunt goes on a zMaul team, I suppose that makes sense...but if you can, would you mind explaining something to me?

My plan is to zeta Maul's leader ability this weekend. I already upgraded to Sid's zeta as well. It shouldn't be difficult at all, with Maul's 20% TM gain at the start of the battle, to mod them so they are the first two heroes to act. Sid uses Demoralizing Blows and hopefully Exposes multiple enemies...followed up by Maul's Whirling Blades, it just seems like an incredibly powerful way to start a battle. Does this sound about right? Is there a "better" opener/comp for Sith, as far we've been able to tell?

As far as filling out the rest of the squad goes...I understand that you don't necessarily want to bring a Taunt, but how risky is it to bring five Sith (essentially negating the Stealth buff they all get to start the battle)? Seems like any team with Wiggs can just target down one of your squishier heroes. Is the evasion buff that reliable? Sorry...I didn't play during the last Evasion meta, and do not run up against hardly any zMaul comps on my leaderboard.

As far as Sith go, here is what I'm working with:

• Vader - G11 (no zeta, no omegas)
  
• Maul - G11 (no zeta, omega on AoE)
  
• Sidious - G11 (Maxed)
  
• Palpatine - G11 (Maxed)
  
• Dooku - G10 (no zeta, no omegas)
  

I'm just trying to figure out how to spend upcoming zetas and omegas, and how to assemble a Sith team capable of rising to #1. My leaderboard is chock full of zVader & Wiggs + Chaze + GK comps right now...and just applying what I know about what those teams from my experience fighting them every day, my zMaul + zSid idea seems like the ideal opener.

REJOICE fellow sithicans, they expected the potential stealth bug under maul lead and assassins stealth will NOT be overwritten by a dodge or crit under maul. She will maintain stealth

Just from the event I can already tell assassin is must have for zaul team. Dark shroud gives the team huge TM.

I really only wanted to lvl nihlus but now I'm torn. Argggh.

I'm Thinking sith Assassan and Savage are huge compliments to each other. With Assassans ignore protections skills makes it easy to get to get someone down to half health so Savage can just one shot them.

I'm thinking
Zaul L
SAss
Savage
Nihilus
Dooku/Palp

That team should be able to go first most of the time if modded right, and I cant think of many other teams that would put up a solid fight. Any toons that would rly give you trouble you should be able to kill immediately especially if you run palp and he can get expose up

What would hold this team up?

I can't help but think that nihilus talia would be good, even though she can't heal, some talias can do some pretty good damage and her health steal is already good, so she'd be pretty hard to kill right?

Not a bad theory but I think there are so many other toons in the game that just have a much better kit to pair with nihilus than talia

Only way I'll use night sisters is if they release Mother Talzia as a charater hint hint @EA_Jesse
