Thoughts on Sith Assassin?

Looks like she benefits greatly from speed and TM gain b/c of the stacking buffs.

Leader synergy: Palp and Maul. Palp will help land dots (stun and evas down) which benefits TM gain. Maul will help with stealth and TM gain from evasion, which she'll get from foresight. Maul might be better for her.

Mods, I'd say speed is huge. She is slow and needs to attack often to get those buffs.

Thanks for the reply.

Maul was what I was thinking as well, especially paired with that double stealth. I'd like to throw in Sidious and maybe Sith Trooper for additional synergy. Speed seems like a most for her, then perhaps, crit.

Can't wait to try her!

I wouldn't say 151 base speed is "slow", by any mean. She's in the Top 15 of speed. Faster than Boba, for instance. Or faster than Poe or Poggle, who were famous for being quite fast. Just because she's not "TFP fast" or "Leia Fast" doesn't mean she's slow.

The problem is that speed is so important in this game that anything slower than the top 5 is regarded as sluggish.

But yes, otherwise, as usual, load her with speed mod and she will benefit of it. Seems like she has a really interesting kit, with tons of micromanagement about her buff and debuff, she seems fun to play.

That's just it. She seems like a ton of fun to play. I'm curious about how her modifiers play out in execution vs paper.

Yes! Love the synergy that I can see between her and Maul, it makes me wish I had Maul geared and zeta'ed

Hopefully videos will be posted of it, it might make me want to zeta maul.
I mentioned it in another thread, but it's sad how she has more synergy with Maul than Savage... haha

It's making me want to zeta maul because of that :(

Exactly, so many decisions for Zeta and it makes it all the worse since it takes about 2-3 weeks to get enough for another.

to be honest out of the 3 i'm most excited about sith assassin. i'm not at all crazy about sith trooper and it seems i won't be interested in nilihus with him removing critical damage from allies.

On the same boat with you, I'm really excited to see Sith assassin after looking at her ability kit.

I think I'm gonna run a team with Maul(L) Savage, Sith Assassin, Vader,and Palpy
That team to me sounds prettty dominant.

i'm thinking

emperor lead
vader
rg
sith assassin
dooku

That is a great team but sith trooper would make it better. He is better than RG in a sith squad. If your palp and or dooku is fast enough the sith trooper will start the match with taunt and retribution. Plus he shoots thru protection and drops a lot of dots. Which works nice with palp lead
