Someone earlier asked about relic Dooku... mine is r5 and is phenomenal in Geo TB, and just fine in pvp modes. He's still just so, so squishy even with the health and defense boosts that if anyone uses one of the top 5-6 tiered teams against him if you've used him on defense then he just dies and can't do much. The damage has increased quite a bit though so on offense he can really be useful against quite a few teams. His shock is doing 65k+ damage and usually around 18-20k on his basic.

All in all I'm happy I upgraded Dooku, but there are still better options out there.

How do you have Dooku modded?

I've tried it about 10 different ways. Crit Damage, Offense, Speed + Potency, High Tenacity... no matter what you do you'll be lacking in one way or the other unless you have absolute God mods. And if you do, you're better off using them elsewhere rather than on Count Dooku because you'll still be too squishy in the end.

I disagree, my R7 Dooku hits for 40k on basic (60 with offense up) and I've had his special hit for 200k. I roll with an offense set, offense arrow and cross. CD triangle, protection circle. He's already fast, so speed isn't all that important.

I also have R7 Nest, fun for GAC. I save her for offense and typically get an easy clear on most b teams. R5 FOX is a blast with Hux. He's hitting at 60k on basic followed by 30k with Sith Trooper.

There's always someone who claims their Count Dooku is the greatest and can beat every team that's ever existed. It doesn't happen. If you bring him against a CLS squad, what happens? He gets obliterated in one Han/Chewie volley. Against Sith Empire? He can't do enough damage/survive long enough to do anything. Jedi Revan? Same. Grievous? Can't make a dent in the droids and one good Grievous hit wipes him out. Clones? If you don't have a lot of speed on yours then they are running circles around him and with one tenacity up buff from Rex your stuns do nothing.

Just because Dooku can handle ewoks or Carth teams doesn't mean he's a great relic character. He improves a lot over the G12 version, but it's not like you're getting anything near an elite level toon.

Actually I'm seeing pretty much exactly the same with my r7 Dooku. He is a beast from hell. In GA I use him mainly to solo entire g12 teams. Seriously.

Edit: Dooku is in fact by far one of the best toons in the game at r7. I thought people were catching up on this by now.
