Vader Speed Discussion

I got lucky and pulled a +18 speed secondary from a 4 dot mod from the mod store last night. Moved another mod around and added 10 speed to my Vader so he is now 240 instead of 230. I was excited. Usually hover 30-70 range before.

I lost every single game today against Sion/Nihilus combo. Yes, I know how they work, and for a week or so tried to open with a basic on Nihilus against slower teams. I found that just using force crush anway usually worked out better. But now I am not sure. Should I drop 8 or so speed and put a potency cross on Vader, or just blame it on RNG?

So, what do you do against a slower Vader/Sion/Nihilus, how do you do it, and why? Discuss.

Opening with FC vs DN/Sion is a big chance, sometimes it works for you and sometimes it doesn't. Yeah it makes their DN go next, but on the other hand not all of your guys will have debuffs so they aren't guaranteed to reduce DN's Annihilate cooldown. I went through the same thought process as you, tried using the basic first on EP to prevent the stuns but found that in general I was better off throwing the DOTs out to get the TM train rolling. I'd chalk your experience up to RNG and keep going as is.
