Who is the best Rex lead team really?

The most popular Rex lead team includes chaze, DN and GK. The main alternative is R2 instead of GK. The former is by far the most successful according to the meta report. Another poster (can't remember who) has all 6 at gear 11 and is adamant that R2 is better.

I've recently switched to Rex lead myself and haven't lost on offence. the GK team I've found really easy to beat although in fairness the teams in my shard only have him at 5 stars. The R2 team definitely harder to deal with from my experience and that's coming from a Rex team (not zmaul). A 3rd option is Kylo.

So who really is the best 5th member?

    I can easily beat Kenobi, but a well modded and fast R2 completely disrupts everything.

    I don't think you have to put any zetas on R2. Some of the guys in the top 10 on my shard run him @230+ speed and it's SOOOO annoying. The stealth, stuns, and burns are real lol.

    I just put my second zeta on R2 and switched his mods to get his speed above 250. I'll try him instead of GK with Rex, Chaze, and DN. Hopefully R2 will be fast enough to get the other team debuffed before Nihilus goes at 226 speed, and he'll have a pretty good chance to increase cooldowns.

    That's a minimum speed if you want top 20 in my shard. We're running +100 speed. The stuns aren't a problem against a similar team though as you've got tenacity up most of the time.

    That's not really the opening question. I'm asking what the best rex lead time is, not the best team period.

    I face them and don't struggle, although the effective triple taunt can be annoying. You could be onto something in terms of their strength though.

    Edit: I just took them on and lost on offence for the first time! so you're definitely on to something.
