thanks! I realize it's going to take time to get the rest of the zeta mats, i want to gear and level the right toon for max value. My Vader is only 5 star atm gear 10 is he still worth putting the zeta on first? My maul , QGJ, Yoda , are all 7* gear 10. Would it be more beneficial to use those precious mats on a 7* toon ?

thanks

My zeta Vader is 7 star gear X and half the time is stunned or ability blocked or is just too slow to be effective. I use his lead for the TM reduction though and that is what keeps me competitive. A fast TFP and fairly fast EP slow the opponents with debuffs for control. After that it's all slot who you have and who they have.

So Vader's stats don't always matter.

Takes a lot of luck though to win consistently. A zeta Maul with a fast TFP and EP are probably more effective. That team burns me 75% of the time.

Put some speed mods on Vader, it makes all the difference. I used him to take 1st on my shard before DN. I'll say a B2 really helps vader to keep enemies clean for his force crush and culling blade.

Better than that Princess Zody I saw a thread about the other day. Everyone does it on this forum, and it never ceases to make me cringe...

Princess Zody makes sense when you consider it's two characters.

Zeta maul, run sith team in arena and you will dominate.

Because it is galaxy of speed and zeta maul gives sith heaps of speed.

The end.

I had the same debate and ended up opting to put it on Maul. Went from sitting right around 50 at arena payout to taking first. If you've got a decent supporting cast then I'd recommend it.

Who else do you run with maul ?

This.
Its just their maxed out ability.... Like Omegas where before.

Yeah, but Omegas were simple evolutions of existing abilities. More damage, shorter cooldown, whatever. Zetas are a sea change with a character--Barris' healing crit allies, Vader auto-refreshing DoTs, Qui-Gon giving allies foresight whenever they sneeze.

A zeta-character is someone you build a team around. You need to differentiate between Darth Vader, who can be in any old team, and zeta Vader, who is always the leader of a team that has been tailored around him as the focal point.

I think "Zader" is silly, too. But there's a value to differentiation, and I'm not going to be an old man yelling at clouds because the young'uns decided to call it something else before I did.

I had about the same happen, went from 30-50 to top ten. I havent hit #1 though. What's the rest of your squad look like?

I'm between Finn for GW fun, and some raiding, or Vader to speed up my guild's raids. Which is the better choice in you with Zetas already's opinion. At 15 ATM.
