Why did I invest in Malak?

Malak or no, if you're going up against a faster DR then you need a pre-taunting tank. Sith Trooper is your best option, while Shore Trooper is close behind despite lacking specific synergies. I don't even have DR and I know this :/

he already has Sith Trooper, but if Drevan or Badstila go first it's still an L

Which is why malak should have a pretaunt it could change it up especially with a few other tweeks they could get ride of the sith enemies cant gain tm and still stop emp and give a little more diversity in team comps mayne not so much in meta keeping it how they want it malaks kit lacks a few key things to make him a complete game changer especially as a tank in mirror matches normally after the first set of moves he no longer taunts cause of cbm and as long as u kill him last he does nothing cause u just apply shock at that point so he cant heal and ge gets maybe 1 or 2 bonus turns and hes dead. So with the pretaunt u can drop trooper for murader or sass if they dropped the new sith enemie part and if malak had synergy with ferocity reducing the defense penalty would allow the team to be tankier as not to loose all defense immediately and makes him a target a bit more and maybe add cbm to his taunt?

My advice atm is to not invest in him at all unless you have a DR that is faster than most in your chard. And if you do have that fast DR there is no need for Malak. You win without him within 30 seconds Anyway.

I’m not even dropping out of the top 10 - Jan ‘16 shard too.

If your DR is being beaten for speed, load your fastest mods into BSF.

Good points made here.
SiT is pretty bad under DR, as ferocity instantly takes away his defense/tenacity which makes him good normally.. The only reason he's a must is the pre taunt.
If Malak got a pre taunt, then we could replace SiT, opening up new oportunities. Dual pre taunt tank is nice, but marauder is probably better.

My Bastilla is 285 but my opponents are faster judst like their DR. So that tactic will not help. ST will not help me (I have him) since their DR and Badtillas are faster. Are you saying you would still win by understanding How it all works? My DR is 310 which is too slow.

Give DRevans mods to Basty. Mine DR is 275 or something like that.

you have very easy arena:) guys from mine have average bastilla abt 305-310
and some also have DR @ 315-320

This is such a worthless comment, and people always say this as if you have any control at all over whether you get 20+ speed mods.

Do you guys really not understand the mechanics yet of how swapping your best set to Bastila instead of revan makes you much worse?

Unless you have two sets that are top of your shard speed. It's better on defense to keep your best set on revan. If you come across a team with their fastest mod set on Bastila instead of revan, put your fastest set on your own revan so you go first. And instead of putting out fear, use the shock aoe. You will win in 30 seconds.

Putting the fastest set on Basti is not any good at all on defense if your shard figures it out.

Here's how this reads:

"You guys are all dumb, because you don't do a thing that I do, which I'm not going to explain because I'm probably lying."

Watch and pay attention to who takes turns. You'll see their Bastila is faster than my Bastila. And because I shocked their whole team instead of using fear, it's the easiest way to win a mirror against a player who swaps their mods to Basti instead of keeping them on revan.

What you meant to say was you are too lazy to try actual strategies that may work on your own game, and would rather just go on forums and complain about everything cause that's easier.

ofcourse you do, farm more mods. Ofcourse some players are more lucky than others, but it's not like you don't have any control over it whatsoever.
Most of the time i face a player who has a faster speed set than me, they also have more +10's and vice versa. Imo that's a better indication of how many modfarming someone has done since it's less dependent on RNG.

I’m still bitter about mods. I originally farmed only the purple and gold mods, and spent my refreshes on searching for the best high tier mods in the store I was rewarded with some of the best mods on my server. Then 6 dot mods come and everyone got to upgrade their mods and mine are already capped out. Outside of a temporary advantage while everyone else needed to accumulate extra slicing materials, I’ve fallen so far behind on mods.
