Why is Savage Opress so strong?

He along with Dooku, sidious, maul, Vader, got buffed:
Savage Opress
Basic: Staggering Blow
Now always has 50% chance to inflict Offense Down, doubled on Crit.
Damage increased.
Special: Overpower
Omega: Deal massive damage if the target has 50% Health or below, in addition to previous bonus
Leader: Pain is Weakness
Changed to % Defense. Defense maxes out at 75%.
Omega: +15% Defense and +30% Tenacity.
Unique: Brute
At the end of his turns, Savage dispels all debuffs from a random other Sith ally, and gains those debuffs.
ZETA: Gain Heal Over Time when damaged, Buff Duration + 1, +50% Turn Meter Gain Chance, Dispel all debuffs from Savage whenever he is Critically Hit
Whenever Savage takes damage, he gains Offense Up, Defense Up, and Heal Over Time for 2 turns and gains 30% Turn Meter. At the end of his turns, Savage Dispels all debuffs on a random other Sith ally, and gains those debuffs for 1 turn. Dispel all debuffs from Savage whenever he is Critically Hit.

is he viable without the zeta?

Eh. Savage doesn't seem to be too great whenever I use him as an ally and he's normally pretty easy to beat for my squads...

To be honest I'd just tell you don't waste your time, credits, and mods. Focus on better Sith characters like Dooku, Vader, Maul.

All I saw was

SWG Pre CU - Elder Jedi - Ahazi - Leader: Grey Area 51

and ignored everything else. Always makes me happy to see a fellow Galaxies vet, although I was on Tempest myself.

On the topic of Savage.... does Tenacity help in him resisting the gaining of debuffs from allies during his turn through his unique? Or does the "gain" process not do a resist check? Just curious on if modding Tenacity helps with him as a cleanser.

The debuff gain from allies is unresistable. His tenacity will not help him here unfortunately.

TBH under a Maul lead I would throw out Vader, Sidious, Dooku, Palpatine, Nihilus and Sith Trooper before I'd drop Savage, worth every single piece of gear and every mod I use on him.

For mods I use and offense and a defense set, Speed, Crit damage and offense primaries on the right side.
