Totally new Darth Vader build/character
So with the state of the OP toons coming out lately, Empire and/or Sith are in dire need of some new characters (I know Thrawn is awesome)... light side are dominating at the moment. If you guys have any ideas for new character builds etc, feel free to post them here. I'll start with a whole new Darth Vader character... I don't quite know what you'd call him besides generic 'Darth Vader' but he would have a different stance (standing straight on with his Saber in two hands in front of him) which would change when he activates his 'attack mode'. This build is semi similar to Luke's but is kind of 'darker' and as a build, he is a very tanky anti DPS, anti Rebel, anti Jedi, DPS character. I've given him movesets and a unique buff that I believe fit his character and would make him a very powerful toon, one fitting of the power creep that is very prevelant in the game as of now. Oh and I gave him his beloved Force Choke. Here it is...

Ability block was a better debuff, as well as the fact that Jedi (and preferably rebels) couldn't resist it
Force choke is the single most overpowered thing in the game, it's practically a oneshot but unlike ahniliate doesn't start on cooldown and has half the cooldown if it
Why explosive onslaught as a name? Minor complaint but doesn't seem to fit Vader that much
What was wrong with his old leader of removing turn meter? I enjoy calling allies to assist, but it kinda downplays; Tarkin with the speed, Veers with the offense, and Krennic with the crits. And not by being better than them all in a unique way but by mashing them all together but with lower numbers, as well as is the assist a flat 30% or only when the 70% bonus goes?
The offense from empire's enforcers is pitifully low
And after all of this still has no synergies with Palpatine
This build wouldn't replace the 'old' Vader but is a seperate Vader...Explosive Onslaught... kinda like how Vader would play it defensively at times then suddenly attack with overwhelming power etc. Assist chance is a flat 30% and Empire Enforcer stacks pretty quickly when you consider his Leader + EO unique buff.
Pretty much... an OP Empire/Smith version lol
Watch carefully at 11:18... Darth Vader applies his 3 DOTs but also applies 10x of a different debuff! Looks like we might be getting a rework after all (although it was dispelled straight away). Thoughts? Does anyone know what that debuff is?
IDK what was that, but it was locked and it got cleansed, so maybe it's nothing
Sorry for my English :]
And don't choke on your expectations.
That seriously was the weakest argument of all time xD there is a history of Sith Lords being killed by the apprentice who then takes over. That's normal and completely Sith. Poor folks just argue for the sake of trying to be right when they won't be.
Uh guys
Maybe a hint?
It is a winky face, but it could be a bad pun.
That'd be PUNishment
