Are the Sith ever to get a speed lead boost?

The Jedi have it (and foresight) with QGJ, the Rebels have it (and tenacity)with Ackbar, crazy counter and other buffs with Commander Luke, the Empire has it with Tarkin.

The Sith only have turn meter gain with Zaul, turn meter down with Zader, potency up with Palps, defense/tenacity with Zavage etc etc

The Sith are still left in the dark with their only speed bonus coming from mods alone.

In addition to this, the Jedi all have more unique abilities capable of being shared in the squads versus the Sith mostly having only leadership specials.

Bring some balance back to the force please.

And Ironically the Jedi need a buff..

PhantomLord

Whilst it isn’t a leader ability, they have Sith Assassin’s unique which speeds them up per buff on her.

Sure Jedi share abilities, but Sith have Jedi targeting abilities.

Jedi teams don't exactly demolish Sith squads. You should find another comparison to push.

@ExarTheKun
Targeted abilities have minimal effect when Sith are naturally or modded too slow to execute them. Sith have no counter, speed or synergy (in terms of calling multiple Sith toons at a time) to attack.

Still 'pushing the comparison'....

How about the ridiculous start you get from a zaul team with sith assassin?

Seriously getting old with the 'buff sith' whining. Sith and rex were meta directly before CLS.
Empire, scoundrel, seperatists, droids, clones, ewoks, first order, resistance...all have had a meta less recently than sith (if ever).

ExarTheKun

You are correct in calling Sith out on lack of speed. However, all five Sith have at least one turn before any Jedi (with the exception of Barriss, provided she isn't dazed) in a zMaul vs zQGJ match up. What exactly are you asking for? I would not turn down zMauls TM gain, stealth and evasion chance for any speed, foresight and offense lead to rival zQGJ.

Even if you gave another Sith the same lead as zQGJ, it wouldn't be as effective as zMaul. You are asking for the wrong fix. Sith don't need speed, they need more non-resistable debuffs, TM gain and survivability.

Yes-I have plenty of cheese to go with my 'whine'.

Flat speed increases are and probably always will be inferior to leader abilities with TM manipulation.

Tarkin lead is inferior to Thrawn lead.

Ackbar is inferior to CLS lead.

zMaul would still be superior to a flat speed increase for Sith. Especially since they are all slow apart from SA.
