Darth Sidious Review

Awesom3_Kill_Joy

I got him to level 70, G8, and 7* so I will show where he is useful, and where he is not.

Should I Farm Him?

Probably Not. It all depends on your play style. For beginners he is useful, but for experienced players, he is near useless.

Abilities

Leader,

He gives allies of any tag more likely to land critical hits and increase the critical damage. This really stands out in raids for a backup leader.

Deathstroke

Although he may not do too much damage, he can prevent healing. That is basically it.

Demoralizing Blows

He attacks all enemies and gives them damage over time.

Sadistic Glee

I would recommend checking it out for yourself. I never really found it to be helpful although some have.

Summary

Farm him for raids only.

Everyone already knows this. Sid was irrelevant after the protection update.

Maybe they use him on new servers, but not on old servers. And he difinitly isn't being used on teams that are ranking between 20-1.

Govna

I use him in GW, he is great on the easier nodes, is normally targeted but self heals and can become sacrificial later. Saves my better toons for the hard nodes, so they can come in with full TM and Armour

scuba

Lol. I started using him as lead for my AoE team in GW.

Ooohwee. The only arena teams that still use him are...

A. Low ranking teams
B. Teams in a young arena shard
C. Both A and B

Sidious has been practically useless since protection was added. Can't even say he's useful for challenges since there is no "Sith" challenge yet.

Condolences. I'm waiting on the Anakin review now.

Ooohwee. You are going to be waiting for a long time. You know, since he can only be farmed in hard nodes.

Ole_Man_Bourbon

Sidious is so bad that when his debuffs dont stick on my rebel team, im disappointed.

ImperialTaco

Haha. I remember when everyone ran him as lead in the arena. How those days are gone, gone, gone.

djvita

give him more damage (20% more), 20% more base potency and change his basic from healing immunity to tenacity down. betcha you would buy a furnace for him then

You should farm him until they add Anakin to cantina

For beginners

Sid is a great first toon for casual players who aren't reading the forums. Basic kit that can teach the user about the importance of turn planning, while very easy to star and gear. Still totally viable in GW, too.

LOL so good.

I feel like someone should start a dedicated thread sharing the good memories of our dearly departed Sidious.

Like this: Remember when BOTH teams ran Sidious, and sometimes you had to retreat and start-over if the other teams' Sidious pulled off his AOE too early? It was such a big deal.

Or those times when you were actually heal blocked, when you used a healer, and tried to heal but were heal blocked...

Good times...

masters

He was good for beginners eight months ago. Back then he was widely considered the first priority. Most of the top arena teams ran him as lead. Now I use mine for nodes 1-5 in galactic war and when I run out of better toons in my daily raid activities.

yuyuhasuko

Alway met him in Squad Arena at the first time I play this game about 8 months ago,now he had gone.

Quixotic

He is still popular in my neighborhood, around 500. I use him with my Vader team. But I'm so lame I have to run multiple teams and often don't finish GW. Still, is fun watching someone with three healers waste all those actions on whomever you are beating down after a heal block. Satisfying.
