I love to see the word "damage increase" when it comes to my home boy Vader!

Tmjm

so is this it for todays update?

and dooku is about to get a whole lot more annoying if he gets zetaed.....

DatBoi

wow...

I've had sidious and savage on the bench for months. Time to bring them out of retirement.

Cesium

oh maybe dooku wasn't a farming mistake after all, might be time to brush off the dust..

BentWookiee

Don't miss this part.. <Fingers crossed>

sith got some love! love zmaul more!

Zanhaep

ZETA update: The Stealth and Turn Meter from this ability now ignores Taunting allies.

Currently, there aren't any Taunting Sith, so one of the new Sith (Sion?) must have taunt, otherwise they wouldn't have realised and changed this.

That Dooku Zeta looks pretty good. Nice to see decent buffs for the other floundering Sith as well

DrewR

So 3x Dooku counterattacks = +30% Protection?

djvita

wait...

now ignores Taunting allies.

no sith taunts, you mean taunting enemies?

KyleKatarn

Zid / Zader now look even better. Really pleased to be bringing a couple of toons off the bench

JJWZP5

@CG_TopHat Could you please still tell us about nihilus abilities and the other two characters that are dropping with him?

It's an indication that at least one of the 3 new toons will taunt

JRCPKT99

This may get merged but I think it deserves its own thread.

Count Dooku
Basic: Hindering Press
Can now debuff non-Jedi, and chance to debuff Jedi is increased.
Omega: Can't be Countered in addition to +15% Damage.
Special: Force Lightning
Chance to debuff increased.
Omega: 50% chance to inflict Shock in addition to +15% Damage.
Damage increased.
Unique: Flawless Riposte
ZETA: Count Dooku gains Critical Hit Immunity for 1 turn and recovers 10% Protection whenever he counterattacks.

That Zeta...Wow. AOE toons beware! Thats way better than bariss zeta dont you think!

Love it.

I can see Zader lead or Zaul lead with sid, dooku, and DH?

StarSon

Does Sid's new leader stack? Such that every time a Sith crits, they gain an additional 2% offense? Or is it just the first crit? @CG_Kozispoon

MLGebra

Nooooo the Dooku meta was so cancer last time

AttackOfTheBroda

Whose DH? Also, do you think savage is viable now?

Red_Madness

Dooku sounds scary if zeta'd now lol

BrianBuchanans

He won't be terrible anymore but he still loses to stealthed characters + exceptional DPS. I just feel there are better zetas to explore first but he's definitely much improved, especially to speed up EP; Dooku Shock --> EP either gets lots of TM or stuns a character for two turns will be interesting.

chezhead

Any idea what this means? Is it a buff or a nerf?

Darth Maul
Leader: Dancing Shadows
ZETA update: The Stealth and Turn Meter from this ability now ignores Taunting allies.

Eightys

Just shut Dooku down with Daze, problem solved

Eightys

I don't get it either, is it a bug fix?!? How is this a good change?!?

Willis

Sounds like been updated so sith with auto taunts don't get stealth and tm. So maybe one of these new dark side characters has an auto taunt....

M_L

does "recover 10% protection" mean if dooku counter atk for 2k dmg, dooku will recover 10% of 2k, or 10% of his max protection?

Kelthuzad

Will Vader get fixed, too? Regarding the TFP tm reduction on all chars? Ah, wait, Teebo was supposed to get fixed first

AttackOfTheBroda

Dang i read it as the stealthed sith can attack anyone boba style...

BrianBuchanans

Darth Maul's leader Zeta was changed to accommodate taunting allies—and since it only applies stealth to Sith, that means presumably Nihilus is a taunter/pre-taunter or there's another Sith or two lurking in the shadows.

Thoughts?

Flamethrow

Looks like a nerf to me. If it ignores your tank (say shoretrooper) you basically won't benefit from the TM or stealth (which prevents you from being crit hit). Am I understanding this wrong?

Thysk

I feel like this means that if a Sith is taunting, they won't go into stealth when crit or they evade, and thus won't gain the turn meter.

A new Sith may have a taunt, or maybe this is just if General Kenobi grants one of the Sith taunt for a turn. I would expect the former, because the General Kenobi angle seems too niche..

MackemSLAM

Can only mean there is a sith taunter coming, otherwise the change does precisely nothing.

Willis

You are understanding that completely wrong
