    Master of Makashi’s animation 🔥🔥
  • I hate Dooku. Now I have to hate Dooku more. Bummer I just spent a zeta on Padme, hope it wasn't in vain.

    Unique #2 "I've been looking forward to this" - Count Dooku says "I've been looking forward to this".

    i have a zeta on dooku and it still feels lackluster with the 15% up (10% previously). He has a base protection of 20k so he’s not healing much (1000 more) and his total health and protection is 40k, very easy to DPS through.

    They also decreased his TM gain (non-zeta)

    I’m interested in seeing if his base stat values were upped tho

    I don't see where Dooku hurts his own team.

    The leader ability inflicts tenacity down and healing immunity on ENEMIES when an ENEMY falls below 100% health. The Seps get offense buff. I read it wrong the first time, too.

    edit: quoted the wrong post, oops

    Strange... you release a hard counter to a team that is not arena viable...
    Does it means there will be another galatic republic release or rework ?
  • Of course this is why they waited until after the Padme event to do reworks (or tune-ups) on Dooku and Nute.

    It is applied on the enemies not Dooku's separatists allies.

    Then i'm glad they reworked Dooku :smiley: Otherwise he would be useless with such a focus on countering GR.

    Droideka looks like it's taking damage in the animation, but that's probably just a glitch.

    Yes, this. I’d imagine it’s phrased “inflicting...on themselves” to circumvent mechanics that might prevent the user from applying them to the enemy (CBM?)?
  • Well he keeps counter attacking, but the target keeps gaining 40% protection up each time for attacking out of turn. Probably not going to kill anything that way.

    His attacks out of turn ignore protection when he has riposte. Seems like a great way to kill something.

    I currently use Dooku on my Sith team, glad to see his rework doesn't really affect him there :)

    Or maybe he doesn't keep attacking....

    So Dooku just keeps attacking a Galactic Republic target until it's dead? Seems legit.

    Umm...yeah...is there some sort of cap missing in this ability description?

    They only note a cap if there isn't one. Compare Ezra and Greedo.
  • Master of Makashi’s animation is best. Nice rework.

    Most likely. I totally read that wrong.

    Right. Hence the question. With 100% chance of another attack versus GR, what’s preventing this from looping? It doesn’t say it only operates once per turn.

    I think it’s more like Canderous’ basic or Leia’s Basic (where it has a chance to deal damage a second/third time) than like Greedo’s unique (which has a trigger outside the base ability, which uses a basic ability for a second time).

    Yeah, I got it, misunderstood what the person I was responding to was saying. Post has been edited.

    Not sure if I like the change on his unique. Sure, increasing the chance to gain TM from 25 to 100% is amazing but the cutdown from 45 to 15% TM gain? Idk..
