It's been a while since my guild successfully cleared heroic sith raid and since then we've cleared it no problem albeit phase 1 with nihilus always slightly slowing us down a bit. However lately my guild has been taking a lot longer to complete phase 1 for reasons unknown. What used to take us maybe only 30 to 40 minutes to complete now can take up to nearly 4 hours to clear and this is just phase 1. I can understand bad timing of the raid or whatever but I'm considering looking into working on building up other squads to help make more progress. I typically run a resistance team with jedi training rey and do about 1.5 to 2 million damage on auto but what other squads are best for phase 1 of sith raid?

That is my resistance team. Check my stats out. I can normally take out 10% or more of phase 1 by myself.
I think you have self diagnosed the “unknown reasons”.
A properly geared Finn does way more damage, and a JTR squad doesn't need a cleanse for multiple reasons.
why not? re: cleanse
C3: No attacks.
BB8: Only attacks if called or counters, don't call BB8, counter doesn't occur enough with def down to matter.
Finn: Special every turn.
JTR: Alternate specials.
R2: Alternate specials.
So only BB8 will every use basic with def down and it won't happen often. Meanwhile, you also get cleanses from JTR (self) and R2 (unique AOE cleanse).
sorry I meant cleanse on dn. what am I missing?
The buffs on DN don't matter much but JTR will constantly remove them anyway with her mind tricks special.
Another thing worth mentioning is that with 1 stack of Confuse from c3po prevents its target from gaining buffs, so if you're attacking correctly, you shouldn't even need to ever dispel(cleanse) DN since he'll always have confuse.
Embo lead BH - this is almost the inverse of the JTR team. This is all about Embo's contract which works great on a raid boss with a big max protection number.
GMY lead Jedi - all the foresight, tenacity up and bonus TM from Yoda
zeta Padma lead gal republic, zeta lead protects you from the defense down, big damage from the stacks of courage
Yeah, my R6/R7 CLS team gets 4-6 million on Nihilus. I do it cause my guild has sandbaggers.
If you time it right, you can get 2-3 stacks
Nice!
