What would you do different? Even change ships/pilots.

I'd change Palob to something like this:

Palob Godalhi (37)

HWK-290 (20)

Opportunist (4), Blaster Turret (4), Recon Specialist (3), Moldy Crow (3), Stealth Device (3)

He lay lay down an incredible amount of damage, and has surprising survivablity.

My Thought on Palob was to bring him to disrupt Poe, and with TLT be a effective threat on himself. Wanting to utilze Graz High Agility to keep Stealth Device up and get a good Proton Rocket. Talonbane Cobra would be able to get inside range with EU and hopefully get a good first hit on turn 2.

that was atleast my thought with the build :) but what would you remove to fit your Palob?

I kinda like it for funsies honestly.

Talonbane I would consider VI since your running EU. Move after pretty much everyone and fire first. He can safeguard the list a little. Alternately you could go with the crackshot, stims, homing missile version.

On palob ID and shield is too much on IMO, if you dropped these you could fit the suggested build. Theres a million ways to build him and the one above looks pretty scary, at least until he's double stressed and out of focus (poe = stresshog lurking around). I've been using a simpler version with tactician. Either way I don't see much value in wingman. He can't keep up very well and doesn't like being at R1 potentially to do it.

Graz looks bad at first glance, and he is overall but at least when jousting R3 hes 4 greens same as TBC, 5 in your case. His main downside from my perspective is lack of an EPT. Your probably better off wtih a BSA especially since hes ps 5 same as palob. Equip with stims/crack maybe a missile.

Probably something like this lol:

Palob Godalhi (34) - HWK-290

Opportunist (4), Blaster Turret (4), Moldy Crow (3), Stealth Device (3)

Talonbane Cobra (35) - Kihraxz

Crack Shot (1), Glitterstim (2), Engine Upgrade (4)

Graz the Hunter (31) - Kihraxz

Proton Rockets (3), Stealth Device (3)

The recon specialist isn't essential, just helpful. I've had up to 20 focus tokens on home before. And I don't see the point of the inertial dampeners. But if it works for you great I've just never had luck with it. Your list is definitely worth a try though.

yea im starting to like your Palob alot more.. dampers where more filler then anything. Thought it might help some turns to outmanuever, but with your changes to Palob, they are not necessary. Hopefully this will eat Poe hard... Feels like the build can dish alot of damage fast..

So this is how the build stands right now. Anyone with any other suggestions? Good suggestions from RobotheSonyKid
