Oh, I didn't see that. Expertise on Dash seems pretty solid, but it is redundant with Rey. I suppose you could use Jan Ors or C-3PO in place if Rey.

I actually meant keep LW on Dash and go with Expertise on Poe, to save the focus for defensive purposes.

Expertise on poe is a very, very strange choice. Assuming you can get a focus token, Predator is the better choice on Poe by far.

But Lone Wolf is already on Dash, maybe go back to Expertise?

You should be doing the PTL/Kanan version of Dash with Intensity Poe. It makes both ships very maneuverable. I also like EU on Dash for the same reason. Only downside of this build is you have to drop autothrusters for IA. I suppose you drop down to the PS 8 Poe, but black one really wants to move last.

I could see expertise on Poe with R5-P9. Flip all your eyeballs and save the token for regen or defense.

On the intensity Poe above, I don't get the Comm Link, when Primed Thrusters would serve him better. Still get BR and thus triggering Intensity even with up to 3 stress.

Even then, predator is a more powerful choice, given Poe's focus->hit ability, which makes expertise redundant With three attack dice you only roll more than one focus result about 15.5% of the time, and then Predator can reroll the second(and maybe even third) result, or blanks. Expertise just increases Poe's vulnerability to his greatest weakness - stress.

Comm link is a hull upgrade in another slot. I'd guess Biggsy_Boy likes to fly Poe in, then run for the hills, in which case he'd have a chance to use that comm relay more than once a game, making it way better than primed thrusters in that scenario.

My take on the Dash - Poe concept would be:

Dash: PTL, Title, HLC, Kanan, EU

Poe: PTL, BB8, Title, Auto

Dash is super-manuavrable... therefore Poe should be to. I would value this in this build over Regen.

Main issue is Pilot Skill on Dash... means a number of higher PS ships can hunt him down pretty effectively... or swarms that clog up your routes to escape.-
