How the heck can you be disappointed in Plagueis? He seems to be a darn accurate representation based on what we know. I know I'll gladly take him off your hands if you pull him.

(pss...not if you use it on them AFTER they've activated. At least you get one good shot in with it)

When was Avoid Defeat ever guaranteed?

i like the thought of giving an ally avoid defeat via plagueis, but they still only have 10 HP which leaves them so close to the edge. i hope the sith can get access to some type of healing unit besides CadeBH and the med droid

sith don't have much for healing but either of those would still work pretty well and youcan always use a bacta tank too

I'm not sure if you realize it, but it does do the minimum damage (10,20,30,or 40) right away (no save) but has a possibility of continuing on from round to round with the save. So for 3 force you basically have a 30 damage flamethrower that has a possibility of burning the enemy over time... And if you hit them before they activate you have a possible 60 damae on all of them in a single round. Which is pretty good in my book.

edit: lol, looks like ken_watson76 sees it exactly like myself...

I forget that with Corruption all the time. Really confused a couple of us with Logray in the IE Release tournaments.

That said, compare Corruption 4 to Force Push 4 or Force Lightning 4. Force Push 4 does only 40 damage, and pushes the unit. If you're really lucky, there's a pit nearby, but most of the time, it just cause them to have to move to attack again. Lightning 4 does 50 damage, so a bit more than Corruption, and has the possibility of activating an enemy. But Corruption 4....40 auto damage, and a 50% chance for AT LEAST another 40 damage. 80 damage will kill just about any piece that costs 40 points or less. And anything that isn't killed by 80 damage...you can just hit them with Corruption AGAIN the following round for the finishing blow. Or just move Plageius up the 6 squares and attack. Corruption is freakin' awesome. And for 40 damage, you might cause someone to blow a FP trying to re-roll it, and then they won't be able to do Assault or some other Force Power on their turn.

It's a great ability, and I'm glad we're getting to see an "Unleashed" version of it here. :D

Everything you said is true Lobo. I want to add that timing is everything in its use, because losing that 60+ point fig is actually pretty easy. I believe that a skilled payer (like yourself), could pull it off, but that it will take all of your skills to do so.

Definitely something that requires a degree of skill. But there's nothing wrong with that. It should make for better players.
