Mod Recommendations

The in-game recommendations are quite good, but they consider multiple game modes, not solely PVP, which is a focus of many players. Go with in-game unless the consensus suggests mods that may be better for pvp.

 * recommendation from expert under Padme team: GK in Padme team is definitely best with 3 def sets with 3-4 health primaries, it’s important you have his speed at the right amount though so make sure you prioritize that.

 * anti-Malak and general use modding is different. e.g. protection primaries are useful to survive malak drain: e.g. Padme mods
