Think about Dooku of Serreno.. same basic stats as LotDS, you trade up to get Makashi Style, while losing Renewal and trading FL 4 for FL 2. Not a bad trade off considering.
I'd have to disagree about changing Tyranus for Dooku. Tyranus has much better synergy. Makashi is really limited now due to Soresu Style Mastery being changed. Ataru is the only other thing that is ever really used. Niman and Shii-Cho are only on a few pieces and the pieces that have Niman are so weak to begin with, that is why they needed it in the first place. Force Lightning 4 is soooooo much better than Force Lightning 2. Let me explain: Force Lightning 2 does damage to target and adjacent targets. Not bad, but also not good if you or you mini's are adjacent to the person your want to zap. Now Force Lightning 4 damages
only the target, and will pretty much activate them, giving the IG's something to aim for. 50 dmg is also really good for auto damage and especially when you can use it against someone adjacent to you and not worry about killing your self along with it. Force Lightning 4, just like 2, replaces attacks which is also a huge benefit. Sure Dooku has a little more survivability against numerous melee attacks, but hopefully Tyranus and his two ripostes with twin attack should kill whoever is hitting him, provided Boba is doing his job.
So keep Tyranus, because I really think he's worth the points. Dooku is also good, granted, but for synergy I have to go with Tyranus.
