General Anakin Skywalker

General Kenobi is one of my favorite characters in this game because of his kit, and how accurate he feels when compared to the Obi-Wan we all know and love. I'd like to propose a few changes, that could potentially bring out the same "realness," in Jedi Knight Anakin. The first of which would be a name change. Yes, Anakin was a Jedi Knight. But in my opinion, he was more of a General than a Jedi during much of the Clone Wars. He seemed to thrive in battle, and only enjoyed his time away from it when hiding away on Naboo with his wife.

General Anakin Skywalker
Deft Bladework Basic. Deal physical damage to target enemy and inflict Healing and Buff Immunity for 2 Turns. If the target already had Healing Immunity, remove 30% Turn Meter. If the target already had any negative status effects, reduce all of Anakin's cooldowns by 1.

Tell Me Your Secrets Special, 4 Turn CD (starts on CD). Deal physical damage to target enemy, inflict tenacity down on all enemies for 2 turns, then stun the primary target for 1 turn.

Everyone On Me Special, 4 Turn CD. Anakin gains 80% Turn Meter and recovers 10% Health and Protection for each buff on himself. All buffed allies gain 20% Turn Meter.

Righteous Fury Unique. Anakin gains 10% Turn Meter whenever another Galactic Republic ally takes damage. Whenever another Galactic Republic ally is inflicted with a negative status effect, Anakin gains Defense Up for 2 turns. If Anakin already had Defense Up, he gains Offense Up for two turns. If Anakin already had Offense Up, he gains Retribution for two turns. If Anakin already had Defense Up, Offense Up and Retribution, he gains 5% Turn Meter and other allies gain half that amount.

Attachment Is Compassion Unique. All instances of Turn Meter gain for Anakin are doubled when any of the following allies are damaged or included in a negative effect: Padme Amidala, Ahsoka Tano, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and R2D2.

Always On the Offensive Leadership. All Galactic Republic allies gain 30% Offense, 20% Critical Damage and cannot be countered when using a special ability. Whenever an enemy recovers health or protection, all Galactic Republic allies gain 5% Turn Meter.

Deft Bladework was upgraded with the numerous Jedi assists in mind (Aayla, GK, QGJ and Ezra). Tell Me Your Secrets will force choke the primary target for the animation (think Poggle from the Clone Wars season 2). Everyone On Me will look similar to General Kenobi's The Negotiator. His reworked unique, Righteous Fury, is intended to be more reliable and less predictable (for the enemy) than it previously was. It also builds off of other Jedi buffs such as QGJ's Offense Up, GK's retribution and Plo Koon's Defense Up. Always On the Offensive was intended to retain the offensive boosts, while allowing the popular AOEs of all Galactic Republic allies to be utilized without significant punishment from counter attacks.

I feel like this kit shows a more aggressive side to Anakin. Though he was a protector, the care he had for those closest to him brought out a darkness from within. I feel like that is what he was missing most in the original design.
