    Well the Grievous rework seems reasonable. Not insanely OP but will definitely be arena viable. +1

    I disagree, I think too often people shoot extremely high on proposed reworks. This seems overpowered to me.

    You seem to comment this on all the reworks you comment on. And most people seem to disagree with that. I develop all my designs in the interest of allowing for a more diverse arena and try keep it balanced. I don't see how this is any more OP than GK, Nihilus, Chaze, R2 or any of the current meta toons and I have put this rework past dozens of people in other chats who have liked the rework and helped me balance it...

    But of course, I respect your opinion, but I'm seeing that your inclined to thinking this about any design that isn't mundane and sup-par to current meta. Things will only stagnate that way.

    Love it :) My only suggestion would be to increase the revive chance to his leader ability, maybe 55 or 65%.

    i do, that's why I said too often people do this. Adding more overpowered characters to the game will only make the game worse. For that reason, I don't like the extravagant ideas that people come up.

    Just look at Grievous' basic;

    TM removal, quadruple attack chance, class-specific TM bonus and debuff (which encompasses 20+ characters), and it's non-evadable.

    That's far too much in my opinion. But hey, what do I know? Evidently everyone else thinks this is acceptable.

    Considering Wedge, Biggs and TFP can hit for 18-22k basic, its hardly an OP basic ability but okay

    He obviously wouldn't have 10k crits like he does now. And perhaps he could change the wording to make the additional attacks non crits but besides that it's good. I would expect nothing less from a giant cyborg with 4 lightsabers.

    Yes.

    He also needs an ability like "coward"

    The whenever GG protection is gone or the first time GG health drops below 50%, gain 2 health over time, call random droid ally to taunt and grant that droid 50% defense, give grievous damage and debuff immunity until his next turn
