GL Hondo Ohnaka Kit Idea
Hello there fellows, with still too much time on hand and the influence of someone talking about wanting a GL Jabba the Hutt... I tried myelf on a GL Kit Idea... but not for Jabba cause I simply do...
Forum Discussion
Okay, I've taken a good look at this kit. It has quite a few problems to be honest. For starters his first special is pretty weak and to situational to be honest. I mean, the stun is just an all round weaker version of SLKR's first special and the rest of the ability isn't much better. His second specials is practically useless if he isn't the leader due to nobody being able to gain stacks of loot, and borderline broken when he is the leader due to the massive amount of Ultimate Charge it can generate.
The leader is pretty weak to be honest, and also makes no sense. It massively increases max health trough 2 different ways, yet Max Health isn't that important in the kit at all. It seems to treat health and protection pretty equal everywhere else in the kit, so it just makes the team weaker to Health Percentage damage effects to be honest. It just doesn't seem logical other than making the second special work. The foresight loop he has in his unique is also pretty broken to be honest and the offence boost seems out of place since he only has 1 ability with which he deals direct damage. Overall an ability that I don't think fits him all that well. Finally the ultimate, which is far too weak for an ultimate if you ask me. Especially with Party! in there. It's already weaker than any ultimate we currently have in the game without that, so that's just the nail in the coffin to be honest.
This led me to try out my own version of him, based on your version. One thing I will say is that instead of "light side Scoundrel" I focused on the other tag of his: "Smuggler". Since that is a pretty underutilized faction in the game to be honest (and all of them are Light Side, so that helps with typing and keeping my file organized). But you could just replace all "smuggler" mentions with Light Side Scoundrel if you want. I also used the Profit we have in the game right now. It's only used by 1 character anyway and the max stacks makes it easier to balance for me. But it's a rough sketch either way. So it might still be a tad too powerful, but I'd like to share it with you anyway. So here it is:
Hondo Ohnaka (my version):

Confuse: Detrimental effects build based on the cumulative number of stacks.
