Mace Windu needs to be reworked (again)

I know he has been tweaked already but I feel those tweaks do not do him justice. There has been many detailed posts saying why he should be reworked and I won't go into that, with the lore and all. I just do not understand why he is a tank, or does average damage. Mace Windu is one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars universe, and he needs to be as powerful. Here's an idea I have in mind.

Invincible Assault (Basic)- Deal Physical damage to target enemy. Cannot be evaded or countered by sith, and deals double damage (level 8)

Smite (cooldown 2)- deal special damage to target enemy, gaining offense up for 2 turns, as well as defense up if it crits. This attack has an additional +25% critical chance.

Jedi Commander (Leader)- Jedi allies gain 10% offense for every enemy defeated, and 10% defense for every ally defeated. Bonus doubled if a sith is defeated.

Vapaad (Unique)- Mace Windu has 20% critical chance +40% critical damage. Gains 45% turn meter if any of his attacks are critical or if hit by a Sith.

This build is a sort of reverse Darth Maul. The numbers could be changed, but you get the idea. He is the only person to master vapaad, a style that dances with the dark side, generally speaking. Made is one of the most powerful Jedi, comparable to the likes of dooku and Yoda in light saber skill. He is also commonly seen leading the team, which is why I feel he should have a strong leader ability with Jedi.

When I first got this game, the first person I looked for was Windu, and how to get him. As I progressed, I learned how disappointing he is. He should be one of the most powerful toons in the game, like Rey. His current build isn't bad, but it isn't good either, and should probably be saved for another Jedi. This'll probably never happen, but if it does, I will forgive CG for its sins haha. But seriously, if he gets made like this, I can live with all of the flaws, GW, raid system, etc.

This game is actually the first game I ever spent money on anything. I've played MANY mobile games, and many times I've been tempted to buy, but never went through with it, and sometimes suffered. But the potential in this game is crazy. You already got the fanbase, the addictive gameplay, everything. It's just how it's implemented, and the often obvious money grab. But you've got a great game, devs. Don't mess it up, and don't mess up Mace Windu :)

Tl;dr fix Mace Windu and this game.

  • He is awesome in raids. Debuffed guards and exposes rancor.

    I agree he could use something - In arena he is useless. 100'percent expose is a bit extreme. it's unlikely he will be changed to me his rework in January. Plenty of other toons are in need of love.
  • Which is what I think is the problem. He's "usable." He's one of the greatest Jedi to ever live. The way he is presented in the game isn't really accurate at all. I agree that there are many characters that need some work, but Windu is pretty high up on that list.

    Why would you want to get rid of his ability to remove taunt? That is his one saving grace right now!


    Personally, I think that ability already belongs to QGJ. I'd trade that in for a much better overall character. Not just some tweaking, but an overhaul, like the build in the op.
  • By the way, has anyone else noticed that he gets turn meter bonus with EVERY attack no matter whether he attacks an exposed enemy or not?

    Yeah, something to do with 22% turn meter every time or something. Even with this bug, he is still very average.

    So basically you hold to the logic that if a characters was powerful in the movies/books/etc then they have to be similarly power in the game.

    Because who cares about REAL game balance, right? While your at it following your absurd logic GS should be nerfed to the point that he is unplayable along with whatever else.

    ''he was powerful in the lore' is absolutely no excuse to completely mess up game balance just because of the way you 'feel'. He is one of the better characters in the game, and you still don't think he is good enough.

    he is very good now and brings interesting things to the table, leave him rightfully alone.

    I was actually going to bring up GS. I don't mind if someone like GS or FOTP is powerful, I actually like it. Creates diversity, depth and fun synergies and teams. But I'm not saying that if they are powerful, they should automatically beat someone because they do so in the movies. It's their popularity as well. Look at Yoda, Rey, Vader, etc. They are iconic characters and tend to be really good. Or Grevious and Solo. They are iconic, and therefore harder to get and special. I'm not saying Windu should be harder to get, but should be done some justice in the game. He is one of the more iconic and popular characters in the game, like boba (who should also be fixed) or the ones mentioned above.

    Also, you can't seriously say he is one of the better characters in the game. His current abilities are good, and could be saved for another character or Jedi, like I said in the op. But to say he is very good? Please.
  • I don't get why they reworked him and then a couple of weeks later nerfed his attack power, seems like a waste of time tbh.
    I use him but I think he needs something like a counter if another member of the team is attacked - in order to get people to focus him as a tank
  • i agree 100%, He should be more powerful. both his moves arent all that great and his leader ability is below par. He was a Jedi Master on the council. Hes one of the top 3 most powerful Jedi in the galaxy but yet heis just as powerful as Finn with a blaster?!?!?!!?
