He used to be one of the go to leaders under the dodge meta but now is just sub-par considering how awesome he was. Simple rework to give him a suedo Taunt. Give his Unique a Zeta that revives all allies on Old Ben's defeat with all of his buffs. That way you have to target him before the other toons or use toons like Boba and DT to block revives.

Like hermit Yoda has a special that procs his strike me down whenever he heals an ally to full health.

No just give him a taunt as a Zeta.

Oh no dude, you did not just try to resurrect the dodge meta Megathread did you?! Haha, that was like 80+ pages of how dodge leads were broken and overpowered. Most of the community was glad when it was brought back "into balance" with other team comps. You can still run mean dodge teams, but if you are, I would recommend Dooku over Old Ben, because Dark Side seems to be getting the blessings this month so far (think Kylo).

Mind Tricks, is pretty boss, I think it's more of a speed issue for him. In the movie, doesn't he say something like, "I'm too old for that sort of thing." Which makes me think, he shouldn't be TOO Much faster, but yeah, his ability block potential is nothing compared to Boba, when looking at their speeds.

Wish he could ability block empire characters for two turns and everyone else for 1 turn in addition to the offense down.

Really? If you want to talk DS and dodge meta you are talking Zaul.

All he really needs is a taunt. Outside of GK, jedi don't have a taunt. Empire and Rebel both have multiple taunts.

His unique is useless when it's never triggered. Your pseudo taunt is a pretty great idea, which would give him both arena and raid viability instantly. A zeta to drop cool down of his ability block and add a 2 turn taunt to it would also work.

His damage is terrible, jedi have other leads that are better for most situations (IGD or ZQJ for example). He should definitely have a taunt, especially with all this power creep going on.

Back before Wiggs I would have agreed with you that a taunt would make home great and full the void that Jedi need, but after the number of buffs to Jedi and some nerfs, they haven't really needed a taunt to be good. While a taunt would be good for Jedi I don't think they need one anymore to be viable.

That's a really good observation.

My thought was to give him a taunt......but similar to Ep. IV. That is, he taunts, but when he does, he becomes exposed (think raising his lightsaber so Vader can strike him down), thereby actually getting killed in the process after a few blows depending on how one wants to gear/mod him. That way, he gains a taunt but dies in the process, thereby activating his killer unique that NEVER gets used anyway.

His unique is pointless now too give that buffs either get dispelled by B2 or Baze or become fodder for Boba's stupidly OP can't be evaded execute.

True, but if running him with other Jedi, there is alot of foresight getting slung around these days. Or maybe make his unique Un-Dispellable while theyre at it. IDK, he is one of my favorite characters...period. So Id like to use mine, but he is so vanilla compared with newer toons.
