Royal Guard needs a slight adjustment

Actually you are wrong. A lot of passive abilities still work while stunned. Savage still gains offense up and turn meter while stunned. Dooku does not counter, but he does gain the turn meter he would have gained if he did. Basically if the passive doesn't involve attacking it still works.

What do you mean nobody else can use an ability? Savage's armor up goes off if he's stunned, Boba fetts/HK revive goes off, Poe's resist heal goes off, what the hell are you smoking dude? EVERYONE ELSES ABILITY IN THE GAME GOES OFF WHEN STUNNED. Even Sid/lumi evades when stunned! Before the devs go changing the way entire game mechanics work they should probably focus on the ones that don't.

Taunting is an active skill. Turn meter gains, defense up, offense up etc are passive skills.

Something used on opponents is an active skill. That's why everyone else has to actually use taunt. But I guess it would nerf the character too badly and defeat the purpose if it was an active skill. But to use an ability on opponents while stunned makes no sense to me.

Ability block does not stop any other unique ability so why should it stop RG unique?

Other peoples' unique skills are passive skills, not an active skill for everyone else that uses it turned into a passive skill.

5's can't counter when he's stunned. Why? Because shooting someone is an active skill.

Read what I wrote. I never mentioned or used the word stun. All characters including 5's that have a counter attack unique can counter when ability blocked .

You're confused. Active skills are skills which require manual input. Passive skills are skills that do not require manual input. Your definition of passive and active skills is different from the dictionary's definition and the logic used in mmos and mobas.

Think about it. He's a highly trained Elite Bodyguard. Throwing himself in harm's way is second nature and just happens. Other taunters have to think about it for a second, thus a used turn for them and not for RG.

Awsome description for RG. They should change it in game!

Counter essentially activates your basic attack, and basic attacks can't be used while stunned. Passive abilities are their own unique ability - again, you'd be ok with stun stopping the passives of Kylo Ren, Barriss, Sidious, Daka, etc. from activating?

Again, taunt is an active ability for everyone else, they/player has to activate it. Passives are abilities that just happen naturally, no one ever has to active them, they happen on their own.

They took an active ability and made it a passive for one toon. That's my issue with it. I'm not even saying he's overpowered, that just doesn't make sense.
