General Grievous missing something?

So the General Grievous ingame might be a little small, and lacks some power. 1000 posts have been made where it's stated he needs a rework.

But what exactly is he missing? In terms of abils, zeta's, stats, ...? Really want to hear from the community how this once so great leader could be improved to be usable !
(please don't make OP suggestions, be realistic)
  • He needs to be more like the jerk he is on HAAT raid...frustrating to go up against. I'd love that guy on my team.
  • Make him the counter to Jedi after Hermit Yoda. As he's an OP support character, make Grievous and OP Attacker but have him retreat when his allies are dead. Suits his character and it's a contrast and balance.

    All he really needs is Speed Down on Sinister Laughter, a bit more Potency, and a little extra damage.

    His leader ability is a non-entity, but ALL droid leader abilities that aren't HK's are non-entities. HK's is borderline broken as is, so to make one that would replace it would mean deliberately designing something bad...

    A ship wouldn't be amiss, either. Whether that's a Separatist Capital Ship or a personal fighter ship is negotiable, but something.

    EDIT: Forgot--Tactical Retreat should be reworded to give a the Droid with the lowest TM 100% TM and taunt. It's actually a very good ability that can potentially swing a fight when the character that gets taunted is IG-88 with its AoE or IG-86 with its assist. When it randomly picks Jawa Engineer it's lame as hell... But if it could be guaranteed to hit the droid who would, theoretically, go last in the order it'd be nuts.

    Update him using my rework idea (shameless plug o:) ) The only thing I haven't figured out is a leader ability.
