Old Ben skill addition

I love Old Ben, but he has little use except for his leader ability.
It's no fun to play him because after his debuf (hit/miss) only slow attacks remain. That's it. He won't get attacked because he is no threat.

So I suggest an additional skill which makes him more useful and keeps in line with his lore:
* Word of the Wise: by using this skill, Old Ben trades in 15% of his life force(not shield), giving a random ally the gift of foresight for 1 turn.

Any remarks??

    Not sure that Ben needs another special, one thing that people have mentioned in other threads is doing something with his basic. His basic's Omega is just awful. The starting suggestion was chance to Taunt (which I think is interesting but a little too powerful given his unique). There are a ton of other possibilities (TM gain or reduction, buff immunity, dispel, etc.). Anything but an extra turn of evasion up.

    For me an addition to his basic skill would be a nice touch, but his unique skill is blocked from ever seeing the day of light by his massive health pool. I just think something needs to work with that.
    But a rework on his main... If that's what they would give, I'll take it!

    Ben needs his unique adjusted...on paper it's powerful but rarely a factor in any game mode. Not sure what you would need to do with it but it would be a major rework.

    I wouldn't mind adjusting his basic to apply offense down and 20% TM from the target. You could scale the effect rate up to 85% at level 7 and TM loss at Omega.
