Sorry if this is long but there is a lot wrong with him!!
Although everyone still seems to agree mace windu needs to be tweaked still.. I think it is fair to say Plo Koon needs a complete revamp!!!
If you are going to stick close to the character traits then plo has high survivability with strong attacks - I read somewhere someone talk about making him more like opress and I would agree to an extent.
I think he should be on par with opress when it comes to hp and maybe basic damage given.
His clone trooper synergy is fine but he needs more than just that to be a viable character.
He can actually use force lightning - he calls it "force judgement" if memory serves - so why not have an extra attack that is a form of this?, it could attack the group and have a 25% chance at stunning with 10% chance of multiple stuns.
His primary attack doesn't work - it is supposed to remove buffs but I have never seen this happen when using it...Ever!
His ability to put offence down on opposition should have a lot higher chance of happening - as it is nearly never going to happen as it stands
I personally think he should be a high resistance, high health, tank controller
Whatever you do - please at least do something to him

If he actually worked as advertised he would actually be quite decent, but he doesn't.
He should have his AOE attack replaced with electric judgement, with very high stun % to target.
EA- you fixed Royal Guard, please fix Plo.
And his basic ability never works either...
Firstly this is based in the assumption that defence up is actually going to do something in the future - I.e reduce damage taken by something like 25 - 40%
So give him a heavy dose of HP - like 20k
Speed I would leave about 85-90
Passive ability - when an allied player goes below 50% health plo will automatically taunt and add defence up on himself for one turn
Basic attack removes buffs - damage about same as a basic mace windu (when there are no buffs to it and no expose boost)
Secondary attack changed so has an offence down and like a 15% stun chance (multiple stuns chance of 10%)
3rd ability - taunt and add defence up to himself for 2 turns, + add health gain (like 6% of their max health per turn) to allies for one turn + the current turn meter boost for clones
Leader - critical hit chance reduction
***my thinking is that this would make slower units more viable when paired with plo, and also the fact that it would actually make plo play like a tank
Most Excellent Idea's, would definitely be work farming and we would finally have an actual full on Jedi Tank
Also add Clone affiliation for synergy with the Clone team that will likely come some day.
he is farmable in cantina battles - I've got him to 6* and mace to 7* and barris to 5* within 2 months just from those missions
He isn't good at the moment, is slow, health is meh, doesn't hit very hard and none of his abilities work properly if at all
BTW, which node is it that opens him up? When I get a kick on a node I work on that till i open or upgrade the character. I think I am only halfway through 3 (I'm slow on advancing that) and up too tier 6 on LS and 5 on DS.
It's the last node on area 4 for plo koon. The first one on 4 will give you mace. I managed to get both of them up to 6* just from farming those nodes in about 5 weeks - I've found the drop rate from them isn't too bad!
Who knows, he is so bad I have never seen anybody use him in any part of the game! I will go through story mode to see what he does there.... So in story mode he buffs first
It would be interesting to give it Force Judgement as it is a very rare power and he basically discovered it.
I'd make it a power with decent damage and a high multi-stun chance.
Love the multi stun idea, i had 3* koon but love the design kinda remind me of mass effect char
That's an excellent idea!
JUSTICE FOR PLO KOON!
I like it, that would be very interesting and definitely give some useful utility. Much better than current. Potency would still be a huge issue unfortunately, right now i think he's at 20% lol
About the only thing I like is having him on a team with Fives. Plo Koon's 'Take Charge' special gives Fives a huge turn meter bump & usually makes him next in line to go. And, if Fives then calls Plo Koon to assist, they both do 50% more damage.
Overall though, he still needs to be tweaked. Better health, damage, potency...something. He's useless with a Jedi lineup which seems ridiculous.
