Ya Ya, he isn't the worst character. Mob enforcer, JC, umm.. Tusken shaman are all examples of those worse off than him. But that doesnt mean he doesn't deserve a buff.
And honestly, him being a ship commander means he should get a buff. Why? Because people are gonna farm him now, and why make them farm a character they cant use anywhere else but as a commander. Let him be interesting!
These are some possible ideas on how to make him better:
1. General Obi has a cool mechanic where he applies the opposite buff against debuffs. What if we make Mace Windu's smite not just dispell buffs, but apply the opposite debuffs? It would make "smite" mean a little more. (On a side note, I think buff immunity should be whats inflicted if a taunt is dispelled.)
2. Smite I imagine is a move meant to hit someone and stagger them. It could instead, additionally to being a dispell, remove some TM and perhaps apply Offense Down.
3. Shatterpoint is alright.. but I think mace shouldnt just expose people. I think he should also gain increased damage against debuffed characters (like +20%) or at least, gain increased damage against exposed enemies (yes, on top of them being exposed). Expose by itself isnt good enough these days.
4. Another cool idea is if mace happens to have things go his way, and use Smite on an exposed enemy, they're stunned for a turn or two. Seems kinda fun and reliant on luck (shatterpoint +smite being off cooldown) and makes sense. Mace Windu smiting someone he's shatterpointed should be brutal.
Anyway what do you all think?

And B2 with an insane dispell.
I don't get it why a debuff can be resisted, but a buff removal always works
Yeah cant forget B2's epic dispell too, maybe the best one out.
At the very least it's probably going to make him a very useful Jedi in the AAT raid when running Jedi teams, but there's no ceiling on the benefits. If he's primarily buffing other Jedi as a commander that kind of works with his typical role from a canon perspective. I get he was a beast but most days he seems to have basically been managing/coordinating other Jedi.
He's a pain to farm and I only have him at 4* I think, so I hope you're right and the commander thing isn't enough. But I have a feeling he's gonna be a necessity once the ships are out.
Don't forget about Teebo's Dispell + TM reduction on dispell from Bring Low
You wish you knew Mace. Hes a black jedi.
uh not really. i have him back at 4* and haven't touched him in months and no plans to go back to him.
The level, gear or stars of Mace may be completely unrelated to ships... or it could be directly related. We don't know
Heck commanders could be an entirely separate character to get.
Yeah, I suppose this is all true. But at the very least, Mace's regular character now is sub par. Hes also worse than the other commanders.
Aw, Did someone poo in your soup? Did they resemble a certain Mace Windu?
Rebels beat the Empire and the Empire took over from the Jedi, so its kinda makes sense if you look at it that way.
Sure 1v1 Mace would wreck Snackbar and Tarkin in SW universe, but clearly Snackbar is the best fleet commander of all time, Tarkin is not as good as him, and Mace just kinda gets the short end of everthing (Including arms heh).
I would also just be plenty happy if they made Smite deal +50% damage for each buff removed. Or just apply buff immunity. Unavoidable would also be a huge benefit, like Teebo's dispel.
Either way, Mace definitely needs something. For one of the most aggressive and powerful Jedi, it really is odd that they made him an incredibly boring and ineffective tank.
