Old Ben Rework
He used to be one of the go to leaders under the dodge meta but now is just sub-par considering how awesome he was. Simple rework to give him a suedo Taunt. Give his Unique a Zeta that revives all allies on Old Ben's defeat with all of his buffs. That way you have to target him before the other toons or use toons like Boba and DT to block revives.

Him and hermit Yoda should just get synergy. Like hermit Yoda has a special that procs his strike me down whenever he heals an ally to full health.
If you aren't going to be serious please leave my threads.
By GK already has a taunt.
He really didn't mention anything about boosting old Ben's leader ability. Just his unique. With a unique like that he could fit into many teams.
Wish he could ability block empire characters for two turns and everyone else for 1 turn in addition to the offense down.
Really? If you want to talk DS and dodge meta you are talking Zaul.
His unique is useless when it's never triggered. Your pseudo taunt is a pretty great idea, which would give him both arena and raid viability instantly. A zeta to drop cool down of his ability block and add a 2 turn taunt to it would also work.
His damage is terrible, jedi have other leads that are better for most situations (IGD or ZQJ for example). He should definitely have a taunt, especially with all this power creep going on.
Back before Wiggs I would have agreed with you that a taunt would make home great and full the void that Jedi need, but after the number of buffs to Jedi and some nerfs, they haven't really needed a taunt to be good. While a taunt would be good for Jedi I don't think they need one anymore to be viable.
Dodge meta > OHK meta
That's a really good observation.
Sssssh, I'm not gonna give them MY secrets.
100%.
His unique is pointless now too give that buffs either get dispelled by B2 or Baze or become fodder for Boba's stupidly OP can't be evaded execute.

True, but if running him with other Jedi, there is alot of foresight getting slung around these days. Or maybe make his unique Un-Dispellable while theyre at it. IDK, he is one of my favorite characters...period. So Id like to use mine, but he is so vanilla compared with newer toons.
Yeah the OG meta of OHK was garbage and now would be even worse given Speed mods. However I don't think it would matter if Baze or B2 could dispel them because at least they would get the buffs. The other part of my rework is a revive of allies if he is beat last like he is now. Plus this would give your defence some advantage on AI because the AOE dispel usually would be on cooldown when he procs his buffs. It wouldn't be ideal but it would make him somewhat viable in the current arena meta.
Back during the Dodge meta I remember somebody on my shard who used 7* gear 1 Old Ben at lead which always triggered his buffs since people were just starting Wiggs and B2 was a lot rarer. It was a nightmare.
Only 50% for a Zeta seems a little low but I love this idea. Means he doesn't need a taunt and punishes the opponent for using AOE which would make Wiggs less useful as well as the AOE buff removers.
I like it
