I'd say that yes, Defend could do with a rework... I've been thinking something along the lines of " While activated Lothar's movement and attack speed are reduced, but he receives a 50% damage reduction. The first attack received is fully blocked"... So yeah, less of a chance thingy. (It also makes it more similar to Wc3 defend)
I'm not completely sure what you mean with the stances... Is the off-stance always active (unless defending)?
...
I guess we could make Duel "auto-target" AoE and skill shots. The problem I have with the target not being able of using that is that it could render some heroes helpless, could be a bit too harsh.
...
Agreed completely on the Taunt part. 4s sounds good.
...
Post duel debuff sounds nice... I was also thinking of adding a Level 1 talent called "Reflect" that gives a chance to reflect damage while defending.
I might have a few suggestions though :
- As far as I like "Defend"'s idea, wouldn't it be more appropriate to reduce a percentage of damage, than relying on luck here ? The drop in movement speed is a good enough handicap to make it similar to a permanent Block at 65% imo.
Since Defend is very situational (well, Duel+Defend), I'd say it'd be logical to have 2 stances on W. The "normal" one would give a passive bonus to either attack speed or attack damage. Switching to Defend would remove it ofc.
- For "Duel", I'd say the target can only use auto-attacks and single target (non skill shot) spells during that time. If not, aoe and skill shots would ruin this.
- If "Taunt"'s cast is instant, i'd say 4s and not 5s. The reason is Mosh Pit (ETC), it lasts 4s and has a 0.75s cast time, but the enemies won't attack him. The area of effect could be a bit more important, but 4s seems right to me.
- "Sword Breaker", I'd modify it a bit, because it seems overkill to me (moreover with "Dueling Tactics"), and the name indicates something else imo. How about applying a damage debuff (say 30 or 35%) for X second AFTER the duel ends ? Lothar breaks the enemy's weapon after winning the duel.
Here it is. Of course those are only ideas. The concept is really fun, and he might be one of the only warriors I'd like to play. :)
