This concept is strange... In both forms he has 4k health at lvl 20, so he should be considered a tank. His human abilities are crazy OP (slow for 70% and silence for 2 seconds). Also his mount is stupid, because the default mount has 40% movement speed increase...
I decided to make him a specialist based on his two different heroics. In his lore it says he much prefers his human form so I thought it might be a cool idea to keep him that way for a game. The specialist part of his heroics in my eyes was that in his human form he'd have to be much more careful since he isn't as strong as his Worgen form. His Human Form was meant to be a full or close to full tank. And his worgen form was meant to revolve around his auto attacks to give him crazy DPS. Sorry it was un focused it was just a thought. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this. It was also hard to make his abilities too flashy since his damage was meant to be AA based.
So wait, his trait is Fury, which is almost identical to Sonya's Fury trait, and not his Human/Worgen form transformation? Instead the Human form AND Worgen form are his Heroic options??? The f*ck?! Why did you think that was a good idea?! Actually, why would Genn even fight in his human form in the first place if he's obviously much stronger as a Worgen? Now I do realize that changing forms would be a cool feature but it would not make much sense to switch between human and werewolf like Worgen forms in a battle if Worgen is obviously much stronger and faster physically.
But whatever. The first changes I would make is to make that Human/Worgen transformation mechanic as his trait instead of Fury and make up two actual Heroics for him. The Primary (Basic) Abilities also seems underwhelming and doesn't really reflect the nature of a savage and dangerous Worgen.
What is this hero supposed to do, by the way? Like, what is his role? You do say that he's a Specialist but how is he supposed to be a Specialist? What is he specialized to? This hero concept lacks focus and that's why I don't know what his role is. He does look like an Assassin more than anything else I think.
And about that Special Mount, I would just make it as an optional cosmetic mount giving the same amount of movement speed bonus like all the other normal mounts do. When it comes to special mounts and their design my rule of thumb is this; if the character is perfectly capable of riding a normal mount, like a horse or kodo, then giving any special mounts is pointless unless they're optional and only for cosmetic purposes to reflect the hero's nature. Like Diablo's Terror Charge is.
