Rework Concept
The rework focus is in keep the "multiclass" in evidence. Now Varian has 3 Stances since level 1, Berserker Stance: Focus in Twinblades style, Battle Stance: Focus in Colossus Smash style, and Defensive Stance: Focus in Taunt style.
Each Stance grants passive effects that reflects the gameplay style. You can choose your Stance everytime, with 20 seconds cooldown. The Select Stance's Cooldown will be basead on Tier Level, enabling a more powerful and agressive gameplay at endgame.
Varian is the new role Buiser, has self sustain, nice damage and tools to survive.
GREETINGS
Thanks for the attention and I hope you have understood my concept/rework and also my English, I'm so sorry, this is not my main language. :)
I really love those changes, honastly thats how i thought multiclass works when there were rumors about it, only with longer cd- there are talents that reduce it so it needs to be longer by arround 10 sec.
Just furry claws talent that stuns is a bit op, how about make it stun the target only if you charge on it with e after q, making you take a risk in order to stun it.
Also unflagging is too strong for a bruiser, maybe make it work only on defensive stance and only remove cc on other stances.
Keep on the good work!
