Stances -- Full Plate and Claw Hands

Caesara has 2 different stances -- a defensive status ailment-oriented Full Plate stance, and an aggressive damage-oriented Claw Hands stance. Caesara can use her Prayer to Ferromant ability (5 seconds cooldown) to switch between stances and gain a 5 second aura associated with her new stance.

Caesara's Full Plate stance gives her nothing unique, but while the Full Plate aura is active, Caesara takes half damage from all attacks and regenerates 4 HP per second.

Caesara's Claw Hands stance allows her to deal double damage with all attacks and she gains Combat Movement + 100%, but she loses 10 HP/second. While her Claw Hands aura is active, the HP loss is removed.

Mind

Prayer to Ferromant (initially unlocked) - Toggles between Full Plate and Claw Hands stances, and provides the stance's respective aura for 5 seconds. Prayer to Ferromant has a 5 second cooldown to match base aura duration. Cacophony (initially unlocked) - For 3 seconds, all enemies are forced to target Caesara (like Cook's Provoke, but less priority and duration). Full Plate stance pulls enemies closer to Caesara and Full Plate aura allows Caesara to take half damage during Cacophony's duration, while Claw Hands stance deals Attack x 1 damage to a small area on Cacophony trigger (Attack x 2 damage with Claw Hands aura). Through Soul Triad, can have its damage and cooldown improved, better HP Regen and invincibility during Full Plate aura, and 4x
