Abilities

Ability	From level	Costs	Does
Second Wind Steady yourself and catch your breath: health returns over eight seconds.	1	10 mana, 30 s cooldown	HealOverTime Life 3 (+0.5 a level) for 8 s
Hold the Line Sejal's form: plant your feet and shout them onto you. Every creature within six metres already fighting your party turns on you for three seconds, and for six seconds blows on you land a fifth lighter. Once every 24 seconds.	1	24 s cooldown
Hill-Shout Sejal's form: a shout from the belly that carries over hills. You and every player within fifteen metres get two fifths of your stamina back at once, and a second breath of health over six seconds. Once every 45 seconds.	1	45 s cooldown	HealOverTime Life 2 (+0.3 a level) for 6 s
Rallying Shout The Warrior's shout: you and your party within twelve metres swing harder -- weapon blows 10% stronger -- and stand steadier -- stuns and knockdowns a fifth shorter -- for twelve seconds. An offensive buff: it takes the place of another you hold. Once every 30 seconds.	1	30 s cooldown
Intervene The Warrior's leap: to the ally you aim at, up to fifteen metres, and for four seconds the blows creatures aim at them land on you instead, while you stand by them. Once every 20 seconds.	10	20 s cooldown
Challenge Call a creature out: your threat on it becomes its highest and a tenth more, and it must come at you for three seconds. A boss heeds one challenge in fifteen seconds. Once every 12 seconds.	11	12 s cooldown
Last Stand The Warrior's refusal to fall, always with you -- never cast. Once a fight, the blow that would kill you leaves you standing at one health, and for three seconds every blow on you lands three tenths lighter (that ward always takes your defensive slot). It is back once the fight is over.	20	1 s cooldown
Brace Set your feet and take it: for four seconds you take 30% less from everything (a defensive buff).	20	30 s cooldown	Ward 30 for 4 s
War Cry A roar that turns every creature within eight metres already fighting your party on you: your threat on each becomes its highest and a tenth more, and it must come at you for a second and a half. Once every 30 seconds.	31	30 s cooldown
