Description:

What does this mod do:
Instead of snaring the target in a trap, Wardens cage is now about goading your target to overextend themselves, in battle. The debuff lasts the entire battle and makes the target unbreakable, decreases armour and defence slightly – but also increases melee attack too.

Base Problem:
There were a few things I disliked about this ability.

• RNG of large entities such as an arcane phoenix or a mounted Eltharion would knock down foes, wasting precious seconds of the ability.
• The fact that in many cases, you need the snare effect to stop the target running, to get it to low hp to then capture, but by then the effect has run out.
• It was SUPER frustrating when the above happened on a battle that I only manually fought specifically to capture the target.

Solution Reasoning:

• To address the "can’t catch me" factor. This ability is no longer a snare, instead it makes the target unbreakable. Fighting to the death after getting baited by you to overextend themselves.
• To minimise RNG rage, the ability lasts the entire game. Assuming you can win the battle, you’ve got the lord.
• To ensure the risk/reward of the ability remains, the stat modifiers of the ability have changed. The melee defence and armour penalties have been severely reduced and a new melee attack buff is applied. Your foe is more dangerous when caged, to minimise a "fire and forget" mentality for the ability.

Note:
If your target is already routing, casting this on them will not stop the rout. Be sure to make them unbreakable before they break!
