Potential changes for Mordo

Someone asked for it, so here it is! My crack at a little improvement on Mordo
Signature Ability: Mystical Prowess
- When blocking, Mordo is immune to Degeneration effects of any kind (with nodes as an exception). If any are active, he immediately shrugs them off once he blocks
- For every 5 seconds that pass, Mordo passively gains x% special damage (scales with sig) and x% ability accuracy on special attacks (also scales with sig)
Base kit:
- Keep the astral evade, power gain, passive AAR immunity, all that stuff he already has can stay
- Mordo’s mastery over the mystic arts allows him to benefit from class advantage when facing opponents of the mystic class (this doesn’t give them disadvantage, it just gives Mordo advantage)
- Attacking Mordo’s block with a physical attack sinks the attack into his cool magic shield, inflicting 25% exhaustion for 6 seconds (only the crit damage decrease, not like LC’s exhaustion). Upon reaching a max stack of 2, the opponent is Heal Blocked
- Any projectile attacks against Mordo’s block deal no damage
- Well timed blocks grant Mystic Awareness. These charges stack to 5, increasing critical rate by 15%
- After 15 seconds of no change, these charges begin to fall off at a rate of one every 3 seconds
- Mystic Awareness allows Mordo to be ready for surprises, expending one charge to cancel any passive evasion effect or auto-block effect (acts like true strike, like “evade failed” style)
- Mystic Awareness can all be expended by landing a heavy attack, granting a Fury buff for each charge expended, increasing attack by 20%
- Special 1: 50% chance to stun for 2.5 seconds. Also inflicts degeneration, dealing 80% of mordo’s attack as direct damage. This degeneration can also trigger through blocks
- Special 2: The initial kick is Unblockable if mystic awareness is at 3 or more charges at the time of activation. Soul barb triggers through the opponent’s block (keep the damage the same)
- Special 3: Keep the fury/regen the same. Also, Mordo’s connection to the mirror dimension during this attack copies all of the opponents currently active buffs for 100% longer than their original duration. If no buffs can be copied, Mordo instead gains a 50% fury buff for 20 seconds. This special attack also grants 5 mystic awareness charges
Seeing as mordo isn’t currently that bad, I didn’t want to change much, just maybe make his sig more useful and give him some utility that gives him a spot in the current auto-block meta of AW
Thoughts, anyone?

I think that's called fatigue
Fatigue is crit chance. OP was talking about crit damage
