Level 1: Mount/Dismount - Left click to switch between mounted and on foot.
Level 3: Blade of Purity (on foot only) - Glorfindel calls upon his inner strength and purity, causing a brilliant light to emanate from him which gives him a small area of effect attack. It also causes him to receive only half damage from enemy abilities. Only available on foot. Not available during Collect Starlight.
Level 3: Wind Rider (mounted only) - Glorfindel's courage and strength inspire his mount to a great effort, giving Glorfindel +40% speed and +50% armor for a short time. He is unable to trample enemy units for the duration of the ability.
Level 5: Collect Starlight - Glorfindel, as a High Elf Lord, is able to enter the Shadow World and surround himself with pure light. For 60 seconds Glorfindel is filled with pure light which slowly restores his hit points and partially repulses melee damage dealt by enemies. The collected starlight can be released. If the Starlight is not released within 60 seconds it will have no effect. Not available during Blade of Purity.
Level 7: Brilliant Illumination - Glorfindel is the only Elf who has seen the Halls of Mandos and returned to Middle-earth, bringing the blessing of the Valar with him. Every 30 seconds he will be completely protected from an enemy attack or ability. (Passive ability)
Level 10: Light of Hope - Glorfindel becomes illuminated in his wrath, blazing brilliantly and terrifying all nearby enemies who dare raise arms against him. For 60 seconds enemy units near Glorfindel become continuously paralyzed.
Level 1 – Lord of the House of the Golden Flower – Glorfindel is one of the finest warriors in Middle-Earth, and his past deeds inspire fear in the enemies of the Free Peoples. Nearby enemies will suffer a slight debuff in attack and armour. Activate to make Glorfindel mount his horse.
Level 3 - Wind Rider (mounted only) - Glorfindel's courage and strength inspire his mount to a great effort, giving Glorfindel +40% speed and +50% armor against pikes and cavalry for a short time. He is unable to trample enemy units for the duration of the ability.

For 60 seconds, Glorfindel slowly restores his hit points, partially repulses melee damage dealt by enemies and it will cause fear on nearby enemies at the sight of the sudden burst of light. The collected starlight can be released. If the Starlight is not released within 60 seconds it will have a weaker effect.

Level 10 – Light of Hope – Glorfindel becomes illuminated in his wrath, blazing brilliantly and terrifying all nearby enemies who dare raise arms against him. For 60 seconds enemies near Glorfindel become constantly paralyzed and Glorfindel's level 1 debuffs cause double their effect.
Well this is definitely something that I'm happy to see. Glorfindel is definitely one of the things in Edain that needs the most attention and it is nice to see that he is now getting some.
I am in in favour of the proposal as it is (although I'm sure that any future versions would still be good).
One potential idea (that I'm not even sure if it is possible or not) would be for the release effect of Collect Starlight to increase the more hits that Glorfindel takes in that time. This could add a bit of extra thinking into the ability (do you wait for a bigger effect but take more damage and maybe reach the 60 seconds, or do you use the ability early on?).
