Hero Ability Ideas!

Greetings,

I have refreshed this first post to make it more clear what's hot and what's not.

As you can see below; I have changed the skill ranks, every normal ability has 4 ranks now and the ultimate 2 ranks. All the class skills are passive.

The classes that need abilities: Melee DPS (3), Melee Tank (1), Ranged Supporter (2), Magician DPS (2) and Magician Healer (3).

• Melee DPS:

- Ability 3
- Ultimate

• Melee Tank:
- Class Skill: Hardened Combatant: (Passive) Your skill in defensive acts has increased significantly, increasing your health by an additional 15 points and your armor by 0.2 for each point of strength.

I like the concept of Shield of Honor. That's a nice one!

For the others, a tank shouldn't sacrifice 95% of his health when he is the one taking the hits. That's a one-shot kill!

Great ideas guys, I have added quite a few of them. +rep to both!

 

[Psiblade94122]

Ranged Supporter: (focus on little dps and supporter in the context of summoning pets/shooting stings that reduce x of stats of enemy, etc)
- Class Skill: Marksmanship - This unit's attacks will never miss. If this skill is used, then nearby heros' attacks will never miss.
Toxins - The marksman adds a coat of toxing on her arrows paralizing them every time they hit. Each level of this skill increases the time they are paralized. They will recover over time, but will be slowed momentarily after they are paralized. (applies for all of the marksman's skills that use arrows)

Aimed Volley - Fires off a volly of arrows at the target, each peircing a specific body part. Each level will increase the ammount of arrows shot from using this skill.
Eye - High chance to miss, any target spell aside from target self from a blinded unit will misfire to a target location or unit.
Arm - Decreased attack speeds
Leg - Decreased movement speeds
Heart - No Hit point regeneration
Hand - No normal attack
Foot - Disabled movment , no evasion

Song of the skies - A song that lets nearby companions forget about the weight of the world around them and allows them to move about more swiftly. Increased movement and attack speeds, grants evasion to all allied heros. Foes will be in awe of the song dropping their guard and will move at a sluggish pace decreasing their movement and attack speeds.

Seed of Yggdrasill - Attaches a seed from the legendary tree Yggdrasill to an arrow to be shot deep into the earth. The roots spawned from this will quickly entangle monsters near the seed compleatly disabling them untill the seed runs out of nutrients from the ground. If the seed is shot into flesh then the seedling will aquire a taste for flesh eating whatever it can while it entangles nearby monsters.

Melee DPS: (focus on damage)
- Class Skill: Heat Raiser - Every time an ability is used, the attack and movement speed of this hero will increase.
- Rageing fists - Throws an uncountable number of punches at the target dealing damage based on your hero's own attack. The number of punches increases with level. This will stun the target momentarily from the juggle.
- Blazing Helix - Throws a corkscrew uppercut dealing rapid damage to the monsters in the immidiate area around you. The affected targets are burned and will take extra damage from attacks and damage per second.
- Feint - (passive) Throws a fake punch that will cause whatever you are attacking to guard the wrong area allowing you to hit the target for extra damage. (pretty much critical strike) This will activate Heat Riser.
- Ultra Finisher Combo!!! - Throws a Feint at the target (causes all damage inflicted by the ulti to doubble) at point blank throw a Blazing Helix to burn the target (makes the target take extra damage) and Finish it off with a Raging fists to pummle your weakened opponent. The levels for the skills used will be based off the level of the ultimate, the skills used in the ultimate can still be used even if they are in cooldown.

Pinning Shot:
The (Ranged Supporter) pins the target to the ground with a single shot. The target is unable to move and has suffers a penalty to armor and attack speed

Level 1 - Unable to move for 2 seconds, -4 armor, -40% attack speed
Level 2 - Unable to move for 3 seconds, -6 armor, -60% attack speed
Level 3 - Unable to move for 4 seconds, -8 armor, -80% attack speed

Wolf Cry
Summons a Fierce wolf companion to fight by the Heroes side. The wolf companion is strong and agile and gains abilities as his bond with the hero becomes stronger:

Level 1 - The Wolf has x amounts of hit points and deals y damage. (balance it out ^^). It also has a 10% chance to evade attacks
Level 2 - The Wolf has more hit points and damage, has a 15% chance to evade attacks and can bite a unit, holding it down for 2 seconds.
Level 3 - The wolf has even more hit points and damage, has a 20% chance to evade attacks and retains the bite. Furthermore whenever the ranged supporter Pins down a unit, the wolf gains overwhelm, gaining a 80% chance to do 2x the amount of damage as long as the unit is pinned down.

Change the values as you please, these are the concepts ^^
