Hey guys I need some basic skill ideas for my heros Lord of the rings map

[Astal]

Im making a fun little co-op LOTR map where the player has to destroy all the orc towers before the time runs out otherwise sauron spawns and the heros have to kill him to win.

For heros i have the following. I would add more but im not sure if i want repeat heros (ones that are too similar) The skills i have idea for atm are listed below. Im looking for simple ones because im horrible at scripting spells, and they never work for me. Unless your willing to script it try not to suggest somthing that needs scripting work.

Aragorn
Athelas - Rejuvination spell
Presence of the King - Command Aura

Legolas
Elven Grace - Dodge + crit
Dexterity - Attack speed

Gimli
Bash
Cleave
Devotion aura
Avatar

Theoden
Rally the Rohirrim - move speed aura
Spear throw - stun + damage


Gandalf
Flame of Anor - Mana regen aura
Grace of the Maiar - Resurrection
Call of the Eagles - Summon Hawks
Chain Lightning

Frodo
The one ring - invis with +damage

You could always give him the Barrage ability to let him strike multiple units at once.

dupe the ability "Barrage" and give it to him. make sure the range of the spell is the same as his own personal range, and he'll attack all the enemies in range. should be automatic once equipped. dunno if you can associate a mana cost to it.

k thanks man

I have got an idea for Merri&Pippin! Use the Mortar Team as model

Agility based, of course. Give them a short ranged attack, which is stones thrown at the enemy (if you know how to do this, you could add a catapult arc to the stone)

Skills

Run - Increases movement speed for M&P and for nearby allies for some seconds. Base it on Scroll of the Beast. AoE and +speed increases with levels.

Hurl Boulder - Now, this is a large rock. Basically Storm Bolt.

Arcane stones - Arrow skill. Increases damage and make enemies dizzy (decreasing movement and attack speed). Base it on Cold Arrows, but change the projectile to Demon Hunter [Demon Form] and make the buff look like Thunderclap dizziness instead of cold.

Treebeard - Ulti. Calls upon the ancient ent Treebeard. Just make him really heavy
