Spell names sound familiar

Anyway, will there be some kind of chain to pull the target to you for Deceive? That would look great

For the last missing skill, probably something that needs you to get in range. Maybe something like:
Dark Step- Gains up to x seconds of invisibility and moves towards the target. Does bonus damage when you attack the target. Each second in invisibility reduces the bonus damage.

or

True Shadow- Creates a shadow of the hero on the opposite end of the enemy. Both the hero and the shadow attacks the target at the same time, dealing damage based on his attack damage. Fears the target if the shadow attacks from the front.

Image appears where Netherstrike would teleport SB. Synergises with Killer Instinct to allow you to fear and thrash some face.

spell names would be changed.. haha.

i was thinking of another ranged skill since
his 2 passives and blink already contribute to a physical dps side.

 

[13lade619]

So I sent the map to iPeez for some terraining since i;m kinda busy right now.

EDIT:

And I think it was a good decision since he's doing awesome so far!

Spoiler

Cool new hero! I really like his ability to assasinate things

Anyway, I'm not sure if its a glitch or something, but Tainted Shuriken gives me some lag when it ends, do you flush loads of structs or something?
Plus, I'm not very sure if his Scythes skill is supposed to apply Grim Reaper when the hero does not have the skill active?

I think you forgot to mention that the Shuriken has an Atk ratio. It seems to do more damage than stated in the tooltip.

Any chance of giving some of his skills an SP ration? It would be nice to see an SP assassin.

EDIT: Just noticed something. I don't like how his Scythes keep giving me weird messages telling me that I can't target there. Its kinda irritating since the terrain is really detailed (I think doodads and cliff levels obstruct casting of Shockwave/whatever spell you based it off).

<Uploading fix now.. thanks>

i havent experience any fps drop. just checked now...

Plus, I'm not very sure if his Scythes skill is supposed to apply Grim Reaper when the hero does not have the skill active?

it was a typo on coding, i was checking for lvl for ability level where i shoulve checked for buff level. Fixed.

I think you forgot to mention that the Shuriken has an Atk ratio. It seems to do more damage than stated in the tooltip.

i typo'd again on the numbers on the code . its flat damage. Fixed.
(because it would bounce multiple times on 1v1, it would amplify)

Any chance of giving some of his skills an SP ration? It would be nice to see an SP assassin.

the plan was a skill based build and a pure dps build.

EDIT: Just noticed something. I don't like how his Scythes keep giving me weird messages telling me that I can't target there. Its kinda irritating since the terrain is really detailed (I think doodads and cliff levels obstruct casting of Shockwave/whatever spell you based it off).

idk if i could fix that in a hurry. i'll look into it.

The new hero is pretty neat.
But I found a bug with Killing Intent.

Sometimes it teleports me to corpses.
(How does that work? Did I accidentally order my Darkslayer to mercilessly stab the corpse? )
One time it teleported me across the whole map! From the small neutral camp with the ghost to the neutral Lich in the middle of the map!

I died twice because of this. That made me pretty sad.

But I'm really looking forward to the new hero. Do you have any ideas for his spells yet?

 

[13lade619]

thanks, i'll look into that.

[Earlenlajnen]

Nice!

 

[joohen]

i think i found a bug? the item beside iron sword is also named iron sword.

 

[13lade619]

bump!..

3 spells completed for the Witch King.

[Earlenlajnen]

Really good! So is this update coming faster?

But damn you for making such a cool Witch King!
I was also going to make a Witch King... but he's significantly different.

And he isn't that... hard coded.

EDIT: I really like that fire barrage of yours!

 

[13lade619]

probably tomorrow..

crunching time since the school year begins next week for me.

after the witch king will be a multiplayer ready version (but without items yet).

EDIT

He was considered to be centuries ahead of his time, but Magnus has strayed to a different path.
Proud. Arrogant. Powerful!
He even has the bravado to declare himself the dreaded Witch King.

Update will come tonight

*SORRY the school year starts for me tomorrow...
maybe tomorrow night.*.

Nice! The Witch King is awsome! :thup:
Haha... Magnus! In Sweden that is a really usual name!

Anyway. Here is a list of suggestions/bugs:

-IMO the Gravity Chaos looks a little weird. The units stay a little to long in the air and got the same speed all the time.
Try increasing the speed of the ascension/fall and make the units slow down when they begin to fall.
-Got some AIDS errors when using Sacred Spear (Can't get index of 0). Really good skill though. Works perfectly. My favourite.
-Glacial Shroud seems a little overpowered. Lvl 1 gives me +29 Armor at level 25!

Thanks for adding me to the Loading Screen! ^^

Offtopic: Are you busy with school or can you maybe edit your custom skin? I posted on my old thread. Thanks!

 

[Zack1996]

Awesome new hero

I really liked his combo of Sacred Spear + Gravity Chaos + Frozen Gale
The one thing that bothers me is the accuracy of Sacred Spear. It is very difficult to get it to hit your target(s) even once, so its nearly impossible for it to hit the same target twice.
Frozen Gale is pretty cool. I like how you need to let it charge up, since it synergises really well with his other skills which disables the enemies.
Gravity Chaos does way too much damage against the neutrals. I managed to take out about 3/4 of the Dragon's health with the combo. The Dragon isn't giving me the buff, BTW. Was the bonus removed?
Glacial Shroud is a pretty neat concept, although I suspect it'll create another Jax. The only weakness I can see is spell resistance, which isn't really covered by this spell. This makes him pretty tanky against physical heroes and squishy against casters. He tanks the tower really well, BTW.
Arc Lightning seems fairly random. It doesn't really synergise much with the rest of his skills. Although I must admit, it would be pretty nice to see Magnus building attack speed and rushing Arc Lightning and other disables abilities.

Overall, wonderful hero Will try and get an attack speed build going with him

Once again, the dragon isn't giving me any bonuses after I kill him. Is it intended?

EDIT: Tried out the attack speed build by stacking boots. I was suddenly amazed.
I had 600 movement speed. I never knew the movement speed bonuses stacked, cool Just a question, though, did you trigger the movement speed bonuses?

The attack speed build turned out fairly good, but not anywhere as good as the SP build, since he is not very durable with just attack speed alone. Although it may change if the actual items had attack speed + health. AP + AS Hybrid items would work pretty nicely on this guy.

i'm in the middle of recoding the neutral buffs using BuffStruct.
i finished the simple ones first (Ms, Armor, MReg)

the dragon and venom arent finished yet.

The one thing that bothers me is the accuracy of Sacred Spear. It is very difficult to get it to hit your target(s) even once, so its nearly impossible for it to hit the same target twice.

i think the most effective range is in the middle. it clusters a bit t\better there. it's supposed to deal heavy damage upon multiple hits so yeah...

EDIT: Tried out the attack speed build by stacking boots. I was suddenly amazed.

yes, Status stacking is taken care of by Jesus4Lyf's system.

Next phase is balancing some numbers with Excel.
*Note i will not be listing all changes in the changelog.. since there will be really many.
