Need Druid spell/ability ideas!

[CraZyFroG]

The hero I am making is a Druid that comes with 3 basic abilities and 1 ultimate.

I am expecting the hero to be a hybrid, with both offensive (dmg), defensive (healing) and feral (transforming into an animal, prefer Bears)

So what I need is creative and serious Druid hero spells/abilities ideas.

You're welcome to suggest one ability or just an entire hero skill set (containing 4 skills). And also, I would appreciate a few passive abilities and see how they fit to the Hero.

Thanks for your time

Level 3: Each cyclone deals 200 damage. Stuns for 3 seconds.

Nature health - channeling
Starts losing mana rapidly healing allies at target AOE location relatively to mana lost. Location AOE depends on hero's intelligence. Cannot cast this while Shape Shifted.

Shape shift

Lycanthrope - passive
Passively increases shape shift's duration and reduces mana cost. Also, automatically transforms into current level of Shape Shift beast during full moon (somewhere between 11.00 pm till 3.00 am in Warcraft time) gaining Rage Feast ability - for each % of missing hp increases attack speed by 2% and gives 0.5% Life Steal. Can also cast Armageddon (read ultimate description).
It can be turned off to prevent auto shape shift, but you wont be able to shape shift again during full moon. Cannot turn off while already shifted.

Level 1: Increases duration by 5 seconds and decreases mana cost by 33%.
Level 2: Increases duration by 8 seconds and decreases mana cost by 66%.
Level 3: Increases duration by 11 seconds and decreases mana cost by 100%.

Armageddon - ultimate, got inspired by D2
Creates nature's apocalypse, calling meteor showers from the skies that blast everything on the ground around the druid. Duration 15 seconds. Cannot cast this while Shape Shifted.

Level 1: Each meteor deals 100 AOE damage.

Vine Trap

This is one of my old spell ideas. Works well for some tree hugger Druid guy.

First Druid places a Vine Trap. ( Use image for trap, a good texture for image would be: ReplaceableTextures\Splats\A_AncientUberSplat.blp )

Then if some enemy unit steps in to the trap, it goess off and entangles all enemies in X AoE.

Simple, ey?

The idea is that trap is not invisible. It is fully visible for caster and his allies, but only partly visible to enemies. You need to change images alpha over time. The closer the enemy hero is the trap, the more alpha it has ( Something like: Range 500 = alpha 0 , Range 400 = alpha 50 , Range 300 = alpha 100, Range 200 = alpha 150 etc.)

So, if enemies move carefully they can avoid these traps. If they just run here and there without watching their steps they get trapped.

What ya think?

edit. Idea #2

Aspect of the Wolf ( luls )

This is for some animal feral Druid guy.

When Druid casts a spell, a big transparent spiritual wolf appears around him. ( Druid is inside that big bad ass transparent Wolf ) Wolf protects druid. Whenever Druid is about to take any damage, Wolf takes it instead of him. Wolf also does some really sick damage and adds move and attack speed to Druid.

The idea is that Wolf has no timed life, and it protects Druid untill it dies. ( So its like a Shield + huge damage and attack&move speed boost. )

The hard part is that you need to make Wolf always play the same animation as Druid does. Otherwise it wont look cool. ( And yea, you must also constantly move Wolf to Druids position, and keep him facing to same direction as Druid )

Here are my suggestions for his abilities...

Nature's Bidding (Active, Target AoE, Channeling)
The Druid calls upon nature to summon green, magical roots within 400 range of the target point. These roots periodically heal any friendly unit standing on them and giving them an armor boost, or simply debuff any enemy unit standing on them, slowing them down and taking up damage over time.

The initial targets, friend or foe including the Druid himself, are completely entangled, rendered immobile. Friendly units affected in this manner are healed more effectively and given much more armor. Enemies on the other hand, take more damage per second. Either way, entangled units can still cast spells or lash out their attacks.

Feral Howlcry (Active, No Target)
The Druid lets loose a fury-driven howl that travels down to the inner workings of all nearby enemies within a 450 AoE radius, knocking them back while at the same time dealing damage. This also works on buildings and trees.

Natural Firepower (Passive)
Every time the Druid attacks, his attack damage increases a bit. This is so, in every attack. However, the Druid consumes 10 Mana per attack in order to stack up his attack damage. When he has not enough Mana, his attacks won't increase in power. When Natural Firepower reaches the maximum number of attack damage to be increased, the mana consumption will stop. The additional attack damage will degenerate if the Druid doesn't attack for quite some time.

Trilycantrophic Bonding (Ultimate)
The Druid makes use of his ultimate weapon. The Druid transforms himself into a Guardian Wolf while summoning three powerful Guardian Spirit Wolves to serve the now transformed Druid. When the Druid casts Feral Howlcry, the other three wolves would do the same thing, though their own version of the spell is much weaker.

Additionaly, the Druid cannot be damaged in his wolf state (not invulnerable, but just can't take any damage no matter how many times he's attacked). The Guardian Spirit Wolves are the key to his temporal indestructibility. Once these wolves disappear or get themselves killed, the Druid will revert back into his original form.

The spell lasts as long as the Druid has mana.
