Spell Ideas for my Archer

[Happy]

hey guys...

im making a map like you could imagine ^^ so i need for my archer 2 "normal" spells....

at the moment it has:

1st skill : Hide
A changed version of windwalk.

Ultimate :
A periodic passivly shot elemental arrow onto a random enemy unit in range.

what im searching for is spells fitting to an archer. means nothing like an arrow hitting the unit and taking it over the half of the map and then exploding.
it shall be at least a bit realistic^^
and one thing too...they shall be active.

thanks in advance and hoping for good ideas^^

happy

EDIT: oh and by the way...could anyone tell me which was the spell destroying HP and giving mana (everything on your hero...so the casting one^^)?? i cant find it =(

How about

How about some kind of Aimed Shot? Takes time to cast and maybe not hitting one target but continues around 600 range or somthing and hitting all in the line. And how about a trap? Frost trap, place an Invisible frost trap, the unit/hero who enters gets frozen for a period (Single attack removes the frozen buff)

 

[Dinowc]

it shall be at least a bit realistic^^

like the current are

Razor Arrow
Shoots an arrow in front of the archer, which pierces trough enemy units it hits, dealing weapon damage. The arrow ignores enemy unit's armor and deals double damage if it hits the unit from behind.

 

[Deathtrex]

Can you make that?

Dino can you make that trigger? Cause i can actually use that for my map too

Powershot

Takes time to release a powerful shot at a target enemy unit dealing huge damage and stun. Damage and stun is based on how long it cast (just set an amount on this). Max of 3 seconds casting time. Also reveals the targeted unit on the map. Casting range of 2000.

 

[Nenad]

Repeating Shot

The Archer fires an arrow at a targeted unit, dealing normal damage, slowing it's attack speed by 8%, movement speed by 15%, and reducing armor by 1. Each successive shot lowers the targets attack speed by an additional 1%, movement speed by 3% and armor by 1. Stacks up to 5 times, 3 second cooldown.

Change the values as you want x)

 

[Necrach]

About the hp-mana thing, I think you need to trigger that. Which is, fortunately, not very hard

Got a couple of ideas
Arcane Aim - Have a few seconds casting time. When the arrow is shot, it have a random magical effect on it (could be a poison arrow, a mana burn arrow, a fire arrow, a frost arrow, etc) Note: If possible, aiming (casting time) should not reveal invisible Archer
ALTERNATIVE: Aims until unit comes too far away, then shoots, the power of the shot increasing with each casting time second. Should have a maximum casting time.

Hunter's mark - When cast on an enemy, the archer immediately starts attacking it. Decreases the unit's armor, and all attacks made by the Archer at close range (150 or someting) deals extra damage. Lasts until the Archer is issued another order! Note: nice assassin combo with windwalk

Drow - This is, if your Archer have the Sylvanas model. Because then an active metamorphis turning her into the Dark Ranger model. Effect: Turns Ethereal for the duration of the spell. Note: Have a lot of possibilites for more effects, as long as you keep it from becoming overpowered

Marksman's Blessing - Like a Roar, but only affects ranged units!

1- omg, epic idea:thup:

2- my ideas
Hunting Owl
sentinel, but with a unit target instead of tree (or fearie fire with sentinel buff)

Plague arrow
base: fire bolt (nulled)
the archer fires an arrow at a target it then adds a disease cloud ability that affects allies n' nuetral (not enemies) and removes the ability strait away so that the target and units in an area gets affected by it

1- omg, epic idea:thup:

Well, thank you. :thup:

EDIT: I'm Making edit cuz i will get really big trouble if i make new post.


One dude like my spell idea ( ^educator ), so i decided to make icons and spells in sample map.


REMEMBER TO EDIT THE SPELLS AND TO MAKE TRIGGER TO HIDE SPELL BOOK CUZ THEY ARE NOT SO DONE. IF YOU NEED SOMETHING JUST PM ME AND I'LL TRY TO HELP. BUT JUST EDIT WHERE SPELLS ARE SIMILAR ONE WITH OTHER. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT TIME ALSO PM ME AND I'LL FIX THE PROBLEM.


thanks for the attention.

How bout an Active Multi Shot. something like the wardens fan of knives but in a cone shaped zone.

Shoots 3,4,5,ect ... arrows at multiple enemies.

Maybe increase chance to miss for a more realistic aspect.

 

[Rare_Yeoman]

Well, here are a few of the abilities that i've used for my archer hero,

Rapid Fire- increases atk speed for a period of time

Hail of Arrows- Start with the Tinker hero's cluster rockets, replace the modlefile with that of an arrow, and remove the stun.

Also, you mentioned realism, and one thing i'd been trying to incorportate into a ranged hero is min rangge on atks. This could be a great way for ballancing an over powered hero. I personally gave the hero Point Blank Shot which was a passive ability which lowered the min range and increased dmg on atks made within a certain distance of the hero.

Hope this helps you

P.S. if you end up using any of these, i'd appreciate credit, thanks

 

[Chilling]

The spell you're looking for might be Life Siphon or Mana Siphon, unless you want to remove HP from an enemy and get mana in return, in which case you would have to trigger it, which wouldn't be too hard at all.

 

[Happy]

thank you all for your really good spells ^.^

i chose to use the hunters mark spell made by Necrach for sure. i really like it :thup: and its fitting perfectly like you said to the windwalk thingi^^

the other doesnt really fit.

@ shady : your spell is really really good...ill use it in another map if you agree...im working on a couple of maps at the moment^^ and for this archer its bad because it has a similar spell as ulti^^

and for the third spell ill use an arrow reducing movementspeed a bit everytime its hitting an enemy...whether ill make it stackable or not im not sure ^^ but i think its fitting to the windwalk thingi and the hunters mark spell ^^

thanks to all ^^

and for sure Necrach youll get credits in the map im currently working on most of the time...and shady youll get credits in the other one where ill use your spell^^

Okay no problems

i come with another interesting idea,

Spell name: COTE:SEF ( Call Of The Elements:Storm, Earth and Fire )


Description:

<name of archer> call the elements Storm, Earth and Fire.Each elemental strikes enemy twice, but the second wave of elemental arrows will deal half of first arrows but effect will be greater,( i mean this: once storm arrow once earth arrow once fire arrow, wait 1 second and again storm,earth,fire arrows be launched ) in the end of the strikes enemies near the targeted unit will be silenced for <seconds> seconds. ( 200-250-300 range ) ( silence buff will show on the enemy target with description: This unit is under the effects of elements, this unit is silenced. )Targeted unit will be revealed on the map for <seconds>. ( targeted = the unit that is selected for COTE spell )

THIS IS ULTI SPELL!!

Mana Cost: <you choose>
Damage of arrows and effects of the arrows:
Fire: For 1.5 seconds the unit will take <damage> fire damage every 0.5 seconds. Second fire arrow for 3 seconds the unit will take <half of the first fire arrow damage> fire damage every 0.30 seconds.:thup: (example: 60 damage over 1.5 seconds every 0.5 seconds, second arrow 10 damage over 3 seconds every 0.30 seconds. 1.5 secs every 0.5 secs = 60 = 20 x 3 damage ; 3 secs every 0.30 secs = 10 x 10 = 100 damage )
Storm: Big amount of damage. Second arrow 50% of the first storm arrow damage. ( example: 90 damage ; second arrow 45 damage )
Earth: Slow for 2 seconds. Second earth arrow slow for 1 second but with 2 seconds stun. ( this stun will be active when 4 seconds are passed )

Kind of hard.

here is one think i recommend for you:

• sef spell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to COTE:SEF
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play Storm,Earth and fire. Heed my call.mp3

( sound option can be found at Sound - Play music theme, you choose imported. First import my theme song then remove " war3imported/ " and save. That's all. )

Click here for sef sound ( i cut it myself from song power of the horde )


Hope you like it.

Multishot
Fires arrow to a unit in 300 aoe of target dealing 75/150/225/300 dmg each.

 

[Whoareyou.]

Perfect Aim - #% to crit %

Ranger Instincts - Most rangers are skilled and know how to aim their bow, grants 5% attack speed, 2% attack, 2% movement speed [Lvl1]

Random Shots - 25% To miss, but adds 10% more attack, and 5% more attack speed [Lvl1]

Shady, the thing is, is that your spell is actually unoriginal, its from Archer Wars, at least give credit to them if you're going to steal a spell

WHAT!! xhqxqhxhqhxhqhxqh dude xhqxhqhxqhxhqhxqh this is the first time i hear about Archer Wars!:nuts: If you think i stole their spells, you're going in vary wrong way.This is my personal spell and i think about her 40 minutes, if you don't see i even modify my post for updates! Ask before you post.



EDIT:
My first idea was COTE:WAEF ( Call of the elements: Water, Air, Earth and Fire ), but i hear the song power of the horde and rename my spell to SEF.
