I've got some doubts about his polymorph : sheep ultimate, despite liking the concept and the character.

4 seconds of polymorph (They can still move away) every 60 seconds? Doesn't sound too... Great, compared to his other ult, that basically summons an upgraded wave every 35 seconds. I, personally, would pick the teleport ult every day over Polymorph sheep, simply because it isn't that great -- 60 seconds to wait for a 4 second POLYMORPH. I mean the use it's gonna have is to interrupt casts, and not much else, 4 seconds of forcing an enemy to run away every 60 seconds is not a lot, so as far as interrupting casting and stuff goes, Brightwing does it better.

I tend to have a problem with cooldowns, I keep having to come back to a lot of my concepts just to change the cooldowns. I'll try giving it a 40 second cooldown.

Thanks for the feedback!

I think W1 conjurer skin shouldn't be master skin, only skin. For master skin I suggest some mage tier.

At one point his Master Skin was going to be his Default Skin mixed with the Valorous Kirin Tor Regalia set, but I think the Conjurer Skin works better as it helps sell the point of his age and experience as well as being a nod to the old school fans. Plus it makes him look like Gandalf, and who wouldn't want that?

I like the idea of a third warcraft mage next to Jaina and Kael'thas, still I have some problems (or questions):
- Arcane Intellect is also a talent of Jaina. Another name would be needed, I guess.
- Fireball is fine, even if I expected a full arcane mage
- Summon Scorpions is something I totally don't understand. Why is he summoning scorpions? None ever did in the Lore of WoW, or am I wrong?
- Mass Teleport seems kinda weird, but I'm fine with it. Sounds interesting - would they count as normal minions or as summoned?
- Polymorph seems boring next to brightwing's polymorph spell. It's just a stronger version.


1. I named it Arcane Intellect as more of a place holder name then anything. I did recently come up with a more fitting title, "Master of the Arcane" to replace it.
2. People have been making Full Arcane Mage concepts for awhile and I didn't want to compete with them.
3. Like others have mentioned, Summon Scorpions is a Spell all the way back from Warcraft 1.
4. Originally it was just a global Teleport to an ally, but I thought that was both too powerful for Level 10 and didn't give him enough impact in pushes and team fights. Dalaran Troops count as Summons, so they can't be Promoted, but you can use Arcane Infusion on them.
5. I'll give you that one, but what's a more iconic spell then Polymorph? Plus, Sonya's Leap is essentially just a stronger version of Muradin's Dwarf toss, but that didn't stop Blizzard.

Thanks for the feedback!
