Greetings! I was bored, decided it was a good idea to mess around with ideas for Non-Blizzard characters again. Today I present Lord Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith and Palpatine's right-hand man(Despite having lost said hand). He is being presented as a Melee Warrior that excels in manipulating his opponents with the Force.
Rough Level 1 Stats Health - ~2500 Basic Attack Damage - ~100 Attack Speed - ~0.8 Force - ~100[Does not increase per level] Force Regeneration - ~5/sec
Combat Trait
1
[D] - The Force
Passive
Vader utilizes a resource called 'The Force', which regenerates at a semi-rapid rate and fuels his abilities. Using an ability with a Force cost will passively slow enemies hit by ~20% for ~2 seconds, applied after any other Crowd Control wears off.
Primary Abilities
1
[Q] - Saber Throw
Active; Screw Moving
Vader throws his Saber in the target direction, which will deal ~120 damage to enemies it passes through. After the saber finishes twirling around the air in the thrown direction, it will quickly return to his hand, powering off during the return period(Doesn't deal damage). Costs ~20 Force and has a ~3 second cooldown.
2
[W] - Force Choke
Active; Forcibly Suffocate from a Safe Distance
Vader utilizes the force to forcibly grab target enemy's throat, lifting them in the air and dragging them towards him. This ability deals ~90 damage per second over the two seconds the enemy is dragged towards Vader, during which time they cannot move their own character. The hero being choked moves towards Vader at ~40% movement speed, and if they reach Vader, he grabs their throat, crushing it and dealing an additional ~200 damage, stunning the target for ~1 second. Costs ~30 Force and has a ~16 second cooldown.
3
[E] - Heavy Strike
Active; When The Force just doesn't cut it
Vader quickly and brutally slashes at target enemy, dealing ~300 damage and slowing them by ~40% for ~2 seconds. Costs no Force and has a ~14 second cooldown.
Secondary Abilities
1
[1] - Force Repluse
Active; Omnidirectional Mighty Gust
Unleash a wave of the Force in every direction, knocking all nearby enemies back, dealing ~200 damage. If they collide with terrain, they are stunned for ~1.5 seconds. Has a ~12 second cooldown.
Heroic Abilities
1
[R] - Force Destruction
Active; Caution to the Wind
Vader quickly gathers a field of Force Energy in the form of a sphere of Red Lightning around himself, before unleashing it in target direction. Any enemy it passes through takes ~200 damage per second, and every second, the effects of Vader's Trait are applied, untalented but stacking, to enemies caught, stacking up to an ~80% slow after 4 seconds. The ability travels for ~8 seconds, after which it dissipates. Requires a ~2 second channel. Costs ~80 Force to use and has a ~100 second cooldown.
2
[R] - The Power of the Dark Side
Active; Yet Another Self-Buff Heroic
Vader gathers the Force, using it to enhance his already fearsome abilities. For ~10 seconds after using this ability, Darth Vader deals ~25% more damage,takes ~25% less damage, his cooldowns refresh twice as fast, and his basic attacks apply a talented version of his trait. Costs ~50 Force and has a ~100 second cooldown(Starting after the ability wears off.)
Talents
Level 20|Tier 7 Force Eradication - Force Destruction now deals ~20% increased damage for every stack of the slow, and the slow now stacks 5 times. Untouchable - The Power of the Dark Side causes Vader's cooldowns to now refresh three times as fast, causes him to take ~40% reduced damage, and lasts for ~15 seconds. Force Repulse - See 'Secondary Abilities'.
Skin Suggestions
Anakin Skywalker
Vader before his fall(And non-terrible acting). Preferably in the Clone Wars(Animated Series) style.
