Deathwing

The Destroyer

"Pain... Agony.... My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage... But at last... The whole of Azeroth will break... ...And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings..."

Deathwing is a powerful damage dealing melee mage assassin with a high focus on global presence. With careful aim and timing, Deathwing is capable of dealing immense amounts of damage to enemy teams. I placed a large focus on delay based abilities with high power and creating a manageable and terrifying global presence by introducing the first global ability that deals damage.

Strengths:
    Strong burst damage capability with Elementium Bolt and Elementium Armor.

    Moderate mobility and defenses allow him to remain in fights for longer periods of time.

    Strong against high health and shield based teams.

    Immense damage when Rage is high.

Weaknesses:
    No reliable escape ability, making him vulnerable to crowd control.

    Weak against teams that stack spell armor.

    Countered by heroes with talents or abilities similar to Ice Block.

    Delays on his abilities increase skill cap.

    Deals less damage without the Madness of Deathwing bonus.

Statistics: (level 20)

Health: 3600
Attack Damage: 150 (210 with Unending Hatred bonus).

Combat Trait

1
Madness of Deathwing
Deathwing is fueled by rage instead of mana. As Deathwing deals damage he becomes enraged, slowly increasing his damage output up to 20% and charging Cataclysmic Dragonflight. Rage decays at a rate of 10 rage per second if Deathwing has not dealt damage in 3 seconds. (100 max rage). Once Deathwing's enrage meter fills completely it will remain full for 5 seconds before returning to 0; during this time Dragonflight becomes Cataclysmic Dragonflight.

Basic attacks generate 5 rage.

Primary Abilities

1
Elementium Bolt
8 second cooldown: After a 1.5 second delay, Deathwing launches an Elementium Bolt at target location up to 4 range away dealing 150(300) damage in an area; enemies hit within the center of Elementium Bolt are dealt and additional 60(120) damage and are rooted for 1.5 seconds.

This ability can be cast while moving.

Generates 20 rage.
2
Elementium Armor
15 second cooldown. Activate to gain a 250(500) point shield. When the shield breaks or expires it releases Elementium Fragments at nearby enemy heroes dealing 180(360) damage and generating 20 rage. Cooldown begins after Elementium Armor expires.

Passive: Corrupting Parasites: While Elementium Armor is recharging, Deathwing releases Corrupting Parasites that slowly seek out nearby enemies (prioritizing heroes) withing 2 range dealing 30(60) damage each. Corrupted Parasites spawn every 2 seconds. Corrupting Parasites have 650 health.

Heroic Abilities

Destroy All Life
100 second cooldown: Deathwing takes a deep breath and after a 3 second delay launches a wave of fire in front of him that deals 200(400) initial damage and an additional 90(180) damage over 3 seconds. Destroy All Life deals 50% additional damage to non-heroic targets.
