Dreadlord

Lord of Dread

Dreadlord Aggressive Support concept

After the outcry following Stukov's release, I figured a series of irritating character/role designs was in order. This Dreadlord concept is built around the Vampiric Aura from WC3.

Combat Trait

1
Vampiric Aura
All heroes within a range of 6 around the Dreadlord will heal 5% of the damage they deal to enemy heroes.

Primary Abilities

1
Carrion Swarm
A swarm of bats travels in a widening arc in front of the Dreadlord and deals 150 damage (+4% per level). All minions and heroes struck by Carrion Swarm return 20% of the damage as healing to all allied heroes in range of Vampiric Aura. Cooldown 6 seconds
2
Sleep
Sleep can be cast on enemies OR allies. If cast on an enemy, the enemy sleeps for 1.5 seconds. If cast on an ally, that ally sleeps for 3 seconds and regens 2.5% health and 5% mana every second. Any damage breaks the sleep effect. Cooldown 14 seconds
3
Dark Fissure
Dreadlord channels for 1 second. Afterwards, a dark fissure opens up under the nearest enemy in range of Vampiric Aura (prefers heroes over minions). Dark fissure lasts for 3 seconds and deals 120 damage (+4% per level) per second. Cooldown 8 seconds

Heroic Abilities

1
Alone in the Darkness
Dreadlord steps through the darkness, teleporting a max range of 5 and clings to an enemy hero. The enemy's move speed is reduced by 80% for 3 seconds. Dreadlord bites the enemy and heals himself for 10% health every .5 seconds while also doing 5% damage to the enemy every .5 seconds. Any damage done by allies within Vampiric Aura during this time heals for an additional 5% of damage dealt.
2
Infernal
Passive

On selecting this ability, a meteor falls from the sky and strikes the allied core. A massive infernal replaces the core. Current health and shields on the core are maintained. Core damage is increased by 20%.

In addition, all of Dreadlord's abiltiies inflict Infernal Fire. Infernal Fire burns enemies for 25 damage per second for 3 seconds. ANY enemy unit--not just heroes--affected by Infernal Fire heals allied heroes in range of Vampiric Aura.

Level 1 Talents

Rune of the Nathrezim

Quest

Hit 40 heroes with Dark Fissure

Reward

Dark Fissure will now leave an invisible rune on the ground after it dissipates. Enemies that touch the rune will be slowed by 30% for 2 seconds. Runes don't disappear until they have been triggered.

Scourge of Bats

Quest

Heal 10,000 damage with Carrion Swarm.

Reward

Now when enemy heroes are hit by Carrion Swarm, bats swarm around that hero's head for 2 seconds afterwards. Allies that attack enemies with swarms over their heads will receive an additional 5% healing while in range Vampiric Aura.

Allied heroes who are afflicted with a stun, root, or silence affect while in range of Vampiric Aura have the duration reduced by 60%.
