"Jastor Gallywix is the much-maligned Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel, one of the most powerful goblin trade guilds on Kezan. Despite betraying his own people in a petty act of vengeance, he retains his position as Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel in its service to the Horde."
"Yo, I'm Gallywix. Ranged Support. I'm great at all things, but what I'm MOST great at is taking everything I can from the enemy - - and if an ally gains a little something in the process that's great too. My abilities are highly mana intensive, 'deluxe' you could call 'em, so I'm always looking for the next score. My mana pool, well... that's pretty deluxe too. Biggest one in the game. My health pool - - don't you worry about my health pool. None of your business, buddy.
But perhaps you could help me out. A partnership. Temporarily. At least while our interests align. Trust me; even my words are gold-plated. A goblin with gold-plated words; now that's trustworthy!" -Gallywix
Combat Trait
1
Best Deals Anywhere!
Reduces the mana cost of nearby friendly heroes' abilities by 15%. One third of the mana saved this way is immediately siphoned to Gallywix's mana pool.
"So 10. You save 10% of your mana. You're welcome." - Gallywix
Primary Abilities
1
Q - Life Savings
Channel a healing beam of electricity on a friendly unit. The healing increases by 10% every second, but so does the mana cost. Can move while channeling.
4 second cooldown (begins after you stop channeling).
"You're gonna pay me back, right?" - Gallywix
2
W - Taxation
Slow a target enemy hero by 10%, and an additional 1% for each % of mana you have available, decaying quickly over 2 seconds. While slowed their abilities cost 10% more mana.
"Make sure you declare all your dependants. Wouldn't want me to have to audit ya." -Gallywix
3
E - Hostile Takeover
(Skillshot) Launch a mind control device at an enemy hero, forcing them to move towards Gallywix and dealing damage over time for 2 seconds. Enemies can still attack and use abilities while mind controlled. Range is increased by 1% per % of available mana.
"You work for me now. No benefits." - Gallywix
Heroic Abilities
1
Brand Recognition
Places a 'kill order' on all enemy heroes in the target area that persists for 10 seconds. Enemies are assigned a number, 1 through 5, with that number corresponding to the damage bonus your team will deal to that target (10%, 20%, 30%, etc.). The damage bonus for the next number only unlocks if the target before it in line is killed (i.e. the 20% damage bonus doesn't apply to that target until you kill the 10% target, etc.).
Brand Recognition prefers assigning Supports lower numbers, followed by Assassins, Specialist, and finally Warriors. 2 minute cooldown.
"Kaja'Cola: for when you needa quench a Trade-Prince sized thirst! Ok, where's my check?" - Gallywix
2
Monopoly
Receive mana equal to 20% of all mana spent near you by enemies and allies for 5 seconds. 2 charges, 60 second recharge. Can be activated while channeling Life Savings.
"Ho-hoh-hohoooh-yea. That's what I'm talkin' about!" -Gallywix
Special Mount
1
(Z) Goblin Mechano-Spider
Gallywix rides around on his Mechano-Spider, which functions the same way as Azmodan's mount.
"Because walking is for suckers. And Gallywix ain't no sucker." - Gallywix

"That's right: gold plated talents too. Bought the consonants in bulk and got a great deal on the vowels. I've got a vowel guy. Anyway that's me, Jastor Gallywix. All my skins are legendary and I'm never on sale. Again, you're welcome." -Gallywix
"Reduces the mana cost of nearby friendly heroes' abilities by 15%. One third of the mana saved this way is immediately siphoned to Gallywix's mana pool."
That's a pretty weird way of phrasing that. "Oh you saved 15%- just kidding you only save 10%". As much as it's totally in character for Gallywix to be unclear on the numbers, how about phrasing it like:
"Reduces the mana cost of nearby friendly heroes' abilities by 10%. Gallywix gains mana equal to half of the mana saved this way."
Awesome. I love how business theme is converted to healing and mana regen. Plus Gallywix, well... he's just awesome guy.
All my votes for that concept.
What don't you like about Hostile Takeover? I feel like it'd be a perfect combo with Taxation. You essentially force an enemy hero to walk towards you, and once they're out of position you slow them.
I love the main idea ! :)
Original and yet efficient in some comps. I'm just a bit dissapointed by "Hostile Takeover", I feel like it's not relevant with the whole idea
But it's a super interesting character
I, too, did a Goblin concept, about Dr Boom, don't hesitate to check it and give me some feedback :)
Thanks! And yea I didn't even consider the fact that some heroes don't use mana; completely slipped my mind. He'd definitely lose some effectiveness on the wrong team. But I'm sure as the hero pool grows we're going to see a lot more specialized and diverse heroes, so he's not necessarily out of place.
This is brilliant. He would be somewhat hindered if blizz adds more heroes with resources besides mana, but wow I like the concept a lot.
