Lady Liadrin

By:
Last Updated:

Former Priestess of the Light turned vengeful weapon of righteousness, Lady Liadrin leads the Blood Knights - the Light-weilding backbone of Silvermoon military, driven to protect what remains of her people. Liadrin, though called zealous, arrogant, and short-tempered by some, has always led her order with strength and conviction, and joins the Nexus to eradicate any trace of the Burning Legion to prevent these foul demons from delivering fates unto any more poor souls.

Liadrin is a magic-damage focused Warrior / Assassin hybrid who thrives on charging headfirst into the enemy team and causing chaos among their ranks. The build-up and use of holy power is designed to give Liadrin windows of power that must be prepared during the throes of battle, either running rampant through the enemy line, granting added sustain to her team or simply adding to AoE damage. Paladins from WoW are adaptable, able to fulfil any role - healer, tank, or DPS - and to reflect this, Liadrin's talents vary wildly per row, and allow her to cover a large number of weaknesses in her team comp's role, though she'll become weaker in regards to others. This variance is expanded upon with her Heroic choices; while Avenging Wrath makes Liadrin into a DPS threat during teamfights or duelling, Execution Sentence can be used to either split-up the enemy front line to avoid healing their foes and damaging their allies, or attempt to isolate and execute a high-priority target.

Awesome concept, just a few ideas about it though,

Is the trait a targetable ability? or does it empower your next basic attack? If the latter, the wording needs to change to "Activate to make your next basic attack ..."

Agreed with the other comment, consecration damage is quite high, especially with the build in slow. Perhaps reduce the damage and compensate it by increasing the duration?

Liadrin should have a toggable ability on her action bar (Key 1) so that she can click it and then her next ability is empowered. Makes the choice of using abilities while you have Holy power but not wanting to use it on a certain ability easier.

Holy power only being stored for 6 seconds is a bit harsh, perhaps the power begins to decay after 6 second? (decay 1 power after 6 second, additional power every 3 seconds after?)

Avenging Wrath is too weak. Either the numbers or the duration needs to be increased.

Just a little tidbit, but the wording on spells that reduces damage taken needs to be armor, e.g on Divine Shield, "Activate to gain 90 Armor for 4 second, but reduce your damage dealt by 50% while active." Also, armor cannot surpass 75.

Overall, really like this concept, and i like the idea of specializing how you want to help the team through talents.

I think "Divine Steed" grants a little too much of a MS bonus, especially when it's buffed, cause 4 seconds of 200% MS unstoppable is like: "Ya'll never catch me!". Maybe reduce it to 50%-70% and move unstoppable bonus to some tier 3-4 talent and instead give some armor for the duration.

Also, I believe that consecration damages too much for a 10 seconds cooldown, though its AoE might be small enough for it not to be OP.

As for the rest of the concept: I really like it and may the Holy Light guide you :D

What about connecting her D with basic attacks? I don't like idea of spamming D.
