Notes

It is still a WIP character.

The idea is to have a kind of unfinished character till the lvl10. With the heroic ability the player would chose what kind of character he'll play depending to the situation for the rest of the game.

I think the choice of the heroic ability would permanently transform Leah, so the lack of an active Heroic Ability should be compensated somewhere. Or have an ability on the R key, hmm..

All ideas and comments are welcome =D

Thanks for adding that talents.

[-]

Thanks for the ideas, sorry for the late answer ^^"

->Female diablo is a nice idea ! but maybe it'd need something else than the basic stats up
-> horadric Knowledge -> I LOVE IT !

I was thinking of Leah and Horadrim abilities having a color swap like the icons.

I have suggestion for Lvl 20 talents.

Prime Evil: Leah can transform to "Female Diablo". "Female Diablo" have upgrade in HEALTH REGEN, ATK SPEED and DAMAGE. Last x sec.

Horadric Knowledge: Leah can make soulstone for ally hero. When ally dies he resurrects after 5 sec(like diablo). Long cooldown.

P.S. Leah/Horadrim Leah abilities will have other animations?

Hi there,

I find the idea very interesting, numbers seem fair at first glance and abilities offer a large range of possibilities.
IMO, HotS needs this kind of heroe with refreshing gameplay as the current ones are not very original (Murky & Abathur exepted ! :P)

[-]

I don't know why but the page layout I'm doing won't stay still and keep being moved or reduced upon publication >.<
