Leyara Staghelm, daughter in law of Fandral Staghelm, is a highly skilled feral druid who fought bravely against the Horde while defending Ashenvale during the Cataclysm.
Disillusioned by Malfurion's passive stance towards the horde, she grows restless, seeking out her own path towards vengeance...
(Hero notes: Leyara is intended to be a high mobility Assassin shapeshifter, her core gameplay design is around picking the right form to be in at the right time. Her default mode is Night Elf form with a melee staff attack - "shifts" are temporary transforms lasting for only 5 seconds, and shifting to a form locks her into that form for at least 3 seconds, so this creates opportunities for counter-play on both ends - you can use Bear and Cat defensively, for the absorb shield or stealth, and you don't want to be "caught" in Cat form when being focused, or caught in Bear form when you need to be doing damage. Raven form offers her the unique ability to cross impassable terrain at will at the cost of taking severe damage if caught)
[Alternate Skin]
Leyara Staghelm, Druid of the Flame
Now serving Ragnaros, Leyara has discovered nature, fire and rebirth are but different sides of the same coin. (Fiery Druid skin that leaves behind burning footprints, Lacerate and Shred have a burning effect on the target, flight form becomes a burning Phoenix)
Combat Trait
1
Mark of the Wild
Shapeshifting frees Leyara from all movement impairing effects. When you shapeshift, you lock out other shapeshifting spells for 3 seconds.
Mark of the Wild passively reduces the duration of all impairing effects and damage over time effects on her by 25%.
Primary Abilities
1
Shapeshift: Bear Form
Shape-shift into Bear form for 5 seconds. The next attack to strike you does 75% less damage. While in bear form, you take 25% less damage and you gain a cleaving attack that applies Lacerate. Lacerate is a stacking bleed and attack-speed slow.
10 second cooldown
2
Shapeshift: Cat Form
Shape-shift into Cat form for 5 seconds. You immediately enter stealth, and your next attack while stealthed does 400% damage. While in cat form, you deal 25% more damage and have 25% increased movespeed, and your attacks apply Shred. Shred is a stacking bleed and move-speed slow.
10 second cooldown
3
Ferocious Bite
Only usable in Cat or Bear forms. Strike a powerful blow at an enemy, dealing scaling damage based on how many stacks of Lacerate and Shred are on the target.
10 second cooldown
