...So good. The concept in itself is very balanced, I like the theme, I liked the character in WotLK, I like the design and the abilities you gave him. His passive seems a little weak, maybe an another little side effect to it?
Other than that, his second ult's upgrade seems quite op -- it can get rid of azmo's only escape, does it take effect on ultimates too? If so, it can easily ruin a team depending on their malf's tranq, and could be game breaking ( as 1 lost team fight can mean the end )
Complete trash. Like, this concept is literal garbage. Try again, pleb.
XD I'm kidding. I really like it. Flavor-wise, his abilities fit very nicely with the cold/bone theme, so many points there. I especially like that Blood Syphon helps with his below average health regen in the early levels.
All in all, very nice build. I would love to see this as a thing. Great job, and I'm jealous I can't build like this... XD
@jeremiah thanks for the suggestion! I went ahead and changed it to just under 2.5 second. now that I'm looking back on it, 5 seconds was REALLY long and could easily cause the entire other team to wipe.
I like Coldsnap, but I think the root duration is too long. This would make me rage so hard and break my computer screen. Arthas has a root for 1.5 seconds, and Thrall has a root of 1 second. I usually play mages and even that 1-1.5 seconds is crucial and could mean imminent death.
Because it is an ultimate, maybe change it to 2.5 - 3 seconds? Even that amount of time is very long. 2.5 seconds is long enough to make every ranged class fear you, and shiver when they see your face on the battlefield.
My main point of worry would be that Bone Splinter does more damage than Nova's Snipe and I imagine it having similar functionality (line target). More base, 1 more point scaling, and can store two charges and have damage increases through talent optimization.
My main complain would be that the second Heroic sounds really bad, as not only do you have to get A LOT of stacks for it to matter, but you have to do it each time for it to matter and it puts you back into a bad situation with 40% health, giving the opponent a chance at more EXP.
Good idea, and well designed. I recommend giving him a regular mount and making his Death Tracker part of his passive. Overall, exceptional work.

thanks for pointing that out, I mustve missed it when I was redoing it!
imma replace that now
Frozen Blade can now stack up to 4 times per hero hit. [trait↑]
why take the second one over first one?

Overall, looks pretty cool though. :)
