Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Millhouse Manastorm

Combat Trait

THE MIGHT OF MANASTORM

When Millhouse hits an enemy hero with an ability, he permanently gains 1 stack. Kills grant 10 stacks, and Assists grant 5 stacks. There is no limit on the number of stacks you can have. This ability can be activated to increase Spell Power by 0.5% per stack for 5 + 0.1 per stack seconds. 10 + 0.2 per stack second cooldown. The active does not consume stacks.

Primary Abilities

Arcane Blast

Millhouse blasts the target with arcane energy, dealing 140 + (4%) damage to the target and 50% damage to enemies .75 range around them. If another Arcane Blast is used within 5 seconds of the first, it consumes 20 more mana to deal 50% more damage, stacking up to 5 times. 4 range, 50 mana, 2.5 second cooldown.

Arcane Aegis/Arcane Absorption

When cast on an allied hero, this ability becomes Arcane Aegis, shielding them for 200 + (4%) for 5 seconds. Every time the shield takes damage, Millhouse regains 5% of his maximum mana. When cast on an enemy hero, this ability becomes Arcane Absorption, dealing 200 + (4%) damage. For 5 seconds, whenever that enemy deals damage, Millhouse regains 2.5% of his maximum mana. 4 range, 70 mana, 12 second cooldown.

Arcane Explosion

After 1 second the target area (1 range circle) explodes, dealing 300 + (4%) damage to enemies in the center (.5 range) and 75% damage to all other enemies inside. 4 range, 90 mana, 8 second cooldown.

Heroic Abilities

Magic Barrage

After 1 second, Millhouse fires 9 missiles at the targeted location, a circle with 1.5 range. Each missile deals 150 + (4%) damage and has a special effect. Arcane Missiles drain 10% of the target's maximum mana to deal damage equal to that amount. Fire Missiles deal 10% of the target's maximum health as damage over 3 seconds, stacking with multiple hits. Frost Missiles slow the movement and attack speed of enemies hit by 40% for 3 seconds. The different types of missiles will cycle, Arcane first, then Fire, then Frost, then Arcane, etc. Each missile lands .25 seconds after the last one. 5 range, 120 second cooldown, 100 mana. If an enemy has no mana and is hit by an Arcane Missile, they will instead instantly take 5% of their maximum health as bonus damage

Arcane Annihilation

After channeling for 3 seconds, Millhouse deals 600 + (4%) + 25% of their missing health damage to all enemy heroes, regardless of range or vision. He is revealed to enemies during this channel. 90 second cooldown, 150 mana.

Arcane Power

Millhouse's basic attacks deal an additional 40 + (4%) spell damage and deal damage to all enemies they pass through while traveling to the target. After casting a basic ability, Millhouse's Attack Speed is increased by 50% for 2 seconds. This bonus can stack up to 5 times. Basic attacks on enemy heroes can now stack The Might of Manastorm.

If I had to say, I think Millhouse would be better with a normal mount instead of a short range teleport. If he can't mount, that would make him very inferior.

I gave him a movement speed boost after casting spells to compensate for the lack of a regular mount. However, he is supposed to be relatively slow compared to other heroes. After all, they can’t chase him if they’re dead, right?
