Saidan Dathrohan

Grand Crusader of the Scarlet Crusade

Saidan Dathrohan was one of the first five paladins of the Silver Hand. Under the guidance of Archbishop Alonsus Faol he studied the Light, becoming one of the strongest paladins ever to walk Azeroth. But during the assault on the Scourge-held city of Stratholme something changed. A dark presence visited him. Possessed him. It was only a matter of time before people would find out.

Saidan is melee, heavy armoured assassin that relies on heavy blows being dealt by his mighty sword. Only through time it is revealed how holy his cause really is.

Combat Trait

1
Dark Presence
Every time Saidan successfully melee strikes his oponent he gains a stack of Dark Presence (5 stacks for hitting a hero). Stacks up to 100. At 100 stacks Saidan transforms into Balnazzar. Stacks are not gained while transformed into Balnazzar for 13 seconds. Stacks of Dark Presence are lost upon dying.

Basic Stats

Base hp: 1704
Base attack damage: 120
Base attack speed: 1.0
Base mana: 740

Hp regeneration 3.4
Difficulty: Medium (?)- the only real difficulty of this hero comes from managing the stacks of Dark Presence and knowing when to save it for, which also is the main part of the hero's fanatsy (saving this "revalation" for the correct moment)

The numbers are placeholders and should be adjusted to balance the performance.

Skins, voice lines

Base skin would be inspired by his gear from Vanilla WoW dungeon, with some major texture updates.

Lvl 10 skin would be a more buly version of the basic one, specially his sword, his headgear and his cloak.

The corrupted skin would be his base armor, but obviously damaged, stained. His skin would be grey/greenish, his eyes would shine blue. Would feature new voicelines aswell.

Base voice lines:
Upon killing Uther: You were never truly devoted.
Upon killing Arthar: Unworthy filth.
Upon killing Anub'arak: Another abomination falls.
Upon killing Stitches: Another abomination falls.
Upon killing Gul'dan: Why did we ever need you?
Upon killing Sylvanas: *evil laugh*

Entering battle with Uther: In Light we are one, brother.
Entering battle with Sylvanas: You'll do. For now.
Entering battle with Arthas: Fight well, young one.
