Tassadar

The High Templar

"High Templar are protoss warriors that use powerful psionic powers to support other protoss forces."
Despite being support units in Starcraft, in Heroes of the Storm they didn´t fit into the heal support role. I would say High Templar are more specialists similar to Medivh or Xul with cc, mind games, and high damage.

Tassadars playstyle is twofold. His kit allow him mage like solo laner qualities (poke, good waveclear, escape only with allied heroes near him) and from the game beginning Tassadar try to build up enough energy, through Mana consumption, for his more bruiser like teamfighting form, the Archon.

In case of questions after reading some Abilities or Talents look at the Clarification section below for some examples and mock up pictures for easier understanding.

Keep in mind that some cooldowns, damage percentage and other basic things can be way off and overpowered because theres nearly no opportunity for me to test it under game condition.

Clarification & Pictures

Trait & Ultimate
Think of it as a reversed Muradin trait, who restore health after 4s without taking damage when below 40% health. Tassadar always restores his shield without taking damage for 6s. As example you barely escaped a enemy gank at level 1 with 102 health left, after some while without damage or healing involvement you get to 802 Shield + 102 Health = 904 Hitpoints. Keep in mind Tassadar don

Main inspiration for this High Templar kit i got from the great Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void trailer and of course the SC1 and SC2 High Templar units also some reddit threads helped me to realize the wishes for Tassadar.

Feedback is a High Templar ability from Starcraft 2 which drains all energy(=mana) from a target unit, dealing damage equal to the energy drained. In Hots this would be very frustrating to play against and Blizzard stated that they don
