Potential Skin

While Gorefiend's default skin would be based on his appearances in The Burning Crusade, perhaps an alternate skin could be based off his Warcraft 2 appearance, with a yellow cloak and hood, as well as a plain wooden truncheon for a weapon.

So... his trait rewards him for being at low health, but the only way he has to shield himself is one of his ultimates? I don't like that very much.

Replaced Incinerate with Mortal Coil, and updated its associated talents. Largely cosmetic changes.
Changed Remorseless Tendrils, and replaced Burning Clutch with Touch of Darkness.

More death-y and dark all around.

Well you know, mortal coil is kind of death coil used by death knights created by Gul'dan.
He used this ability in W2 and I think it suits him much better then incinerate.

I added little bits to better describe how Gorefiend's Grasp and Doom Blossom work. Also updated Death Pact as well as Death Strike's level 20 talent.

I thought Incinerate would be neat as a little note to Gorefiend's time as a Warlock, while also being an ability that he actually used. Mortal Coil is still a warlock spell, but would come off as weird because it wouldn't function anything like the actual spell.

As for some way of fighting while mounted, I don't know if there's a way I could balance it properly while keeping it actually useful.

Thanks for the feedback, though. I really do appreciate it, man.

Well done, nice concept. I was looking for some interesting Teron Gofefiend concept. I have several things to add.

1) Some things are not clear: a) How does GOREFIEND'S GRASP (W) exactly works? Is that AoE, target or cone spell or what?
b) Same for DOOM BLOSSOM (E). Does it deal AoE damage to everyone nearby or it attacks just 1 target?

2) I know he had Incinerate in Black Temple, however I would rather like to see Mortal coil. It seems to me more Death knight-like ability.

3) Death pact at level 7 imho should be targeted on friendly minion.

4) Level 20 improve to Death Strike is lackluster. 8 seconds is plently during team fight and you probably wont use that on minion wave to prepare your shield beforehand.

5) Death knights fight mounted. How about level 20 talent which would leave him mounted even in combat, reducing mounted speed to only 20%, rewinding automatically back after 4 seconds out of combat?
