The Warbringer does not have a basic attack and moves pretty slowly. However, he packs a powerful punch with his fire scarab ability, and can use a shuttle to move around more quickly.
In addition to mana, all of The Warbringer's basic abilities use a scarab. these scarabs are created naturally over time, and with abilities with the proper talents. This provides The Warbringer with a sit back and fire/guerilla tactics play style, which can be altered with the right talents.

Possible builds
- Mines: Focus on mines and help push multiple lanes
- hit and run build: focusing on knockback and escape talents as well as damage talents where possible. talent that scales damage with current health would work well here.
- sustained: take talents that increase scarab production to allow you to stay in the fight longer
-Variation on the hit and run build: The Combat Shuttle talent at level 20 is the pay-off, making The Warbringer much more mobile.
150 mana isn't too much for an ability? All heroes have 500(+10*lvl) energy
It was an attempt to limit the ability so he couldn't spam mines everywhere. I could add a timed element or a max number of mines planted, but I like how having a mana cost interacts with A. wether you want to keep detonation on hand, and B. if you want to hearth to focus more on mines.
note the first ability doesn't use mana, and the only other use for mana is the detonation and ultimates.
Obviously, if I had the ability to, this number would be playtested to hell and back, but I wanted mana to be the limiting factor here.
