Velen

Prophet of the Naaru

Velen is the leader of what is left of his race, the Draenei. As a powerful wielder and defender of the Light, he protects his people and allies from danger, and mends their wounds when they get hurt. Now in the Nexus, Velen will use his power with the Light to protect his allies, and banish his enemies.

Velen is a Primary healer that excels at keeping specific allies alive, as well as pulling them out of danger. His ability to heal a target will vary greatly depending on who his passive is on. His Heroic choices allow for a great deal of team wide damage mitigation or healing, as well as making it difficult for enemies to approach.

Theoretical Talent Tree

Level 1


Purge the Wicked
Quest!: Heal allies with Smite
Whenever you heal an Ally with Smite, increase Smite's damage by 2. (Infinitely Stacking)
After getting 100 Bonus damage on Smite, reduce its cooldown by 1 second and its mana cost by 10.

Enlightenment
Using Power Word: Serenity on an ally hero affected with Naaru's Blessing refunds 30 mana.
You would still need the full mana cost to cast it, you just get mana back after the heal goes off.

Heavy Burden
Smite slows targets hit by 10% for 2 seconds.

Level 4


Body and Soul
Leap of Faith increases targets movement speed by 20% for 4 seconds if you successfully cleansed a negative effect

Echo of Light
Holy Word: Serenity leaves an Echo of Light on the target for 3 Seconds. If the target affected by echo of light takes damage, it will consume the echo to heal them for 30% of Holy Word: Serenity's initial heal over 3 seconds.

Spirit Shell
Smite no longer heals allies with damage it does, instead, it creates a shield on them that lasts 8 seconds for 75% of the damage done.
This doesnt interfere with talents that require smite healing

Level 7



Faith in Allies
Leap of Faith can now also be activated (1-8 hotkeys) to cause Velen to jump to an ally, cleansing both himself and his ally of most harmful effects.
This ability shares a cooldown with Leap of Faith.
