Overall, i like the concept, but these are just some thoughts that i have about it
- Health is too low
- Trait is very, very bad. 1.5% damage per demon is hardly any damage
- This correlates with my previous point, but the entire baseline kit (Level 1) is all damage abilities. (No displacement / escape / healing, ect). I think it would be better to switch your trait with the level 13 talent 'Demonic Skin'. The trait could be "Your Armor is increased by 2 / 3% for every Demon you have summoned." Or perhaps a different version of Demonic Skin that is activate able.
- Hand of Doom damage is a bit low, and the Wild Imp's damage is a bit high, considering you summon 3 of them. Perhaps increase the impact damage and reduce the imp damage?
- I'm a bit unsure how the Dread stalkers work. Are they summons that last for 6 seconds and deal 120 damage per attack? Or do you launch them from your hero, and they bite a hero, disappear, and leave a DoT effect on them?
- Same Question for Bilescourge. Is it a summon that stays on the battlefield that is attack able? Or is it simply a spell?
- Personally, i don't like either of the ultimants, simply because the infernal just seems far better (2.5 second AoE stun on a 60 second cooldown). I think you could include some different spells from WoW to make more unique ultimants (e.g Demonic Tyrant, Nether Portal)
- Mana costs are a bit high for such short cool downs too.
- Confused about how the Level 16 summons work. For example, when you summon the felhunter, do you target an enemy hero, then the felhunter spawns and silences / attacks the target? Or does it spawn at your hero and silence random heroes at certain intervals while it is alive?
Furthermore, while i see that the Level 1 / 4 / 7 talents are enhancing each of the basic abilities one at a time it can also be a problem, as one talent can be considered better than others. I'll just list my opinions on each of the talents quickly ...
Level 1 - Each of them seems pretty good, at first i thought maybe Piercing Bolts wouldn't be useful but it could work on say Braxis Hold or against lane pushes. Although, i am curious how the Imps attack targeting works since that could actually effect the use of the talent?
Level 4 - Dreadlash doesn't seem as good as the other talents.
Level 7 - Bombing Run doesn't seem as good as the other talents.
Level 13 - Change Demonic calling to only affect Basic Abilities, and maybe reduce the amount to 0.5, since you could get an overload of pets that might seem a bit extreme (Not too sure about that though). Change Demonic Strength to affect only non - Heroic demon minions. New talent to replace Demonic Skin if you make that the trait.
Overall, i think the concept is pretty good, but i am unsure of what era of Demonology Warlock you are trying to emulate from WoW. I can see the main basic abilities are from BfA, although the ultimants are more 'traditional' warlock spells. Demon bolt i can see too, although it is vastly different from WoW. Perhaps you could change Bilescourge into Demonbolt as a spell that gains charges when Wild Imps die? Could be interesting.
Exciting to see more from this concept, and again, great work !
FYI this is my first ever HotS concept. Please consider this when commenting. :)
