Looks pretty good, a character that would be fun to play. I agree, though, that the Trait is the weak link here. A anged attacker that lacks range isn't very effective, as we saw with Tychus, as it eliminates a lot of the advantages you're hoping to gain by picking a character like that in the first place. It gets down to the concept of fantasy. When you're playing this character, what is it that you want to be? And how does the trait establish that? What about something like...

Welcome then. And I don't mind at all. I don't agree with your suggestions, but it's helpful to have to explain my ideas because it helps to clarify them.

Thanks for your input. My initial thought was much like yours and in my first drafts, each head has its own passive and entirely separate skills and changing between them was really switching between two different characters. But I've already done that with other characters like Egon and the Viking pilot so I wanted to go another way. And, more importantly, I was concerned about what happens when a character gets to use too many skills in a short time frame. Skills are important,...

I don't see how that would make it any less complicated. There are three skill bars and you switch between the active one and the other two with the D and Z keys (by default). Adding buttons on top of those skill bars doesn't change that. Besides, that row of numerical keys is going to be crowded as this Egon is a prime candidate (as I tried to explain in the talent section) for a slew of active skills. Cleanse, Clairvoyance, maybe not Protective Shielding since he already has a better...

Glad I could help. That trait looks very nice. Now, Mekkatorque is acting like a Promote on the devices he places. Making them stronger while he's around without requiring him to be there. Cool idea. As for the previous trait, I can see what you were getting at. And it's hard to tell how it would balance without seeing it in action. But, as I said, anything that increases XP gain makes me cautious. You only have to look at what an advantage it can be to have the Vikings or...

-That's because there isn't. I just rewrote what you had because it was something I was tossing off the top of my head, maybe changed it around a bit so that there was a bit more self-defense built into the non-moving molten man. The changes were in streamlining the split between Executus and Ragnaros so there's less micro involved. And making the trait be that Ragnaros appears with only the smallest of ranges, barely better than melee, and has to grow that over time by using his...

Oh, I do like it. I think it's very well done and I hope you don't mind that I'm trying to push you to go that last little distance to make it really great. There's as much effort involved in going from 90% to 100% as there is in getting to 90% in the first place, after all. And what I want to focus on is how to make your character better at doing the job you envision for them. You're looking for an aggressive Warrior, someone closer to a Tyrael than a Johanna. As I said before, I...

Overall, it's an interesting concept and you've done a lot of nice work making it unique. I have my concerns about its viability, however. I don't like Technical Advantage, his trait which adds 10+7/level XP when he's powering a device. Experience is shared in HOTS so a character with accelerated XP gain is giving everyone on his team a level advantage. It's basically the same problem I had with Mechanostrider. I like to focus on concept rather than concrete numbers but to show how...

Yeah, that lv20 Mechanostriders is nuts. Not just for Falstad, Hammer would love it, too, as would the Vikings and a lot of other characters. I find, in general, that global buffs like that aren't good to include. Think about a character that let everyone on their team gather 10% more experience, either as a trait or as a passive talent they could pick up. They've undoubtedly given their team an advantage, made them level faster so they get stronger. But not because of anything...

I really like the idea of a ranged Warrior. It's tough to pull off because bodyblocking is one of those hidden things that helps tanks do their job and it's harder to pull off if you're not directing them into melee range. Still, it's got potential and your concept seems like a nice iteration of it. Worgen Form looks a lot better now. Unfortunately, better to the point where I wonder why anyone would ever take Liberation Front at all. After all, half the fun of this character would be...
