The idea of Fire Chains was not that Bashiok would need to be in melee range in order to get the best benefit out of the Heroic. The idea was that if there's a team fight and you're in the back like a healer should and you start to auto-attack an enemy hero from afar and your Fallen Grunts attack the same target surrounding the enemy that's when you could cast Fire Chains to the grunts while they're next to the enemy heroes. The enemy hero closest to the grunts with Fire Chains would be...

I have updated the Hero Concept with Bashiok's Talents! I will most likely do some changes in the near future but I would like to hear your people's opinion of them and of course of the Hero Concept itself in general.

How about no? Plus I don't think Konami would be so generous to allow Blizzard to use any of the characters of their IPs even if Blizzard asked.

... Where's the Mirror Image spell?! I can't find it!!1 Like, one of the mages' most iconic Arcane spells ever! Also I would make the Mana Shield drain all the incoming damage with the cost of mana instead of just 75% if the damage.

"This hero is NOT from any game of Blizzard, it's just a crossover from The Strain." How about no?

Thank you for your comment, Vynadrian! I would just like to make one thing clear; you don't control any of the Fallen Grunts individually like you control all of the three Lost Vikings individually. They just follow, defend you and attacks the same targets you do. So you can't separate them from Bashiok like you can separate the vikings. I am planning to give Bashiok talents that buffs his Fallen Grunts in some way but I don't think I'll be giving them any individual abilities. At least...

Want me to be brutally honest? This Hero Concept is boring as f*ck. Two of our Assassin heroes (Nova and Zeratul) already got Stealth trait so I would rather see something different like say a trait that does something with different types of poisons. Or make the Energy resource as her only trait just like the Fury resource is Sonya's trait. Now she basically got two traits. Pretty much all of the Basic Abilities here are just lazy copy-pastes from the Rogue class' spell book and the...

The ability talents look alright. However, there are some talents that I don't think are quite suitable for an Assassin hero. MULE is a talent that is more fit for Supports and Specialists. Promote is also a talent more suitable for Specialists who are good at pushing lanes. Relentless is simply pointless I think because I don't even think that this game recognizes if a hero is in combat or not like WoW does. And even if it does the heroes will be in combat like 90% of the time so that is so...

Not a bad WoW rogue Hero Concept so you surprised me positively (you have no idea how many bad and simply boring rogue hero concepts I have seen so far, some of them being Vanessas). I'm glad you didn't give her Stealth as her Trait since we already got two stealthing heroes in the game but decided to go with different poison types just like I did in my own concept. But I think that the way you make the hero switch poisons is more interesting than my simpler way. I like the poisons themselves...

How about no?
