Oops I didn't realize i hit publish, excuse me for that must of been tired from work heh. I'm currently working on the talents (would've published after that xD) and also thanks for the comment and feedback it helps me out, i agree a name would be nice to perhaps the original name of the handmaiden which i am currently trying to find (if it even exists), if it doesn't i shall have to create a lore friendly name but for now she shall remain the Wretched Queen.

I was still working on the talents, I've added talents now which may change or even get replaced in the future. After looking over it i have to agree with you there, i made this late at night so i may have slipped here and there. Her damage in the Crane stance has been buffed to account for this, her serpent stance is her healing stance so damage isn't really a part of that and comes from her melee stance so to speak. I do think heroes should have some cc, I've decided to...

I've been working on a second concept for the trait, i have updated this hero concept with a 2nd trait with different rules but the same power so to speak. The second revolves around the idea of Battle Momentum as you suggested going off the idea of the cooldown reduction/ability power being 'triggered' by auto attacks which will be on a 5 second timer which i may lower. I personally like both these traits but i do tend to favor the second. I also upped the ability bonus to 25% up...

I worded the trait incorrectly i will work on a better explanation. Simply put the effect is not permanent and is tied entirely to the stack amount changing as she gains/loses essence through kills, ability use and death, so if she loses it all she has no bonus to her abilities at all. I increased the death penalty to 40% from 25% to make it more punishing when she dies. I didn't feel that 25% was enough of an impact. So for example; say she has farmed for a while and has 200 essence...

Always like this guy floating around the Hyperion. Love the concept ideas put into this hero, he' be a very unique and fun character to play. Love the abilities as it promotes a skill cap and very unique play style. Would love to see this guy in heroes! Just imagine all those crazy skins you could throw at him like a mad scientist or even a wow plague scientist hehe.

Oi Blizzard, you have a concept right here! Nice work, who doesn't love Mathael? I agree with your standing on the melee assassins needed a little hand in staying in a fight longer enough to do some damage and Mathael looks to be a high skill cap with a fun aspect, id definitely give him ago if he landed in Heroes *nudge nudge blizzard*. Nice job! :D

Thanks and i am working on some ideas for her talents at the moment i don't like posting small bits but rather large chunks and will once i have a good amount of talents (after a lot of tweaking) :D I changed the trait after doing some math, at 200 essence she would've had 10 second reduction and a 20% ability bonus which is to powerful heh. So I've added a cap to the bonus but the essence will still continue to stack, i also added a death penalty to punish the player for dying by losing...

Changed trait to suit her role better, also adding a few talents which will be tweaked constantly. Slightly tweaked her abilities as well. Thankyou jrg7777 for the feedback after thinking it through that trait would be better off on a support or specialist role.

I like the look of this concept, good utility and very well thought out. Very good job on Maraad, i really hope Blizzard adopts some of these concepts and yours better be at the front of the line. Now we just need Yrel by his side and we can't go wrong!

I appreciate the comments and feedback and after re-looking at it with a fresh mind i myself have condemned it to be boring and flat out undeserving of being called a hero. Recent overhaul to make her more Valeera and less rogue like. Still WIP, im unsure what i was thinking when moving towards the burst type stealth, im now attempting to steer her in a different direction.
