To see or not to see, this is the question. Rakkel is a very unusual rogue, as his attack is ranged instead of melee. Furthermore, he doesn't rely on a criti effect or strong dodge rating to be effective. His strength lies in creating chaos by making enemies unable to attack and move as they want to, bringing the down to low HP with damage amplification and effective pure damage and finally finishing off running low HP enemies, without even having to move a lot. Mental Diversion allows him to reverse the movement of enemies, whereas Shadow Bind causes 2 enemies to loose any vision and be dealt damage and slowed. Both of these skills grant Rakkel vision of the affected enemies, which is essential for your Ult. Darksight is an insane and really risky skill to use, but it grants you huge advantages. While loosing your whole sight, except for the one granted from his other skills, Rakkel deals additional pure damage. Moreover, any attack against him reveals the enemy through the whole duration and even launches a dagger, which deals pure damage to the unit it hits. Finally, Touch of Darkness makes his normal attacks deal increased damage, reveals the enemy for a few seconds and most notably increases the attack range against the target up to a max range of 870 for a few seconds, allowing him to finish off fleeing enemies effectively.

Rakkel Blindeye is a famed rogue that fights his way through hundreds of valiant defenders and hides back in the dense forests of Lordaeron unscathed. However, his talent was crippled to a point of affecting Rakkel's sanity when his own spear caught his eye, and Rakkel was oblivious of its doer. Swearing revenge against his enemies, his fellow humans who he believes are the cause of his blindness, he offers a deal with Ner'zhul, who quickly seized this great asset by granting him Darksight, a dark vision that enables only sight of all living. Now, Rakkel's prowess with his long, sharp friends and his own surprising impunity is guilty of not only the blindness of his helpless targets, but is also responsible for their deaths, one by one speared so quickly into shreds, eyes closed.

		Touch of Darkness_________		The Shadow Bandit enchants his state of the art spears, dealing bonus damage. After every succeeding hit to the same target, Rakkel locks on, gaining sight and adds additional range. Spears stack up to 3 times. Range buff will last for 6 seconds.
		Ability Type:		Active
		Targeting Type:		Target
		Ability Hotkey:		T

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area of Effect	Duration	Allowed Targets	Effects
1	20	3	300	-	6	Enemy Unit / Neutrals	15 bonus damage, 2 sec sight gain, 80 range.
2	20	2	350	-	6	Enemy Unit / Neutrals	20 bonus damage, 2.5 sec sight gain, 100 range.
3	20	1	400	-	6	Enemy Unit / Neutrals	25 bonus damage, 3 sec sight gain, 120 range.
4	20	0	450	-	6	Enemy Unit / Neutrals	30 bonus damage, 3.5 sec sight gain, 140 range.

Notes

When Rakkel attacks the same unit for quite awhile and uses Touch of Darkness, he will add range and bonus damage after every succeeding hit. 15/20/25/30 initial bonus damage hits every time casted.
If Rakkel casts a spell however was still aiming at the same unit, he will still be able to continue the range buff for the next 6 seconds (the duration of the range buff) only if he didn't attack any other unit.

		Mental Diversion_________		The shadow entities of the Shadow Bandit envelops into an area, causing an eclipse of confusion to manipulate his enemies' mental stability. All enemy units that are affected by the shadow have their movement path reversed. Rakkel also gains vision of the affected units in the area. Lasts for 4 seconds.
		Ability Type:		Active
		Targeting Type:		Point / Area
		Ability Hotkey:		R

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area of Effect	Duration	Allowed Targets	Effects
1	85	25	500	-	4	Enemy Units / Neutrals	350 AoE
2	90	21	500	-	4	Enemy Units / Neutrals	400 AoE
3	95	17	500	-	4	Enemy Units / Neutrals	450 AoE
4	100	13	500	-	4	Enemy Units / Neutrals	500 AoE

Notes

Cast it on the ground and all enemy units within the area will have reversed movement for a few seconds. Rakkel also gains vision of the area of effect. This skill is to potentially shut down your opponent's offensive capability and improve yours, due to your enemies disability, you can go right ahead in and destroy him.

		Shadow Bind_________		The Shadow Bandit releases a net of dark energy, binding 2 units together. These 2 units are now blinded and will lose vision of everything. Only until and unless they come in contact with Rakkel or the duration ends, they will lose the debuff. However, during the duration, they will be damaged per second and lose MS. Rakkel gains vision of the linked units for the duration of the skill. Lasts 5 seconds.
		Ability Type:		Active
		Targeting Type:		Unit
		Ability Hotkey:		W

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area of Effect	Duration	Allowed Targets	Effects
1	90	23	450	-	5	Enemy Units / Neutrals	30 damage and 5% stacking slow per second.
2	90	21	450	-	5	Enemy Units / Neutrals	40 damage and 7% stacking slow per second
3	100	19	450	-	5	Enemy Units / Neutrals	50 damage and 9% stacking slow per second.
4	100	17	450	-	5	Enemy Units / Neutrals	60 damage and 11% stacking slow per second.

Notes

Preferably, the skill will link enemy heroes more in favor of enemy units. Its simple. You chain 2 units, they be will dealt damage to each other and get slowed until they've come in contact with you or the duration has ended. Slow stack max cap ends at 35%
A placemarker will be seen by Rakkel in which units are affected. The 2 linked enemy units will lose sight.

		Darksight_________		The Shadow Bandit loses his inner sanity and enables Darksight, adjusting his sight to the minimum value. But with the companionship of darkness, any damage source will reveal the attacker throughout the duration, additionally releasing a dagger of pure damage to the nearest enemy. If the dagger hits a target, Rakkel also gains sight of that particular unit. Revealed units that are attacked by Rakkel are dealt by bonus pure damage. Duration lasts accordingly to level.
		Ability Type:		Active
		Targeting Type:		Point / Area
		Ability Hotkey:		E

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area of Effect	Duration	Allowed Targets	Effects
1	-	60	-	-	8	Enemy Units / Neutrals	Dagger deals 60 pure damage, lasts for 8 seconds.
2	-	50	-	-	9	Enemy Units / Neutrals	Dagger deals 80 pure damage, lasts for 9 seconds.
3	-	40	-	-	10	Enemy Units / Neutrals	Dagger deals 100 pure damage, lasts for 10 seconds.

Notes

At cast, Rakkel loses vision of everything around him (also allied). And, any damage source at Rakkel will trigger of a dagger going the same direction it took place. This works like PotM's Arrow or Batrider's Flamebreak, igniting at the first hit target.
Bonus damage per level - 20/40/60 damage.
If the dagger hits an enemy unit, the dagger will deal 60/80/100 pure damage and attain sight of the unit as well. Note that the attacker (the unit that initially attacked Rakkel) will also be seen as soon as he attacks.

Last Word:

I've yet to perfect this hero as Rakkel is still full of loopholes and some codability issues. So please, bear with me and at least, support Rakkel. It would really mean a lot to me. I also hope you have read through Rakkel from top to bottom, haha. Thank you for reading him and please please post comments or suggestions on how you think I can improve him further. Thanks for the future feedback.

	But the problem of the one you suggest has scheme problems (presentation wise) that will break the chemistry of how the hero looks like. The Photon Call icon is yours, it looks good with it, but I'm not quite sure with the others.
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 03:56 PM by king_james

	no ..only the Sagittarius icon ..if you wnt i can change the collor !!(if collor is the "chemistry")
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:01 PM by greno

	which one is the sagittarius icon?
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:03 PM by king_james

	O.O ...the yelow icon ! that : http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5226/saggitarius.jpg the first skill being cool, but needs damage and more stun time like 1 sec !!
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:10 PM by greno Updated 11-27-2009 at 04:23 PM by greno

	There I've added the icon. I'll fix that later on. Anyway, the first kill is there to contribute some sort of anti-channeling skill. I'll add damage, sure.

	Quote: Originally Posted by greno if you want ..i changed the color..appears a night spell now Yes please change the color, it looks horrible at yellow. Something that looks like Skill 1 - 3.
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:28 PM by king_james

	Might I add... Sagittarius has a theme of "COSMIC"... so I don't understand how a knight with an arrow fits in at all.
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:30 PM by king_james

	a arrow because his story is a little complicate ..but resume in a centaour with vengeance and bla bla bla Sagittarius (astrology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:37 PM by greno

	Bro, don't worry about the story, I have that covered, just help me with the skills. I'm not too sure... I have some ideas, but I don't think it will work well (especially passive [skill 3])
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:41 PM by king_james

	ok ..this is not the story ..is the answer to your question! xD passive ..lets see .. more movement speed and agility points ?? or more movement speed and critical chance... or more agility points and chance to avoid some damage .. or more movment speed and chance to avoid damage .. see if you liked
	Posted 11-27-2009 at 04:46 PM by greno Updated 11-27-2009 at 04:52 PM by greno

	The icon is fine. I added it just now. The idea is simplistic, but that makes it dull. We need something fresh. (Added MS/AS/Crit/+Stats are boring)
	Posted 11-28-2009 at 03:40 AM by king_james

	...% of silence when attacks him % of dodge attacks % to return attack % of overhit
	Posted 11-29-2009 at 12:14 PM by greno

i have an idea to ultimate...

shoots an arrow into the air doing the same to bounce from enemy heroes, each bounce adds extra damage

lvl 1= bounces max 3 heroes; dealing 100 dmg and 30 dmg per bounce; 200 mana cost ; 120 sec
lvl 2= bounces max 4 heroes; dealing 190 dmg and 25 dmg per bounce; 180 mana cost ; 100 sec
lvl 3= bounces max 5 heroes; dealing 260 dmg and 20 dmg per bounce; 160 mana cost ; 80 sec
