Trying to change viper's theme into nether



Essence Flare
Coats Viper's attack with dark energy which slows movement and attack speeds of victim and lasts 2 seconds.
Credits to GraphiQ for the tooltip
 
Putrefy
Viper uses a mighty arcane power of Netherworld to make his attack more deadly. Deals more damage the lower the target's health is. Half damage on non-hero units and buildings.
Credits to GraphiQ for the tooltip

Nether Scales
Viper's body is covered with tough dragon scales and surrounded by evil energy which grants him increased resistance to spells. Also, any unit that attacks Viper will be burned, taking minor damage and having its movement speed and attack speed reduced for 3 seconds.
DOES NOT STACK WITH POISON BUFF

    I like the idea, which came up earlier at DA, but I think that the missilies are too similiar currently.

    The missiles are slightly similar because this way it can show how each of vipers "attacks" becomes deadlier and more potent. From a normal attack that only deals damage, to an attack that burns and slows units (poison attack: nether breath) and finally into a powerful breath able to take down even the mightiest of warriors (viper strike).

    Fine by me. Though the third icon looks like a face. Which doesn't have much to do with viper?

    I saw this in your signature. You didn't post this as a suggestion, did you? But if you do, you have my support! I dislike the Poison Theme for Viper!

    Is there a testmap avaibled? I would like to see models ingame. On pictures they look quite cool!

    Btw, wouldn't look a purple tinting cool? Like the weakest ladder Nether Dragon.

    I dislike your icons for the passives.The totally lack WC3-Style.

    Those icons don't fit at all! He's a nether dragon with scales not something horned.

    Love the theme of the icons. Viper has a poor set of icons atm, and the missile looks good as well, though showing it in a test map might be better. How come you didn't create a topic for this?

    I need good tooltips and a buff effect for nether scales (poinon Skin) that is why I still haven't posted this yet.

    There is a problem. Current corrosive skin uses same buff as poison, so it doesn't stack. But if you change buff, it is stackable with other poison skills (I think). So it should use current buff, to only stay cosmetical.

    It could be coded to get removed whenever a poison effect of the same type hits a unit under the suggested nether scale.
