[IMPLEMENTED][Icon/Animation] Forked Lightning

Zack1996 · 08-11-2009, 12:00 PM

Forked Lightning. A spell used by Shadow Shaman, Rhasta. The hero uses Voodoo Magic. Forked Lightning fits him so well (NOT!)

Therefore, I propose a simple Animation/Icon remake for Forked Lightning, nothing more, just an animation change to make the ability fit his theme. Although his story says something about Forked Lightning, I'm guessing its just there to make it "fit".

Ancient Magic

Channels Ancient Magic on the target enemy unit, damaging the target and multiple nearby enemy units.

EFFECT:

Uses a Forked Lightning effect tinted Orange (254/138/14) and

Current Skillset:

Proposed Skillset:

Pros:
-Fits his theme better
-Skillset looks better

Cons:
-Lack of hit-effects that look good

So what do you guys think?

Note: This is merely a possible suggestion for how Forked Lightning should look like. The main idea is to replace the current animation and make it fit Rhasta's Theme.

~~I don't really like the spirit link lighting, and the icon isn't that good, although it fits his skillset.~~
I say t-up anyways, more voodoo-ish

Did you just recolor it to yellow?

Anyway, I like new theme, like better icon and fits colors.

No, Blizzard did. Its an in-game effect.

Thanks for the support

BTW, it looks slightly more Orange in-game.

no, he just uses a different lightning model. no imports.

thumbs up, as this fits his theme better. a better icon would be better tho. like a recolored forced lightning -> yellow.

_Blazechicken_ · 08-11-2009, 03:45 PM

T-up. Fits his theme and good animation.

Forked is edited version of Chain Lightning (Arc Lightning).

MurazorOFAngmar · 08-11-2009, 05:18 PM

t-up

qlq · 08-11-2009, 05:29 PM

Tested it in WE and it looks great. T-up from me^^

noerK · 08-11-2009, 06:07 PM

never liked the overused lightning skills...
medusas lightning got removed finally - thats nice

so i am going to t-up you suggestion. remove the unfitting lightning-spell from rhasta.. he is voodoo... not lightning^^

Rubn · 08-11-2009, 06:42 PM

looks good, icon too. fits the voodoo theme so t-up

Infrisios · 08-11-2009, 07:04 PM

Isn't the sound attached to the model?

JJE92 · 08-11-2009, 08:47 PM

Thumbs Down on Icon, its used by Multicast and it doesnt fit to the skill either. TUp on animation, this looks great.

Skizzm · 08-11-2009, 09:14 PM

I'm not so sure about the icon (it looks good, but doesn't represent the skill well)
Thumbs up on name change and animation.

AXN · 08-12-2009, 02:45 AM

This is indeed fitting for the Voodoo magic theme of Rhasta. Will it be possible for Rhasta's casting animation to be the one where in he places a ward in the ground? (It has one in World Editor, I forgot what animation number that was...) I think it would fit since the icon and the "placing the ward casting animation" shows where the projectile comes out right rather than using the overused casting animation he has currently.

NoThlnG · 08-12-2009, 04:52 AM

Icon are bad but skill looks good...

ZΣD · 08-12-2009, 06:43 AM

good t-up from me

Sedgar · 08-12-2009, 06:52 AM
