Guardian of Naxxramas
Sapphiron

Background Story: In ages past, the ancient Dragons who were near death flew to the land of Northrend to die. They left entire graveyards that are littered with massive petrified bones and skulls. When Ner'zhul the Lich King took control of Northrend, he used his powerful magics to raise Sapphiron, the ancient Blue Dragon Champion as a frost wyrm. Now Sapphiron radiates cold, devestating power and thinks of nothing other than serving his dark master. (credits to ToT712)

Since this hero is still under development, I'll try to help you with some ideas.

Name: Sapphiron, Frostbrood Champion. / Guardian of the Dragonblight.

Story:
In ages past, the ancient Dragons who were near death flew to the land of Northrend to die. They left entire graveyards that are littered with massive petrified bones and skulls. When Ner'zhul the Lich King took control of Northrend, he used his powerful magics to raise Sapphiron, the ancient Blue Dragon Champion as a frost wyrm. Now Sapphiron radiates cold, devestating power and thinks of nothing other than serving his dark master. (This is not Sapphiron's real WoW story)

2nd Skill: Frost Bomb — Sapphiron sends a frostbolt to a target enemy dealing damage over 3 seconds before exploding a dealing damage to all enemies around the main target (300 AoE).


Good luck and keep up the good work!

(100% MS reduction for 1 second) is there such a thing? If you mean stun/root than write that, because I don't think that MS can go down to 0. I'll review him tomorrow (send me a message if I forget )

[SpiderPig]

4th skill where is?

[crazyty]

I love the concept. I would love to try the hero

IIRC, Ensnare is 100% MS reduction. It is possible to have 0 MS.

Frost Breath is ultimate. I don't have 2nd skill right now. That's why this is WIP

Will wait for your last skill but slow/slow/slow/slow seems kind of ... well, repititive?

[NoThlnG]

^ Well, it's to maximize the effect of 3rd skill.

Anyway, Viper also has 3 slowing skill. So, why not?

Exactly. Shouldn't make a Viper clone, eh buddy?

I'm, too, kinda irritated from the slow/slow/slow factor. But I guess we now know that the missing spell will have no slow :P

For a review, I'll also wait in line for when you finish the Hero.

I'm curious to see how you can code the 3rd skill's effects.


Also, on a side note: ranged tank is badass, but kinda op, seeing as we have a pernament lvl3 Elder Form Dragon Knight here. Well, almost.

[Maxflax]

I thought of a spell that dealt high damage - % of enemy's current movementspeed.

Nice hero!

[ToT712]

I made you a background story at post #2, seems you haven't read it...

[king_james]

Ain't this hero gonna be a bitch?

Skill 1 is nifty. It separates the real threat from the pawns that want to join in on the fight their not even supposed to be in. Great skill.

Skill 3 is well thought out. Its not a forced type of synergy IMO. Its more of a strategic additive to the skill-set of this hero (made it fancy eh?) I like the reduction on the armor. I think this can be the key change or extra synergy that can make Sapphiron more dynamic. (Read on later)

Ultimate is new and unique. You attack your target, but inflict a slow on the people who want to fuck up your opportunity. I think its... genius. I got your back on this skill. The % chance to freeze is also a pretty additive. Nice.

I disagree with the others. I think the slow factor isn't that strong. Note that the ultimate does not re-affect the enemy you are targeting to be slowed (again), but rather the other foes in the AoE around him. Note that NoThlnG had to make the 3rd skill work better and keep things in balance, the Ulti did just that.

Suggestions: Skill 2 can be something that revolves around an armor-type disable. Note that your 3rd ability puts a small armor reduction on your enemies. If you can, in some way make a synergetic ability out of armor manipulation, you can probably connect everything to make it a deadly combo.

Overall, I think this hero is pretty good. Not the best, but definitely has potential to be. I love Frost Wyrm heroes, and though I do, I can't make one myself due to the limited capacity of imagination. I like this though. Very unique concept of involving the slow to be a catalyst for making things work.

Isn't Knight Davion when being a dragon can give the same effect at level 3?

3rd skill code is not that hard IMO though not easy.

Yeah, almost but remember that damage isn't splash which is big differences

Nice hero!

3rd skill reduces armor => high damage for -%

I've read it but I didn't have enough time to change the OP (actually, I've finished the 2nd skill at last post)

Hmm... Well, I've think of 2nd skill a rather different one (as well as some change in 1st skill)

Buffed the 3rd skill as well

Davion's 3rd dragon deals 'splash' damage with 'splash slow'. While this only deals 'splash slow' with chance to freeze

[†GodKing†]

What is this?

[NoThlnG]

^ Hero suggestion... xD

[FallinDevast]

I'll say this first, AA was a horrid attempt at introducing a new ice-themed hero

Concept: another ranged str hero which slows enemies hard, facing Davion in elder3 is already a nightmare lol. I guess it's alright since the Frost Wyrm model has an inherent handicap (turning it around is very painful to watch, Jakiro shares the same problem) and Sapphy here only got 285 base ms.

1st skill - Good concept, with a team of AoE nukers (Sapph with his best pal Jak, I'd love to see them side by side obliterating stuff) this spells doom for the enemy army. Pretty original nuke I say, GJ.

2nd skill - I want to see that glacier, aside from that it's a very good containment spell and works really really well with 1st skill and *Macropyre*. Another great spell in his arsenal.

3rd skill - slow abuse much? haha. This skill is a must have! together with the rest of his skillset (Sapph, Jak, Veno, Crix, AA *I can't forgive myself in including him*) will surely ruin your opposition's day.

Ultimate - wow, so freeze = 0 ms. Chance based proc-effect is not really good in a str hero, but it's a proper ultimate to say the least.

Overall: Slow is becoming overused but Sapph takes it a li'l further and abuses it in a creative way, I love it. T-Up.

[NoThlnG]

^ Hmm... Actually I was thinking making the ulti like Slark's. I mean, make it to have both passive and active part. The passive is the current one with less numbers while give active that increases AS (for more synergies) but I thought the AS bonus doesn't really fit the model and the skill name so I exclude it

[FallinDevast]

^ Perhaps the active could be "Freezes target on next attack" or "deals bonus damage with respect to the target's missing movespeed (like 0.5 of missing ms as bonus) it would still synergize with 1st skill"

I didn't say it was hard to code, I said I was curious. You know that a Testmap is always a plus, right?

Well, the attack effects were the 'kinda' that I mentioned.
