Arina, Servant of the Dark [a HI.]

Arina, Servant of the Dark

Born to do the bidding of Archimonde, Arina has been proficient in combatant abilities since young. She was once the personal guard of the Arch-devil, she enslaved herself to the latter for the sake of learning all known artes. It was only ages after that she felt contented, and was ready to be unchained. But in order to achieve her due freedom, she had to offer a part of her soul. Having powers like no others, she hesitantly did so, for she knew even a portion of her strength was able to cause mortal fatality to even an immortal. Now unbound by the selfish whims of her previous master, Arina is a free agent; free to do what she wills. It seemed so conspiratorial that she was offered a place in the Scourge's rankings, she accepted it however, knowing that it was too good a chance to pass up. It was the wisest decision of the Lich King and so to say, his wisdom was almost on par with his deviousness. The omnipotent Lich King assured Arina that the battalion of Sentinel were no better than filthy scum and the only redemption they deserved were their deaths. She was spurred. Bringing her new-found knowledge and retained god-like prowess, Arina decapitates her enemies, ensuring their eternal rest. As if that wasn't enough, she slays their wandering souls. If need be, she can step into the spiritual realm and re-appear distances away. Carnage and bloodshed didn't satisfy her, for she wants the gratifying taste of slaughtering a holy embodiment. It is the mark of becoming a `Servant of the Dark'.

SYNERGY

Skill Synergy

• Delirium to get within working range of Melancholy, then BOOM, BOOM, POW. Then use Wrath, scare the shizzles out of your enemies.

Hero Synergy

• Arina is best paired off with heroes such as Crystal Maiden, Ogre Magi, Shadow Priest, Butcher, Priestess of the Moon and such.
• A typical strength carry would need heroes with disables to aid in killing at the start.
• Synergizes doubly well with Shadow Priest and Crystal Maiden. The former has a healing spell with an offensive edge that damages nearby units. Set to maximize its utility with Arina's Shadow Step, since she's able to get near enemies. The latter provides bonuses not only Arina. A global Mp-regenerative aura, a slow and a disable. Rylai is DEADLY.
• Arina works triply well with heroes such as Silencer and Axe, for their skills force enemies to attack and/or use spells.
• Arina serves as a counter to Windrunner's Focus Fire, Witch Doctor's Death Ward, Enigma's Black Hole, Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field and negates all other channeling skills.

Item Synergy
Defensive -[LIST]
Vanguard, Power Treads, Heart of Tarrasque, Assault Cuirass, Hood of Defiance, Kelen's Dagger

• An all out defensive strategy! Power treads is subject to change, as PT provides additional damage output (due to the 30% IAS.). Vanguard is a very common tanking item, and so is HoT.

Offensive - Power Treads, Monkey King Bar, Black King Bar, Vladmir's Offering, Stygian Desolator

• Offense is the best defense, or so they say. The typical carry-build. Stygian Desolator's orb effect could be changed to Sange and Yasha, or just Yasha only.

Pursuit - Boots of Travel, Sange and Yasha, Lothar's Edge, Vanguard
Personal Combination - Vanguard, Power Threads, Vladmir's Offering, Eye of Skadi, Heart of Tarrasque and Butterfly.

• Vanguard for the ability to tank while you chase up to fleeing enemy heroes. Offering for all the beneficial auras gained. Eye of Skadi for capturing purposes. Heart of Tarrasque for, well, tanking? Butterfly for the evasion and DpS.

The reason for the anti-synergy between Terror and Wrath is to allow Arina an array of builds.

[Razorya]

A very interesting concept.. Do you have a model for it, just the icon now..?

[RazedBlossoms]

It's just the icon now, no suitable models for her T_T

[PLUTO]

Interesting concept . Hope u can find her model soon .

[Drikam]

lol, many people started to copy my idea of using Icefrog's str/agi/int icons. xD
that ulti icon reminds me something too. :P

Sweet shadowstep, minds me something too.
(I dont blame you for this, I gain ideas from others and other games too :P)

Bleeds an enemy inside out

WTF? XD :P :O :F :S


I dont understand the soul snapper skill (#1).
Whats an instance in this case..? I rly dont get it.

LOL! I didn't realize our icons are the same. I only settled down for that because I couldn't find something gory and bling.

At your question about instance in that case;
Each instance at level four would mean every 0.9 seconds within 475 AoE of Arina.

[Drikam]

Ah, understood. :P
Nice, then. Skill 1 would be annoying.. Everybody hates slow.. but wont it be too good?
u attack some1, and he CANT ESCAPE without blink, cause after 4.6 seconds he has 32% slow..

Think insta-slow Omniknight. Or Drow's frost arrows. The main component is to slow in a bigger AoE and in quantity. However, she can't have insta-32%-slow right. >_>

[Drikam]

what about aura + her?

sure, u r right.

[RazedBlossoms]

Of course I'm right! :rollseye: lol, kidding.
Yeah, Drow's Slow + Omni's aura is the win. If nobody stops by to help, you'd die frozen.

[~Maktor~]

OMFG awesome concept...this str female is much better than the other FAIL-DRAGON one lol...

i loved all skills...

nevermore skill + blink = shadow step
tidebringer + 666 factor = execution
bloodseeker's ult + silence? = angel's bane

anyways, add "silencer" to a "nice friends" list... he can silence oponent, then he casts curse of the silent, you cast Angel's Bane and then the enemy is fucked up... =D

T-UP i hope u find a model

[A.R]

Why're the icons for your first and second skill so dark? And why's the first one a disabled icon?

[RazedBlossoms]

It's a passive one, but the whole thing was so dark, lol. The second one was re-colored, the original one was too bright. ._.;;

[Pyreflies]

It's a nice concept, but the spelling and grammar is far below par. I took the liberty of editing it.

Now a free agent, Arina can fulfill her lust for slaughter and bloodshed. It seemed strange at first that she was offered a place within the ranks of the Scourge; but with an offer of bloodshed on the table she was powerless to resist. Arina is a fearsome opponent of the Alliance, rending souls from her opponents only to step into the shadow realm and reappear behind her foes. This is but a starter for Arina however, known as 'Angel's Bane' for a reason.

Only rewrote some parts of the skills which I thought were badly phrased etc. Sorry for the uninvited toying with your hero and slight necro. But it's a concept I really like

[Infinity]

Nice hero, has some potential, could use some tweaks here and there but I love the main concept, hope a suitable model can be found soon =p

Gahh, thanks for pointing that out! Did this at two in the morning, so I got my friend to do up the stories and such. But she could only type in Chinese and I was so lazy, I could only translate it literally using babel-fish, x_x

[Infinity]

I was thinking you could use a modified model of the night elf 'sentry' which can be found in the campaign section, I dunno if you're into those sorts of things, but i suppose someone could make a few changes if you ask them nicely.

[Whitefang]

Is she sexy? More than Lina or CM?

[bimjowen]

Ick at the name "Shadow Step;" I quit my Rogue for a reason... give it a unique name at least...

Also, giant t-down to the aura stolen from the Omniknight... on an Agi carry... wtf

Other than that, very good concepts

[RazedBlossoms]

Bump, reworked her Soul Snapper into Fear.

To the people who have seen how her previous skill worked, please rate how the new skill fares in comparison to the previous one.

Skills have also been renamed.
