[BUFF]: Exorcism: Cancel + TestMap

Raxet · 09-16-2009, 02:20 PM

I suggest adding a new ability to Krobelus. It will make her able to decide when to return her spirits to her. It won't be imbalanced because that way she will lose some of the damage the spirits could have done if they had stayed the full ultimate time. Also it will provide an escape mechanism which Krobelus desperadely needs.

Pros & Cons

Added a test map thanks to Cáno!

hmmm an interesting concept i like it

KenpachiSlardar · 09-16-2009, 08:04 PM

it can be imba if the chaser is melee and you call the spirits back and they all hit the chaser dealing massive damage!!!

Gheizen64 · 09-16-2009, 10:54 PM

Yeah, but would add an interesting layer of strategy to her ability. Also, chaser can just get to a side to avoid all spirit. And finally, krob isn't overpowered atm after her latest nerf, a little buff could be fine.

venom1617 · 09-16-2009, 11:03 PM

I wouldn't mind this at all.

infer · 09-16-2009, 11:23 PM

i rlly like this btw, if u want a scape mechanism vs chasers then go and buy a ghost staff dude, activate exorcism and spam carrion, if someone targets u, ACTIVATE GHOST scepter, anyway T-UP i rlly hate when it takes like 1 hour for the exorcism to heal me when im on krobelus

Infrisios · 09-16-2009, 11:27 PM

I am quite sure that it is not codeable, though.

It doesn't mean like that I'm sure. It means that the all spirit returns to you to heal your hp... Means the ulti will end...

lilaznelementz · 09-17-2009, 12:10 AM

cool idea this will come in handy if krob is going to die before her ult is finish. so she can cancel and heal from ult. if i understand it correctly lol.

well t-up for me

TheDamneD · 09-17-2009, 11:29 AM

Yeah, after the nerf, with 2 stuns, she's dead, not to mention Brood...

T-up, more survailabillity (I don't have a clue what i've just said...

)

CooLah · 09-19-2009, 02:48 PM

I like it

. It could prove to be really useful in some situations. It's like and emergency heal but lesser than the actual heal you receive when you ultimate ends because the spirits would have dealt less damage.

You have absolutely no idea how Exorcism works, do you?

Anyway it's a great idea. If its codable, that is. We couldn't use the ladder Locust Swarm anymore I'm guessing.

The problem is that this skill is a WC3 skill i.e. it isn't triggered.
To make that sub-skill, it needs to be triggered.

At the moment, when you cast Exorcism it looks like this:

It should look like this, so you can have the benefit of a heal in case of emergency by recalling the ghosts.

Now, this does not make it a toggle skill like Leshrec's ultimate or Pudge's rot. This will just allow you to call back your ghosts for the heal, but will trigger the cooldown as if you used the whole duration.

kanzakill · 09-25-2009, 04:18 AM

Nice one

Err really nothing more to say

eliebouzeid · 09-25-2009, 06:03 AM

good idea, but not sure if it affects balance.

Jenova- · 09-25-2009, 10:18 AM

Suggested the same thing on DA a while back, thus I fully support this.

For those concerned about the balance: remember that spirits will only heal you based on the damage they have dealt (so if you call them back immediately, they will not heal you by much).

gnaLor · 09-25-2009, 11:16 AM

Sure it is a buff, but a cool one imo

So if we should come to the point that this would be to strong, I'd rather suggest to remove 1-2 ghost per level thus implementing the drawback of the ghosts.
I think a new icon would be nice, the stop icon is ok for things like disabled dagger, but this should show ghosts coming back to her or so.

genehmster · 09-25-2009, 12:26 PM

cool.
