(Int-Neutral) Geo, The Shape Shifter, Testmap soon

[geo8]

Allways Updating
GEO, THE SHAPE SHIFTER
If you dont Like the name, it could be change to Arcanis, The Shape Shifter

First of all i want to say
that this is one of the heroes i was building for my one Dota style map, befor i find out that that allredy existed, and it was called DOTA
My first post ever
I dont have idea how to put icons an images (i never participate in forums)
English is not my first lenguage, so sorry for the spelling mistakes

The Basic Idea is having an Invokers style Heroe, one that can kuickly adapt to difrent situations by changing its skills
[COLOR="PaleGreen"]




Model: I used furion`s one, but it had alredy been used so if you think about a semi-human model ( not ugly) share it
EDITED: Whisp model has been sugested

I`m trying to create a test map, but it will take long before i figurate out how to build the skills, so be pacient

STORY:

Even a human is child of Nature
He feeds from the earth, he flows with the river
He seeks wind`s freedom, he hides fire inside his heart
And after evrithing ends, and life seems to banish
He comes back, once again, son of the element that created him
Once more, borned from Nature

To those who dear to harm Nature
Would be judged by the Wrath of the centuries,
Let Nature`s will, become his
Geo

As tormented soul, I prefer a nice text instead of a story, if you dont like it, I can introduce a good story

Affiliation: Neutral
Damage: 48 - 58
Armor: 2.8
Base Attack Time: 1.8
Movespeed: 285
Attack Range: 128 (melee)
Sight Range: 1800 / 800

Strength
18 + 2
Agility
18 + 2
Intelligence
18 + 2 Main Attribute

Haw it Works
Here is how it works, Geo has 4 shapes that he can adquire for some seconds, each shape grants some bonifications and gives one active skill and one passive skill, unic of the shape you are using. By using the active ability, you instantly lose the shape you are using. By upgrading Armony, you would be able to combine shapes to be granted of both bonifications and both shapes passive skills (you wont be able to reset your shape type by using 2 or 4 shapes becouse you have no more active skills).
PASSIVE SKILLS ARE KEPT WHILE USING ONLY 2 SHAPES, WHILE USING MORE YOU DONT ACUMULATE THEM
SHAPESHIFTING COSTS LOTS OF MANA AND NEEDS TIME, THE ONLY WAY TO GO BACK TO YOURS ORIGINAL SHAPE SO YOU CAN SHIFT INTO SOMETHING DIFRENT IS WAITING 8s OR USING A SKILL, USING TWO SHAPES SIMULTANESLY OR ENTERING INTO THE ULTIMATE SHAPE IS NOT SOMETHING NESESARELY GOOD.

when changing shape, all shapes wold have the coldown
Coldowns and costs of the active abilityes are the same on porpouse, becouse you are kuickly changing shapes and combining skills, would be very dificult memorizing the mana cost of each skill
Coldowns, durations and costs of the difrent shapes are the same on porpouse, the same as befor it will make the character mor fluid to use

And yes, if you have alredy noticed in the stadistics, i like number 8

Lasts: 10s

Passive: Will for life

Geo`s will for life is more powerfull than death itself, wile greater his wounds, greater is his will for keeping alive
_you gain 0.1 armor 0.04% life regeneration for each 1% missing life points



AT FIRST I WAS PLANNING TO CREATE NEW SKILLS FOR EACH 2 SHAPES CONVINATION, BUT THAT COULD BE TO MUCH, THEN IM ASKING FOR YOUR OPINION.
MUST GEO HAVE NEW SKILLS WHILE COMBINATING 2 SHAPES OR JUST KEEP BOTH SHAPES PASSIVE SKILLS? VOTE

NEW SKILL:

One with the universe
Geo`s body is one with everything sorrounding him, even magic. When he becomes in contact with an enemy`s attack, his body becomes the same as the magic, becoming more powerfull for a short period and being healed instead of harmed if the same magic reaches him again.
20% of last magic damage recived is gaines as attack bonus, healed instead of harmed if the same magic reaches him again.
Coldown: 8s
Passive: activates when reached by a skill
(this is just an idea i have for a skill, it fits the character, but i don`t know if its works well with the hole thing)

As you can see, you can only cause good damage by using sinergis beetween shapes, using just one doesnt have greats efects

SINERGIS:
Ciclone + Fire shape: Force your oponents to keep near you wile you burn them alive with consume and envolve
Flow + Fire shape: Recive a greater agility bonus from the fire shape
Flow + Earth shape: Recive a greater Streanght bonus from earth shape
Ciclone + flow: Keep your enemies inside the area where you recive bonus stats
Wind shape + Water shape: Evade enemies attack while you escape and regenerate
Water shape + Earth shape: Tons of armor, damage absorsion and regeneration
Ciclone + Fire shape + Earth shape + Water shape + Air shape = Make sure your enemies will have dificulties to run away, attack them with fire shape, turn into earth shape to make them more dificult to harm you, use water shape to enter into energy shape an finish them with Elemental Simphony, if you are prety bad hurt, use air shape to enter intos Geo`s ultimate shape and laught wile your enemis try to kill you and they regeneration acts against them.
TOO MUCH COMBINATIONS TO NAME THE ALL


Best Friends:
Obsidian destroyer ( becouse of his aura)


Worst Enemies:
Silencer:To be Silenced is bad, but curse of the silent will force you to use a skill and lose your shape, if casted with 2 or 4 shapes you would be doomed
Earth Shaker: So much stuns wont let you Shape Shifting, you are an easy target
Mages style Heroes: A real danger, specialy when you are in Air Shape
Heroes With stun: They disable you, without shapeshifting you are nothing
Heroes With mana destroying skills: Geo has very little mana for an inteligence heroe, mana consumption would be terrible for him
Hunter heroes: They attack and they dont give you time for shape shifting more than once

Good against:
Hunter heroes: by being you who attack them, yo prepare with wind shape to reach them cuickly, you use vortex to lose your shape and turn into Earth Shape to be more resistant. Use fisure to damage a lot ,stun, and lose your shape. If he tries to run, change to air shape to catch him.... convined with fire shape for a better result.
Tank Heroes: use the convination of water shape and earth shape, and see who is more thought


The other heroes who have an advantege or disadvantege with or against Geo would depend on wich shapes have you leveled up

Builds: Once again, depends on wich shapes you prefer using, but something you need that Geo lacks, IS MANA, so

LINKEN SPHERE: Mana, life, stats, and a way to lose your disadvantege against disabling skills
Arcane Ring: Gives you mana replenish, so you would be able to use your difrent shapes frecuently
Power threads: Choose the more convinient Stats bonus
Black king Bar: Lose your vulnerability to magic while in air shape, and be protcted against stuns


Other items would depend as i said before, on the shapes you had leveled up


The character was originaly even more complex, but that would dificultly fit in DOTA

PLEASE COMENT IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING VALUAVLE TO SAY, DONT TALK FOR JUST TALKING, HELP ME TO MAKE IT MORE COMPATIBLE WITH DOTA, TO BALANCE IT... ETC
IMPORTANT: THOSE WHO KNOW HAW TO MANIPULATE WARCRAFT`s SCRIPTS FOR CREATING ABILITYS OR HAW TO ACCES GETDOTA`S ICON DATABASE, PLEASE EMAIL ME TO gueco8@gmail.com
^^
thanks a lot

[MacroHard]

So at level 25 you have a passive +25 str, +25 agi, 80 damage per second immolation, +12 armor, +20% movespeed, +20% attack speed, 80% evasion, an 800 ranged attack, and a +3% hp/sec regen.

Sounds fair.

You should use the pack to create proper icon for warcraft 3. Check in my signature.
All your icon come from wow and don't follow wc3 iocn style.

[geo8]

I thought i was clear, you only have both passive skills wile using only 2 shapes
While using more, you gain the stats all of them provides, but not the passive skills. While entering into Energy Shape or Ultimate Shape you only have two skills
¿And where did the attack speed bonus came from?

An each shape shifting cost 80 mana and has 4 s coldown, having 3 shapes will cost 240mana and you would require at least 12s to cast them all without using others skills

And why you all replay just for saying lol?
Say something usefull, and idea, an opinion, help me to balance it... ¿and what does LOL means?

[Mae Shirayuki]

Nice idea for using the Shape Shifter name. I think you can use the Sentinel's Wisp as your hero model. It doesn't looks like any human or creature shape. So, it suit to be a shape shifter. If you use human-type model, people will think that is that any human can change form?

[geo8]

Finally a usefull coment, thanks for replying... The wisp model could fit, making it human whas becouse is that how it looks in... well, the storys i`ve written, but i like the wisp idea. ¿And you only liked the name? ¿What about the hero concept? ¿And the skills originality?

[KazaKaza]

Pretty confusing >.<... so how many skills does this guy have? He looks like an Invoker type hero :O... Overall pretty nice... a bit change in icon ,too flashy...

[manafusion]

this hero is the ARCH-NEMESIS of Invoker!!!!

1st is language errors:

The will of fire to consume evrithing, Geo throws a spark at target area that will kuickly spread into a mighty fire, units touched by the fire will be consumed, being damage and becoming more vulnerabe to harm during this efect

Noticeable errors. its supposed to be everything, quickly, vulnerable and effect.

Water is always changing, adquires the shape it needs and shapes the earth itself, the seed of life.

this one's corrected word is acquires.

The will of wather for change. Geo will call a water torrent sorrownding him, incresing allies stats within the area.

corrected words: water, surrounding, increasing.

Water sorrounds Geo`s body, absorving part of the damage dealt to him

correction: surround, absorbing.

Fire breathes, grows, consumes everything that once was, and from it`s ashes borns everything that can bee

question mark when skill explanation reaches end. need fixing on this part.


.... any more and my head goes bonkers... if you see any red underlined words, make an effect to right-click them and click on the proper words. it helps if you re-read your posts from time to time to re-check for errors. saying that your english is bad because you are a foreigner may be a good excuse but as long as there are word checkers, you won;t really make a lot of mistakes (except in phrasing of sentences).

[manafusion]

ok, onto skill review:

fire and earth - fire means destruction and carnage. suitable increase should be damage. earth means protection, blessing, towering defense (mountain). earth should increase armor of unit.

Armony - should be called Elemental Harmony. how do you decide which elements to combine with? this needs some explanation... also, there is a need for active skills. even though there will be a long list, you still have to write it down. also, elements that do not compliment each other cannot be chosen (i.e: fire and water, earth and wind) so, for two elements, it can be earth and fire/water, fire and earth/wind, etc. For three elements, it should be noticable already, your main will combine with the other two elements. if your main element is fire, it combines with earth and wind.

overall: needs some brushing up on explanation that might be missed by some.
concept and idea is unique to its characteristics. skills are not OP nor are they underpowered.

i give T-UP for this!

[Klockan3]

This is a great concept actually, a few things could need some polish (Especially your spelling) but overall great!

[コクーン]

My point of view:

I think, concept-wise, that you did a great job trying to integrate Invoker and Bane Elemental. The many skills gives the hero more flexibility and more skills synergies making him a force to be reckoned with. I like your idea making him a spirit who can shape shift into elements. I also liked the background story; it's poetic, emotional, and it gives the hero a twist of mystery. Making the hero melee is something new, as I would have expected a ranged hero for someone with so many elemental skills. The concept overall is impressive as it is excellent. T-UP for that. As for the skills, the numbers need some major tweaking. Looking at the Fire Shape itself, the level 5 Immolation makes him nearly untouchable by certain melee heroes such as Gondar, Rikimaru, and other paper-thin melee heroes. Anyway, good concept, T-UP, but the skills and numbers need some adjusting.

[manafusion]

@MegaWeedle - give paragraphs for your sentences, its soo clustered i need to sift them out and my eyes aint that good either. (abt +5.0 each eye)

[xy4kuz4x]

Bit complicated. I'm sorry can't review now.

Just like dark seer...

He is a melee int, remember that.

[コクーン]

@manafusion:
lol, I'm sorry, I'm not very good with my paragraphs. I have a B in English because of it.

@Klockan3
Not sure if I got your point but alright.

[geo8]

I know the fire Shape`s Envolve Ability is a little to powerfull... but deal almost the same damage that Seer`s Ion Shell, and cant be casted to allies.
Also you must lvl the skill 5 times, so having that damage takes a little more time than the Ion Shell

THANKS A LOT FOR REVIEWING MY HEROE, MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY YOU LIKE IT
And special thanks to MegaWeedle, for praising my character
(Im not sure wat prise means, but i think is the word i was thinking of)

[xy4kuz4x]

can u use the template??

i'm bit confused to review
