Explanation: Being empowered by retribution, he channels his vengeance onto his every attack.

Level 1 - accumulates all damage taken and deals it as damage to his next attack. 50 damage cap.

Note:When this skill is activated all damage taken will be added to his normal attack separately (simillar to back stab and the old empowering haste)
to prevent certain damage multiplier abuses. Damage is considered a combination of physical and magic(similar to land mine) which means it will be reduced by both armor and magic resistance.

__________________________________________________


Beacon of Light

Explanation: Those who fight in the name of the light shall be protected by it. Any damage done to Caleb and his comrades has a chance to trigger a healing effect that stacks indefinitely .

Level 1 - 15% chance to heal 30 hp every second for 3 seconds. Has a 1000 Aoe
Level 2 - 15% chance to heal 50 hp every second for 2 seconds. Has a 1000 Aoe
Level 3 - 15% chance to instantly heal 110 hp. Has a 1000 Aoe

In Depth Explanation

Duration is N/A
Casting Range is N/A
Casting Time is instant N/A

Cooldown: N/A
Mana Cost: N/A



Note: Each level gives a different instance of the aura meaning that if for example you are within 600 range of Caleb you will benefit from the 3 separate effects of the aura. So you will have 3 independent chances to be healed with 8 different outcomes.(possibility of not being healed at all is also included) Each instance of the aura will also stack by itself and will even before it's duration is finished. Also the heal will happen after the damage has been dealt which means it will not save you from being killed by a fatal blow.

More updates to come....

[FlamingFist]

hmm

btw make your icon at proper borders and definitely 1st skill needs a remake

ill be back giving you fell reviews....just kinda busy right now

[manafusion]

OMG! 2nd skill is like partial damage reversal!

but for an ulti, healing 60/80/100 at 15/10/5% chance is kinda underpowered. UNLESS! they can all proc at the same time if the fag is lucky to get it.

T-up to concept but T-down to ulti icon, that sun is too bright for my eyes!

[Kape Puro]

The Icons are temporary I'll change them soon and maybe rework my ult.

[FlamingFist]

ok reviews now

model - ofc...the only melee-healer
icon - 3rd skill....hmm not very fitting...but some are good though, and put them on passive borders
layout - average...good
theme - his skills fits his theme besides the ulti[LIST=1]
stats - good, but maybe higher the int gain to 1.9-2.1
numbers - NERF is necessary
names - ok, but not very great, too simple

skill 1 - definitely a remake, except for a normal heal + dps, doesnt very fit his theme

suggestion - maybe a instant heal, or a passive, blocking damage received etc....from some tanking

skill 2 - concept is good, numbers are imba. so at limit them to 5 units at all levels....also damage taken is 5/5/10/10%..also duration should be 4/4/5/5...anyways..they still can be nerfed.

skill 3 - wtf....another good concept but numbers are imba.....maybe this should be reserved from an ulti....duration of buff is 10 and until you do your next attack right??? anyways...eight seconds cooldown? completely spammable. limit the damage cap to 30/50/70/90 if you want it a normal skill and with spammable rate.

ulti - why is numbers down? 15/10/5%???lol..... concept is good numbers are imba................Btw nothing too add but Each level gets a higher % and aoe...concept is really good.. btw does it affects himself??

overall - concept is good numbers are imba

[manafusion]

who say the only melee-healer. unless you mean that he is the only melee that focuses more to healing, then i agree.

for ulti, the chance value goes down but the aura(s) from the previous level(s) stay (is what he said)

... ya know xan, i was wondering... how do you prioritise your review giving?

he posted this abt 3 days after mine and gt a review done already!

Skill 1: I think it fits his theme well. This was the skill that inspired the name. A 320 aoe heal/damage is no joke when pushing down a lane.

Skill 2: Reworked.

Skill 3: Reworked.

Skill 4: Reworked. If the numbers where any higher he would be pushing down the inner tower by lvl 8 coz he would be healing himself and his allies like crazy, and Yes it affects himself.
Update:
Changed icon border and reworked ult. Also reworked some numbers.

[manafusion]

... now try upping chance for ult to 20/15/10 % and increase total heal to 100/120/140. Gives a much better chance and does not seem underpowered when using it during lane pushes/defends. Lastly, make it affects hero only.

of course, % value is optional but heal rate total heal value is a must. Sum of all three heals (that almost never occurs) is 240. with the new value, it is 360 (but mostly would be 220/100).

When I thought of his ult back then it was 30%. But realizing how often it would happen I think 15% is just fine.(think counter helix) Besides I made it so that it would stack with itself so the heal output would be much more effective, and besides its an aura. How would you like if your enemy's creep wave was being healed more than your dps. Raising the numbers any higher would make it overpowered.

[manafusion]

which is why i suggest making it work for HERO only. meaning this skill would never work for creeps. at least it makes your ulti more... ulti-like.

[Kape Puro]

Making it hero only would somehow defeat his purpose of leading an army to the frozen throne. Besides that's what the mana cost is there for. to make sure he doesn't over stay at the enemy's front lines.

Update: Balanced mana cost of ult

[manafusion]

i see... but in the end, around mid-late end game, these creeps dies to enemy heroes easily thus defeating the purpose of having it as ulti.

LOL lets see you take down an accumulated creep wave with at least Caleb and an ally hero. When they are all under a constant healing effect that happens so often at lvl 16 it will even make Pitlord's aoe look bad.

LAWL! one man army, my son! i played KoTH and owned a whole creep wave in just secs.

1 illuminate won't kill all of them and most would probably be healed to full health with the 1st skill shortly after. But hey That's a good way to counter dedicated pushers. 1 more reason that the skill is not overpowered nor underpowered in most cases.

[manafusion]

you know, Counter Helix don't trigger if hit by magic spells.

[Kape Puro]

I didn't realize that about counter helix I always knew axe would spin if hit by a spell. But none the less it was only in comparison, spells will trigger this effect.

[manafusion]

• Counter Helix checks for triggering whenever an attack against Axe begins, not when Axe is actually damaged by said attack.

lol. mostly, this is more to damage via physical. thats why most high atk-spd agi heroes that doesnt have slow avoid him. The only way to kill Axe is by using a high damage output hero.

Yep I knew that, but never thought spells don't trigger it. Nevertheless the mechanics of Clabes ult is different, having the effect after the damage has been dealt.
