Out of curiosity, were you the guest browsing this forum about 20 minutes ago?

Anyways:

Not so great. You only use conditions in the ultimate. Instead of using 'slow', why not use Cripple?

You need conditions to be involved in almost every skill (there are exceptions, however), and for the interactions between spells to be 'clever and intricate', to quote Dusk.
Math is # |e^iπ|

Logue: Please replace the toilet paper when you use it all. For some reason my 5 year old son believes if it's not there he does not have to wipe.

Shadow of the Cheesiness?
(Sorry.)

There isn't a lot of condition interaction. There is far too much slowing involved, and coupled with her shadowlings, she is a one-woman army. Shadowling is sort of cool, but an unkillable summon is sort of crazy. However, if a dragon or something like that was Shadowlinged, that would just be completely deadly (in a good way).

I think you need to play DoE a few more times in single player and then analyze how the heroes stack up to both each other and conditions in themselves. Also, every spell has the word "Shadow" in its name, that's not very cool, you should be more creative than that. Additionally, try to avoid excess buffs in general. Conditions exist for a reason and cover nearly all buff necessities.

Explain your two Raven abilities; I'm confused if whether or not there is any interaction between the two.
Sacrifice would be extra powerful with Anick since he doesn't even use mana. However, I find it would be too hard to balance since I find that Bane heroes are much more mana intensive and mana conservative. Because of smaller mana pools, you would need to change the move only slightly. Rikter is sad because he has no mana to use his ultimate :( .
The chance for a random condition of attack while in Raven Form seems to have been relatively arbitarily chosen. Instead you should do something like 50% chance to Bleed and 50% chance to Ruin, or something like what the trebuchets have.
The ultimate says something about if enemies are suffering a condition, you get bonus damage. Sounds obscure; which enemies? Otherwise, relatively cool ultimate.

I would suggest Raven Strike to be replaced with Savage Maul or something that will interact with your current form. And then if you're in normal form, you just summon a raven to attack? I dunno. Myabe if you're in bear form, it would cripple/maim/ruin the target...

Better hero than before, in my opinion.

Raven Strike and Raven form work together. I'm working for sacrifice to work with bear form.
