It doesn't feel alien to his skillset, it's a pressure ability which leads into assaults or allows him to finish targets off who run so he can pick on someone else with his heavy smacking. It makes absolute sense on his skillset, you're just blinded by the fact that you assume a hero that hits hard must only have skills that either make him hit harder or facilitate his ability to hit more often/more reliably. That is simply not the case.

Changes nothing about the ability except either making it unreliable or making it too able to keep up with someone.

I much prefer the current method of spawning ghosts.

Remember that not everything has to interact with conditions or whatever. The game is allowed a few skills here and again that simply 'do things.'

For the ghosts, other than some lame means of having them detach (Initially go towards target unit, and if they reach him, they function as normal, but if they damage some other unit en route, they stick around there, or something like that), or making the damage tweaked to be useless or something, I can't find a way for the ghosts to really be fixed without some drastic reimigaining...

But along those lines, we're looking for what, a skill that gives him a fire and forget finisher and a means of dealing with groups? I can't think of anything right now, but I'll have the cogs be turning for a bit...

Make ghosts move slower than most heroes unless some condition (As in dictionary definition, not DoE definition) is satisfied on target hero? This doesn't necessarily have to be "Target hero has condition."

I'm not sure I really like this idea much, but whatever. Having a condition (if there was one, I'd advocate it going faster if the hero in question is under X% health) kinda makes it a bit more situational.

I am convinced that Haunt really is happy as it is.. When 1.14 comes out, you'll see that Caliga's fine.

Alright, he's fine.

I had in mind that the ghosts would only move when the target hero was facing away, or at least would only move at a decent rate when target was facing away.

like the ghosts in super mario! That's actually a really cool idea

I thought then it has a counter, albeit one that isn't much better than waiting for the ghosts.
