Caliga

[2-P]

Will have a limited internet access from tomorrow on so I rather post it now before I forget it. I thought of a few tweaks for every ability, let me know what you think. ^^


Haunt

• Target AoE
  Sends out a ghost at every enemy unit in the target AoE, every ghost deals X magickal damage.
  (Lower CD and far lower damage than current Haunt.

O Seal

• Target unit is muted and attracts nearby ghosts. Lasts X seconds.

VW

• Increases MS by X and turns etheral. Cali takes 50% physical and 200% magickal damage during VW.

Tombreaver

• X (high) life degen and Y extra attacks. Attacks ruin Cali and the target.

So Haunt a bit more spammable and has a slightly better aoe control. Ruin moved from OS to Tombreaver. I like how you could use VW to "nullify" the ruin on Cali (at the cost of extra magickal damage).
Was not a fan of the strength penalty during VW, since it lowers his attack damage and imo he should be able to hit as hard as possible in both forms!

I really don't like the idea of Caliga becoming some hyper wide-range AOE damager with that haunt. Also, the chasing of the ghosts to the OSealed unit seems kind of tacky and forced, it just feels a bit weird. (Even though similar things work for other heroes) I really think that Caliga should fit into the same kind of niche that Tristan does. Virtually/no crowd control and total single target harassment/annihilation. Caliga, naturally, is more about singling out and totally annihilating a single hero from a crowd than Tristan.

I don't really like the attacks ruining stuff on Tombreaver. That's really where OSeal should play into his role. He picks a target and messes them up with the ult. I was actually thinking of making him lose life on attack equal to 25% of the damage dealt with every attack. That way you'd really have to burst attack stuff instead of just constantly losing life with it active.

Yeah. :/
I don't like him being less useful either during VW, but the nature of VW is a bit too crux to his chasing for it to not penalize him somehow. It's definitely tough. Him taking 200% damage in Voidwalk from magickal is a lot. Maybe that kind of weakness really is what's necessary to balance it out. Make him more susceptible to damage instead of weakening his attack. I guess..

Hrm.

Have you totally ruled out the idea of perfect ethereal-ness during VW?

[Rising_Dusk]

What the heck does "perfect ethereal-ness" even mean?

[Cooldood]

Immunity to physical damage and inability to attack - the original wc3 ethereal, minus the loss of movement speed.

Perhaps Magic Damage stuns him for .50 if hes ethereal?

Hm, without a constant life drain? I don't like how cali could just keep the ult active all the time if he takes only damage when he attacks.

[Rising_Dusk]

Well he could do that, but I mean, he would take a substantial amount of damage. 25% of his attacks applies to his secondary hits from multi-attacking, so I mean, you might not want to just leave it on at all times. The bleeder would ameliorate 15% of that, but still, he'd take hits.

Your solution wouldn't really fix that either. (Ruin on attack) Dunno.

That would be silly... Discharge, Heat, Kassar, Upheaval etc. etc. would all just permastun him (or come close to it).

ehro kontest plez!
