Maltheron's Cauterize is still imbalanced

Post by UnholySouls » Sun Jun 22, 2008 1:02 pm

I played Malth two times in row, he is invulnerable unless he gets muted by Parhelios :P

The problem with the "target gets healed for twice as much if suffering from a cond" is the fact that cauterize itself causes a cond: burn. So the first heal will be weak, then the other ones insane. Three heals and most heroes are fully healed.

So these two suggestions are potable:
Either make Cauterize heal for twice as much if the target is suffering from two conditions.
Or make it heal for twice as much if the target is suffering from any condition but burn.

The current cauterize simply emphasizes on spamming it to gain the x2 effect once the first 4 sec burn is on.

I've annihilated him so many times that I attribute this to either your being skilled with the hero or your opponents failing. His inability to remove conditions (And heal the same amount as before), makes him quite fair.

I'm pretty sure this is how dusk intended it to work, and even with the 2x effect, it heals only as much as it did in 1.08b, without the crazy condition purging.

Well Maltheron is the best healer from Bane, and also the best "crowd-controller" of Bane.

I'll try to play a few more games with / against him, but lately I've been yelled at "imba!" many times. On a sidenote people are prompt to yell when they get "denied" a kill because of a last-second-heal :P

Maltheron's good and strong, like he should be, but with his hack and slashed life and so forth, he's very easy to deal with if you can set him up for it. He's just good in a pinch when it's 1v1 and that last cauterize saves his life or something, but past that he crumbles fairly easily.
