Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
well, it makes sense for the points to be in the innate, because its useless unless u learn the first skill, which is always bad design

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
It should be useless, imagine having a innate like that at the start of the game = Kill everyone.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
balance wise: no, it wouldnt be imba, unless it triggers when your alone with an enemy.
design wise: its bad to have a skill that does nothing by itself

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Well, for his innate if you kill a hero, you get maxed out 'p' for a short amount of time?

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
What else does this hero need? I put a semi-points system into the innate, maybe it should be from a kill only, not just with his innate, check out the small edit.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
i really like this idea but maybe instead of it being a set amount of dmg per second make it scale so like do his str in dmg per second also if someone dosnt learn the first skill what hapens when they try and use the third one
also on the third skill i dont think it is as op as people think it would need to be play tested because ud have to save up a bunch of points and its channeling

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
The third skill your talking about is the drain right? Its not channeling, its sort of like farseers mind war, and it does not require 'p' to use

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Before this hero even gets charted to be coded, all the skills need lots and lots of explanation behind them. There are so many questions I have about the mechanics of the hero. The idea behind the skills are fine, except for skill 2, but it needs more elaboration.
I'll edit this post with my comments, so keep an eye on it.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
innate: when attacked, he gains a point, when a spell is cast on him, he gains 2.
when he gains full points, his attack orders are changed into blink strikes for a duration
(this is my own little change)
skill one: target nuke that deals damage and stun based on how many points stored
skill two: for each point, he gains X damage, and takes X less damage
three: mindwar like spell, deals damage and slow based on how many points
ult: isnt easily codable XD

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
One could put a measure on the health of the hero that passively notes health decreases. When the ult is used, the skill would retrieve the amount of damage done in the last 3/4/5 seconds and do it?
Third skill has too much damage. The point recovery might be a little much as well, since a level 4 can recover his points just like that.
Isn't it odd that we give him flat damage reduction, like Fuegan, except he had less damage reduction? Needs to be toned down.
The damage on the nuke is outrageous, while the stun duration is fine.
When he gains maximum points and blink strikes, does he still have max points after he finishes striking?

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
ult: i would have to track the damage of every unit on the map. which is wayy to much and would prolly slow down performance.
now if it worked like maladict from dota, then thats alot more possible
(takes additional damage for damage taken over the duration)
so make it deal the damage after the 3/4/5 seconds, instead of damage taken in the previous 3/4/5 seconds.
three: is it numbers? cause i dont think he should gain points for that skill, only spend them
two: damage reduction needs to be toned down yes, numbers
one: damage can be reduced, numbers
innate: i would assume he keeps points, or he looses x points.

Make it only usable on heroes, for the ult?
Lots of number changes, but who's doing them? xD

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Well nuke damage isent too silly, keeping in mind that he needs points to make it hurt, and a higher level to deal more damage.
His damage-keep-away skill can be nerfed, say the more damage/pain he takes, (stacks) the less overrall damage he takes?
ult could be like voids ultimate, *time freeze -/- then reversed, victims hp stays the same but takes damage as per before and then during.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Oh and btw the damage block does not need to be toned down, seeing how this hero revolves around being damaged, so the player would be constantly putting this hero into harms way.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
I'm not sure I like the name all that much. Wouldn't Azrael or something like that work just as well?

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Idk, just as long as its a chunky name that fits his gamestyle. In many languages 'el' means 'the' and I took 'Brukael' as a form of daemon 'eat' or 'consume'.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Well, it just sounds like he's more of a hispanic cook as opposed to a horrible, planet slaughtering demon. >_>
Would "The Devourer" suffice?

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Fully remade. I've taken into account your suggestion Walder
This hero is now known as The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
No skills should be remmade from now. Permission to change to complete?

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
How is someone born in the Warp .. ? Pure Immaterium is insta-death (or horrible mutation) for any mortal who even briefly touches it, unless you're taken onto a Daemon World. Even if it were possible, furies would've devoured the Devourer (Ha, pun), if not himself becoming one (Furies are souls that get lost in the Warp, unclaimed by any Chaos God).

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
There are many things about Chaos that dont make sense Dues
For all we know, the Devourer could have been sired by a Daemon, or imbued with dark magics by a Chaos Sorceror, or even both. For all we know, he could have been born in the Warp, and immediately taken out. Eg. Mother births child as she is being pulled into the warp, then said daemon/sorceror/whatever saves the child. Like you said, touching immaterium would kill or mutate. Lets just say The Devourer was mutated, and was sustained by unknown chaos forces. Perhaps the Chaos Gods wanted a worthy Chaos Commander to continue Eliphas' conquest, and personnaly saw to it that The Devourer survived. Or like I said before, about being sired by a Daemon, perhaps his innate ability to endure pain pushed The Devourer to impossible limits of suffering etc etc...
Like the Obliterator Virus, we dont know how it happens, but we know it happens, so we just accept it.

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
Only Chaos God that would bother to save a child would be Tzeentch, and it would be just another pawn in his galactic, history-of-the-universe spanning plot to achieve ... something ... that only he knows. Unless Slaanesh wanted to ... ewww ... nevermind, not going there. Anyway, about Eliphas ... he's currently in Abaddon's torture chamber ... and he's known as The Inheritor because of the Ninth Inheritance, which has something to do with the cabal on Kronus that summoned him ... eight sacrifices, or something, not sure. Anyway they already have successors, the remaining Dark Apostles (including Erebus, the "spiritual advisor" of Horus).

Re: [Incomplete] The Devourer, Flame of the Warp.
I thought Eliphas was destroyed by a Daemon of some sort for his failure on Kronus... >_>
Anyway all that doesn't include other ungodlike-deitys, and sure there are other successors, but it being "unofficial" means that others are always viable. Its just undirectly saying that this guy is nasty enough for that role. He'll probably either become a Chaos champion of some description, most probably for Chaos Undivided.
He is also more Daemon than man. (Obviously for he is listed under chaos daemons) He'll either end up as a right-hand daemon, or just rampage through the galaxy to hunt for Chaos Artifacts for personal gain, or just chillout on Torvendis. He could also challenge Sh'Karr for dominance of that Daemon world. Who knows man, fluff is good stuff. Use your imagination
