I tried and failed to come up with stuff for Lhykosidae... So, I did this.

--

Baharroth, the Cry of the Wind

STR (Focus) 20 + 1.8
AGI (Primary) 26 + 2.4
~~INT~~ 18 + 1.5

Story

Baharroth is the oldest of the Swooping Hawks, the first of the winged Exarchs, and the founder of the Warrior Path that is represented today by the Swooping Hawks shrines throughout the craftworlds. He was the most vibrant and youthful of the Phoenix Lords, revelling in the sensation of the sun on his wings. Since learning the arts of war from Asurmen himself, Baharroth has been reborn many times. Innumerable battlefields have felt his anger. Countless foes have fallen before his might. Baharroth means the Cry of the Wind, for he is the master of flight and though he moves with the subtlety of a zephyr he attacks with the force of a hurricane.

Deals dmg equal to 25/40/55/70 + 10xSTR to target unit on landing.[i][u]

That is WAY too high. Same with the +Str on the ult.

Not to mention your ult deals like 2000+ damage.

Real critique later.

by **DeusMechanicus** Sat Oct 24, 2009 10:25 am

I've never claimed to be good with numbers. LoL. Not to mention I was on the verge of passing out when I made him.

As with all my other builds, the numbers are mostly just random figures I throw in so I don't have to type the ABC's.

EDIT: Lowered them both. Now comments on the build and not how bad my math sucks?

by **Grass Hopper** Sat Oct 24, 2009 12:57 pm

you say hes fragile but give him str as the focus stat Razz

other than that, holy shit blinks Razz

hes gona be sooo annoying to fight XD

by **DeusMechanicus** Sat Oct 24, 2009 1:29 pm

Well, he isn't a psyker, so INT as primary or focus doesn't make sense.. In fluff he's fast and hits hard, so AGI and STR.

by **Glycine** Sat Oct 24, 2009 3:09 pm

He might be too maneuverable as a hero. He has the capablity to jump 5400 distance if he uses all his skills. How big is the map? xD

Innate is fine, so is Talon.

What's the point of limiting the distance at which the skill can be used?

by **Grass Hopper** Sat Oct 24, 2009 3:32 pm

yes, but hes not very ffragile if he has a high str gain Razz

plus the fact that he has 4 blinks out of 5 skills

by **DeusMechanicus** Sat Oct 24, 2009 6:10 pm

I didn't mean it like natural large gain, I meant like that's what items (other than AGI) a person would need to get to make him effective. Anyway, I guess you could hop across the map ... but then you'd land and be there waiting for CDs.

by **Grass Hopper** Sat Oct 24, 2009 6:15 pm

ohh

ok
when i see str (focus) agi (main)
i assume something like:
str: 21 + 2.4
agi: 24 + 1.8 <-
int: 16 + 1.7
kinda thing going on

by **DeusMechanicus** Sat Oct 24, 2009 6:17 pm

I was thinking more like if you swapped the STR and AGI lvl gain numbers.

by **Grass Hopper** Sat Oct 24, 2009 6:19 pm

ah kk

also! death from above, i suggest you make it passive, and rename it to grenade pack or something... or toggle to swtich between which type of nade he drops..

etiehr way, it will cut down on the insane amount of blinks he has Razz

and also cut down his mana intensivess...
something like:
whenever baharoth travels more than 150 distance in X seconds, he drops a grenade at his location dealing X damage. Plasma causes targets to miss, haywire slows by X

by **DeusMechanicus** Sat Oct 24, 2009 8:36 pm

Changed it to Passive. But I like the name "Death from Above".

Oh, Model and Wings..

If you could mak him less ... golden. That'd be cool, but I like the model.
Pretty sure those're the same wings you use for the Swooping Hawk Wings already. So... yeah..

by **Grass Hopper** Sat Oct 24, 2009 9:05 pm

heh, yeah those are the wings i already use... i just need a link to the actual model Razz

and i can recolor the skin

by **DeusMechanicus** Sat Oct 24, 2009 11:03 pm

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Anyway, I found another model that looks kind of Tau-ish.
Don't know if we have a Tau hero in need a model ... but it looks cool.

EDIT: Looking at that 'Mantis' model, it's a pretty big file... I'm going to look for a smaller one.

by **Grass Hopper** Sun Oct 25, 2009 6:54 pm

heh, yeah XD dont wanna give away 1/4 of the remaining map space to one hero model Razz

by **DeusMechanicus** Mon Oct 26, 2009 5:13 am

Not that it matters, this hero will probably never make it in anyway. ><

by **Grass Hopper** Mon Oct 26, 2009 12:09 pm

why do you say that Razz

you forget my natual biased towards eldar XD

by **Grass Hopper** Thu Oct 29, 2009 12:36 pm

is this done deus?

by **DeusMechanicus** Thu Oct 29, 2009 5:50 pm

Except for Mana costs and cooldowns ... yes.

by **Glycine** Thu Feb 11, 2010 2:23 pm

Needs mana costs and cooldowns, but otherwise can go into the game with testing.

As for the build...

holyshithesaganker.

But really. His movement speed will give him great pressing ability, along with a ranged weapon, and he's very jumpy.
He has a nice blend of burst and stat-tempered damage and I see lots of potential.

by **Grass Hopper** Thu Feb 11, 2010 5:01 pm

and hes eldar, so he instantly gets a yes vote ^^

by **Glycine** Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:26 pm

I'd say he's complete. If Deus manages to get around and fill in mana and cooldown values for all his heroes, they're done. Or shall we do that? xD

by **Grass Hopper** Tue Jun 22, 2010 1:19 pm

look over my suggested manacosts / cooldowns

by **Glycine** Tue Jun 22, 2010 4:20 pm

Made a few changes of my own in the opening topic, so take a look. I mostly increased cooldowns and mana costs to compensate.
