Medivh - The Last Guardian

Medivh - The Last Guardian

Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 11:53 am

Name: Magna Medivh
Movespeed: 280
Hp: 378 Mana: 299
Range: 550 Damage 42-49 Speed: 1.6
STR: 12 + 1.5
AGI: 19 + 1.7
INT: 23 + 2.3 (Main)


Model: The Medivh model from campaign mode (brown cloaked mage with the staff with a football-like head)

Abilities:

1) Power of the Guardian: Medivh's ability to protect Azeroth through the powers of magic grant him increased mana regeneration for himself and his allies.

Rank 1: .9 Brilliance Aura
Rank 2: 1.8 Brilliance Aura
Rank 3: 2.7 Brilliance Aura
Rank 4: 3.6 Brilliance Aura

Notes: This is a rather standard skill, however the mana regen aura is a bit bigger than normal because he is mainly a large mana user. This is to bolster than need and also counters some part of being a squishier than most.

2) Keeper of Secrets: Medivh silences or interrupts any spell for 4 seconds. The further away, the shorter the silence lasts.

Rank 1: Range of 150, 300 for half duration
Rank 2: Range of 200, 400 for half duration
Rank 3: Range of 250, 500 for half duration
Rank 4: Range of 300, 600 for half duration

Mana Cost: 40/60/80/100
Cooldown: 30/25/20/15

Notes: This is mainly a support skill to counter things like Death Ward and Freezing Field. Rather than disable for an excessive amount of time over an area like Drow Ranger, this is mean to be a quick cast to stop ultimates or save allies. The cooldown is rather low at maximum ranks, but at the max range it would be only useful to harass with a 1 second silence at a cost of 100 mana. A bit too much to spam, but enough to help annoy would-be attackers if you have allies nearby. Loses ability to attack and cast spells for this time.

3: Ateish: Ateish's head is possessed by a powerful spirit. Grants a percentage of base damage as chaos damage (orb effect, autocast)

Rank 1: 5% base damage is added in chaos damage
Rank 2: 10% base damage is added in chaos damage
Rank 3: 15% base damage is added in chaos damage
Rank 4: 20% base damage is added in chaos damage

Mana Cost: 20/40/60/80
Cooldown: 10/7/3/0

Notes: Replaced Raven's Flight to give him more pull during a fight rather than an escape spell. This is probably going to be changed to 5/10/15/20% converted rather than added.


4: (ULTIMATE) Wrath of Sargeras: Medivh summons the power of the evil god to send a wave of destruction raining down upon his foes. Damage is calculated equal to a percentage of his intelligence. However, there is only so much power he is willing to unleash. Damage type is Chaos.(x)
Rank 1: 100 AoE Wave, 90 Base damage + 1x, Damage maximum of 500
Rank 2: 150 AoE Wave, 180 Base damage + 2x, Damage maximum of 750
Rank 3: 200 AoE Wave, 270 Base damage + 3x, Damage maximum of 1000
Rank 4:(Scepter) 250 AoE Wave, 360 Base Damage + 4x, Damage maximum of 1250

Mana Cost: 400/500/600
Cooldown: 180/120/60

(With the scepter I am at cross purposes. I either wish to have the damage cap removed or go with a 4th level. The 4th level seems more balanced.)
========================Old Data=============================
3: Raven's Flight: Medivh has the inate ability to turn into a raven for quick travel, be it to deliver warnings of doom or flee a futile situation. (Purgeable)

Rank 1: Raven Form, grants +200 movement speed and Flight for 4 seconds, 3 sec cast.
Rank 2: Raven Form, grants +200 movement speed and Flight for 4 seconds, 2 sec cast.
Rank 3: Raven Form, grants +200 movement speed and Flight for 4 seconds, 1 sec cast.
Rank 4: Raven Form, grants +200 movement speed and Flight for 4 seconds, 0 sec cast.


Mana Cost: 250/300/350/400
Cooldown: 120/100/80/60

Notes: This spell is a real life saver if you need to book it from a lane thats getting pushed hard. The mana cost is a real drainer at max level so watch your pool if you need to leave quick. You might not get your way out if you don't take care of your casting! Loses ability to attack and cast spells for the duration of this form.


4: (ULTIMATE) Might of Sargeras: Medivh was possessed by the evil god Sargeras when he was still in the womb. He taps into this power for a brief period at the cost of ALL his remaining mana and 20% of his maximum health. This transformation is a drain on Medivh, and causes him to be stunned for 2 seconds after the spell fades.

Rank 1: Increases base damage by 200, grants a fire attack, attack speed increased by 100, lasts 3 seconds, 20% damage reduction.
Rank 2: Increases base damage by 200, grants a frost(slow) attack, attack speed increased by 100, lasts 4 seconds, 40% damage reduction
Rank 3: Increases base damage by 200, grants a chaos attack, attack speed increased by 100, lasts 5 seconds, 60% damage reduction.

Mana Cost: All with 20% Max Health
Cooldown: 180

Notes: This may seem like an insanely overpowered attack but it is meant for the final push rather than wanton destruction. This spell will make you a beast of an attacker for 5 seconds but it will severely hurt you because once your steroid-spell is up, you have no mana, 20% LESS hp than your max, and your 60% reduction goes bye-bye. You're a target unless you can instantly regenerate 450 mana to get out of the zone with raven form. Arcane Ring only gives 135 mana so your teammates all need one if you're gonna use that solution out of this problem. Plus being stunned for 2 seconds is prime target material for anyone. Or go kill Uber-Roshan and get some cheese.

Final Thoughts: Medivh doens't really have a "nuke" spell because he is a carry hero. The Ultimate is very "I guess..." IMBA only if you're unlucky enough to be near him when he uses it. The silence ability drains mana heavily if you spam it enough and the Raven Form is like Wind Walk. It's a "gg ima gtfo" skill rather than meant for heavy ganking. The Ultimate screws over the user in that he can't really move after it's up with the stun, and at the same time it's a good skill for Medivh because of Lore.

Okay, here it goes.

Make sure you include attack speed at the start because it says speed = 1.6 wtf? Reasonable STR AGI INT. MS, slow.
Skillz
1. no need change. Passive or active?, include cooldown and manacost
2. kinda retarded, how would you know if someone is going to use a spell? is it you put the effect on the guy until he uses a spell? okay.. now the silencing part is very specefic. if you are 300 yardz away it's full silence, but if it's 600 yardz away it's half silence. what about 599 yard silence, is it still full silence?
3. wtf no point of wasting 300-450 mana on going +200 yards per second. Increase yards per lvl and time.
4. lol wierd description. 200+ damage?!? that's almost divine rapier! what if this hero gotten 100% attack speed, and got 200+ damage, that's 400-500 damage per second ( depending on base attack speed ) . grants a fire/frost/chaos attack, umm is this for the base damage framework? or is this added as another spell, or does it replace the ulti-icon?

sorry for sentence structure but, you need to improve. Umm, do what I said then it will be appropriate.

Sentence structure due to NOT ENOUGH TIME I G2G!
nice tho

Don't see how it's a weird description for ult because that IS what happened. He was possessed by Sargeras when his mother "destroyed" him(Sargeras). No offense but I don't think you have much pull if you have 11 posts with a join date of 7 days ago. Not questioning skill as a player, only as what I see from the forums. I did have about an hour and a half to type that character out and had to finish up quick at one point but don't bash the silence skill with "kinda retarded." Brilliance Aura can sort of go without saying that it's passive. On the silence spell, it's meant to stop channelers and auto-casters. Drow and Obsidian both have very destructive auto-cast skills. Silencer and Clinkz have very damaging auto-casts to any unit. The raven form is meant to get out quickly. It's duration is probably the only thing that should be increased I suppose or make them all instant cast. The ultimate taps into the -EVIL GOD's- power which lays within him. He was corrupted by him and his powers were unleashed when Medivh was about early 20's. Read warcraft lore and it will verify it. www.wowwiki.com and look up Medivh. The fire/frost/chaos attacks do not change the base attacks out of ultimate form. They only are transformed for it's duration. The ultimate is rather balanced in my opinion because you get about 5 seconds of insane damage with 60% damage reduction but you're not immune to silences or stuns. After 5 seconds you're a sitting duck! 2 seconds of stun and you have 0(ZERO) mana. You can't fly away, you can't silence enemies, and you can't ultimate for another 3 minutes. PLUS: Do the math. If you accumulate 2000 HP, you're paying ALL your mana PLUS 400 hp to activate it. Even if you have the 60% damage reduction, you get hit with Laguna Blade for 1200 still. 60% damage applies to physical, not spell damage. Lina can come out of nowhere and 1 shot you if you drop this ultimate. And that's not only her. Lich can get you with a double bounce from CF, Silencer can throw up his DoT silence on you and Axe can destroy you if you are low enough. Once the ult fades then you're gonna get GG'd by ANY HERO on the map.

strangely i think the ulti is underbalanced since u can easily b disabled for the duration and then have to face being stunned for 2 seconds without any mana and a chunk of ure HP! maybe u shud make him immune to spells when d ulti is activated.... an euls or a guinsoo cud screw dis hero pretty bad otherwise....!

Well I feel that if I made him immune to all spells that would make him too imba when in ult form. It would be run or die for any heros near him. I just had an idea and I'm going to edit the ult now. Rather than a transformation the ult will be a spell.

Medivh now can be called a carry nuker. His aura makes up for his insane mana costs.

Change Log:
2/8/08: Keeper of Secrets: The silence effect now stops attacks for it's duration.
Raven Form: Mana cost reduced, added inability to cast spells or attack.
Wrath of Sargeras: Replaced Might of Sargeras due to balance issues for power/survivability vs. spells and disable effects.

2/9/08: Raven's Flight removed, replaced with orb effect auto-castable Ateish spell.
Keeper of Secrets: Duration lengthened, no other changes.
Stat gains: increased agl and str by .2 and .1 respectively, reduced int by .1. Movespeed increased by 40.


Update: Just did a quick calculation with the ideal item set.
Eye of Skadi + Linken's Sphere + Eul's + Guinsoo's + Ag Scepter = 121 int + 20 from stats + 80 from base gains * 5.5 for max level w/ scepter damage would be almost 1600 in an AoE wave. This IMO would be a tad imba since not even Lina hits that hard with a 1-target ult shot. If they had amp damage and orchid on them it would be possible to get up that much if lina had a styg deso orb.

eeeeerrrrrrrrrhhhh.

Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:55 pm

Magna?

Movespeed? slowpoke
Stat Gain is low... look for hero examples

1st skill, ok, you waste mana bcoz of your skills, tell, me what of your skills, do you think you're gonna spam?
SILENCE? no way, ESCAPE BIRD? certainly not, ULTIMATE? MAYBE, but has a long cooldown, so i'd have to say, this skill is not worth it.. CHANGE this

2nd skill, silence is great, keep this one, i'd have to say increase the effects by 4 seconds when near, 2 seconds when far.

3rd skill, ok like a mega weaker version of Shukuchi, with no damage, fixed speed bonus, and a whopping mana cost of 400? is this an ultimate for it to cost that much? and lasts only for 4 seconds? WEAK, buff this or change it..

Ultimate, any AOE chaos damage is IMBA.. there's no need for a reason to say this is too strong.. I mean name a hero who deals this much damage in AOE?huh.. you tell me..

I'm currently working on him on my own, but running into problems.

How do you set a unit to be a hero unit? I have his avatar and picked a sound file for him, modified the values for basic stats, damage, speed and attack speed but can't find anything else.

To set a unit to be a hero, just get one of the preset Warcraft 3 heroes and change model file under art section. From there, every model will be available for you to choose from. Good Luck!
