Discussion:

Skills.

Dark Storm. A strong massive skill which damages in the AOE and randomly stuns an enemy unit. Stun prioritizes heroes to be stunned.

Lunar Tide. Similar to the Night Stalker's third skill. Only activates during the night and this gives him an advantage in battle.

Cold Grip. His cold hands paralyzes his opponents and also stops their healing powers.

Twister. In the Area of effect of twister, those trapped inside will deal great damage. Those who attempt to enter will deal damage and be pushed back. Ranged allies can attack those inside but they have great chance to miss. Blink ,Burrow Strike, Blink Strike are the only skills that can be used to escape. Time Walk and other skills will fail. This applies to allies as well.

Synergies.

Dark Storm+Cold Grip+Twister

Cold Grip+Twister

Cold Grip+Dark Storm

Items.

Early game items should compose of Perceverance,Boots of Speed, and Energy Booster. I also suggest getting at least a Null Talisman to have decent amount of mana.

Perseverance Boots of Speed Energy Booster Null Talisman

Mid game items would primarily be based on increasing Dhatu Ravu's attack and mana pool. I suggest getting a Soul Booster and Crystalis.

Soul Booster Crystalis

Late game items. Aghanim's Scepter is a must to increase the damage done by Twister. Buriza do Kyanon will also be a wise item to keep since ranged characters can attack enemies inside the Twister. Monkey King Bar is also a must have item. Aegis Divine build for him ain't that bad too....

Aghanim`s Scepter Buriza-do Kyanon Monkey King Bar Aegis of the Immortal Divine Rapier

Hero Alliances.

Enigma. Twister and Black Hole is a good skill combination.

Sand King. Twister and Epicenter..... hahahahahahaha.

Anti Mage. Blink inside Twister and attack all those unfortunate souls inside.

Hero Annoyances.

Anti Mage and Queen of Pain. Blinkers can avoid ultimate easily.

Sand King. This is a dangerous foe to fight.

hmmm, well the first thing that pops out to me is the Lunar Tide, it gives your hero %70 attack speed. The attackspeed to me is a bit off base considering your hero is a INT based hero and relys on spells. However its your hero, but I think it the attack speed needs to be exchanged for hp regen. And if there were a NS on your team, this thing would permantely be on. I think he is imba, but I like the hero idea.

2 By Ae]Sprite 2007-03-13

Hmm, this hero is kinda bad fix like that Lunar Tide thing and maybe increse the damages.

3 By Dimnot4leash 2007-03-13

Ur third skill is the regen affected by stats increasing stuff like bracers or stuff? Or jus things that say +? health regen items?

4 By Shimrra_3 2007-03-14

This is awesome for a start, but clarify some things for me (and others I imagine). Lunar Tide - is that a bonus to attack DAMAGE or attack SPEED? I was thinking about the chance to miss but I see now that means YOUR allies, which explains why it gets lower (the chance to miss attacks makes this less imba, very good). IMBA: Lunar Tide attack bonus (whichever part it means, 70% is too much). IMBA: Cold Grip duration. IMBA mana cost of lvl3 ultimate; this should be high, mana cost from lvl3-4 doesn't usually change with Sceptre (sometimes its lower, BTW I dunno for sure on this bit); suggest 200/400/600 or something. The Ultimate is very powerful... ah yeah. The 2 second casting time. I think this is very good, much better with some changes and fixes. I'll rate later.

1st skill - no one seems to say it's imba ..... good
2nd skill - Attack Damage .....It's not an aura so i didn't think lunar tide woud be imba..... hmmmmmmmmmm ......
3rd skill - how bout just increase the cooldown to 60 seconds to make it more balanced?????
4th skill - i know buying aghanims would increase mana cost of skill.....
any more comments plz????

6 By raz 2007-03-14

70% increase in attack damage for the whole night?!?! and that is not imba?!?!BS Bloodrage is 80% and that is short term(plus can't cast skills or spells) I think that is way overpowering. Once again with a NS you would have 70% attack damage for long periods of time.

7 By hiromico 2007-03-14

ok.. what do u suggest then?

8 By R2 2007-03-15

Okay hiromico, my 2 cents. I like Dark Storm and Twister, though at first glance Twister looks abit weak at low levels.

Here's what i disagree- Lunar Tide's 70% increased attack is way too strong, and like raz said, INT hero with passive +aspd looks kinda weird. How about adding a bonus% to spell damage instead?

A final word- as an INT hero, this hero is very hard to play based on the fact his quickest cooldown spell is the 30-second Dark Storm. So what is he going to do during other times? Wait for night to get that super aspd boost? Erm.. I'll rate later too if u dont mind

Interesting

10 By hiromico 2007-03-16

Thx for all your suggestions....
2nd skill** nerfed it and changed effects.
3rd skill** nerfed cooldown

Your comments mean a lot guys.... keep on critizing me.....

11 By Flame_Cro 2007-03-16

nice made hero man.Very good idea.

12 By IchirakuRamen 2007-03-16

to this would be kinda imba with ns on your team, but it seems balanced kind of, oh well, no way to tell exactly

13 By IchirakuRamen 2007-03-16

Yeah, it would seem like a good hero, could always use some more human heroes for DotA.

14 By KillahKwon7 2007-03-21

very gay

15 By R2 2007-03-22

IMHO Lunar Tide and Cold Grip still look weak. I like skill 1 and the ulti though.

16 By Firesky 2007-03-22

lunar tide should be an ultimate. cold grip is imbalanced completely o 30 secs of no regen ... at all hmm with lunar tide 20% cooldown reduce hmm its 40 secs. 10 secs after it wears off he can use it again think about him again u should have kept ur atk damage one on tide this is an imbalance u added not a nerf cold grips nerf is still not enogh... think again and redo him

17 By hiromico 2007-03-23

its only during the night... the cool down is lowered.... u should have seen his lunar tide before i nerfed it....

18 By hjcomighud 2007-04-11

all his skills are only for group fighting the cooldown time its ultimate at lvl3 is to short its effect is very nice but its cooldown time is to short

19 By AXCELACCEL 2007-10-30

cool

20 By Cloudzstrife 2007-12-08
