About the Talent Rework

Hey everyone, Everpyre here. I've taken it upon me to come up with ideas for new heroes and talent reworks for some of the existing heroes that I feel are too cookie-cutter. This time it's Arthas going on the surgeon's table, and these are my results.

Note that we haven't changed his basic or heroic abilities, or the heroic ability talents. This is because we don't want to change the core theme of Arthas, but we'd rather give him some talent diversity so you can play him in different ways - which is a lot more fun than just picking the same top tier talents all the time.

I want you to know that these numbers are not final, and will be updated once we have crunched the numbers properly. For now these are just ideas that will be worked on in the future. Expect to see changes coming to this in the near future.

You can check out my YouTube channel to hear me and my brother's personal opinions on these talents. Here's a link.

I'd very much like to hear some feedback from you so I can improve these would-be talents, so please leave a comment if you have any ideas!

Thanks for now!

Changelog

V. 1.1

Some talents have been revised.

Level 1
Frostmourne Feeds now also grants you 10% max health at max stacks.

Eternal Hunger no longer resets Frostmourne Hungers' cooldown when killing minions or mercenaries.

Winds of Northrend's cooldown reduction has been reduced to 2 per enemy hero hit (down from 3) stacking up to 6 seconds, and adds a baseline 2 second cooldown reduction.

Plaguebringer now stacks up to 50 times (up from 20) and now grants its secondary effect at 25 stacks (up from 20).


Level 7

Frost Presence no longer causes basic attacks and Frostmourne Hungers to slow enemies, but now causes Frostmourne Hungers to double the effectiveness of Frozen Tempest's slow on the target, and causes Frostmourne Hungers to stun for 1 second on targets hit by Howling Blast.

New version out, the numbers are a bit more balanced this time around. Some talents have been reworked.

For Frostmourne Feeds, why isn't there a "upon reaching [X] stacks..." mechanic? If you're gonna call it a quest talent, it should totally have a mechanic like Plaguebringer does. Something like, "Upon reaching 50 stacks, increase Arthas' maximum health total by 300" or something like that.

Hey guys, have to say that i absolutely love these changes! You've done an amazing job at merging some of these talents and it seems like Arthas would have plenty of talent diversity! I do have a few critiques about this however. The first is about the L1 talent - Plaugebringer. I think it should have the death loss like Kael's Convention aswell, where if you die before getting 20 stacks, you lose them. Also, L1 Eternal Hunger, killing an enemy reduces it's cooldown on enemies? I feel like that should be more only against heroes, so Arthas can't simply clear a wave just using Frostmourne Hungers and get full mana. Anyway, apart from that feedback, i love this :) Keep up the good work guys.

Thanks for commenting! We're making some changes along the line specifically regarding the level 1, level 7 and level 13 talents along with some tuning to most of the talents. No ETA yet, possibly by next week.
