Reasoning

Clearly this character is really OP right now, it's a work in progress. I'm going for a character that is very tanky, moderate damage, has moderate self healing and crowd control while still providing some healing and utility to alles.  Talents have bonuses and drawbacks baked in so you can either increase your damage and tankiness or increase your healing and utility.  Feedback is welcome, but please be positive. Not real good with the numbers and tuning yet, just trying to work out the mechanics.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still kinda new to the game so I didn't know those abilities were copycats. I had considered giving him some sort of Avenging Wrath type move but it didn't fit the theme I was trying to go for. Going to have to think on it some more.

This hero looks more like a Support rather than a Warrior but I like the idea of a hybrid hero who can be either a tank like Warrior or Support. Just like how Kharazim can be a very good melee Assassin or Support depending on your talent choices.

However, I would switch Avenger's Shield and Lay on Hands to something else. Avenger's Shield looks like a downgraded version of Johanna's Blessed Shield and Lay on Hands like a way better and secure Ancestral Spirit and Divine Palm assuming its an instant ability. And even if it wasn't it's still pretty much identical to those two Heroics. I would also change Hammer of the Righteous to something else as well but that's just me.
