Heroes of the Storm Build Concept: Fenix

Combat Trait

Plasma Shield

In addition to his life, Fenix has a plasma shield, shown as his mana bar but functions as any other shield in the game. The shield regenerates slowly in combat, but if he's out of combat for 8 seconds his shield regeneration increases exponentialy.
(His health should be around 70% of that of Muradin pre-avatar while his shield adding additional 40% of that, in total he should have 110% of normal Muradin HP)

Primary Abilities

Charge

Cooldown: 12 seconds
Fenix targets an enemy unit and winds up (for about 0.7 seconds), then immediately charging the enemy unit if it's still in range, dealing 90(+14 per lvl) damage, applying a 0.25 stun and then slowing it by 40% for 2 seconds. During the charge he's unstoppable.

(the charge itself should be really fast and unavoidable, if valla cast her dodge while he began charging it at full distance he'd still catch her mid-vault. He can be interrupted while channeling)

Shield Blast

Cooldown: 16 seconds
Fenix instantly destroys his shield, stunning everyone around him(small AoE - Zeratul's Cleave level) for 1-2 second and doing up to 130(+17 per level) damage, depending on how much shields he had. Over the next 4 seconds, Fenix rapidly restores the full amount of shields this ability destroyed.

(Minimum damage is half - 65(+8.5 per level)

Double Strike

Passive
Every 4 attacks Fenix strikes with both his Psi-blades for 100% additional damage, restoring 40% of the damage dealt as shields.

Active
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Fenix can activate this ability to instantly strike with both of his blades, restoring 80% of the damage dealt as shields. While this ability is on cooldown, the passive doesn't apply.

(His initial auto-attack damage should be fairly low, this ability counts as 2 hits)

Dragoon form: Bombard

Fenix blasts a target area with a few shots of his Plasma Cannon, slowing everyone in the radius by 25% for 3 seconds and dealing 50(+13 per level) damage.

Dragoon Form: Focus Beam

Fenix focuses on one target and starts channeling for up to 2 seconds. When the channel ends or when he cancels the ability he shoots a powerful Plasma Beam towards the target dealing 200(+24 per level) damage to him and everyone around, spreading it evenly to each target(the AoE is visible to enemies, similar to Kael'thas' Pyroblast). The channel time reduces the AoE and he can move while channeling.

(The AoE starts about as big as the old, upgraded Uther Divine Storm and ends up at Pyroblast level)

Dragoon Form: Spin

Fenix jumps forward while spinning, pushing enemies away from him, stunning them briefly(0.25 seconds) and dealing 60(+10 per level) damage.

(The AoE should be around as big as Gazlowe's Laser but not as long)

Heroic Abilities

Immortal Spirit

Cooldown: 60 seconds
Fenix instantly restores all of his shields and overcharges them, making them absorb 60% of the damage taken from any source for the next 6 seconds. His passive, in-combat shield regeneration rate is doubled.

Praetor's Fall

When Fenix dies, his body is ressurected after 3 seconds into a dragoon. He gains a powerful ranged auto-attack and his abilities change. He stays this way for 30 seconds or until he dies.

Note

Most of the ability icons are a placeholder till I get less lazy to look for actually good ones ; 3
Also, this is my first hero concept, I tried to balance it around other tanks but with the twist that most of his tank talents are based around his shields instead of HP. Any criticism is more than welcome

It's a nice start. I had similar ideas for Fenix. Though my idea didn't let him regenerate his shield while in combat. That shield blast thing is a really nice idea, and compensates that he is able to regenerate shield during combat. Though you should state that it won't be usable while he doesnt have a shield up ;)

I thought about that Dragoon thing too, but i found it is too Tyrael or Uther like. But it fits the background how the templar caste and how the zealot society works (being able to become a dragoon, when heavily wounded on the battlefield).

I consider giving up my own ideas and discussing with you how to create a powerful Fenix with somewhat unique abilities that reflect the background of the Protoss.

Good concept! I like it.

The timer would start when he's resurrected(so full 30 seconds) and he'd respawn as a zealot only if he died as a dragoon ; 3

Good concept. I like his passive, it's like a Johanna on steroids. Two questions about the dragon form:
When does the death timer start?
With the lvl. 20 talent, does Fenix respawn when the death timer ends or only when she dies as a dragon?
