SKIN IDEAS

Captain Vanessa. (Maybe with a murloc on her shoulder)
The energy system sounds nice, but it doesn't let Vanessa use her abilities enough. Using fury of the defias brotherhood and then using a 20 energy ability means she cannot use another ability for 20 seconds, which is a lot. Maybe amping up her energy regen, or giving her some way to get energy back, such as being healed giving her some energy, being out of combat making her regen faster, etc.
I think it depends on the enemy hero. If he cane decide who is the decoy who is the real one then it wont be overpower. Of course with the level 20 talent it becomes a little harder. I believe that both heroic abilities balance its other out. The elixir might be overpowered but it affects only one player. On the other hand the fury of the defias brotheood does aoe damage and calls some speial minions.
I love the new Heroic, Nightmare Elixir, and think it looks cool. The only thing I'm a little worried about is whether this Heroic is too good compared to Fury of the Defias Brotherhood. It may even be overpowered. But, I don't know. The only way to really see whether a Heroic or hero in general is overpowered is to play and test out that Heroic. That is if Blizzard ever bothered to make a hero out of Vanessa which I bet they won't but whatever.
Thank you for your response mate. I changed the relentless to what you suggested about the black mamba poison.
The reason why i used MULE and promote and is because it might not suit an assasin but it suits Vanessa. She is the leader of a brothehood/clan. She takes care of them and protects them a.k.a MULE. Also she inspires them with her leadership and skills a.k.a promote. I think the addition of these two talents i combine both the assassin aspect of Vanessa and Vanessa herself
The ability talents look alright. However, there are some talents that I don't think are quite suitable for an Assassin hero. MULE is a talent that is more fit for Supports and Specialists. Promote is also a talent more suitable for Specialists who are good at pushing lanes. Relentless is simply pointless I think because I don't even think that this game recognizes if a hero is in combat or not like WoW does. And even if it does the heroes will be in combat like 90% of the time so that is so essential that it should not even be a talent. The rest look fine.
That Elixir of Madness is brilliant in my opinion and I would love to see it as its own tweaked Heroic rather than a lvl 20 talent.
[Edit]: Which you apparently just did! That's more like it! Love it. Too bad that I'm sure she won't ever see the light of day in the Nexus but the idea is great regardless and I wish Blizzard will give a similar heroic like that to some other hero.
