"
Antonidas was the leader of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran and teacher to the Archmage Jaina Proudmoore. He was killed by Arthas during the Scourge invasion of Dalaran."
Role: Support. He's not a healer, that is very important. He would be rather a support similar to Tassadar or Tyrande - a hybrid with specialist/assassin.
- he could be built for Magic Barrier, what would make him a support/specialist.
- could be built for mana regeneration of whole team and shielding while Arcane Explosion, what would make him pure support.
- he would be just an Assassin - built for Arcane Blast mostly.
Magic Barrier could seem to be too much OP to be just a primary ability, but it's range isn't very big - it's about 3 times wider than Antonidas himself (a half sphere). Barrier could be also destroyed, and Antonidas needs to channel it so he wouldn't able to make anything else. Think about it like about something similar to Nazeebo's zombie wall.
His abilities are variation of WoW Arcane Mage spells.
Ingame dialogues and hero interactions:
I really love ingame hero dialogues, so I've written some of potential dialogues that Antonidas could say ingame, including interactions with other heroes - those who already are in game, and those who who aren't playable yet, but they are possible to be included into HoTS some day, like Medivh, Archimonde or Deckard Cain.
Antonidas greets Arthas: Greetings, King Arthas. How fares your noble father?
Antonidas kills Arthas: You were nothing but just an usurper.
Antonidas greets Jaina: There is no greater pride for a teacher to see his disciple becoming a master.
Antonidas kills Jaina: Did you forgot my teachings, child?
Antonidas greets Wizard: I find your way of arcane magic really interesting.
Antonidas kills Wizard: Your experimental magic failed you.
Antonidas greets Kel'Thuzad: Letting you live was a huge mistake of Kirin Tor.
Antonidas kills Kel'Thuzad: I hope you shall not return.
Antonidas greets Kael'Thas: Your betrayal saddends me, Kael.
Antonidas kills Kael'thas: You were the last of long lived dynasty.
Andonitas greets Archimonde: As you probably know, my beautiful Dalaran restored its glory.
Antonidas kills Archimonde: That was for Dalaran!
Antonidas greets Deckard: A Horadric Cube? I definitely need to test that curiosity.
Antonidas kills Deckard: Telling stories doesn't make you a hero.
Antonidas greets Medivh: I'm not going to listen your "prophecies" again, you crazed fool.
Antonidas kills Medivh: This is how insane prophets end.
