I'm not sure about her being a "ranged ambusher" though -- you have her tagged as a Warrior, but everything about her says she wants to be an Assassin.
First, thanks so much for the feedback! I realized after I was done I had it set to Warrior. Never meant it and it wouldn't change it right away. I grew up on WCIII but never really played WOW so this is really the Vashj I know. lol. I'm glad you like it though. :)
She's ranged and has a bow, but her big signature ability, Submerge, wants her to come out next to enemies so she can apply the slow. I guess that's what mana shield is for? I think that cancelling Submerge early should create a wave skillshot that applies the slow effect. Now she doesn't have to get into melee, and Mana Shield still has use because of its interplay with Frost Arrows (in that it makes tension between two abilities that say "dump all your mana into me!"
Still gets my thumbs up.
I had thought of it exactly as you said, that she would be essentially getting into melee and using her shield. I also thought she would be able to sneak around to the enemy's backline, strike those staying too far back or retreating, and use the shield and maybe another submerge to be able to get safely away. That was why I thought ambusher.
You are right though in that it doesn't make sense to have to get into melee range for the slow. I'll take your suggestion and change it.
