Naisha

Lieutenant of the Watchers


Naisha is a ranged assassin that can fulfill the role of a Basic Attacker or a Mage with ease depending on the talent composition. Her Heroics further translates this as one boosts her Basic Attack capabilities and the other one enhances deeply her basic damage dealing ability. Her only escape mechanism is her Z Moonleap but the high cooldown severely hinders her capability of escaping dives and dedicated chasers. Her talents offer a great range of utilities beyond raw damage such as self healing, tank shredding, a bit of soft CC and PvE

Very Nice.

I feel like your Moonglaive passive should be the active ability though. Causing your next attack to bounce. Your current active seems more like a talent upgrade. The Toss and Moonglaive ability are too similar in my opinion. I would make the Leap an active ability that damages and maybe stuns. Your mount ability is meant to travel and shouldn't be a small leap. Look to the other heroes that have permanent mounts, perhaps don't have a Z ability.

Also Might of the Moon Goddess is a lot of unavoidable damage since basically anyone you damage outside of this ability will be marked. Maybe the toss shouldn't mark. But the Moonglaive ability would still count as a basic attack and will mark.

That would also help clear the confusion about what damage marks by changing the trait description to "basic attacks mark enemies". I could be confused though as it isn't very clear.

Yo, I also was planning to publish Naisha here. The concept seems to be good. However there's one thing that bothers me about Naisha:
She was present in three missions in Watcher's campaign, while in the third one she got killed by crumbling temple.
She wasn't real being that would really matter, she isn't as known as other heroes are. However, nice one :P
