ABILITIES: STANCES

F: Change stance

G: Change stance

So you might be wondering why i started at abilities 5 and 6. they are just stance changers. Ok stances are combat styles that this hero uses. Each stance has own ability set. These '3' ablities are learned already (Like stone remanats from Earth Spirit). When you change stance all buffs that you had are purged (Note: all debuffs will still be on you only 'positive' effects will be removed and aura items that you carry will be reapplied after you change stance). When you spawn you start in Stance of the Tiger.

Stance change cooldown: 80 sec

Somewhere in the wialling mountains lies Arin Monastary. a place only menitined in books and legends. There fameus Arian monks train in 3 stances but all but one now or are masters of just one of stances. Zar-Hao also known as Elder ariam monk. He is the only one that mastered all 3 stances and all who knew him said it is such honor. But one day the moestary was attacked and what that defeated the monastary were numbers. hordes of enemies seeking to destroy these sacred grounds. they fought until only one survivor remained: Zar-Hao. Now he wanders trought the world helping anyone that seeks help and gudiance.

Okay we have finnaly come to an end i hope you enyoed my looooooong idea it probably need quite a lot of 'pro' balancing,sorry for typewriting mistakes,goodbye and till next time!

Hi there! There are no such things as mistakes in hero creation.

Maybe you should check out Pory, Yzreel, or my ideas to check out some formatting ideas. Because your ideas are really good, but not very nicely formatted.

See Dr. D's guide to formatting if you want to learn more!

thanks man i will check them

These are my suggestions to your hero:

-in stance of the tiger, could you add a radius so I know in how wide an area the damage is being applied. Also, is the 600 damage at max level being applied to every unit in the area, or if there are multiple units, does the damage get divided between them. One more thing about it, since it's channeled, will a stun interrupt it?

-on stance of the ox, 170, mana cost for only 320 damage block is way to much. Look at ember's flame guard. And that even does damage over time.

-no cool down written on stance of the ox ulti. Also, if you use an ult in one stance, are all others put on cool down, or can you use each of them in succession?

-on cleanse, 180 mana cost to purge debuffs is too much. I suggest something like 50/55/60/65

-during zen meditation, I would perhaps add that it makes him spell immune. It would be way to easy to interrupt it and then you just wasted a ton of mana... And it would happen every time.

-the duration progression on dispel magic is odd and makes the last point three times more valuable. I personal,y don't like that, so I would change it to either 5/6/7 or 5/7/9

-this hero needs a lot of mana to be able to use his abilities in good ways, and also since he has so many of them which only seem worth when used together to create insane burst. As such, I would like it if he had slightly more mana to start with.

That sone terrible grammar mistake lol ( strength, :p )
