I have changed the versatile Visage into a more micro based hero. I would think that he has a high skill cap. With these changes, he is now more of a utility/support hero with still decent capabilities of ganks and teamfights. He can roam or babysit very well. Purify and Sacrifice enables him to be a decent lane support. Ghost Form too is pretty good for escape or chase.
Skill explanations:
Agony is an agressive spell. It amplifies all kinds of damage dealt to the target. It is powerful and scales decently as the game progress as it will amplify damage even from right click carries. Great for ganks and focusing targets.
Ghost Form is powerful and versatile as well. It can be used to tower dive, as towers cant attack you. It can be used for an escape, and it can be used for a quick damage amplification. Keep in mind that the bonus speed, and phase applies to enemies.
Summon Gravekeepers and Summon Wraith scales together like Test of faith or call of the wild (hawk) and call of the wild (boar)
Gravekeeper provides utility, a mana burning nuke and a dispel (not a hard dispel like Dark Pact). The mana burn is pretty decent for Visage if he wants to go mid, or just want to harass. Purify can be used to remove negative debuffs on allies, and can be used to remove positive buffs from enemies.
Wraith has a kill potential and lane support. In lane, he can insta sacrifice to heal the targeted ally. He also has a mediocre slow and nuke, but has a long duration. He can also be great at team ganks. He can help with his nuke, and he can heal tower-diving allies with sacrifice.
I'll leave Summon Familiars as it is.
Agony and Ghost Form has a short duration, and actions must be done quickly before it ends.
It is very vital for Visage to not feed his summons. It has a regular creep bounty, but the cooldown is very long. His spells has very long cooldowns, and Visage should not waste his spells.
Keep in mind that the summons does not have natural mana regen. They would still benefit from regen aura like Ring of Basilius and can be restored by Arcane Boots.
With Agony and Ghost Form used together at an enemy, it would take a bonus 38% magic damage. It is not much considering Ancient Seal and Decrepify, not to mention Ghost Form grants the target the movement buffs and so make it very situational. Ghost Form can be dispelled.
Gravekeepers are squishier than Wraiths.
Summoning Wraith only to heal needs careful timing, because it has a long cooldown.
Once using Cold Blast thrice, Wraith cannot use Sacrifice unless gains mana from outside sources. The same can be said to Gravekeeper's spells.
He is far more difficult than Beastmaster because his summons has an active ability, and he is more like Chen.
The stat changes made him more squishy, but has a better starting armor. However, he has a high movement speed and allows him to escape or gank faster. He also gains an INT buff.
This Visage has a very high skill cap, but with powerful utilities and can dominate the early and mid game. However, his summons are lost it's usefulness in the late game (except familiars, which can split push) and should finish the game quick, just like how Chen is played.
He is very powerful, but has long cooldowns on his spells and is very mana hungry. Due to these, Visage should be careful using his spells because he needs some time to recover if he wasted them. He also has a higher micro level cap now.
oh, and i edited once (like 5 seconds after posted... not a big deal)
i tweaked the duration and cooldown very slightly (1 and 2 seconds kappa)
Edit:and reduced the move speed bonus from Agony
Edit:i returned the duration of Ghost Form, from the previously 4 to 5, its back to 4 again
Editagain: tweaked mana costs, durations, and cooldowns. turns Agony into a static amplification.
Editagain2: removed "greater" from summon wraith description, fixed typo from point target to unit target, and rescale Purify damage to summons
Wulftsan, im done editing. Im so sorry, really. I knew i shouldnt have posted it yet. Its like my everyday life. For example, im going to a plane. But EVERY SINGLE ****ING TIME MY ANUS IS OTCHY AND **** JUST REALLY WANTS TO COME IN. THIS IS BAD:
1. IF I **** I COULD MISS THE PLANE
2. IF I DONT **** I HAVE TO **** IN THE PLANE
this is real. I always worried at this stuffs. This could happen in a doto match too.
Oh, can you delete all the offtopics? But wait a little i want to get some reps from my life story above first.
