Wizard and Necromancer
Just a couple days ago Blizzard did a teaser for two new champions via twitter. (Seen here)
Most people figured the first one was the female wizard from D3 just based off of the voice acting but the speculation on the second champion was real. We had people guessing Kel'Thuzad, Van Cleef, but also Necromancer which turns out to be correct.
A summary of the interview with Razer done by reddit user /u/TazzDingo
li-ming Diablo 3 Wizard, generally low cooldown, very high skillcap character
Trait: Critical Mass cooldown reduction (RESET?) on kills,
Q: Magic Missiles skillshot, coming out of the side of her, takes time to get used to it
W: Arcane Orb very long range skillshot, explodes, the further it travels the more dmg it does
E: Teleport short distance blink, short cooldown
Ultimate Choice 1: Disintegration Beam from d3, sounds like diablo ult
Ultimate Choice 2: Telekinetic Bomb lots of damage, pushes them around
A lot of talents from Diablo 3: Archon & Diamond skin. Trying to make her close to her D3 equivalent, 3 different builds possible (missile based, orb based, teleport based "all in" build)
Xul - d2 Necromancer is generally a close range character
Trait: Raise Skeletons from dead minions (up to 4, last 15 seconds), very annoying if you skill into it
Q: Spectral Scythe reverse skillshot, creats scythe from you, comes towards Xul, can be manipulated by movement, good lane clear
W: Cursed Strikes (core counter ability?) basic attack becomes Area attack, curses target, reduces attack speed by 50%
E: Bone Prison target ability, click on enemy hero in close range, this hero gets a warning, 2 seconds later he will be rooted for 2 seconds
Ultimate Choice 1: Poison Nova aoe ability, huge amount of damage over time
Ultimate Choice 2: Skeletal Mages creates a wall into distance, slows everybody they hit (but doesn't block movement)
also has an ability on 1-button:
Bone Armor gives you shield and helps you survive when going in
lvl20 upgrade to make Spectral Scythe reduce healing (Mortal Strike inc) !!
I was hoping for Hydra's and Slow Time but am still excited!
Are you guys excited for these new heroes? The Necromancer kind of came out of left field.
