I Will make minions if i get support.

[Zen1400]

Seems nice, but the ult is going to be a problem since detonate (If I remember correctly) removes blight.

[CapnMelonHead]

Damn.
Maybe it can be a hidden secret, like detonate doesn't tell you it removes debuffs.

EDIT: or the ability could create that blight every 1 second or so in case of someone removing it?

[RuNm]

Seems pretty good, would like to see the minions however too, is ? ? ? the name of the Titan or are you looking for one?

[iC0ckBlock]

How much damage does Blight do to builders? Is it enough to kill them (300 hp) in the 30 second duration? If so, couldn't you just stand outside the base, blight, then burrow, or something like that? Or is 2k too small a range to do that?

[CapnMelonHead]

@RuNm: I'm looking for a good titan name. Any suggestions?

@iC0ckBlock : I never thought of that. Maybe it shouldn't do damage per second.

[RuNm]

Well considering its a skeletal mage maybe Skeletorus? Kinda like Skeletor from the old He-Man cartoons 

[CapnMelonHead]

lol.
I'll put that for now, but if I get any other suggestions, I might consider changing it.

[MuDDy_PaNDa]

blight could look like a beacon, like waves of it.
Kind of like a radr or a stargate or w/e u want.

[Coaster_Man]

lol SKELETOR!
Yeah I really like this idea, easy to read (i love your you organized it & the colours).
Some questions: Will the minions have ray of suffering?
Isn't the heal a bit strong? I mean like if you stack tridents you are getting huge heal from your damage when the titan is high level.
The scout seems kind of op, I mean you could just get webbed feet/wotw, use the scout, follow it around and fine the first builder's location easily.

[CapnMelonHead]

Using the tables to Organize everything was kinda stolen from http://www.islanddefense.org/forum/index.php/topic,1508.0.html.

The heal is probably too strong but i just judged it on nuking workers. If you were to nuke maybe 15 Workers on 200 health and deal 76 Damage on each (With the 50% Magic resistance applied.), it works out to be 1140 Damage. With the 110% heal, it works out to heal around 1254 health. It works out a pretty good. But when attacking, it may be too much, i don't know how to work that one out. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I didn't really think of that, and i have many suggestions:
1. The scout is really slow.
2. He can walk through units and not buildings with the base size of 2x2.
3. It is learned on a higher level.
4. It doesn't last as long.
5. It isn't invisible.
Which 1 do you think works better?

[SgtWaffles]

Melon, im a fan.
Skeletorus is decent i guess ... i can have a look for you. i love the idea of the scout, ithink its very cool
The heal does need some tweak, but other than that a good idea

[SgtWaffles]

ok melon i had a look on google (<3 google)
and i found a few ideas, you could whack an 'ous' on the end of one of these and your away?? (NOTE: all these words mean torture in latin)

cruciatus, cruciamentum, tormen, tormina, excrucio, carnificina, torqueo


torqueous or something i feel sounds cool, but hey, whatever floats your boat

[iC0ckBlock]

1. The scout is really slow.

Defeats the purpose, if it's slow, it won't reveal anything.

2. He can walk through units and not buildings with the base size of 2x2.

Defeats the purpose, can't go through seeds, and it seems like it's meant for following.

3. It is learned on a higher level.

Possible, but still seems wrong.

4. It doesn't last as long.

I honestly like this idea. Perhaps 45 seconds. Long enough to reveal someone, but short enough that it can't get them nuked four times unless the titan uses it right beside the person.

5. It isn't invisible.

But still unkillable, and if the builder knows it's there, he'll run through a seed (assuming you make it 2x2) and lose it.

[CapnMelonHead]

@Waffles: Sorry, but i honestly don't like any of the names. When you think about other titans, their names are english (Except maybe syph and luci.) Foss = Fossile, Gran= Granite, Volt=Volt, Breez= Breeze, Demon=Demon Etc.

@iC0ckBlock : I'll just shorten it, thanks for you opinion.

Hi Capn long time no see... on Bnet that is >.<
kays nice titan idea in total but some changes I think that would make this titan more balanced

1. your heal seriously needs to be more balanced i think, by either decreasing the "lifesteal" or increasing the manacost.  you may also want to decrease you titan's base attack speed (if there is such a thing in ID) so that the titan needs to invest in something to increase attackspeed to make the heal more worthwhile

2 your second heal also may cause big problems, as it can be equated to a free 15 gold (if my memory serves me properly, I havent played ID since the middle of this year)  you drain until the TH has 50 HP, then you nuke it.  wouldn't this be op in a sense, as if I recall properly, some races, with those especially the land-bound ranged titan hunter, may choose to keep their titan hunter as a sort of tower in certain bases and do not leave space for them to blink back into the base. Therefore the player in the base has 2 choices, either to blink the TH out and get killed by the titan, or leave the TH in the base and get killed by the titan via the heal and the nukes

These are just my thoughts, this is a nice titan idea overall

P.S.  How's burning? is he on the site?
P.P.S add me on garena! username plasmas09 cos i cant access bnet anymore... feel free to join the occasional ID game in the Singapore ID room

I had thought of this, but decided not to mention it. It IS, however, a good point. Perhaps make it so a TH who was affected by this skill can't be nuked for, like, 15 seconds? That way he still has to mass nukes from minions to kill it.

Beyond that, the builder can always deny the hunter, so the titan gets no feed from it.

[CapnMelonHead]

@Plamsma09:
Long time no see. Yes burning is on the site, but he doesn't write much at all.
1. I know the heal is very wrong, i need help fixing that.
2. With the second heal, it is very easy to counter. If your out in the open, just move out of range. If you in the walls of your base, blink further in. Don't blink back into the walls until you have 550 mana or so to blink back out. or if you made the mistake of blinking in with low mana and he starts to drain your health, deny your self with towers.
Its a very easy move to be countered and i think it is fine how it is.

[plasmas09]

hmm okays
first @IC0ckBlock
i dont think that having that nuke immunity will be effective, but rather impose a spell duration for the spell?
in addition to that it would be very hard to deny your hunter fast enough to not feed if the titan is pro and fast enough he (or she) would manage to chain nuke when the TH is under the 500HP range using an extra minion.

@CapnMelonHead
0. OIC...  anyone I might know on this site that I might know, greenainteasy etc etc?

1. How about decreasing the damage and the attack speed of the Titan to balance the somewhat imba heal, instead of like decreasing the pseudo-lifesteal amount.  you could also scale the manacost
Level 1 - 30 mana per sec
Level 2 - 65 mana per sec
Level 3 - 100 mana per sec

Hows that?

2. this amounts to a free ward setup, making a full use of the wards duration when the titan moves back.  This can also be a problem as mana regeneration for TH is quite slow and by blinking in and blinking out of the hole can tax the hunter's manapool, in addition to that, some bases have limited space (like the bottom right inverted "L") if you are going to playing certain races (mak hunters in walls, gnoll hunters in the corner, surrounded by towers) perhaps put a sap duration?

thanks

@melon, uh ... skelet = torture??

[CapnMelonHead]

Sorry I'm a bit late on answering, but:
@Waffles: lol, I didn't see it like that.
@Plasma: Sap durations added.
              Burning is on the site, but never goes on.
              EmoKirbiee (aka King Kirby) is on the site, but also doesn't go on often.
              Sand has an account
              Waffles has an account (As seen above^)
              I think that is all, I'll come back to you if i remember anyone else.
