Double post.

This is not the same as the necromancer, so don't flame about that. I've had this idea for some time now, and finally posted it.

[Illumanus]

Hmmm looks kinda like a tauren mixed with a goblin. Me thinks the position for what this builder would fill, is already taken.

[eLK.]

More feedback, I want to know what makes him similar to a goblin / tauren.

[islandDer]

The idea of traps is reminiscent of goblin.  Also, don't you think the exploding corpses is a little imba?  You could essentially do up to 1.5k damage over 5 seconds.  All you'd have to do to kill mini would be to send 5 workers to mid, get them killed, explode corpses, almost dead mini (a hunter or any offensive builder could finish it off).

[eLK.]

Yeah, I'll up the mana cost. Thanks.

Goblin is only 1 sort of trap.

[13omb]

Yeah, I'll up the mana cost. Thanks.

Goblin is only 1 sort of trap.

ummm don,t they have mines and stun?

[eLK.]

Yes, 'one' type. This has a slow, a dps, and a silence.

[AoW_Hun7312]

Do the mines last forever, like land mines for goblin techies? Or are they timed, like wards?

[eLK.]

Timed, but they last a while.

[Darox]

Timed, but they last a while.

They last forever.

[Striker]

Timed, but they last a while.

They last forever.

I think he was talking about his traps, not the goblin land mines.

[eLK.]

Yes.

[Red]

Looks good.

[eLK.]

Changed theme; complete revamp.

[Red]

Even better.

[Defcon_5]

Yeah dude im kinda down with this. Unique and a great concept, but that whole corpse explosion thing seems to depend on a random dead body. how about if the meat wagon can throw a random coprse somewhere. like it can collect corpses, then fire them to a specific point, and then the ghoul can do his stun thing.  Crows could do corpse picking either doesnt matter to me >_>

[eLK.]

The meat wagon can drop corpses, where the Ghoul will then blow them up. Great synergy.

[Ninja_Sheep]

I don't like it if you can summon mechanic units. NOBODY summons mechanic units... not archmonde, not the archmage, NOBODY. Summoning mechanic units is a bad idea imo.

[Darox]

Tinker.

GG NO RE

[JayceJa]

wow you just got owned!

so far im liking the idea, but +60 percent movement bonus is a bit much, i suggest you whack it with the nerf stick, or rework how it works,

though i would like to see the rest of it before commenting moreso,

[eLK.]

Alright, played around with it, added some stuff.

yarrr?

  Lol good for killl stealing.  That makes it good in my book!  I like the idea a lot, I'm wondering how many workers this guy gonnna have and what not.  We need another type of summons builder beside demon!

[jadegolem]

wasnt there already a ghoul builder suggestion on the old forum? im pretty sure there was then darox closed the thread

[eLK.]

Don't know about that, but good luck finding an idea similar to this one.
