Forge Lackey - Welder / Apprentice / Staller
Hello Hello! first post on the forums. This is my first attempt at making a hero, it seems a bit overstuffed at the moment, but I still want to get the ideas out there. I don't have art, but please take a look.
lore and name wip
An apprentice engineer at Fairfax industries, determined to show that his skills are more than enough to get him out of this damned internship.
Hero Summary
Support / Tank / Bruiser
Forge Lackey keeps fights going, reinforcing his allies while hindering his enemies.
Weapon
Name: wip its a giant welder
DPS: 71.4
Bullet Damage: 6 (+0.2*boon)
Ammo: 70
Bullets per sec: 11.9
Reload Time: 3s
Bullet Velocity: 533m/s
Falloff Range: 18-26m*
*Welders falloff range increases as it fires, to a max of 28-36m. Additionally the area of the cone will increase (The base of the cone starts closer to you, so you can hit multiple people easy if they are right in front of you.)
Alt-Fire: Tune Up
8m range
Holding right click on a highlighted ally to target them, holding right click without an ally in range will target you. Tuning up a character will give them 25% debuff resistance, and +3(0.2 per boon) regen while you are tuning them.
(I thought this could be an interesting alt fire idea.)
Abilities
Percussive Maintenance
Close ranged ability that can be used for moving yourself or knocking away both friend and foe.
*Launching yourself while upgraded to t2 will give you reinforced, as you are launching yourself. Also not sure what to do for a t3 upgrade here.
Reinforcement
Support ability that can heal you and your ally up, while increasing their defenses for a time. When maxed out also gives a damage amp.
(Original idea was kind of like a paige barrier that you had to keep applying to get better, this is what that idea has turned into.)
Slag Shot
AoE ability to hinder your enemies and chase them down. Additionally has extra effects against those nimble flyers and acrobatics.
(Similar aoe to an infernus napalm, it pulls a lot from the viper knife rework, but I think this is a better implementation of that idea. I thought increasing weight would be an interesting way to hinder people using stamina and/or flight without outright draining stamina.)
Spectral Forge
Forge Lackeys ultimate ability. Deploy your Forge defensively or offensively and decimate your foes. Coordinate with allies, or rush ahead yourself to knock them into the center to scorch them. Place it down when you or allies need cover or a spot to rest.
(This is probably going to be completely reworked, but I had trouble thinking of an ult for him, so I just threw out the first thing that stuck in my head. I really like the idea, but i think it will be a little game breaking.)
