[Support Heal/Curse Hero] By His Will I Shall Cleanse

[StarryKosmic]

So "occult" is not only paranormal or weird magic. Mysticism and religious orders have been involved in the past. As such, having a secret religious order come from the events that triggered from Central Park and the new world is not outside the realms of possibility: a stronger connection to the spirits allowed a stronger connection to a religious "higher being" that we see through "angels" and affect the world and work with monks and nuns (in quotes aesthetics are up for interpretation; but 'biblically accurate' might fit). Now as much as I like a nun running around gunning everyone down, I got this idea a lot from the Boondock Saints.

Background (atm): As the realms between spirits and this world are closer than ever, the connections of faith have grown in strength too. The previous religious orders around the world have taken careful consideration and steps to control this new reality. They may keep to the word of their books, but may use the this newfound power for their protection. New religious orders sprout, using the power of spirits and "angels" to provide now a smaller fraction of boons and curses that they thought was only capable millenia ago. [Character] is part of a secret order under the Papacy to protect the Church and hunt those that mean it harm, or even threats to the world. He has orders to hunt those that expand what they perceive as demonic wrath, but one particular target he has orders to get: a number (or something more thoughtful to involve Seven)

Gimmick: heal, buff, curse. But to make sure that the character won't be picked off in lanes and group fights, they can choose to help in an weaker AoE or a stronger individual target, including themselves. Sort of like "F--k/help you all, or f--k/help you in particular." They would be mid-range, so a revolver magnum?

Also the name. I can only think of a Polish priest/bishop named Grzegorzi and it is totally not a reference to past works at all >.> and yes I know the actual common name is Grzegorz.

What's y'alls thoughts? Too much? Cool idea? Obviously early ideas, but wanted to expand the idea of the occult.

Stepping away for a bit I thought of some abilities:

1. The heal (w/ charges): Perform a heal. It will be a base heal for AoE, or stronger heal with regen or resist on individual.

2. The buff: the AoE will increase everyone's fire rate or an individual buff the fire rate and movement speed. Both are for some time.

3. The curse: lob an AoE that reduces the walk speed of those caught in it, or walk speed and resist for individual. I'm also thinking of a T3 where you can self-target but then your damage goes up, but that sounds too stupid, it's just funny tho. All for some time.

4. The wrath: AoE will mark everyone caught in it so they can be seen through walls for your team, or for an individual they are marked and silenced. Very good denial, but will have a large cooldown to counter it. Maybe the longest? 150 s? Also all for some time.

cool alternate ‘the buff’ idea:

3 - give an ally bonus weapon damage and lifesteal on all damage dealt by enemies around them, which builds up to a maximum. when it ends applies dps to nearby enemies based on the build up.
