Talk:Manipulator - Drone 096

Bryk Is this hero similiar to a MULE? Not sure about how cloak works on this hero. Also some overlap with Install Spyware and Signal Scan. Maybe change Spyware? I hate to say it, but I think this guy needs a buff already. Bryk

Illidan:Indeed i do sense the overlap, i was trying to make the difference more of signal scan temp and reveals cloak while spyware more permanent (at least relatively) doesnt reveal cloaked but gives u vision of where ur opponents are going rather than vision of a predetermined area but looks like I have failed. Anyway, perhaps we could give him a sort of lockdown ability...oh and i was thinking it more like a raven than a mule (perhaps with some reskinning) or even an entirely now model. Also, I would like to know if u think it inappropriate to have heroes that are more about support without any direct damage dealing abilities. Illidan

Pure support heroes are great. Every hero just needs a base attack. The key is to make a support hero fun to play. Summons and disables tends to work out well for pure support.

Illidan: I'd rather stay away from summons for this one...as for disables, i kind of qualify them in one basket with debuffs and abilities like weapon disruption, destabilizing energy systems (which either causes silence or feedback, i still am not decided) and hack pretty much qualify under this banner. OFC, we can always place a good old lock down ability that affects any hero type be him mech or bio for the sake of a straight out disable. Illidan
