Two stances: Defence Stance and Offense Stance – mouse scroll to switch between stances. (maybe a minor cd in between stance switch)
Offense stance wields Mace/Flail.
Defence Stance wields Shield.
Defence stance:
Bridge is unable to attack
Passive: Inspire becomes an overtime heal to units around her (like lucio)
LMB: Aegis
Bridge takes a defensive stance with her shield, creating an aoe around her that reduces damage allies takes while inside her range; as well adding another HOT (healing over time) alongside inspire to allies.
We can remove the heal if its too much healing.
If needed – Resource bar like moria or tank shields? Aegis shield has to recover/regen
shield recovers whenever LMB is not in use
RMB: Shield bash
Option A:
Bridge throws her shield at the enemy, stunning them for a bit
maybe hit multiple people?
this will knock her out of shield stance for a bit, maybe or naw?
Option B
Bridge throws her shield at the enemy barrier, doing large amounts of damage to it or shattering it.
E: Repair pack – live version
– maybe more charges if needed.
Offensive stance:
Less healing or no healing at all in this stance. – think of it like mercy’s pistol mode.
Inspire: Now goes back to how it is on live but weaker. or No Inspire at all.
LMB: rocket flail
like live … maybe a bit more range?
RMB: Shield bash
*No longers stuns or breaks shields (depending on which option we want)
*hits one unit or multiple units
*does some dmg now in offensive stance.
this sounds cool! sounds like it could be tough to balance with all the different moves but it would make her more interesting to play and give her back some of the paladin feel she had before.
What about for aegis brigitte gets extra health, but some of the damage allies take within its range is redirected to her (cutting off when she gets below like 50% health or something)? maybe that would be better for a tank but i just love the idea of a bodyguard ability like that lol
Yeah i had to cut back on the offensive stance ideas cuze it was getting too much lmao.
Thats another good way around my aegis idea tbh. But since she is a support tank, how can she keep her hp up to use the ability more ofthen?
Maybe we can add to, my current kit, dmg redirection to her. Like she receives part of the dmg she reduces to herself. But this will prob require her to have a little bit more hp than normal, or her self healing to be good enough lol.
The concept came out of trying to remove Barriers and adding other mechanics that can be just as viable.
I also like the idea of a main healer with HOTS instead of direct heal
yeah i’d love to see more damage mitigation that isnt just barriers, reflects and dva and sigma eating things lol. in wow holy paladins have an ability where the damage an ally takes is applied to them at a reduced rate so i think that could work here. Or maybe all her health could turn to armor when the ability is up or something? that with the added aoe HoT should be enough sustain i think?
Yeah that could work tbh, it can be another CON factor if the ability itself seems too week. It has to allow her to use it a lot like Moria’s heal, but also have a penalty, which is why i added a resource bar so it can’t be constantly up like moria.
But yeah its a good way of adding another Minor con to balance it out.
but yeah Dmg mitigation
A main healer with HOTS
And a ability that does tons of dmg to shields or breaks them are nice editions and solutions to current problems.
These abilities are great for supports and tanks.
I just want blizzard to see how they can make chars and differently / unique. And how t fix bridge.
yeah it feels like most of the unique heroes are dps, the tanks and supports dont have as much variety as they could, but sigma is pretty interesting so i’m hoping theyre gonna figure it out soon lol
but i just love the idea of a bodyguard ability like that lol
