I added ideas seen in the link below for both the seeing the enemy (stealthed) and escaping the enemy. But prior to that, I talk a bit about the escape ideas that is also mixed as an mobility idea.
One of my mobility ideas was to take on the form of a Ghost or “Banshee” not unlike how when Sylvanas does it.
I think of it working like similar to StarCraft 2 Protoss Adept unit with its unique ability Psionic Transfer
- Psionic Transfer
Projects an invulnerable psionic image that can move but not attack. After 7 seconds, the adept teleports to the image’s location. The shade may be canceled at any time, and the adept won’t teleport. The shade has a sight radius of 2.
Buts for Shadow, I would name the ability “Shade” and when you use it, you would become a Ghost and be able to fly around maybe? But also move really fast and may or may not be able to cast spells and after a few seconds, your corporeal form will snap to your Ghost form.
Another visual example of how this could work/look is if you look at the movie The Chronicles of Riddick, the main commander guy has those necroverse powers where he can move with his ghost or spirit or whatever it is prior to his physical form.
But basically you can use this Shade ability for movement or for escape.
The specifics would have to be ironed out like…
- Can you cast while in your Shade form? Or will it be given the Dispersion treatment?
- Will your physical corporeal form be immune to any or all damage while you are shaded?
- Can you fly and gain elevation advantage during your Shade form?
- How long will it last?
- How fast will you go?
So it would look something like this…
- Shade
Leave your body to become a ghost, increasing movement speed by 200%. Your body transfers to the location of your ghost when activated again or after 3 seconds. Your ghost form is immune to all effects but unable to cast spells while your true form is left behind.
I already mentioned this prior in the feedback post here…
