Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

What if you had a hero that had two separate health bars? one solely for Physical and the other Magic?

For example, the hero starts out with two sets of low health bars, say...300 HP each. Low separately, but together equaling 600 total. Which is very high. Again, one set would ONLY be for physical, and the other Magic. Items bought would split evenly between the two healths. This hero (I was thinking of a Hydra model, with duel/splitting theme they're known for fitting perfectly) of course, would be a Tanker. So say your 2500 HP hero (very weak for a Tank to be sure) would really have 5K HP that you've got to chop/blast through.

Thoughts?

Others feel free to comment.

That would only discourage teaming up to kill the hero.

How so? You could argue the same for almost every tank then.

I think this idea should be something to try out, for instance when 1 head dies it takes your respawn time to come back or it stays dead and comes back when both have died. i think it should be done because it sounds cool and could be easy to kill if 1 head is already dead!

No, you couldn't.

You see, some heroes deal physical, and some magical damage. Granted, there are overlaps, but consider this situation.

DW deals 2000 damage to the hero, who is at 500hp, but for the sneaking Infiltrator he's still at the full 2500hp. So why would the Inf and DW want to work together, if it doesn't help them at all?

This makes zero sense.

though killing one of the sides should have a severe disadvantage for the whole hero - at least

Referring back to the original idea: separately, the Hydra would far weaker as a hero. For instance, the magic "part" of the hydra might only have 1000 hp around say lvl 40. Seems like a big enough disadvantage to me. And too, this concept is obliviously suppose to tank.

I think you accidentally a verb there.

And this comes from the guy who objects to other people's English?
