Really like these spells some quick notes

Crude Swing - Though the damage on it was pretty high but like with other high damage AoE spells its channeling which provides time for the enemy to move out of the way or interrupt, would be useful for farming bunched up creeps.

Incinerate and Pillar of Fire seem to have good synergy and my only concern is that people would feel they would have to pick up both while speccing. Although each spell is individually fairly strong so there may be no need to worry.

Meditation of Warmth - a very original heal that could be tremendously powerful or weak depending on the situation, but definitely a solid support skill.

Wildfire - Love this ability, reminds me of the Brutalis Encounter in WoW, my only concern would it being too weak in a 1v1 scenario but then not every hero is built for that so its not totally relevant.

All in all a solid hero concept =)

[Dark_Nemesis]

Hmm, have to agree with Kalrithus here, lovely concepts.

A few thoughts:

Widlfire has a nice ring to it. Though I would have it set as a debuff sort of effect, say the next time the hero attacks. This would keep in tune with the melee style fighting, and with ranged spells, tanks can quickly become OP. Just a thought.

The name is great, stats are...hmm...the str gain is huge, Gravel has a 2.5 I believe, and your int/agil gains seem rather high. These are just number I realize, but iirc, Gravel also had a .9 agil again. So....

Innate is kinda a reminder of Swashy's Dash, and your basically using the same skin (only red colored right?), so you may want to change that. Too, something with a bit more of a tanking aspect would be fitting.

Little confused about incinerate/evoc dmg suffering bit?

MOW is good, great in fact. But maybe drop a ward of some type instead of a token? Perhaps even a summon to heal?

Really like the pillar fire spell, kinds reminds me of BP a bit, though with a creative touch.

Highly back these concepts, awesome hero ideas. The hat to you Sorlag

[Sorlag]

Yeah, the attributes were a bit off, I corrected them, but none the less , these numbers are just suggestions, so basically they tell nothing.

Incinerate has been renamed, since Requiem seems to have that name somewhere already.
The concept of it is that units take amplified damage, if it suffers from evocation, the buff is replaced by an DoT buff, hope that cleared the confusion for you, Nemesis.

I object that Furious Leap is a ripoff of Dash, since it is rather a defensive than an offensive skill, due to its low range and high cooldown.

Also the suggested cast range of Wildfire has been reduced to touch range.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
