Hi Edain team. I have an idea how to make Gandalf the white be more versatile hero. How about giving Gandalf a switching mode ability??? He would switch from staff to staff+sword. I was thinking about his new powers.
Staff mode(Saruman animations)
Magic blast(-50% range, -75% reload)
Revive(chosen hero after death will be revived immediately with 50% HP)
Magic shield(hobbit movie style) protects him and nearby units for 20 seconds
Gandalf The White(gandalf is shining and grants allied units with +50% to damage and scares enemy units
Shadowfax(mount/dismount) when mounted Gandalf revive ability is replaced with"White Rider" which gives him +100% to speed for 10 seconds
Saruman animation would fit perfectly for Gandalf with staff mode. Gandalf with staff is meant to be a support on battlefield, healing and giving morale to allied units and when there is a need to run, he can mount shadowfax and ride away
Staff+sword(current animations)
Lighting(the way it is currently)
Glamdring(+50% to attack speed and +50% to damage for 30 seconds)
Light of Istari(the way it is currently)
Word of Power(if it's posibble could you make it be less blue and more transparent?)
Shadowfax(mount/dismount, no additional abilities)
This Gandalf mode is a fighting one. Slower, but stronger, and more destructive.
I really hope that you like this concept. Gandalf is among the most important heroes in the game and one of the most favored I believe
