Gandalf switching modes

(1/2) > >>

SzmekNosiu:
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 :)

Is Hero Submod being developed for Edain 4? Maybe they can implement something like that, I don't know.

I had imagined stance-Gandalf differently, the stances being mounted/unmounted, Shadowfax occupies a whole power level in Gandalf's Palantir, and I don't think that's necessary.

The lines of the ET about possible changes for Gandalf, as the one that Skeeverboy quoted, are pretty lapidary and clear  :)
There are wise reasons behind them.

Gandalf was/is arguably the most iconic and powerful hero of BFME1, and of the BFME serie itself.
His characteristic and initial abilities are like an 'institution' for every game of this serie, a testament of the Glorious Past.
Also, the Edain Mod 4.0 exactly aims to primarily go back to the initial roots of BFME1, via its building system and other significant elements.
Gandalf's abilities won't thus be changed so easily.

As for what concerns your proposal, it wouldn't be really wise dividing Gandalf's staff from Glamdring, since they are both deeply part of Gandalf, being him the most 'active' and 'adventurous' among the Istari; Glamdring was also the legendary Sword of the Noldorin High King Turgon, something I would never do without  ;)

The Mount must necessarily occupy a slot in the Palantír of powers of a hero, as it is a really useful tool which grants many advantages for each one benefitting from it.
And, again, Shadowfax was the most famous and iconic Mount of BFME1, I thus think that it shouldn't be 'reduced' as a stance as well  :)

Gandalf The Gray:
i think gandalf the white is ok as he is but gandalf the gray should not have the same lvl 10 and lvl 7 skill with gandalf the white
