Today, Korean website Inven posted information regarding Auriel’s release day ability details. Things seem slightly off this time though, with an excellent Auriel concept posted by Redditor Dandu13 last week seeming all too familiar.
Dandu13 first posted the concept on reddit last week however today Inven posted the same concept under the title of Datamined information. Later an Explanation was posted regarding the misunderstanding, showing that this was indeed just a concept. So what do we know for sure? Well, we know that Auriel is a support and we saw the use of both a damage ability and CC ability in the Dev video. So with that in mind, let's take a look at the theory concept that is gaining so much attention.
Combat Trait – Bestow Hope
Gather Hope stacks whenever AUriel deals damage with Angelic Sweep or Auriel’s allies deal damage under the effect of Angelic Flight. A maximum of 50 hope stacks can be stashed, Hope stacks are used for healing.
Q – Ray of Heaven
40 mana, no cooldown (based on availability of stacks).
Heal target ally OR heal all nearby allies for 10 (+4% per level) for each stack of hope.
W – Angelic Sweep
60 mana, 8 sec cooldown
Deals 200 (+4% per level) to target enemy, and 100 (+4% per level) to all enemies caught in the cone between her ribbons. Non-heroic enemies hit grant 2 stacks of Hope, whilst Heroes hit grant 6 stacks of Hope.
E – Restraining Blow
50 mana, 14 sec cooldown
Knockback Target, dealing 95 (+4% per level) damage, revealing them for 4 seconds. If the target collides with terrain, they will be stunned for 2 seconds.
Secondary Ability – Angelic Flight
45 sec cooldown
Activate to teleport to an ally, buffing him for 3 seconds. Whilst under the effect of Angelic Flight, friendly allies grant 5 stacks of hope for each 50 damage dealt. The effect of the buff will be chosen out of tier 1 talents.
Heroic 1 – Resurrect
80 mana, 80 sec cooldown
Ressurect a downed ally near you to full health, within 4 seconds. If unsuccessful, target ally will remain downed and will respawn normally. (4 second window interval, similar to Tyrael’s 3.5 window before exploding).
Heroic 2 – Ribbon Cacoon
70 mana, 80 sec cooldown
Wrap a target ally into a healing cacoon for up to 5 seconds, healing him for 150 (+4% per level) health per seconds. Ally cannot move of be targeted whilst under the effect. Auriel can cancel this effect by pressing the ability again.
Level 1 talents
Angelic Shield – Angelic flight grants target all a shield of 300 (4% per level) for 3 seconds. Whilst under the effect, he grants Auriel 5 Hope stacks for each 50 damage dealt.
Angelic Bravery – Angelic Flight grants target ally 30% attack speed for 3 seconds. While under the effect he grants Auriel 5 Hope stacks for each 50 damage dealt.
Angelic Aura – Angelic Flight grants target all 50% ability damage reduction for 3 seconds. While under the effect he grants Auriel 5 Hope stacks for each 50 damage dealt.
It’s a fantastic concept, but whether or not this is how Auriel will be implemented is yet to be proven so we will just have to wait and see.
