Venomancer abilities
Venomous Gale
Launches a ball of venom in a line, poisoning enemy units so that they take both initial damage and damage over time, as well as suffering slowed movement. Venomous Gale deals damage every 3 seconds over its duration.
Aghanim's Shard: Increases cast range and projectile speed by 25%. When Venomous Gale impacts enemy heroes, 2 Plague Wards are created around them.
Snakebite
Venomancer summons a Spawn of Aktok to sink its fangs into a target, dealing magic damage and applying a toxin that does damage every second. When the target attacks while infected, they take the initial damage again.
Plague Ward
Summons a plague ward to attack enemy units and structures. The ward is immune to magic. Wards gain the Poison Sting level from Venomancer, dealing 50% of the full damage.
Poison Sting
Venomancer's attacks slow enemies and deal damage over time.
Aghanim's Shard: Whenever Poison Sting is applied, it deals extra damage equal to %debuff_dmg%% of the attacker's base damage for every debuff the enemy has from Venomancer or a unit he controls.
Noxious Plague
Infects an enemy with a plague that does damage on application then slows the target and deals damage over time based on their maximum health. When the debuff ends for any reason, all debuffs from Venomancer on the initial target and the plague are spread to nearby targets. Additional spreads beyond the first do not deal impact damage.
Aghanim's Scepter: Decreases cooldown by %bonus_AbilityCooldown% seconds. Infected units have decreased magic resistance. Additional spreads from hero targets deal full impact damage.
Venomancer brings slow death to his enemies. Sprouting an endless army of toxin-spitting watchers to defend his territory, should foes draw near he can release a massive cloud of lingering poison to weaken enemies.
