New Hero: Tectonic

[Epoks]

So, I've been wanting to create a whole new hero from scratch, and this is the concept I decided to use.
I'll need some help sorting out values and ability balancing, so anyone who feels they know a lot about how heroes function and work at the moment should post some feedback/suggestions. I am still a bit of a HoN newby, and not very informed on the finer points of balance.

Edit: In an effort to differentiate from Pebbles and now Magmus, I've started redesigning the abilities/theme of the hero.

Name: Tectonic
Race: Hellbourne
Hero Type: STR
Attack Type: Melee

Statistics:

-Strength:
-Agility:
-Intelligence:

________________________________

Fissure
Forces the ground beneath an enemy to break open spewing earth and steam at enemies, lasting a few seconds.

Mineral Field
Creates a mineral field that slows any unit within its radius.

Crystallize
Temporarily improves the attack damage and armour.

Volcano (ultimate)
Creates a volcano, dealing AOE damage the closer you are to the center and ash clouds the view of any enemy hero within its radius.

Suggestion: Maybe the Volcano should slow everyone caught inside the ash, so that it makes it harder to just run out and avoid it. Since its an ulti and all :)

[Epoks]

Well, it's already a pretty intense ultimate, I figured it'd be useful for big fights.
ash covers a large (I'm talking, a bit larger than the venomancer ulti) area of view for the enemy heroes and does damage for a period of time.
Anything more than that seems a bit extreme.

Should be a melee hero I would think.
Erupt and Fossilize are both skills with traits that would flow better with a melee.

[Vadi]

Neat. He'll be the volcano buddy of Pebbles.

[DarkArchon]

As he is made of rocks, it would seem he would make more sence as a str hero. I dont really know what you could change but the concept art looks funny under the int hero label. Maybe make him like a lava creature or something.
