View Full Version : Goretusk (A purchasable minion!)



02-11-2010, 03:31 PM
Now HoN has lots of items and recipes, but the one thing it doesn't have is the ability to purchase a minion. My proposal follows:

An 800 gold recipe to upgrade the monkey courier into a controllable minion called Goretusk. (An ape like creature//Evolution of the monkey courier).

Stats similar to the minotuar along with the activatable aoe stun. 1500 hp instead of 1100.

No limit to the amount of Goretusks you can have, keep in mind that each one costs 200 (courier) + 800 (recipe). 1000 total. However, when Goretusk dies, it dies permanently. (like the minions controlled through whispering helm).

Great item for players who depend on armies (ophelia, warbeast, etc)

This is just a rough draft of the item, and keep in mind its basically just a concept. Numbers, names, cost can all be tweaked.

What do you guys think?





Alternative option: The ability to hold items and take advantage of any bonuses from the item. (Similar to wildsoul's pet) However, on death, the items disperse on the ground akin to the courier.

My only problem with this item is that your paying 1000 gold for a free stun. imagine tempest leaving the forest at level 4, he runs out stuns you for 2 seconds, you have 2 seconds of running, your stunned for another two seconds, now goretusk stuns for you 2 seconds. Same deal with ophelia. I personally would buy this items on ophelia/tempest as you pretty much ruin that lane if they push forward.

All in all, i think a stun is a bit strong.

No qualms from me about a pet that helps you nuet tho :D

Good luck with it

Well puzzlebox is nice, but those are summons that are temp rather than permanent.

puzzle is also alot harder to farm than this is. And buying puzzle box to farm is like buying a minigun to hunt pigeons.

Note: I would probably buy a minigun to hunt pigeons...

Seems too pricy.

However, I thought it would be cool if it were possible to buy creeps at the rax to increase wave strength (uncontrollable), maybe you could think of some numbers for that?
