With the upcoming addition of 4 extra points to the hero talent tree in Midnight, I came up with a brand new idea to make the Archon hero talent feel much more epic and impactful!
Instead of “Divine Halo” being the capstone for Archon, it would be moved to the middle of the tree, opening up the capstone slot for a brand new ability: Archon Form
Here’s how the spell tooltip could look:
Halo is replaced with Archon Form after conjuring X halos.
Archon Form
Ascend into a higher state, transforming into an Archon. Upon entering this form, you release a ripple of five halos and gain 2 charges of Surge of Light/Mindflay: Insanity. Lasts until your final halo is released.
Reduces all damage taken by X% and makes you immune to all movement impairing effects.
The form would last about 4-5 seconds with a halo releasing around every 0.8 - 1 seconds until the 5th and final halo is released. Visually, I think the Archon Form could be a recolor of the “Spirit of Redemption” model ! golden/yellow for Holy priests and purple/voidy for Shadow priests
I think this would a brand new layer of class fantasy what it means to be an archon as a priest. I also think that it would fit the flavor text of archon in the game. What do you guys think of this idea?
