Shiva, the Destroyer

Forum » God & Item Ideas » Shiva, the Destroyer 5 posts - page 1 of 1

Hello there! I'm new to these forums but I've been playing SMITE since beta, so I've been around since the start, and it's been fun for three and a half years! For my mythological knowledge, I've played Age of Mythology (PC and DS versions) and I've read a couple of books on them. Anyway, I'm interested to creating some God designs - the first of which will be Shiva, the Destroyer from Hindu mythology. He'll look something like this:

He'll have four arms, one of which will carry the Trishula (Trident) and another will carry a club with a skull on the end. He'll use these two to attack. The other two arms will carry deerskin and a drum. When he's firing his ultimate, he'll also summon his Pinaka bow which will replace the deerskin and drum. Hi-Rez can insert whatever lore they want.

Here's some info and stats:

Third Eye:

When Shiva kills an enemy, their spirit is trapped within his Third Eye. Each minion grants him one stack, with a maximum of 50. Big monsters and the Cyclops minion give 3 stacks when killed, while Gods give 5. The Gold Fury and Fire Giant give 20 stacks when killed. Each stack grants him physical power and lifesteal. These stacks are reset upon death.

3: Maheshwarastra:

Shiva calls upon the Maheshwarastra to fire a red beam of celestial energy, inflicting true damage to enemies in a line in front of him every 0.5s for 2s. The attack does more damage based on the number of spirits trapped in his third eye. Shiva is immune to knockbacks while channeling.

Shiva uses his bow to fire the Pashupatastra, releasing all the spirits in his third eye to power the weapon.

Shiva loses all stacks acquired from his passive upon activating this ability.

It looks alright so far but the matter of fact is that we have too many Hindu assassin's and adding another one would just be boring. No offence, but I do believe that we need to probably get another mage or even a warrior for the Hindu's.

Fair enough, but then again, I don't think Shiva could've been much else. Maybe I can make a support mage out of Brahma?

Maybe make the passive physical power per stack 0.5 because if its fully stacked you get 50 phys power and 20% lifesteal...and that's without items

And I actually think a Brahma support styled mage would be pretty good but if you can try to give him some form of cc and some utility if you are really aiming for him to be a support mage
