WoW you got a lot of work to do. Here are some suggestions :

Mage Huntress

Skill 1 : Arcane Shot
TYPE : Direct damage
Description : The huntress uses she's arcane knowlegde, and with the hunter skills creates a arrow that strikes the enemy for direct X damage.

Skill 2 : Trap of the Unseen
TYPE : Debuff
Description : The huntress places a trap on the targeted location. Then she uses arcane magic to make the trap invisible. Any unit who passes threw it will be traped for X seconds. AoE : X

Skill 3 : Persiste of Wild and Magic
TYPE : Aura
Description : Using the knowlegde of wild and magic gathered threw the years, the huntress has becomed more experieced. Reduced X % spell damage and X % attack damage done on she.

Skill 4 (Ultimate) : Arrows of Fire and Ice
TYPE : Attack bonus damage
Description : The huntress uses the magic to enchant the arrows. It shots 1 arrow infused with the power of fire that deals X direct damage and X damage over X seconds, and the power of ice slowing the target's attack and movement speed by X%


The "X" is for you to put the numbers. I could suggest more, but now i'm in a hurry. When i'll have more time i will come and suggest more.
