A 1P RPG [Hero Ideas] [WIP]

Hello all!
Me and my brother are working on a single-player RPG map.
Distinguishing features will be its story, its dialogue, its replay value, its varying artistic styles, and varying play-styles that will be fun for all types of players [Casual, Methodical, Adrenaline, Adventurous, etc.].
Thus far we have fleshed out 17 heroes and assigned each stats, attacks, sound-sets, and names. These ARE subject to change, of course.
We have also begun writing back stories, quests, plot(s), and story/quest arcs as well, but these are also subject to change, so I will not be divulging that information.

Hero List:
Alchemist
Assassin
Barbarian
Bartender
Cultist
Dark Archer
Drifter
Light Archer
Madman
Mercenary
Royal Guard
Shaman
Wizard
Spell Blade
Sorceress
Stalker
Spirit Tracker

Given these titles [and the models used], what abilities would you suggest/like to see, and which do you feel should be altered or removed entirely?

All help is greatly appreciated! Also, all criticism, so that we may refine our map!
I will update this thread as we continue to edit and update the map and will be working everyday towards its completion.

-Bah: Passive defense increase.
-Hehe: Throws a net onto the target, trapping it.
-RAAARGH!!!: Goes into a rage, disabling control of the hero but increasing its attack speed and damage by a huge amount.
Bartender
-Drunken Fist: Stuns the target.
-Down the Hatch: Increases attack damage and speed but gives a chance to miss attacks.
-Inferno Spray: Sprays out some booze, lighting it on fire and damaging everything in a cone in front of him.

-Dark Bolt: Ranged attack.
-Curse: Ranged dot.
-Dark Ritual: Summons a doom guard to fight for him temporarily.
