Then you should have triggers :D They don't have to be that complicated, really.
But for a Mountain King then... hmmm... The spells Blizzard already have is what really fits to the class Mountain King.

Ancestral Weapon (Based on Cleave ability) Strikes additional targets on hit (splash)

I'm sorry can't come up with everything else right now... :S
If you use triggers i got tons of more, but everything else i think of are really like every other class in WC3 and not really fitting for a Mountain King.

Okay then :D I'll post all ideas that pop to my mind :D

Ground Shatter (Based on the Archmages Blizzard skill) All units in target area takes damage. Not to be confused with the Far Seers Earth Quake :D

Stone Skin (Passive) (Based on Crypt Lords Spiked Carapace) Attackers take damage when they attack the Mountain King.

Stone Form (Based on Gargoyles Stone Form) Transforms into stone, making the Mountain King immune to spells, gains additional armor and has an increased Life Regeneration Rate.

All I could come up with, good luck anyway on your map. :wink:

Hmm, this is a tough one... not using triggers makes it hard.

Only thing i can think of off top of my head is Beserk Rage - Based off of troll beserk spell.

Yeah not very impressive but you could change the attachments around and make it look completly diffrent from normal spell.

You can always take something like

Stone skin <- (damn what was the name of the ability... the one which reduces taken damage...)

Dwarvens Magic <- bonus damage life steal (vamp potion)

Earths Connection <- tornado aura (reducing movementspeed)

Ultimate -> Change attack type <- use robo goblin and make him throw axes (rexxars attack model)

Throw boulder <- simple storm bolt

Ultimate -> Earths explosion <- starfall with custom buff (maybe the impale thorn and the "dust" effect)

Ultimate -> Burried alive <- entangle with stone instead of roots?

...

why do you not want triggers?
I think alot of people find that more cool. And if you dont know how to make some just get someone else to do it :p
 
i've often made a spell over cluster rockets, change the projectiles shot to 1, and alter the stun duration to something larger, and then change the projectile art to e.g. a storm hammer, arc it a bit, and then he throws a hammer, and stuns everyone in the AoE, a great replacement to storm bolt. and it looks nothing like anything everyone have ever seen before :D i've never seen it besides in my own maps, where i've done it with a tornado, (ppl get caught in wind) and an ensnare spell (ppl get caught in nets) it is very far from anything blizzard have ever made, and looks great, often. I like making such spells. I'm always looking for an alternative to triggering, to reduce lagg, although i love messing with triggers :p
