Warcraft III ability in real life

[Sky Green]

I'd take vampiric aura, blink, thorns aura and a hero frenzy that i'd call Primal Rage (ulti ofc) and I would then be a hero yay me!

 

[Deolrin]

One ability. Not abilities.

 

[Darkgamma]

I would pick Build so I can go out and with 200 Euros build a fancy castle for me.

 

[noob]

A castle with warcraft 3 scale is very small.

I'll import a custom model duh

 

[noob]

You have not the universe editor or else you would better make directly a castle in the universe with the editor. it is god who can inport custom models not you.

 

[w3.player]

Nobody said the build ability has to build warcraft buildings... it's just that it let's you build a structure all by yourself in a fast time.

SEE!
I can build banks, then rob them without building a bobby hut for the bobbies to chase me down.

I would choose the ability "Reincarnation".

 

[Darkgamma]

I would choose the ability "Reincarnation".

It'n't bad, nay

 

[-Dieser-]

It'n't bad, nay

Is bad? I can live again

 

[w3.player]

Dieser... basically Reincarnation, warcraft ability, will revive you in the form which you held when you died... so if you die from old age, you are going to revive as a old man... over and over again... It's not such a good idea.

If you die before the cooldown you really die

 

[w3.player]

^ Yeah... well we could suppose that he uses Magtheridon's Reincarnation (if i recall correctly) and that one has a little cooldown which results in:
Death - 00:00
Revive - 00:01
Cooldown refresh - 00:03
Death - 00:05
and the cycle goes on... so he would have only 2 minutes each time after a revival until he dies...

(They aren't real numbers, it's just an possible example.)

 

[Dynamiczx]

Maybe invulnerability would be better...as long as it will keep you from aging...
If not, try to turn into an undead and pray that you won't turn into a rotten zombie and instead, you would keep your human appearance

 

[w3.player]

^ You need Frostmourne for that... Arthas is basically one that became undead and kept is appearance. Why? because with Frostmourne he kept his form and great powers, but lost his soul and human life energy.

 

[Dynamiczx]

What about necromancers?They were humans too...

 

[w3.player]

I think they are still humans which pledged allegiance with the undead... as far as i see it, they aren't undead at all, except for the fact they use dark magic... maybe that's what made them undead... the use of dark magic taints the soul.

 

[OmNomNom]

Locust, of course. No one shall click on me.

 

[Direfury]

The overused abilities should be barred.

 

[I3lackDeath]

Can't decide between either Blink or Invisibility.
I'd probably go with Blink, it would save sooo much frigging time. >_>

 

[Tirlititi]

Doom ofc.

You turn an irritating foe into a brainless friend, what else do you want?

 

[w3.player]

Sorry for going off-topic but... A brainless friend = not a friend, just a slave or a zombie.

 

[Vunjo]

Creature with brain has feelings. Creatures with feelings who are not attacking you are either your allies, or neutral. Creatures who follow you, and have brains and feelings are your friends

Well, they are classified as undead so they get scorched with holy light and healed with death coil. Being undead also grants the bonus of being completely immune to disease cloud. I think they are undead, just smart enough to circumvent the nastier side effects of the plague. You know, because their WIZARDS. I wouldn't consider being undead as much of an ability though.

 

[Deolrin]

Nah. That's just gameplay mechanics.
Necromancers and Acolytes are just humans who pledged their lives to the Cult of the Damned, and thus, to Kel'thuzad and the Lich King. Though, I guess there is some ritual or something they have to undertake, or maybe their spells(or summoning buildings, in the Acolyte's case) have an effect on their mortality and humanity.

 

[w3.player]

Vunjo, he said they are brainless....

I always figured they were more of a vampiric-sort of undead, were being undead serves more as a way to achieve more power or immortality (not that either is particularly durable or powerful).
Or at least more of the sort of Diablo III reasoning with smart and dumb skeletons, were standard minions get shafted with undeath, but the faithful servants of the lich king are more blessed with it.

The acolyte does look pretty zombiefied if you look at his unwrap though, his hood hides a big scar in his head and his face doesn't look very alive. Also, when slain he spews purple blood, which doesn't really scream "alive". (The necromancer is still red-blooded though, so maybe you're on to something with them).

 

[w3.player]

They are called Necromancer because they practice Necromancy which is known to be the dark art of magic, the use of unholy energies and dark summonings. Such magic in most cases taints the soul of the user by striping certain human properties from him but also gives him longevity and power. I think this is the same case here in Warcraft III.

 

[Vunjo]

Vunjo, he said they are brainless....

sheeit :O

 

[adishaireen]

Metamorphosis so i can frighten my lil' cousins...
Ngahhhh, thats a joke
I'd rather pick bash so i can beat up my brother with ease...

 

[Wazzz]

Summon Skeleton? Why not Zoidberg (Y)(;,,(Y)

please don't attempt humour ever again

it is clearly not your field of expertise

 

[-Kobas-]

It seams that my spell book ability is still unmatched ^_^

 

[67chrome]

It seams that my spell book ability is still unmatched ^_^

weell, if you only pick one ability like the OP says, spellbook isn't that great. Because it would theoretically be empty :O

If you'd assume it had abilities I think it would just be the 3 it comes with by default looking at the OP though, which is just Roar, entangling roots, and dispel magic. Entangling roots is pretty good, because it disables the target from doing anything but casting spells, which would clearly be more powerful in RL (due to the lack of spellcasters XD
dispel magic would be near worthless due to the same reason, and roar isn't that great either.

 

[-Peper-]

Roar can scare off bullies

 

[DeadZero]

I would spend time thinking about this, buuut....
This thread has shown up too many times

 

[Squiggy]

Blink it is

 

[Dynamiczx]

Roar can scare off bullies

or Taunt can attract them

 

[w3.player]

As far as i see it... all abilities have been said already... there's no point in continuing the discussion here... just maybe a free place for those who haven't seen the topic by now to post their own opinions.

Not default, 11 different spells, like blink, charm etc etc

 

[Magtheridon96]

call UnitAddAbility(Magtheridon96, 'Aher')

There. Now, I'm a hero
None of you can cast your spells because you don't have the 'Aher' ability ^_^
Problem?

 

[Vladadamm]

The units can cast spells too x)

 

[Vunjo]

call UnitAddAbility(Magtheridon96, 'Aher')

Problem?

I can still use a gun you know....

 

[Magtheridon96]

Well, units can't cast hero spells (Unless they have the right levels and a few other things)

 

[Dynamiczx]

Magtheridon,the title is, Warcraft 3 ability in real life, meaning that we choose an ability which already is in warcraft 3 as the one we would like to have in real life not creating custom abilities
Cause then, the title would be, Custom Made Ability in real life....problem? ^^

 

[LordDz]

I would take silence, then spam it so you wouldn't be able to cast yer spells.

 

[aldo2000]

I would use spell immunity, so none of you can touch me, hehehe

 

[Vladadamm]

Since Guns and Bullets aren't spells, i can still touch you and headshot you.

 

[aldo2000]

Okay, I will use Divine Shield FOREVER if that not work.

EDIT : This thread is only about ability vlad, yes I won
