How good is BE's Wind Aura skill?

[Zoltor]

It sounds like a good skill to have, but I'm not 100% sure how good it is in the field(Blizzaed Elimental is hardly a tank, so people might just rush it/kill it)?

With it, I'll beable to still run my Blizzard Elimentals at 79 Nora( amplify Frost), so what dou you all think?

79? Are you sure? Or do you plan on keeping damage at 8? Personally, I wouldn't run a frost damage champ under 10 damage, unless it has multi attack. But I suppose with the extra utility of wind aura, it's not too absurd. It just kinda seems a waste for a self amping champ to not benefit from self amping unless there is another amp out. As for the utility itself, if snow becomes more viable wind aura will be a lot nicer. As it stands now it would only benefit with a gale force chasm or against flying units. Both conditions are situational, and with force barrier, bola, and our other great spell Ice Storm, the combo is easy enough to set up anyhow. So my advice is to drop wind aura, and go to 10 damage.

its situational and works best for grounding champs that you gale force over a chasm, but also can be kind've useful for keeping flying champs impeded when they try to cross your Snowfall 2 snow.

The real question is, if you DONT want to run Wind Aura, why on earth would you run the blizzard elemental? He's utterly useless compared to almost all champions without the wind aura. He's still pretty lackluster and overcosted with the Wind Aura, but at least he's unique.

I run one for amp reasons, and flight. 79 nora for 45 hp (pre-bonus/banner), 10 frost damage, and amp. Plus 1-2 attack range. He's not overly effective, but passable. Plus he is my avatar. Plus, every now and then, that little patch of crap he can drop does help. Well, at least it has happened a few turns lately..

Well, BE is way too expensive for what it does, if I increase damage.

I was kind've gonna use him as a pawn/utility rune(Snowfall 2, amp, and perhaps dropping flyers into pits/getting rid of their mobility).

That is really the most common way he is run, I think. I just find it easier to kill things then bother in reducing there mobility these days. We aren't an anti-mobility faction anymore. Well, for now...

Ok, cool. Yea, but even at 10 damage(which is still low compared to other ST champs), he would still be weak as hell, along with costing 98 or so nora, becuase you'll want him with 11 speed as well.

PS. Yea sigh, that terrain nerf screwed ST over bad. The sad thing is, FS has far better terrain control now, then ST ever had, but yet ST's terrain got nerfed.

My point to was to either increase damage or upgrade wind fall, not both. As for 11 speed, I'd say no. I like my amp champs to be cheap, and 79 is already 7-10 nora more then I like spending on an amp.

Yea I know, I was just pointing out what you would need to do to make BE able to do decent damage, which is why, It's kind've pointless to try and make it something he is not, becuase he'll cost an insane amount of nora.
