Re: Newcastle buff to increase utility
A stun ability? What difference does that make? You revive someone, the enemy keep their distance but still in line of sight, then they mow down the person who was revived with no hp negating everything you just did. A stun changes none of that. The issue is that Newcastle needs a gold shield to even make his passive useful. Otherwise you are just feeding your third member to the wolves while you scooter your ally off into the distance, and to be instantly downed if anyone pursued you.
Newcastle needs the ability to provide health and shields to people being revived, but I would not recommend that be free like the gold shield. Instead the ability to store health and shields from inventory into his passive effect would be ideal.
