He's a great support hero with one very solid offensive move.
Without going into too much detail, the more life you are missing the more damage your nuke does, as well as the slow percentage.
The 2nd skill is a defensive skill where you target an ally that links you two together, not like empath but close. The damage the hero you linked takes, goes to you based on a certain % and you cannot go under 10% health from the damage the linked hero takes. If you die you still gain exp when you do this skill.
His 3rd skill is interesting. When you activate it, you lose 20% of your current health and heal surrounding allies based on a certain %. If you die, surrounding heroes gain a significant atk and move speed bonus for a short time.
The ulti seems OP to me. It's a channeling spell that you target an ally hero with. Whoever is a higher percentage of life, it will make the lower hero equal percentage. So if you are 100% hp and your tank is dying, you ulti them and they'll be 100% hp. Same thing goes if you are dying and you target a full hp allied hero.
Blood Chalice is a must on this hero in conjuction with his 3rd skill to make his first skill nuke really strong. Stacking him with hp items is not a bad idea if you want to abuse his first skill with like 2 bracers+str steamboots. Nomes is very solid on him, as is astro.
Puzzlebox would be good for a luxury item.
There's something that I'm not too sure about though. Since the 2nd skill allows you to take damage that a targeted ally takes, would barbed armor work on that 2nd skill? If so, that would be sick!
EDIT: Nvm, just searched the HoN forums, barbed armor doesn't work with his 2nd skill
