OGRE MAGI

One of only two melee intelligence heroes, on the surface the Ogre Magi appears to be a regular offensive spellcaster with limited buffing capabilities. However, the true power of this hero is revealed when his passive Multicast skill comes into play. Similar to a passive critical strike, Multicast allows the Ogre Magi's spells to hit multiple times. His Fireblast spell is a decent but unremarkable spell on its own, but a Multicasted Fireblast is capable of dealing huge damage and stunning a target for a long time. Bloodlust provides a great speed bonus to a single target, and a Multicasted Bloodlust gives that same bonus to the Ogre's entire team. Ignite is a fairly weak single target slow without Multicast, but gains a large area of effect with more levels of Multicast. Although he is not very threatening without it, the Ogre Magi becomes quite deadly once he starts throwing Multicasts around.
