Ability Draft Notes:

Toggling Autocast on swaps this ability out with Call of the Wild Boar. Their cooldowns are separate.

After befriending the strange beast of his childhood, Beastmaster has learned to call to animals in times of need.

• This ability was reworked in 7.34.

• Does not destroy previous summons if this ability is used again before the previous Hawk expires.

• The hawk spawns at a random location within a 300 radius around Beastmaster. It spawns invisible, without any fade time.

• The hawk cannot be controlled at all. Once cast, it automatically flies toward the targeted area and stays there.
  • Its flight toward the target area cannot be interrupted by anything.
  • If the hawk gets its movement disabled (e.g. stunned, rooted, etc.), it resumes moving to the location as soon as it can move again.
  • Taunts and hypnotize cause the hawk to stop for its duration, but it resumes as soon as the taunt expires. The hawk completely ignores fear.

• Hawks do not block neutral creep camps.

• SHARD
  Call of the Wild Hawk can now be directly targeted on an enemy unit or set to Autocast.
  • When unit-targeted, the Hawk flies towards that unit's location upon cast, as if ground-targeted. It does not alter its path if the target moves.
  • If at any time while traveling the target comes within cast range of Dive Bomb, the Hawk casts it on them.
  • If the target gets out of 900 range before the cast finishes, it gets canceled and the hawk resumes traveling to the cast location.
  • However, the hawk may attempt to cast Dive Bomb again if the target comes within range again.
  • Once the hawk reaches the cast location and becomes stationary, it no longer attempts to cast Dive Bomb on the original target.
  • With Autocast On, all Hawks will instantly and automatically cast Dive Bomb on the first viable target in range with the same notes as above, regardless of whether it is still flying or stationary.
  • Acquiring Aghanim's Shard does not retroactively grant Dive Bomb to already summoned Hawks.
• SOULBIND
  Summons one Hawk that casts Dive Bomb on the target unit.

Ability Draft Notes:

Requires drafting Primal Roar to be unlocked.

Nature's rage is timeless, and for those who know the secrets, it's easy to stir the echoes of ire that rejoiced in the downfall of Slom.

• This ability was reworked in 7.33.

• Requires Aghanim's Scepter to be unlocked.

• The damage and healing are provided by an aura.

• The intervals start out slow and reach a crescendo near the end of the duration.

• Drums of Slom has a minimum pulse interval of 0.2 seconds, plus a server tick.
  • Deals damage and heals in the same interval, starting upon cast, the intervals between pulses are 1/0.84/0.7/0.6/0.5/0.4/0.3/0.3/0.2/0.2/0.2/0.2/0.2.
  • When Beastmaster is silenced, stuned, feared, and cycloned, the intervals between strikes will be skipped according to the disable duration, and resumes accordingly to the subsequent interval.

• The heal amount is based on damage dealt, amplifying (e.g. with Wild Axes), or reducing the damage affects the healing value.
  • The heal value is subjected to heal manipulation despite the floating values shown.

• Treats illusions and clones as heroes.
  • Does not affect ancient creeps.

• Successive casts do not stack but refresh the duration and reset the interval delay.
