Passive ability with a buff?

I need a dummy passive ability that shows a buff on hero.
I would prefer not to use crippled auras for this.

Any ideas among object editor expertz?

Item immolation, but it has an icon.

Immolation is aura, I said I don't want auras.

And I want it to have icon ffs. (and a buff)

Tornado slow aura

I can't think of an ability that would do this besides a self targeting aura.

This is indeed the ultimate in self-buffing. Take it or leave it. It stacks with different abilities of itself, has no side effects, and I believe it doesn't even have an icon. Teh sex.

it just is not removed instantly, or is there another way to do so?

Ja, tornado slow aura + dummy passive == what you want

Alternatively..

Spiked Carapace
Engineering Upgrade(crashes if you add it to a unit)

Yeah, it's called call UnitRemoveAbility(MyUnit, 'B000') when you remove the ability itself and B000 is replaced by the buff id for the tornado slow aura. Quite simple, really.

auras does not change level instantly. (on the buff description)

So many blind people here...

It's either you use the aura or you use nothing. That's what we're saying, no passive skill in the game that isn't an aura has a detectable buff to my knowledge, and I've been searching for a long, long time.

You just got pwned: Spiked Carapace. 'AUts'

... or not

It seems that Spiked Carapace is modified thorns aura looooool.

Ok I get it, slow aura mrnjpfh....
