Something bugs me a lot about his mana costs. They're rather high, and he has.. No base mana regen? Ouch.

Secondly, his passive would make it more difficult for him toplane. If you poked at the enemy champ, you would pull some minion aggro. Since you are melee, its safe to assume you'll be in range for the melee minions too. Hitting the opposing lane could cost a total of 60 mana in minion retaliation. I highly suggest allowing it to only activate against champions and monsters.

You can also be easily bullied out if the laner forces you to burn up all your mana with constant poking, again, because you have no base mana regen. If he got base mana regen and his Q + E had their mana costs tuned down, his top lane would be a lot less shakey.

I love his kit. It's really unique, and everything about his kit has a... titanic feel to it. His Q just feels empowering, stomping around and crushing the earth around him.

Is his Soul Focus on a global range? That might be a little too strong, especially since the effect is instant. You might want to add a max range, or give it a pre-cast channel time that scales with range. I mean, it would be pretty painful to play any ADC if Obolias can just suck up my damage for 1.5 seconds from across the map.

110 mana is a lot to cast a level one non-ultimate ability, especially with that kind of mana cost. Consider a scaling cost or just lowering it overall. I mean, with a 30 second rank 1 cooldown, whatever cost you give it would've been regenerated by then (If you have some mana regen :P).

I might have a little issue with the ultimate. The range bonus to Retaliating Soul feels kinda useless, what with not too many champs having global range. also, the damage cap might be kinda broken, depending on its execution. Does it cap burst damage, or stacked damage? For example, if I did 10 attacks for 100 damage, would it cap? If I did 1 attack for 1000 damage, how would it cap?

Well, I can't balance well either, so I shouldn't be complaining, but it's a great idea! A little more work and it'll be even better ;D
