I'd be more concerned about the skills....

[FrostedMike]

I don't know if you posted just to save your progress or not.

If that is the case, at least start with sharing the theme you thought about and what is his role in a squad (damage dealer, support, tank, etc.).

Geting Horizon Zero Dawn Hephaestus robotic R&D vibes

The stats are a bit out of wack you could fallow nidus precedent for armor and health scaling

Sounds like a pointless roulet, it would be more reliable to just scale drops with the enemy base hp ( hp before level scalinag )

part 2  The higher your armor value above base (from rank 30 base not unranked) your aggro pull will increase capping at 90% chance to be targeted after this cap is hit higher armor will extend the range of your aggro pull

If you want a agro tank just giving him a taunt skill is better than relying in agro mechanic

part 3 for every black iron you have you'll gain 1 armor capping at 6000 additional armor (cap is affected by power strength)

 the precedent set by atlas is 1500 , having for times more is unresonable

Ability 1 Anvil Drop Energy cost 25 Duration unranked 20 seconds rank 30 45 seconds  range unranked 10 meters rank 30 20 meters  Hephaestus anvil dead drops from the forge dealing 1000 impact damage and 1000 heat damage to whatever it lands on causing them to drop 3 black iron on death while the anvil is out if you hit it with a melee attack it will put out a wave of damage scaling from the melee weapon when an enemy dies it will drop 2 black iron at 100% 3 at 75% 4 at 50% 5 at 25% and 6 at 12.5%

Could create afk farming strattegeis and favors camping. I would keep it as is but add a small cap on the number of hits the anvil can take, something like the anvil has a portion of the HP of the enemies it hit when it felt.

Ability 2 Weapon Tempering Energy cost 50 Black Iron cost 100 Duration unranked 30 seconds rank 30 50 seconds Hephaestus tempers his squads weaponry giving all players weapons a 10% damage increase and 30% crit chance increase (this includes exalted weapons

if the 30% critical chance is adicitve it is overpowered if is mutiplicative it is too weak

Ability 3 Spartan Shields Energy cost 75 Black Iron cost 200 Duration unranked 30 seconds rank 30 50 seconds Hephaestus Summons spartan protection giving all players 50% evasion chance (basically bullet dodge except i forget the name for it in this game) 40% damage reduction from enemies behind you (180 degrees of the frames backside) and 20% sprint boost

Frankly I would just make this skill eneable automatic blocking without any animation lock ( you block regarless of having a melee weapon out and blocking has no animation lock )

Ability 4 Zeus's Lightning Energy cost 100 Black Iron cost tap 200 held 500 Energy drain per shot 30  Hephaestus summons the his favorite weapon a sniper with no scope sway you can either tap for a weaker version of the weapon and hold cast for the better version (I'm only writing out the stats for the held version) the sniper has a 2x 3x and 6x zoom 80% crit chance 2x crit damage 2000 piercing 2000 impact 2000 slash and 2500 electricity when an enemy dies it will drop 3 black iron at 100% 4 at 75% 5 at 50% 6 at 25% and 7 at 12.5%

This is the weirdest skill on the kit. It is a bit odd. I know it is a reference to zeus lighiting but having it as sniper is extremily odd and having access to just Zeus lighting and not any other of his works is odd. Personally I would make it like this 

Tap to cycle , hold to cast 

can choose betwenn 

Arrows of appolo - Crossbow firing explosive fire bolts 

Thunderbolt of Zeus - trwoing weapon ( similar to staticor ) 

Sandals of Hermes - mobility bonus 

Colossus of Rodes - summons a autpmated "necramech" to summon by your side 

 

If you want a bit of reference for forging related skill you could have a look at this concept from Jado 

 

Overall solid idea but needs a lot of polish

Here the first round of polishing hopefully this is better than the previous build
