[Sir Andy]

Don't own Kharazim or Tyrael (or Kerrigan, but I hate her). I know I want Kharazim, but I can decide if I want Tyrael.

Tyrael is one of my favorites after thrall. I remember playing him when he was on free rota after launch and I enjoyed him. Good survivability, good damage (because he can dive fast and shield himself). And all of this is without really trying sanctification/holy ground or other shielding talents which add to the depth that he offers.

Depends on what you want out of a warrior. He's personally not my style. I prefer lots of hard CC and lane bully potential. My go to warriors are Leoric and Anub'arak.

It's great that we already have the next week's rotations up early XD I can plan ahead for whom I want to spend the last day of my free stimpack on.

[AeneasBK]

oh god free illidan week

No Novatool? Has to count for something?

[Wrathonia]

Pretty surprised they haven't announced the new rotation yet. I really hope Malfurion fucking goes away for at least a month. Same with Muradin. I'm so tired of auto-select favoring them.

I am so sick of Malf being on free rotation. Take him out for a month, please.

He's not on it any more often than Raynor, Muradin, Valla, ETC, and LiLi...

[ttak82]

Oh yes, Artanis on free rotation and I got a stimpack active! Interesting to see that he is a newer hero and available to low level accounts. Also a good time to check out kael and see if I want to get him before Jaina.

When is lost vikings going to be in the free week

[Tenjen]

Loking at the post alone and not having seen all her talents. she's plenty well defined vs other heroes.

She's a heavy hitting nuker with high reload but low ammo with a requirement for very good aiming and positioning. Much more so than other heroes.

Skillset

Trait - Critical Mass: participating in a kill or assist lowers cooldowns of all skills (including Heroics).
Magic Missile: skillshot that shoots three missiles at a target point. The missiles come from the sides of Li-Ming - not a conventional straight line skillshot.
Arcane Orb: moderate speed projectile with very long range, dealing more damage the further away enemies are.
Teleport: can be used to quickly move around and avoid skillshots - very short cooldown. Lower range than Bolt of the Storm or Valla's Vault, for instance.
1st Heroic - Disintegrate: channeling wave of energy that is aimed with the cursor (probably like Lightning Breath) and deals damage from long ranges. Good in narrow chokepoints.
2nd Heroic - Wave of Force: can detonate a ranged "telekinetic bomb", knocking enemies away from its center and cancelling channeling. Good against powerful backline characters like Morales to disrupt her healing, or Nazeebo to disrupt his Ravenous Spirit.

Miscellaneous

Blizzard wanted her to be a very high skill cap character, based on community feedback on this matter.
Most of her damage is in her ability to land her skillshot. Very easy to understand, but very hard to maximize her potential.
Her abilities already have low cooldowns, so what Critical Mass does is boost her damage potential by just a bit.
She is definitely mana constraint due to Critical Mass, and that's used as a balancing tool as well. Does have talents for better mana efficiency.
She has quite a few talents based on the source content. At level 16 she has Arcane Orbit and Diamond Skin for instance.
There's a pure (safer) Magic Missile build that is a very flexible build.
There's an Arcane Orb build that's all about long range poking - hard to land but she can deal massive damage from afar.
There's a Teleport build that makes the skill more aggressive and is all about teleporting into the fray.
