Artanis, Hierarch of the Daelaam - Pre released

[Gallahadd]

Looks fun, but let's not kid outselves, he's NOT a warrior. His kit SCREAMS assassin, his talents are all fairly standard assassin stuff, the only roughly Warriory things he has are his passive and that blind ultimate.

I might pick him up, but I don't think he'll be replacing Johanna as my go to warrior any time soon.

Btw, the OP is missing the talents that aren't specific to the hero.

Thanks! Updated.

Phase Prism will be awesome for catching out those who over extending the early game, the range isn't massive but it's big enough to drop someone right under a tower/fort when they are out of range initially.

Otherwise his kit doesn't look to tanky, does depend on how much his D will protect him.

[Fallen Angel]

He's going to be incredibly tanky assuming his W will work towards resetting his shield, which I see no reason why it won't. Add into that Triple Strike at 13 and Force of Will at 20 and your shield is almost always going to be up.

Since the ability specifically mentions Basic Attack, I don't see why it wouldn't. Other heroes with similar ability synergy have the same effect.

day 1 fucking buy. Zealots are my favourite units in StarCraft and I had been hoping they added a "Zealot" type Warrior, even though I know Artanis isn't technically a Zealot and is more of a higher ranking Templar he seems the closest so far to what I wanted. His abilities and talents do not disappoint.

I may actually end up going back to Warrior for a while.

Yeah, my warrior games count is less than half of what the other classes have (actually I only played Chen to 10 and Tyrael to 8, rest is somewhere 1-6). Hopefully Artanis will be my new go-to tank.

If you buy the starcraft deluxe edition expansion you get him and the void mount for 'free'.

I'll admit, I bought the deluxe edition for the HotS and D3 goodies (That probe pet is too cute).

He looks fun, now I might have a Warrior that I actually like to play when I get the daily.

[ldev]

My god, same company that released Rexxar also made this? This is epic as fek.

Already preordered the Collector's Edition. Want to complete the collection since I have both WoL and HotS as CEs. Artanis looks really fun to me and since Warrior is my most played roled by far, I now have another one I can play often. =P

Cool new Blizzard video involving Artanis if you're into that kind of thing.

[DesoPL]

My hype is bigger! Bring it on blizz! My body is ready!

[Ryme]

My life for Aiur!

I love the Protoss heroes so damn much.

[ttak82]

Talents look very OP at the moment. Will have to see it on live ofc do find out.

It does, watch this and look closer at his cooldowns.

Myth confirmed!

I wanna know how fast Prism moves, and if you can cast it while Q dashing

As in, initiate by dashing in, chucking E at a squishy, having it land as you return and then having your position swapped so they're in your team and you're ported back into theirs
