I admit I was expecting a Ret Paladin Assassin/Bruiser

But seems like she can be a proper Tank/Bruiser as well.

Can't wait for the tsunami of tears of people wanting it to be Turalyon or whoever.

[RH92]

Judging by the showmatch, she is broken as fuck. She just doesn't die.

[Airlick]

About bloody time.

[melzas]

Never been a fan of female dreanei, but they did amazing job with her model. Looks really good!

[Devonitar]

I was like meh until they mentioned bubblehearth talent.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

She looks fun but why not Marrad?

I wanna see Ysera added in soon

Abilities and Talents added to OP.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

I love the whole kit but I hate the hero they chose for it. Literally any other paladin would have been better.

[Deleted]

She looks really fun, finally a draenei in the game

[Tenjen]

about time to have a tank who supports her team off handedly, i really like how her abilities and talents blend together for combos

[Arrashi]

Talk about random hero. No idea why would they go with her for ret paladin, and not tirion.

My guess is they wanted a mace for the knock back but if that’s the case I don’t see why they didn’t pick maraad.

[Mirishka]

Hell yes! I've been hoping for this!

[AwkwardSquirtle]

Giving her bubble hearth is brilliant, good job team.

[melzas]

Probably because hots roster already has an old fart human male paladin, so that would be pretty boring.

Not only that, they made the ret paladin a tank who doesn't even play like a paladin.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

So? Their kits would obviously be much different and Tirion is very much a better character than Yrel.

[KainneAbsolute]

I like the divine steed talent i guess they will nerf all the talents the bring armor to allies or take armor from enemies.
