My guess is he will be probably an healer or support. Maybe an bruiser, but doubtfull on that.

[ro9ue]

I dunno if they did this just for the hero release, but I noticed when I queued for Storm League it had the Stormwind music playing.

[Proskill]

announcement when?

[Romanticide]

They made him a Holy Priest! It's my current main spec in WoW, this makes me so happy ♥

Ranged healer? So he's slashing with his sword and bolts of Light shoot out, or something like that?

[ophion1990]

Holy Word: Salvation looks kinda bad? He has to cast it and it's a channel, so it can be interupted. Lightbomb, on the other hand, sounds pretty good. It works great with heroes like Diablo, Anub or ETC, who already have a stun, while he can also root a target for 1.25 seconds to likely get the stun from Lightbomb off. His W sounds interesting enough aswell but his Q looks like a huge liability, a 0.75 second root every time you wanna heal... yeah. That's assuming he can't move while casting, ofcourse. We'll have to wait and see what the range on it is, maybe he'll just play like Ana. Leap of Faith is nice, though.

Edit: Anduin gets protected aswell, even though it says allied heroes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nvm, I guess.

Abilities and talents added to the OP.

[Cobman]

Leap of Faith is something u can troll with or save someone. Looks decent, but i dont like that he doesnt use sword at all

He only uses sword for W and R, basic attacks are sparkles from his palms.

[DesoPL]

I can't wait for all those Genji mains, who will get leap of faith from Anduin, and then do suicide dash and blame healer for dying.

[RadasNoir]

Outside of the possibility that he might wield both Holy and Shadow magic, I was kinda "Meh" towards the idea of Anduin being in the Nexus. Not only does it turn out that he won't be wielding both after all, but his abilities in general seem kinda...weird. Mechanically speaking, anyway. Guess I'll have to actually see them in action before I really make a judgement about them, though.

Anduin, King of Stormwind Dialogues

That being said, since I don't play WoW anymore, this is kind of my first look at "grown up" Anduin outside of the main BFA cinematic...is he this much of an adorkable nerd in WoW as well?

[Trumpcat]

My golden boy has arrived and with the original voice actor, I'm dying!

[Fetus Rex]

Lol he looks like a beta boy pussy. Now his personality matches his looks.

[Zandalariprelate]

Lol Alarak quotes with this little sht is totally hilarious. Alarak is now my animal spirit

[Nerraw]

Spotlight is hitting around Anduin's actual release on live servers next week.

[Sharby]
