This is my way to go build for Uther even for diamond+ ranked.
(Lvl 20 Uther, 67%+ wr. 15 games in ranked as him so far, all in diamond+ up to vs GMs, 70%+ wr.)
Uther is best tank!

You can be a sololaner, healer, secondary healer/tank as him, you can dual and bully and support. Man, Uther is an awesome Hero!

Wish they restored the 10 Armor they took away from him. It legitimized him as a bruiser or offtank and not just a healer. That adds up to a ton of damage deflected over the course of multiple fights.

Against a melee heavy team or with low burst.
But I still take Silver Touch more often.
One completed you can protect yourself from poke at longer range, and shocking an opponent for health and armor is FREE.

I think it depends on the enemies.
I believe it does let you top off your allies when out of combat when combined with shock though.

I hate to take it with shock.
Rather take Benediction for the stun train.

Rather attempt to just not die with a Divine Hurricane.

1v1’d Zeratul in several games.

With shock you have 25 armor almost half the time.
Since armor isn’t additive any more, I don’t think that’d be all that necessary.
But Shock almost feels mandatory if you’re going to be doing any kind of tanking, which is a shame because the other two talents seem like they want to help tank Uther.

I tried a Uther main tank combo with a friend in a double support comp. And we absolutely rolled the enemy team by about the 12-15 minute mark.
They kept underestimating my damage mitigation, and so did I tbh

Not actually a good main tank, tried, lost horribly :rage:

He can be a decent maintank even in ranked though its best for your team to have him be a bruiser. Its great fun and because he’s a second support and a frontline you can get 2 dmg dealers rather than 1. With a double support comp the second dmg dealer is a solid addition.

Believe it or not, Uther can actually main-tank with a second main Healer.

So long as you have ‘good’ damage dealers, he can keep up bruising or pseudo tanking.

Uther can also work very well as a solo lane bruiser in a double healer comp. He is probably the closest thing to a true multi-class hero.

Uther is a surprisingly good main tank. Maybe not anub good but playable.
I see him more often than you would think in ranked. He lacks engage but has good CC and brings additional burstheal, armor + cleanse.

I like playing Main Tank Uther, but what is your talent build for solo lane? His wave clear is like Nova level bad, although he can bully other heroes out of lane. I’ve double soaked as Nova before, but it’s quite a tedious process.

Tank Uther should at the moment be the usual way to play him. He’s not valuable as a solo healer, since he lacks sustained heal and mana, but as soon as you pick him in the main tank role (togeather with a waveclear bruiser), he works very well. I would also suggest to switch on lvl 1 between Hammer and Touch, and on lvl 16 Benediction is still a strong alternative.

It’s pretty much the same as the tank build, but with Holy Fire at 4 for the extra clear rather than Holy Shock. Play him more like a lane bully similar to Yrel or Imperius, rather than a waveclear hero like Blaze or Malthael.
