Should I look into Arthas?

D is also an aa reset, so aa and press d just before the impact. It will result in his d going off instantly.

A friend I used to play with wayyyyyyy back in the beta days used to go trait build- we referred to it as “The Frosty D”

You’ll appreciate that

I love this one but if your team isnt smart the other lvl 13’s are better.
The frost strike 13 is my favorit because it provides a instant slow so they cant escape your E

(Dmg boost on D is also great if your bad at mana managment)

I assume you know how many ranges run around in QM :stuck_out_tongue:

minions are winions! if you have 10 stacks you never run out of mana so long you have something to punch around you

That requires having heroes to hit in the first place.

Getting to 10 is pretty easy, by the end of the game you should expect 20-30 stacks, 40 if you’re lucky.

That said don’t look too deeply into it, there’s a pretty simple Hierarchy for lvl 1 talents:

#1. Go Rime in any situation where there’s a heavy hitter. (Butcher, Greymane, Raynor, Hanzo, Nova, Zuljin, Samuro). This includes Bruiser and Tank builds.
#2. If not the above, do you need to root the backline, or are roots vital to your playmaking ability? Pick Frost Presence.
#3. If none of the above, go Eternal Hunger.

the trait quest at 1 isn’t really for increasing the dmg. You get it so that you can solo lane effectively without having to worry too much about mana. I wouldn’t get if youre maintanking as the root quest is quite powerful, but arthas is one of the best bruisers in the game and i recommend it for ranked.

Arthas is kind of a fusion between a bruiser and a tank, so he can kind of work in both spots.
Can he tank? Yes, against certain comps. Is he a good SOLO tank? Not a good solo pick due to being immobile and having only one hard peel (His root), without being a stonewall like Garrosh or Johanna. His tank kit is also designed more for countering AA melee than casters.
So if you pick him as a tank its a good idea to have a bruiser with hard CC to help shore you up (like imperius) instead of a bruiser without good hard CC, and you don’t want to draft him against a ranged/mage heavy team.

As for playing a bruiser, yeah, he can definitely be built that way without issue. j

A while ago, I was playing Yrel and thought: “Hm, she could use some new skins”. Two days later, BAM, Mechastorm.
