Admiral Proudmoore has a Pistol in his left hand.
Would it be logical if he had Spell animation with shooting? Yes
Would it be logical if he had Ability that activates this spell? Yes
Pleas Fix that.
As i recall (probably before a patch or two before reforged came to) on the fourth level thrall would send out wind riders to attack him, and proudmoore’s 2nd attack would trigger, I remember he took out three with two shots. it’s a vague memory (9-11 year old memory, might be able to confirm in the editor and or the 2nd level with batriders) but I recall it’s his anti-air attack.
EDIT: turns out it’s not true, weird; I strongly remember him using it as an anti-air attack…
I suspect it is art related. Possibly to concept art for WoW. This is similar to how Raynor had a bayonet in Heroes of the Storm but only after a couple of years and by huge popular request did he get unique melee animations to use it rather than shooting enemies at point blank range.
