A persistent Melee Warrior that rallies his allies.
Cairne Bloodhoof was the High Chieftain of the united tribes of the tauren, chieftain of the Bloodhoof, leader of Thunder Bluff, and the final wielder of the Bloodhoof Runespear. Allying with the Horde upon its arrival on the shores of Kalimdor, Cairne stood as one of its wisest and most venerated leaders, until his unfortunate death in a duel against Garrosh Hellscream.
Tips:
-When Reincarnation is ready, Cairne is able to fight in the thick of things relatively safely. However, it has a very long cooldown and the space before reviving gives the enemy a window to win a fight.
-Shockwave is Cairne's only ranged damage. It is best used to knock enemies away from weaker allies or prevent an escape.
-War Stomp may have a mostly melee range, but its AoE stunning effect can be very powerful for allies to capitalize on.
-Endurance Aura can give your team an edge in a fight. Keep close to your Assassins for the greatest effect, allowing them to finish foes off.
-Thunderclap gives Cairne more AoE crowd control. Reducing the enemy's effectiveness in a fight can win your team several kills.
-Uppercut is more on demand single-target CC for Cairne. Depending on positioning, it makes for good peel or a setup for takedowns.
Strengths:
+High Survivability
+Good Peel
+Good on Aggressive Teams
+Strong Defensive Talents
When Cairne dies, he revives 7 seconds later on the location of his death with 50% of his maximum Health.
