This Drek'Thar is a typical assassin, that specializes in quick assassinating his opponents and dealing area of effect damage. His Maelstrom Weapon allows him to deal significiant damage with his attacks and apply vasts of on-hit effects, however it doesn't occur often. His Lava Lash is a ranged ability that counts as a attack. His Storm Strike allows him to dash through opponents frequently, but it's high mana cost might leave Drek'Thar vulnerable. His Magma Totem ability allows him to deal vast amounts of damage, but requires to prepare the battlefield earlier and can be easily countered by forcing fight in another place. The first heroic is Spirit Wolves. They attack nearby enemies when activated and protect the caster for their duration. The other one heroic is Elemental Storm - an ability, that causes vast amount of area of effect damage around Drek'Thar. This also causes him to be crowd-control-immune, but disallows other actions.
