A heavy hitting bruiser that can silence and slow enemies.
Combat Trait
1
Rage
Use instead of mana. Rage does not regenerate, and instead requires Garrosh to auto-attack or receive damage. Garrosh gains 20% Rage for every basic attack he lands (does not have to deal damage) and 10% Rage for every 100 damage he receives. At higher percentages of Rage, Garrosh's movement speed and basic attack damage are increased.
Primary Abilities
1
Shoulder Bash
Q
30 Rage
15 second cooldown
Garrosh charges a short distance in a line. At the end of the charge, Garrosh strikes the area directly in front of him, stunning enemies within a small area for 1 second and slowing them for 3 seconds. Enemies caught in the initial charge are slowed for 3 seconds, but are not stunned. Garrosh can choose to end the charge early by activating the ability again.
2
Strangle
W
30 Rage
10 second cooldown
Garrosh throws a chain at a target hero within a short distance and connects them for 2.5 seconds. Once connected, target hero is silenced for the .5 seconds. Chained heroes that try to move away from Garrosh are slowed by 60%. If either Garrosh or the chained hero move out of the area of the chain, the ability is broken. Stuns do not break the chain.
Can use while charging with Shoulder Bash
3
Rend
E
40 Rage
7 second cooldown
Garrosh swings Gorehowl in a cone in front of him. Enemies within the area of the swing take moderate damage, are slowed for 1.5 seconds, and have damaged applied to them over time. If the enemy is chained by Garrosh, this ability is enhanced. Enemies that stand closer to Garrosh can avoid the ability's damage and slow effect.
Can use while charging with Shoulder Bash.

I'm aware that some of the numbers for this hero are missing, but I want to give a general idea of what Garrosh should be as a warrior. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
