This version of Garrosh is inspired by his Sha infused form and, while not perfectly balanced, aims at making him a unique warrior, able to use both brute force and spells to lockdown enemies and protect teammates.
He completely lacks mobility and gap-closing skills but has outstanding self sustaining and crowd control abilities. He can dive recklessly into the battlefield, or I should say he must, as he needs to be damaged in order to Empower is Abilities. He gains Hubris stacks whenever he suffers damage equal to 3% of his maximum Health.
His Heroic Abilities use all available Hubris and become more powerful the more stacks are consumed. Touch of Y'Shaarj grants Garrosh even more survivability while Whirling Corruption can be used strategically to isolate enemies or to block key areas and passages.
