Rend Blackhand

The Ruler of the Dark Horde

Rend Blackhand is the ruler of the Dark Horde and is considered to be a great threat to Thrall's mastery of the Horde. Rend is the bloodthirsty son of the former Warchief of the Horde, Blackhand the Destroyer. He believes that he is the rightful Warchief of the Horde due to lineage, and seeks to overthrow Thrall. To this end, he has allied the forces of the Dark Horde with Nefarian. The two have used their combined resources to re-create the chromatic dragonflight, which they hope to unleash upon the world once again. His mount is a massive chromatic drake named Gyth.

A True Muticlass.

I made this concept because as much as I like Varian, hes not a muticlass hero. The basic concept of Rend is to have more than 1 kit in every build, while being able to carry the game in all aspects of the game(Siege, Hero damage, XP, ***it/takdedowns). Has good self sustain and probably the best lane tools of all the Tanks and most assassins.

Pros:
* Average health pool that scales average but with quest can be up there with stitches late game.
* Lane tools allow Rend to soak multiple lanes and enpower ally minions.
* Eye of Rend keeps stealth heroes in order and gives a slight counter to Valeera and Zera.
* Blackrock Reincarnation is something I thought Blizzard would've added by now, allowing a hero to choose certain talent levels over.
* Dragonskin is the late game tool that will make his Tank version on par with the tier one tanks.
* Muticlass/Mutichoice: Plenty of options to play the game the dictates from Spell armor, to physical armor, stuns, and movement speed dictation.

Cons:
* Some downfalls to all the powerful armors and reductions. (Trying to balance them out as time goes on)
* Slower movement and attack speed (again, trying to balance it with everything else)
* Cannot be a stationary tank. As roots and stuns are slightly countered, Rend is still able to be Burst down by high powered assassins.
* *** good as frenzy looks, Like Zul'Jin, Is could be a talent that leads to meaningless deaths and for Heros like Samuro, Zera, Chromie and Valeera, that's enough time to wipe Rend off the map.
* Would probably be better in a 2 tank comp.


Suggestions and opinions are welcome, will be adding and fixing things over time to keep up with changes in game.
