Sarmoth

Voidwalker of the Twisting Nether

Melee Warrior
Voidwalkers are demons spawned from the Twisting Nether. These are most warlocks' minion of choice, as they will follow their master's command unconditionally. They will take any kind of suffering without hesitation. They will carry out their master's command without hesitation - even if it brings their own death. Voidwalkers can sustain vast amounts of damage and will taunt targets, tending to keep the enemy away from their master. A voidwalker's touch brings forth great torment and fear. And thus most warlocks choose a voidwalker, for their unwavering loyalty and skills as a natural tank.
And Sarmoth is no exception. Command his abilities in the nexus to sustain heavy damage and absorb even more. But also focus his offensive abilities where ever they may be needed most. Show great loyalty to your allies and help your team crush your opponents in the nexus.

Woah, you did a great job with this. The abilities are simple and easy to learn, it's not a ****in abathur.
Seems like a mediocre tank compared to leoric or johanna. Although kinda weak dps-wise, he can soak a ton of damage.

The only thing I'd change is void forms minion and merc damage. Since there is a talent which reduces minion and merc damage taken by 50%, I'd buff the resitance of the trait. Make it atleast 50%.

Otherwise, I have no complaints. Great job mate.
