Thaurissan [Melee Assassin]

Emperor of Blackrock

Lore:
Dagran Thaurissan was the king of the Dark Iron Dwarves and ruled his clan from Shadowforge City. His ancestor had summoned Ragnaros to the Molten Core in a desperate attempt to stop the Bronzebeards and Wildhammers. Now enslaved by the Fire Lord, the Dark Irons fought an unending battle against Nefarians orc forces.

Being a cunning and ruthless leader he captured the Bronzebeard princess Moira. King Magni send a team of assassins to kill him and bring back Moira. The princess though fell in love with the passionate monarch and gave birth to his son and heir.

While the Dwarven clans in the World of Warcraft are locked in seemingly endless bickering and constant disputes, the Nexus has brought back the mighty Thaurissan to life for a second chance to show everyone the power of a true Dark Iron Dwarf!

Gameplay:
Thaurissan plays as a mobile and quick melee assassin. He uses fire magic in combination with his mighty hammer Ironfoe to deliver lightning-fast blows and crush his enemies defenses in a matter of seconds.

Strengths: Thaurissan is very mobile thanks to his ability "Landslide" that has a very short cooldown. He also lacks mana so he is only dependant on his health. His melee attacks might not be the strongest but he has a very high attack speed. The passive trait "Ironfoe" gives his attacks a build-in rotation that can push enemies back quickly.

Weaknesses: Being an assassin Thaurissan doesn't have that much health and can be bursted down quickly if uncareful. He also lacks the strong, constant selfhealing of Illidan and similiar heroes. Like most assassins he also has a limited amount of CC.

Health: 1890(+4%)
