Vol'jin

Shadow Hunter

“To be a shadow hunter is to master chaos.”
— Vol'jin


Shadow Hunters use shadow magic/chaos magic to both cure and curse. They walk the line between the shadows and the light. Some Shadow Hunters became so in tune with chaos, that they could stand in chaos fire and heal.

Shadow Hunters can channel Loa. While channeling Loa they gain benefits from the Loa.
Vol'jin is one of the most powerful shadow hunters.

Vol’jin is a tactical genius and skilled fighter. With the aid of the Loa, Vol’jin brings a variety of utility to his team, while punishing his enemies Mercilessly.

Vol'jin is a specialist that focuses on reducing enemy healing, mitigating damage for allies, and zone control.


At level 1 Vol’jin can choose 1 of three totems that will exist on his 1 key. These will have a 30 second cooldown.

At level 10, Vol’jin chooses a rush’kah that allows Vol’jin to channel a powerful Loa.

Vol’jin is a master Tactician and can change his fighting style to adapt to the situation. With a powerful Loa helping him already, Vol’jin’s level 20 talents focus on his combat style.

Playstyle

Vol'jin is an aggressive front line specialist that brings a kit full of utility for zoning out areas, reducing enemy healing, and punishing auto attackers and self sustain tanks.

I hope you enjoy this, I worked really hard to stick with Lore and incorporate skills Vol'jin already had, while creating a fresh set of skills that may already exist Hots, but in a different way.
