Threats to Kharazim with this build

Threat

Low

High

Show all

Threat		Notes
1	Jaina	Her Burst is quiet strong but you counter the [[Ring of Frost]] with the [[Soothing Breeze]] Talent, so she isnt a real threat.
2		No Threat
3	Arthas	High sustain but [[Howling Blast]] is countered by [[Soothing Breeze]]. Be carefull when trying to 1on1 him.
4		No Threat
5		No Threat
6	Johanna	Her blind is annoying as your main healsource comes from your basic attacks.
6	Li Li	Same as Johanna, blind is annoying.
7		No Threat
8	Illidan	His Evasion is a real threat when facing him 1 on 1. But should be not a problem in Teamfights as you got an awesome Areaheal.
9		No Threat
10		No Threat

Hi, my name is Goregan and i am a Tank and Support player. I mainly focus on aggressive support plays. My moba experiance goes back to DOTA for Warcraft 3, through Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends to Heroes of the Storm since early Alpha.

First i really ignored Kharazim as i havent considered him as a very strong pick. After watching some really nice games where Bakery show some impressive plays, i changed my mind and gave him a try, and yeah hes superior and one of the strongest supports in the game.

Please provide feedback to the build and my general guide style as i want to get better with this. As you may already know, English is not my first language :) please keep that in mind before you flame me for grammar reasons.

To the Monks of Ivgorod, the gods are in all things, and their divine will is proclaimed by the Patriarchs. With unshakable faith, Kharazim followed their decree to discover heavenly fire that had fallen upon on the town of New Tristram.

Kharazim is great against high burst assassins like Butcher and Kerrigan as , if timed well, can save your Allies from death in most situations. Also he is great in securing Kills if the enemy is about to get away with just a few hitpoints, and release your fury fists! Also is a Tankkiller, extremely effective against Cho'Gall.

Kharazim also fits great in melee heavy teams and Multi Tank Compositions as you are as often as possible in the frontline dealing damage and healing stuff with your combat trait.

The best way to describe an aggressive support is to just call him "Kill securer". You are there to keep your team alive and got the bonus to be extremely mobile trough your , which is helping you to get in and out of tricky situations and catch fleeing enemies and strike them down.

Lets take a look the talent choices for this build.

Tier 1

In this Tier you choose your Combat Trait. For our Build, the only viably Choice is !

Tier 2

If your enemy has a Nova or Zerathul, go with this handy talent. Everytime you to a target, you reveal a large area arround your target and everything stealthed whats stepping inside for the next few seconds. No more surprise Snipeshots or Zerathul attacks.

If you like, take this. I personally dont like the ward, as it is destroyed to quickly and have a much less effect therefore than the next option.

My choice if no stealth heroes on the enemy team. You can save yourself and your allied heroes from a skillshot or secure a get away.

Tier 3

Instead of a single basic attack, you launch a volley of blows and strike done fleeing targets and SECURE DA KILL!

To be honest, and are viable options but not for the playstyle of this build.

Tier 4

This Ultimate is superior! It can decide Teamfights and saved so many lives and will save much more in the future. Learn to use it right before your target dies as it only got 3 seconds to trigger. Needs training but if you place it well its a gamechanger. For proper usage check out some gameplay of our lord and savior Bakery, as he is one if not the best Kharazim players arround!

This is a real Tank Killer and destroys a Cho'Gall in seconds. I mostly never pick it if my team dont consists of heroes which will never die and got a extremely high sustain and survivability. In my opinion is Divine Palm way more usefull in most scenarios.

Tier 5

Longer lasting means more heals and damage. Exactly what we need. Take this and dont discuss!

However, if you think your heal is good enough and you are always the focus of the enemies caster, you may take but i would not recommend it.

Tier 6

Adds a nice Cleanse effect to your W. However it doesnt affect stuns but helps against Jainas and also Arthas . I almost ever take this talent.

Viable choice but in my opinion the Cleanse effect is much more usefull against most common team comps. If your team running a melee heavy comp and dont fear slows, roots and silences you may take this over the Breeze.

Tier 7

If you just started playing Kharazim and are not well trained in the Way of the Bakery, go with this to reduce the Cooldown of your to 5 Seconds if it gets wasted.

My personal choice, if you are good in placing , take as it is a really nice Shield for all your allies in range. For example really nice to block the Kaelthas annoying bird.

If your choice was the you should consider takign this, as it buffs your Tank Killer potential even more. Just remember: try to catch them alone to use its full potential.

This is the Full-Support-Build for Kharazim, you are still in the middle of the action but your talent choices will go in the direction of a full support using your damage abilities more passively. In teamfights you try to get auto attacks out as often as you can to trigger your trait. Normally you try to hit the enemy tank. Use your to get in range of your carry for the saving .
