Applied Force Although, this reduces the damage you do. It enable you to push targets from a further distance allowing your team a easier time reaching heroes. it also can be casted defensively to push away from any danger.
Without Effort Alarak does not have any issues when it come to mana. The possibility of having not to use any mana for an ability that only requires 30 mana is a waste of a talent. Simply, pay attention to your leftover mana.
Power Conduit Similar to the previous talent option, this reduces the mana needed to cast
Lightning Surge. However, this spell only requires a small amount of mana to use, to begin with. Avoid this talent, no matter what.
Double Cross The absolute best talent option in the tier. Your ability
Discord Strike hits targets for the most damage, improving its range & hitting nearby targets is a must. Pick up, this talent as soon as you have a chance.
Cycle of Discord The reduction in cooldown might sound appealing to some. However, it does not compare with the previous talent. Only take, if your team has stun/slow to aid with the fact
Discord Strike has a poor range.
Reckless Strike The reduction in delay is not a big deal, you will get used to it with a proper amount of practice. I suggest selecting another talent in this tier that is more beneficial to you and your team. Avoid this talent.
Extended Lightning Alarak's range on his basic ability:
Lightning Surge already has a large range. I suggest selecting another talent in this tier that is more beneficial to you and your team.
Chaos Reigns Permanently, increasing the damage of your most damaging ability, is an opportunity you should not ignored. Anytime heroes are either stunned/slowed, cast your ability
Discord Strike to increase its damage.
Endless Energy This talent's situational requirement are harder to meet, compared to other talents here. Even if the quest is finished, the reduction in cooldown only saves you a low 2seconds. I suggest taking another talent.
Thunderstruck Its quite rare for the perfect situation to occur, where an enemy stands between you and your victim. This might only happen 3 to 4 times a game. If you decide to pick this, don't be shocked it dosen't pay off.
Counter-Strike: Grants Alarak some much needed survivability and a lot of breathing room for you to evaluate a situation. Typically, this is cast when you are attacked by a melee hero, so you are assured it will counter them.
Deadly Charge This talent is situational. It only becomes practical, if your team has a lot of stuns and slows to keep the enemy team in place, so you can cast this ultimate talent, without any enemies walking away to safety.
Hindered Motion The basic ability from Alaraks' toolkit:
Telekinesis, is fairly easy to hit a target successfully. Because the talent slows targets, it allows your team to either move offensively & engage or retreat from danger.
Dissonance Although the silence sounds appealing, its only really useful if the enemy target has any spells off cooldown to use & could be completely wasted. This talent optional is situational. I suggest taking another talent.
Psychokinesis To begin with, your basic ability from your toolkit:
Telekinesis doesn't do a lot of damage. Also when its about boosting the damage of your spells, there is more talents for improving
Discord Strike damage.
Pure Malice This is the most situational talent in this tier. It depends on your teammates to die and for you to survive. It demands an absurd amount of coordination from you & your team to pay off. I suggest another talent.
Quick Mind This is the most optimal talent in this tier. Reducing the cooldown of the spell:
Telekinesis by a lengthy 6 seconds, allows you to cast it more frequently, if you happen to fail the first time reaching your target.
Projected Force The extra added range bonus seems very beneficial. However, the range extension might go to waste if you don't succeed reaching your intended target & have to wait another 12 seconds until it comes back.
Negatively Charged Its quite rare for the perfect situation to occur, where an enemy stands between you and your victim. This might happen 3 to 4 times a game. If you decide to pick it, don't be shocked it doesn't pay off.
Sustaining Power This talent option is sub-par when compared to other talent in this tier. The health you get back from damaging a hero with the ability:
Lightning Surge is very little upgrading it is completely pointless.
Deadly Charge Alarak has the unique opportunity to take a 2nd ultimate ability, the one you can take is always the opposite of your ultimate at level 10. This talent selection is best, since your team can now hold down heroes.
Hasty Bargain Resetting your entire toolkit can be useful. Although, the previous talent gives a larger amount of damage.
Last Laugh The radius for the teleportation isn't very big & since this talent brings you down to 1 health point, the only choice you have afterwards is to retreat.
Counter-Strike This cant be picked, because a different talent was picked at Level 10.
Alarak completely decimates victims that dare come near him. As opposed to other heroes within this role, he uses bursts of ability damage to inflict pain to his targets. With this in mind, many truly consider him to be a "Mage", placed high up on the ladder with other mages. Typically, mages are very weak and frail. However, this hero has a decent health pool and some added survival benefits. Let's start!
Recall. Also, try & familiarize yourself with the delay.
Sadism: Since this is a very big boost into your damage, it is important to properly position yourself so all your spells land on your intended hero & your team follows up.
