Hello,

I have to disagree with your choice of L20 talent. First of all, Seven-Sided Strike deals percentage based damage to the hero with highest CURRENT health in range. This means that in a teamfight, your ultimate damage will spread on multiple targets. Secondly, doing four more hits is about just as useful as if you just attacked them normally during an active Deadly Reach and that is a waste of L20 talent in my opinion.
You also didn't mention that your Seven-Sided Strike ultimate can be completely avoided when countered by Zeratul's Void Prison, Tyrael's Sanctification or even bad timed Devouring Maw by your Zagara teammate. Of course, you can also waste your ulti - great example at 17:05 when enemies simply walked away from it.

Your L20 main choice should be Epiphany. You mention that Epiphany maybe synergizes with Blinding Speed, but I don't really get why you mention a talent that you didn't recommend even as a backup talent in your guide. You don't need one extra charge and reduced cooldown from Blinding Speed, because L20 Epiphany gives you TWO extra charges.
On the other hand, you completely disregarded the synergy of Epiphany with your Way of the Hundred Fists. It's great for harassing and mainly you used Radiant Dash to finish off escaping enemies (for example, 1st video at 11:50 two times in a row). But the biggest thing is that you can pick off a single enemy hero. With Epiphany, you get 4 Dashes = 1840 damage at L20 just from those Dashes. That gives you the ability to do so.

And finally, Epiphany gives free mana every minute. Mana which lets you heal (and cleanse) your teammates, which lets you use your abilities again. Your game didn't let you quite emphasize this since you had forts and fountains standing and the first teamfight after you hit L20 ended the game, but in longer games it is vital that you keep fighting instead of having to hearth back for mana.


Are you sure? You should pick it sometimes, maybe you'll change opinion :) I'll just say that the ability to save your Kael'thas (for example) from dying will deal much more damage than your Seven-Sided Strike ever could. Also it's much more viable in QMs.

thanks! ill be sure to come back and check out the rest of it. :D

Hey there, and thank you! I am working on some map tips as we speak now, so be sure to check it out in the coming days :)
Soothing Breeze should give you the ability to clear any root, silence, blind or slow, so if it didn't work it might be a bug. The thing I might think've happened, is that you stood very close to the center of his AOE root, cleared the CC with Soothing, but then got caught in it again on your way out. It's pretty stupid, and it should make you immune to CC's for 1-2 seconds so you can properly escape.
If you possibly can, you should check your recording and see if that's the case. If not you can report it as a bug on the Hots forums.

I'm not sure if I'll be going into detail regarding his healing, as there is also a decent guide from Hobo up. With that said, I'll most likely add a healing section into my guide at a later point :)

Hello Retsky, great guide and covers most of everything, i hope to see the map tips and tricks soon. Though i have a question concerning soothing breeze, im not sure since it happened only once, but if you are caught in lets say malfurions roots is it still usable then? Cause it wouldnt let me until the duration was past. Do you also plan on posting a healing guide?
