Introduction Top

Hi all!

My name is VimBlast or Vim and this is my first guide!
I'm a rank 1 Player on EU and my main Heroes are Tyrande, Sylvanas & Kaelthas (according to HotS).

Originally this build was a gimmick/joke that I thought I'd enjoy regardless of winning but found out that it's actually a pretty competitive build surprisingly and I wanted to share it!

Probably the best Thrall build to date because we all know Thrall isn't that great at the moment BUT the reason he isn't great is because people try and utilize Windfury when that's not his full potential.

Quick Video to show how powerful this build can be:

Talent Thoughts Top

Level 1

This is a talent that follows the "gimmick" and also is a pretty strong talent to get your mana back sort of efficiently. You're going to lose a lot of mana with this build so you will need some kind of mana gain!

Level 4

Now this talent is honestly probably the worst talent in the selection BUT it is part of the gimmick which later on you'll find really bumps up your potential with hero/siege damage. Think of this talent as a builder to the later game!

Level 7

This is purely because the rest of the talents don't follow the chain lightning meta that I'm creating so we had to use something that would combo with our build and auto attacks is the first thing that really works well! This talent with & flawlessly and then all of that combo's with !

Level 10

Now this is completely up to you depending on the situation and who you're agains't, more a less all of the time you want to take just because it's another combo for your abilities.

Level 13

Now we all know Thrall has really bad attack speed so why not put this talent with and make it a sheen proc e.g. Chain Lightning x1 -> Auto Attack x1 and then run away, you only want to use windfury for more damage.

Level 16

This is the point where this build really shines and your rotation (I know, feels like we're playing an MMORPG) will be:
/ -> Auto Attack -> -> Auto Attack -> -> Auto Attack -> / -> Auto Attack!

Level 20

Now... more damage on auto attack AND a slow... we're being treated here. This just collaborates with all of our other talents perfectly and you'll see a massive increase in damage (you should already be the highest in either hero/siege damage depending on what kind of player you are.
