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
Rolling Thunder
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
Ride The Lightning
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
Follow Through
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 Giant Killer & Nexus Blades flawlessly and then all of that combo's with Forked Lightning!

Level 10
Sundering
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 Sundering just because it's another combo for your abilities.

Level 13
Giant Killer
Now we all know Thrall has really bad attack speed so why not put this talent with Follow Through 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
Forked Lightning
This is the point where this build really shines and your rotation (I know, feels like we're playing an MMORPG) will be:
Chain Lightning/ Sundering -> Auto Attack -> Feral Spirit -> Auto Attack -> Chain Lightning -> Auto Attack -> Chain Lightning/ Windfury -> Auto Attack!

Level 20
Nexus Blades
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.

Pros & Cons Top

Pros

    High hero/siege damage.
    Very high burst as long as you can root or get near them.
    Can poke efficiently.
    Mobility

Cons

    Very dependant on mana (bring Malfurion).
    Not a build you can just play and win.
    Half dependant on crowd control.
