With the change to Envenom, halving the rate of effectiveness it once had (same damage over twice the time), would you still consider it more or less the de-facto pick for level 4? On some people like Sylvanas, the other Tier 2 options are kind of meh so even with the nerf to Envenom there's not much else to take. But considering that Envenom's range is lower than Jaina's abilities, I wonder if Arcane Intellect might be the way to go now: with the Butcher patch you're getting close to your...

@Jaeris Pre-selected talents would be great, and make a ton of practical sense. However, you run the concern of trolls picking a stupid pre-set to further mess with people, like a Sgt. Hammer who picks all the spider mine upgrades lol :/

The AI for Sylvanas when you disconnect makes me want to cry: at level 16 it will without a doubt take Windrunner instead of Cold Embrace (cue Darth Vader's "NOOOOoooooo"), and while this has thankfully only happened to me once, sometimes it will decide to go with stupid God freaking adfgknadbf Possession because bot-Sylvanas is an idiot >_> Again, it only picked Possession once (out of two, so that's not great percentage-wise lol), but holy crap did my team heckled the...

Looking at the range-circle while messing around with Sylvanas in "Try", Withering Fire seems to have a slightly longer range compared to her Auto Attacks. Like 3/4 of a minion size-wise.

I really like this guide; it's based on solid arguments/reasoning and the suggested build utilizing Cold Embrace is a lot of fun and very effective. Above all, the guide is actually comprehensive (unlike some of the other guides out there that claim to be), providing a detailed point/counter-point to the various build options Sylvanas has at her disposal, and when they should (and should not) be considered. The by-map commentary on what you as a player should be considering and looking out...

I finally got around to taking Nexus Frenzy during a game (had to tell myself "Stop! Don't click that Hyperion upgrade!" aloud), and...yeah. You'd be a fool not to take it; it's fantastic lol

I swear, every time I hit level 20 as Raynor I forget to take Nexus Frenzy lol >_> I see that Hyperion upgrade and my eyes sparkle at the AoE-damage possibilities, or the Banshee cloak, I click the upgrade, and then I have to face-palm for being distracted by the shininess again haha It's hard to take (what should be) the clear winner when its effect isn't as immediately noticeable compared to death-lasers from above...
