Updated for February changes, namely removed of Swift Storm, addition of Hardened Shield and the new version of Fury of the Storm.

February changes: Swift Storm Removed from the game for obvious reasons. Fury of the storm Re-added to Zagara and changed. It used to add a little bit of splash to all attacks. It now adds a lot of damage to your primary attack and a good chunk of splash, but only once every 5 seconds. This gives it a lot more burst potential for a team fight. In my testing this still seems to multiply with Medusa Blades. Attacking a tower with 2 adjacent walls shows a 500 and a 200 on the tower....

Updated what I could for the beta patch. I have to play with it more. The change to merc lord changes Gazlowe's focus a lot. It's not nearly as strong to grab mercs and let them do work while you run off to do objectives or help your team somewhere else. Robo Goblin is a lot more intriguing now, though I'm still not sure taking PvE talents is viable in this game.

Another undocumented change: there is now a cooldown between double hydra casts. You used to be able to spam them. Probably not a big deal, but I keep forgetting to use my second one vs. giants since I used to cast creep tumor, roaches, hydra, (instant) hydra, and then banelings. Also confirmed the dimensional shift does immediately despawn hydras (hunter killer). Someone doubted that statement. Stealth moves and invulnerability moves can too, but only if the target doesn't become...

Updated level 1 talents a bit. Demo has more value now that towers give XP. It still doesn't seem to give a lot of value unless your team devotes to helping push your lane and you actually get a tower or two, though. Late game it provides very little benefit, but if you get to level 10 first, it might not matter.

Undocumented patch change: Fury of the Storm dropped in favor of Swift Storm, presumably to for the simple choice of Bolt of the Storm vs. upgrading your heroic in all circumstances. Swift Storm is so bad for level 20.

Changed back my level 4 choice based on the December changes to promote (15 second duration). It was good when you could use it just before leaving a lane or while running by a pack on the way to another objective. But with the 15 second duration, it's really only good if you're actively pushing. With Gazlowe after level 7 you should either be grabbing mercs and/or working with your team. You will probably only be pushing buildings with a group of heroes, at which point the extra minion...

It's now 1.5 (+.3125 per level). So reconstitution gives 4.5 + .9375 per level per second. In testing I found a few things: - This regen is in addition to what shows on your character screen. - The 300% bonus does NOT affect base regen. - The creep regen shows up as a ticking green number while regen does not. - The 300% definitely does not affect rapid incubation's amount. I get 25% of my health on or off creep. - It's hard to judge game seconds, but rapid incubation does not...

Updated for December patch. Creep regen (and therefore Reconstitution) got better. Infest got worse.

Added tips for playing against Zagara.
