Artanis and Rexxar? Fucking nice.

well you don't actually control her directly. Probably a slight step up from normal heroes but not like vikings or something
I mean do you not send her to attack and can recall her? Admittedly I haven't read much about all the info, but I saw he becomes "vulnerable"? If she dies?

I've been away from this game for a while (thanks, Witcher) and I see a lot has changed. Some cool heroes being announced and Butcher/Leoric have been launched. I feel so out of the loop haha.

Artanis looks sooo cool. Will probably pass on Monk and rexxar.
Though the impulse to buy rexxar and only attack core over and over is tempting.

I see the Rexxar info from Reddit, but it appears no one posted the Kharazim info from Reddit yet:

I had a lot of fun with Monk.
Monk is indeed a Tyrande/Tass-style support, based on what people are saying from the demo.
No... Please. No.

As he should be. Wouldn't make sense for any of the diablo main characters to be full support.
Unfortunate that we are still lacking more full support though.
Sure. Blowing everything on screen up in a chain explosion of fire is super boring.

Just got back from dropping off my son and got to look at the news. Thoughts:
Well he should be at least a 33% upgrade theoretically. He does at least have a healing/support ultimate which looks to be pretty useful. Seems like he'll be a nice pairing with melee.
EDIT: Overwatch appeared on my Battle.net app. y u do dis Blitzaard
- Still hype for monk. BELIEVE. His Q sounds mighty useful.
- Monk abilities look gorgeous
- Rexxar is a warrior? Ranged? Wut?!
- I bet Rhaknar had a mess to clean up when he saw Misha
- Still concerned with how viable Misha will be without just getting insta-gibbed like all summoned pets do (though she is constant).
- His R2 (Unleash the Boars) is almost exactly like Fortress from Vainglory's ultimate. Pretty neat.
- Treasure goblin mount? WTF lol
- Blackheart's Doubloon mount bb. <3 u alrdy
- Judgement Uther finally? Plzkthx
- Earthbreaker Thrall looks good. Now just give him a little buff...
- Visually Artanis looks cool as hell
- The mechanic for Infernal Shrines seems better than the BoE one, IMO
- If it does target heroes it'll have to be borderline OP/raid boss level to not be useless from my POV
- With two maps visually the same do you think they'll end up retiring one?

I wonder what the catalyst is for all these warriors? I mean we could use them up to Leoric, but now it's kind of overwhelming the other classes (if Artanis comes third. If not and it's something else, /shrug).
Pretty damn excited they seem to be trying to keep to their word on content timetables, though. I thought we might hit a dry spell.

Is that an uther skin in paladin tier 2 I see? This game is going to cost me a fortune... ㅠㅠ
They talked before about how they've got a master spreadsheet of all the heroes coming down, including those that are just ideas and early concepts, and how's its partly driven by the community's interest and ideas. But clearly it's also partly driven by filling missing role/franchise combinations like the Diablo Support and Starcraft Warrior.
So it's probably not so much that they've tried to focus on Warriors specifically, but have just ended up with a bunch of new hero niches that happen to be warriors.
Johanna - super heavy tank
Leoric - unique resurrection mechanics
Rexxar - ranged warrior with a permanent pet
Artanis - Starcraft warrior
I totally agree that at this point we could use more ranged assassins, but they're probably trying to make them as unique as possible.
time to start saving gold for Rexxar's master skin (after Nazeebo's)
it actually works exactly like I wanted (like it should), you dont control misha she just attacks what you attack. Our doubt was how would that work since people would just quickly focus her down, and that doubt was anwsered by rexxar being a ranged (lol) warrior, so him and her should be quite sturdy. Also she just comes back after a little while when she dies, I really want to know the respawn time
Now we cut to live footage of Rhaknar upon waking up and learning the dream was real:

Seriously guys this is a good thing. Game needs to get away from half to full life bar restoring heals. (On 12 second cool downs. )
I don't see how that doubt is answered at all. It all depends on the numbers. He's ranged and she's not. She's gonna be in the shit and he isn't. He does have a heal, at least, but a lot of this depends on her HP and respawn timer cause she doesn't have her own mind to back out when low HP.
If she's super tanky and respawns in a decent time, could be OP. If she's splitting HP with Rexxar in a more traditional way, the respawn would have to be pretty low to be good.
I'd imagine (hope) there will be a line of talents just dedicated to her tankiness/survival.
Well to be fair, his second ult looks like it is about a 3/4th HP heal
It's only a good thing if they bring the other 5 n line, which they have made 0 indication of doing.
So it's a bad thing, because we don't need more of the half-assed healers at the moment, and are instead being overloaded on warriors.
there is, the talents are out. One gives her vampiric assault etc
I'm inclined to agree, but they really need to rework the current healers if that's the case. At the moment pure healers clearly give a bit of an advantage.
I feel like hero design would be better if the heroes were build around an idea, rather than a role personally, but that'll probably never happen since Blizzard seem pretty happy with the role classifications.

I agree. People need to get away from the impression that supports are just there to stand in the back tossing heals. I'm hoping monk is compelling enough that the meta will become a little friendlier to the currently unpopular supports.
