IRONHIDE COMMUNITY FORUM

What are your opinions on the best hero spells or hero abilities? You could talk about your favorite heroes if you'd like too.

My personal favorite is dragonlings. It's just so satisfying to watch them burn and the AoE is quite wide too. Doom Tank's is cool too, but the AoE is not as good.

Unpopular opinion - I like Veruk's Spear Goblins. Not saying they're strong, but they're pretty decent as extra Reinforcements.

The CD is too long on them for extra reinforcements though.

They can still deal some decent damage, though I agree that the CD (40 seconds) is too long.

I didn't even realize it was 40 seconds. But let's compare another 40 second CD HS to Goblin Warmongers.

Eiskalt's.

Jun'Pai's. (Less than 40 seconds with Soul Point Upgrade)

Eiskalt's and Jun'pai's are just so much better.

Eiskalt is plain broken.

Even Jun'Pai's and Jack's. Jun'Pai's and Jack's have a 40 second cooldown before Soul Point Upgrade, but only a 32 second cooldown after Soul Point Upgrades.
I'm not sure the cooldown for Veruk's but if it's a 40 second cooldown like you say, that's 8 seconds less for Nightmare and Terror from the Deep, which are many times better than Veruk's.

A better comparison might be to another free hero, but Asra's cooldown is 40 seconds for something better IMO, and Oloch's provides more stalling with a 16 second cooldown, permastalling enemies like Crystal Demolishers and Frost Golems and is one of the best leak-catchers in the series.
