man.. kaels lack of getting away is a huge turn off already
you get targeted you're almost gauranteed to die if you cant burst them quickly.

Well besides jaina getting sprint, (not sure if kt does or not) her passive makes her harder to catch out of position even though she has no escape.

Jaina has sprint, kael has nothing until 20 where he can grab bolt of the storm. Jaina also has chills to slow people down while she flees, iceblock, bolt etc.

He really doesnt have anything except bolt at 20, and you have to sacrifice really good damage traits at 16 to get his mana shield, which is his only tool for survivability lol

I'm still going to play him, but he doesnt seem at all that 'easy' that blizzard categorizes him under lol

Haven't played him yet, but I imagine Gravity Lapse is supposed to be his escape. It'll probably be used offensively to combo with Flamestrike. I imagine you're supposed to use it like Jaina's Blizzard / Cone of Cold / Frostbolt combo: place the Flamestrike, and then stun then in place so they can't escape, and follow up with Living Bomb.

Basically yeah
its pretty fun do do a pyroblast, trait, double bomb somebody.. that does a stupid amount of burst lol

flamestrike applying living bomb is pretty nuts too, specially when you take the +75% bomb explosion damage lol

Yeah.. flamestrike + applies bomb is insanely good lol

kael has no escape but omg his damage output is incredible, i think he'll get toned down a bit because currently his flame strike/poke build is nutso.

Kaelthas - Hero Talent Calculator(Pyroblast is funner though)

once he gets the 13 and 16 traits its gg.

One of my favorite things about the patch is having your CC status effect highlighted over your/opponent's names. Makes it very easy to read during battle "This guy is stunned, let loose."

I really dislike buff/debuffs being removed from the screen. No more seeing stacks of bribe, fountain cooldown and things of that nature easily.

ETC plays a WHOLE lot better than before. I thought giving up echo pedal and rockstar aura speed buff would be a huge nerf but if you focus on the talents that upgrade face melt are CC monster buffs. I am able to control people so much better now. ETC is hands down the best tank in the game now if he wasn't already.

Man, I wonder if I'm ever going to be able to play this game again without switching my isp. 4th night in a row cox new orleans can't connect to hots. Unfortunately found out last night too, it also affects sc2 as friends and I were going to play that instead when we got disconnected from hots, but couldn't connect to sc2; d3 and hs are just fine though.

I haven't tried those yet - but without he seems to play much like he used to. Played a handful of games with him last night and picked up many of the healing talents. Felt a bit squishier than before, but still strong. I'll have to try some of the cc talents. Icing on the cake is being able to power slide with moshpit, so much fun.

I like Jaina a lot more than Kael. Sprint is great. Save myself like 4-5 times a game with it.

I've only played a couple games so far with Kael and I am super bad with him, he does feel like I could eventually be good with him (and I'm sure he shows up in the pro scene) but it's a very different feeling than when I started Sylvanas for example (who was incredible right out of the gate).

I'm not so sure he shows up consistently in the pro scene, there is a reason why the popular assassins are all ones with multiple escapes.
