What do Hunters, Warriors, Druids, Shamans, and Warlocks have in common? They’re all being featured on this week’s podcast!
Last week we looked at the hero abilities for the Rogue, Mage, Paladin, and Priest heroes in Hearthstone. Now the other five launch-day heroes get their turn in the spotlight.
Half-geek-half-jock superster Dan joins me and provides some awesome insight on the hero abilities.
UPDATE: A few helpful readers explained to us that the Druid ability works differently than the text shows. I’ve adjusted the text and our power/flavor ratings for the Druid hero ability below to reflect the actual functionality, but the audio podcast is still incorrect. Sorry!
