WOH: Beta Keys, Rune Priest minus the Priestlyness

Couple quick bits here from the Wrath of Heroes :

  • PC Gamer is giving away beta keys if you register there. I'm sure they'll fly off the shelf.

  • The 17th hero has been revealed: Gromki the Rune Priest. You might remember how I feel about Rune Priests. At least there will be another healer in the game though! ...Wait, he doesn't heal? At all? They added a White Lion that doesn't have a lion and a Rune Priest that doesn't heal? ...O-kay. I've seen worse decisions, I guess.

Let's look at the tiny old bastard's abilities. The 3 debuffs have unlimited durations, which is scary. Essentially, the testers were asking for more healers and instead got a hero that is built to vaporize the 2 existing healers.


Wilford Priestly's Ability List
1: Makes your staff glowy and fires a channeled beam of light at your target, alerting all to your presence and giving them directions on where to find your crusty little ass.
2: Reduce your target's armor by 50%.
3: Reduces the healing your target receives.
4: Your target takes 30% more damage.
5: You can consume your debuffs for a decent pop of damage.

Hope ya like zapzapzap laserbeam spam.

*Note: his range is a pretty middling 65 yards. I'm hoping that's just a by-product of him being a short little senior citizen and not the new max distance for ranged classes. I don't know.

*Note: the playable roster seen in that preview video contains all the 17 'known' heroes so far (the 15 previously playable guys and the 2 new assholes).
