We can be Heroes

Oh my #@!&ing lord I have a toothache.

For Warhammer fans - here are the 2 new characters added this week to Wrath of Heroes:


Tomb King Liche Priest.
Dark Elf Sorceress






















Two casters. The Liche Priest is a support class for you guys that don't want to be the star of the show and prefer to aid allies and debuff enemies. The Sorceress is all about using backloaded dark magic.

I think it's going to be really hard for this lame-ass "Wrath of Heroes" to try and compete with the real deal, "Bunch of Heroes".

That's right, there is going to be a whole Bunch of Heroes.

Or, like, four of them.

Scary Old Communist Guy in Sunglasses
Cartoonishly Stereotypical Asian Chick
Cartoonishly Stereotypical American Black Dude
and of course, Math Teacher in a Bicycle Helmet

Why even bother releasing Diablo now?

Also, I'm trying to muster up the give-a-fuck to play Brawl Busters now that I've got a key.
Maybe I'll see you there tomorrow, and I will attack you with a guitar or a turkey leg or a who gives a shit.

Now you see me, now you

With the official confirmation of in-combat stealth being handed out like candy in SWTOR, we have to look at the PvP lakes this way:
Consulars/Inquistitors, Smugglers/Agents, Warriors/Knights all have a combat vanish available in one of their ACs.

Troopers/Bounty Hunters don't have any combat stealth yet, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they got an in-combat camouflage where they turn into a bush or something.

Some people are concerned about how this could be overpowered in PvP lakes, with terms like 'reset button' and 'Get Out of Jail Free Card' being used.



 
Like, just looking at the Smuggler AC, he could sap, cleanse all dots himself and sprint into an improved stealth vanish to heal up behind cover while you're bleeding to death and spinning around screaming like you're in a shitty horror movie.



But I'm sure this has been tested in the lakes for months now and has nothing to do with WoW Rogues wanting all their old WoW Rogue abilities or the fact that it appears nigh impossible to unflag from combat.
