The Butcher has been revealed and he looks hungry!
The Butcher was revealed today during The Mayhem Begins live stream. He is a very aggressive melee assassin from the Diablo universe and his kit reflects it. His Q is an AoE fading slow on a four-second cooldown, his W is a targetted damaging ability that makes his auto-attacks heal him, and his E is a long range charge with a small stun when he collides. Both of his heroics look devastating with a huge AoE furnace blast or a 'fence-like' chain post that keeps an enemy in place.
During the reveal they hailed him as an Illidan killer, and with his CC he certainly fits the description. Will The Butcher reign as the king of the Nexus, or will he go the way of Thrall, another aggressive melee assassin? Only time, and his release will tell.
The full description of his kit and talent tree can be found here.
Update: The Butcher is set to release June 30th but can be played a week earlier on the Public Test Realm. Sharpen your cleavers!
