Heroes of the Storm Ranked Gameplay - Xul, Crowd Control Build (Rank 1 Hero League)

Xul Rank 1 Ranked Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm (HotS). Infernal Shrines was the battleground we fought on with both teams having very good setups, the game went back and forward a couple of times before we managed to obtain a hard earned victory.

I used a CC (crowd control) build for the Necromancer Xul, as I believe this was most beneficial for my team in these circumstances, this spec is lower on the damage side but offers great control in team fights.

I was also presently surprised by a Kael player that managed to pull extremely high amounts of damage despite the recent nerfs to the Heroes suitability.

Hero League.
Keep in mind that when the first seasons starts there will be a Grand Master rating above rank1 Gameplay.

With the awakening of Diablo in Tristram came a figure cloaked in mystery. Hailing from the southern swamps, long hours of study in dank mausoleums had made his skin pale and corpse-like, his figure, skeletal, and most people shunned him for his particular looks and ways. Though his goals were often aligned with the forces of Light, some did not think that these ends can justify his foul means.

Backstory :
Xul allied with a group of fellow heroes, and pursued the Dark Wanderer, a vessel for the Lord of Terror. It culminated with the defeat of the Prime Evils, but also much loss, including the destruction of the Worldstone. Despite the warnings of the Horadric scholar Deckard Cain as to what the event might portend for Sanctuary, the heroes disbanded and returned to their homes and families. Despite this, Cain would look favorably upon Xul in later years.

Xul mentored at least one apprentice, Mehtan. Mehtan looked favorably upon his master and continued to seek to preserve the Balance.

Heroes of the Storm - Xul Easter Egg (Crows)

Heroes of the Storm - Xul Easter Egg (Crows)
Just Tap the tombstones!

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Xul Heavy Control Build

More Xul Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm, this time we are going for a Heavy CC Build. I wouldn't really recommend this specific play-stile for any situation but if the enemy team is heavy on the AA (Basic Attack Heroes) then this should be the optimal way to go. HotS Quick Match on the Infernal Shrines Battleground! I'm liking Xul more and more but there may be a issues with his skeletal minions and most of the time they die before they are able to do much of anything. I still want to explore a full Skeleton Pusher Build, but first I'll wait for a buff (Speculation!). In the following days our Melee Specialist known as the Necromancer Xul will be launched on the EU server and I will be able to bring you a full Build Guide and after I feel conformable enough with him Rank 1 Ranked Gameplay! I have little to no question about his viability in the correct circumstances. The Build revolves a lot around his Spectral Scythe (Q Ability) but it does have some flexibility depending on the team setups.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Xul Bruiser Build (HotS Xul Gameplay)

Xul the Necromancer has been Launched in Heroes of the Storm, time for some Gameplay! This was my first game with our new Melee Specialist and it went rather well despite my in-experience. HotS Quick Match Gameplay on Battlefield of Eternity. I went for a more Bruiser Sustain build opting not to chose any pusher talents. So far initial impressions are very good, plenty of damage through his Q (Spectral Scythe) and his Poisson Nova Heroic Ability (R1). Certainly a worthy counter to any MELEE AA hero..not as much against range without a gap-closer. I somehow felt the need to increase my movement speed so maybe a pair with ETC would be worth-while, I am not sure at this point. Stay tuned in the following days to come for my signature Build Guide and ofc Rank 1 Ranked Gameplay.

All and all beneficial changes which will be brought into the nexus starting Martch 1st with the Necromancer Xul. I'm expecting more changes then and as always I will keep you up to speed with events. I like the idea with Ability CDs in chat.. but I really hope we can customize this system to an extensive degree. 
Chnages to Nova increase her viability early game and late game but still don't address some of her issues. Rehgar Changes seem Impact-full, perhaps the time of the Wolf God is ending
