Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Li-Ming Max Damage Build (PTR HotS Quick Match)

More Li-Ming Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm (HotS)
Still on the PTR and its a bit of a struggle with the servers acting-up. But I still managed to get this Build Video after a few hours of trying. This time we focused a lot more on pure Damage and less on survivability and utility, which is not a wise approach but it sure can be fun. This is till a work in progress so don't take it as word of law. As always the full story will be in my Build Guide for the Wizard Li Ming. In this HotS Quick Match I used the stock skin and Space Lord's Star Breaker Mount. The more I play the Wizard the more i like her style... the fact that she does tons of damage helps to. So far I have been enjoying her a lot more then other recent releases and we already have a few builds surfacing for her, we just need a bit more time to properly define her but things are looking sweet

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Li-Ming, The Wizard (PTR HotS Quick Match)

The Wizard Li-Ming was released on the Heroes of the Storm PTR so it's time for some Gameplay. Initial impressions are strong and I believe her to be a real powerful addition to the Roster. In the following days I will further try and show you different builds and a final Build Guide. Rank 1 Ranked Gameplay (Hero League) as always is in the schedule , but for that she first needs to be released on the Live Servers. HotS Quick Match using the Star Princess skin and Star Chariot Mount.

Who is Li Ming ?
Li-Ming was born in Xiansai and brought to the Yshari Sanctum by Isendra at the age of seven. Valthek took her training under his personal control after he has caught her looking into the forbidden archives and studying forbidden spells. From the first days, Isendra believed that a prophecy was actually talking about Li-Ming, even though everyone except the two of them had been quite skeptical.

Like Isendra herself, Li-Ming dismissed most of the warnings, and refused to ignore the needs of people around Caldeum. At the age of 16, she saved the city of Lut Bahadur from drought by bringing water back. However, the Mage Clans' attention was focused on Isendra — they believed that she was influencing Li-Ming.

Li-Ming discovered Isendra's mangled body shortly after the Sorceress was assassinated in the eastern desert. Questioning Valthek, she concluded that Isendra died unnaturally, and eventually confronted him about this. Even though he tried to stop Li-Ming, she left the Sanctum after besting him in combat (with relative ease, due to the secrets she uncovered).

After Isendra's death, Li-Ming (now age 19) ventured to New Tristram, pursuing a sighting of a fallen star.

Heroes of the Storm - Xul the Necromancer Confirmed (Melee Specialist)

Dustin Browder Confirmed the Necromancer Xul as being a Melee Specialist that will soon come to Heroes of the Storm (HotS). He also confirmed Li-Ming, a ranged Assassin
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/hero...

Xul Abilities:

Spectral Scythe (Q) — A “reverse skill-shot,” where you lay a scythe down at a target point that swings back towards you.

Cursed Strikes (W) — Causes Xul’s basic attacks to turn into AOE and also curse enemies to reduce there attack speed by 50%. This will be good against fast heroes or multiple-Warrior team compositions.

Bone Prison (E) — A targeted ability that warns enemy heroes of their impending fate and then 2 seconds later roots them in place.

Poison Nova (R1) — AOE that comes off of Xul and spreads a huge amount of damage around him (it sounds similar to Defile in WoW). You’ll want to use this in the center of teams to maximize damage.

Skeletal Mages (R2) — A wall of mages forms at a distance, sort of like Tassadar’s Force Wall. Unlike Force Wall, though, it doesn’t block all movement but rather slows enemies hit by the mages.

Bone Armor (1 key) — Xul gets one more baseline ability to give him extra survivability when approaching the front line, a bonus shield worth 25% of his health.

Trait: Raise skeleton from fallen minions. Can have max of 4. Last 15 seconds. Good at wearing down towers/minions/blocking skill shots.

Notes: Xul is an incredibly diverse hero with a varying number of talent builds to play as you choose. You can spec into his Skeletal Minion trait to turn him into a hardcore powerful pushing character. Spectral Scythe is good for poking at enemies and lane clear. Cursed Strike is a fantastic counter to heroes who rely on attack speed like Illidan, Thrall, and Butcher. Bone prison forces an enemy to make a split-second decision as to where to move for when they are stunned. Very powerful against Jaina/Kael who have no ways to escape.

Heroes of the Storm - Li-Ming the Wizard Confirmed (Ranged Assassin)

Dustin Browder Confirmed the Wizard Li-Ming as being a Ranged Assassin that will soon come to Heroes of the Storm (HotS) He also confirmed Xul the Necromancer (Melee Specialist)

Li-Ming Abilities :

Magic Missiles (Q) - A skill-shot ability fired at a target point. This needs to be aimed very precisely, as the target point is very specific.

Arcane Orb (W) - Another skill-shot that fires at a long range and deals AOE damage on impact, but is not very fast. The trick to this is that the damage is increased the farther away Li-Ming is, so you’ll want to cast it and run to maximize damage.

Teleport (E) - A short-distance, short-cooldown teleport that is specifically characterized as the opposite of the Bolt of the Storm talent.

Disintegration Beam (R1) - Her first heroic ability which can be used to sweep back and forth across enemies and cause great damage.

Wave of Force (R2) - Her second heroic ability which lets you remotely detonate a telekinetic bomb that pushes the enemies around and is a great counter against back-line characters.

Trait: Resets all of her cooldowns, including heroics, when she's part of a kill or an Assist.

Notes: Li-Ming is easy to understand, but really getting the most out of her is extremely challenging. She apparently will be mana constrained and that's how they will balance her. Originally came out from an idea on the team to have a hero with multiple skillshots.

Heroes of the Storm - Two New Heroes Teased (MAYBE Wizard Li-Ming & Necromancer Zayl or Mehtan ?)

Two new Heroes where re-teased on Twitter & Facebook for Heroes of the storm.
https://twitter.com/BlizzHeroes/statu... voice sounds like the Female Wizzard from Diablo III 3 (Maybe Li-Ming ) and the second one I think it can be a Necromancer... if we look at Diablo III possible choices are Zayl and Mehtan I would lean more twards Zayl
