One of the most accessible anti minion heroes out there and thus one of the best s1 costumes too

[Tidyup]

I just realised how much more utility he got with superior talents. Destroy minions with a chance to dispel half the time, that’s really good. Is he worth LBing now?

[ferg]

@Tidyup

Is he worth LBing now?

For me he was worth it before, so I would say definitely yes.

He was a great minion counter before, now he’s even so much better with the talent.

[nonareeves]

@ferg

For me he was worth it before

Same here.
When the W3k team was raging, as long as G.Gormek was alive, I would never lose.
Conversely, if he dies, automatically lose to the minion team.

[Tidyup]

Which path did you take for c gorm, pure health and defence?

[ferg]

Yes

Now he just needs those final 2 nodes

[TTT]

Thanks for sharing!

Did you end up taking the mana node for the costume version?
