Warcraft's Gul'dan was announced for Heroes of the Storm last week, along with Diablo’s Auriel, and while we still don't have a release date for either hero, we do get to see Gul'dan in action in the latest hero spotlight video.

After a brief overview of Gul'dan's history - crazy bastard, looked like a walnut even when he was a "young shaman" - we get learn more of his abilities in Heroes of the Storm.

He's described as "a sustained damage ranged assassin whose thirst for power is his greatest strength - and weakness."

You can check out the list of his abilites below. Currently, Gul'dan is available to play until July 11 in the Public Test Realm, for those playtesting the latest patch before it goes live.
