Gul'dan A - Z | Heroes of the Storm (HotS) Gameplay 

"Ima walk up to the wall and just fucking die." Best line ever

I love how Pally has little things to add character to his stream. "Jim Laner" "KARAZEEEM" etc. when he does his intros. I don't think hes going to get into Pokemon Unite too much more (sadly) but he did the same thing for "Soccer Bunny" and "Thundercat". I also loved him and Truckslyr yelling out the time on the clock when they would lag.

Went back to the 2018, dynamic spellpower, 2021 pally still loves how nerdy it is, and still uses KT pyro and ana as example lol

No mana cost, kill reset, damage, healing, and can get a slow built into it. Drain life has it all, thankfully it is balanced out by the `standing in place channel` thing it has. Great ability.

Every time I watch one of your videos I'm like "Dang it I want to play Hots"

Loved the flat out denial of the boss win ask at the end!

The Darkness Within was actually changed a lot at some point which I didn't even know until I saw you pick it up. Used to just give you bonus spell power for your next ability every time you Life Tap, if I'm not mistaken. And you say, you don't have to think about it, but you didn't use it there around the 15 minute mark, which would probably kill the core there, considering how much dmg you did even without it. Love the series every year. Hope you know I comment like a smartass sometimes but it's always with good intentions, love and care that I have for you Pally. Thank you for all the years of great entertainment

Ty for introducing me to this wonderful game

'I'm gonna walk up to the walk and just fucking die' I know that feeling

I love Pally! Thanks for your presence and your videos! It brings me a lot of joy and pleasure after work, surgery & though training sesh. I send a lot of love & health to you and take care of yourself! Cheers from Latvia 🇱🇻

I remember when you were trying that gul’dan build that pumped up his spellpower and then you’d just dump your ult on people and hope for massive damage, that was fun to watch haha

"I'm just going to walk up to the wall and fu***** die" lmao I laughed so hard XD

That tassadar kill..... Oh my. Didn't know I could enjoy a video more than the greymane video but this is tough....

Gul'dan is so much fun. I adore that he just vomits out damage with a super easy low cooldown attack. You just get to hit stuff and feel good about it when you play him.

maybe not so much in a team fight, but there were plenty of times where you have missing mana and full health and you drain. try to life tap first to get your mana up and take advantage of the heal from the drain.

My poor monitor recieving all the curses and screams from watching you not pop your trait to empower Rain of Destruction at the 22:05 ish Mark 😭 All jokes aside - Great video and great game!

I feel like Pally got more Greymaneitis during this Game than last.

The ghoulish Daniel gameplay is pretty slick as always makes me kinda want to pick up the game and give it a go for some reason.

Rain of Destruction is still garbage in comparison to Horrify. Horrify is such a versatile playmaker that not using Horrify at all is useful, because the enemy team has to respect it.

Believe you would have ended when you died at the core if you life tapped for that spell power buff. Can use it a lot during team fights since it doesn't cost any HP if you did the damage to proc the buff.

It's always a bit of a moment when you're playing Gul'Dan and you end up on the board under 'Main Healer', too

Another game again where one tram is level 11 and the other is level 9. Hots is a very broken and unbalanced game

Gulish'Daniel was fun to play, back when I still played Blizzard games. :)

Pally's Ghoulish Daniel games are some of my favorite games, honestly. Also lol @ "I'm gonna walk up to the wall and just fuckin' die" like play by play

18:20 that's a pretty slick Gul'Dan moonwalk build.

This character and your videos got me into heroes yhank you Pally

That boss call at the end 😂😂😂

Ghoulish Daniel :)

poor Varian got disenchanted by the Gul'Dank. :( Spoilers below: Win/Loss: 22-7; 75.9% Wins: Abathur; Alarak; Alexstrasza; Anduin; Anubarak; Arthas; Azmodan; Blaze; Cassia; Cho; Deathwing; Deckard; Dehaka; Diablo; D.Va; ETC; Fenix; Garrosh; Gazlowe; Genji; Greymane; Gul'Dan Loses: Ana; Artanis; Auriel; Brightwing; Chen; Chromie; Falstad

I'm kind of surprised you'd pick rain of destruction into a comp that includes the likes of Diablo and KT, and a big damage dive hero like greymane with tass walls and whitemane roots. Seems very feast or famine?

23-5 now playing your builds. This was probably the worst guldan game I've ever played. Sitting still vs tracer and zeratul does not make for a good time. I like the build but this was not the match for it. I'll take the win and run

Diablo goes back to save entire team, entire team goes back in to their deaths. So nothing new in this game lol

20:08 "My bad, dude." Nah you were in perfect character for what Gul'dan likes to do lol

26:00 Beautiful Raynor/Guldan ULT combo

Where's Diablo man!! i was waiting for Diablo and you are already in Guldan!! wha happened

I don't understand why anyone no matter their experience with the game would want to go q build. The level 1 q talent is the worst in the game because all it does once completed is increase the radius of q by 10%. You can already hit an entire minion wave with untalented q so why anyone would want to even consider that talent is nuts to me.

How is this man the greatest commentator ever while playing the game!??!?!?!

15:01 That play was so good it caused Pally’s mic to dip.

I don’t even play this game. Dude is just entertaining to watch.

I felt like he was about to finish the game him self with the ult, bad sadly he didn't

*GHOULISH DANIEL!* Still love that.

baiting diablo in and not getting like a triple suck reset was when i stopped the video

Rain of Destruction is just "assert dominance"

I feel like Gul’dan is one of the best characters in terms of talent diversity. All of his builds, q build, e build, and succ build are viable. Honestly one of the best character designs in the game imo.

huh sense when could you have one of the same chacter on both teams?

Do you know of that you are my favorite content creator?

wait wait is that a team with a tank AND healer? is this still heroes?

Ghoulish Daniel draining life for living

Love the Pally interludes!

Is there an inside joke for why he says Laynor?

He's one of my favorite characters

W build is also stupid good for ARAMs.

Manny: "Say something nice!" Tyr: "Uhh, you rock!"

A-Z part 29 your soul is mine

First video I've seen from this guy. Well made. Slightly funny. And probably the greatest ratio difference between dislikes and likes. Only 11 dislikes is nuts.

always drain life build. its ridiculously oppressively, need stun to get killed, and stopped anyone trying to run away in their tracks with one of the most powerful slows in the game.

I can totally relate to 18:34. LOL

gogo algorythm!

Could you move your camera to the right side of the screen for intros? It wouldn't cover up the skill and talent stuff on the left then.

that Tass kill at 15 mins should have felt sooooo good. B.A. Guldan walkoff with the kill :)

I used to watch too many infomercials at night so when describing Rain of Destruction I tell people they can set it and forget it

I *love* rain with drain build. I take it as a one point wonder along with the panic button at 20, make taking late keeps a breeze.

The Drain Life talent at level 4 not only resets the cooldown on kill, it also reduces the cooldown the longer you channel, effectively resetting it on a full channel.

"boss win pls" lol

My family: Where is the Q key?! Me: Gone, reduced to atoms.

Less than three

Loved the Warcraft movie! Wish they could have continued the story.

I know it's not the best, but Q build is so fun, pestering the enemy team with endless siege.

it was always odd to me that you can't see the range of drain life when its active similar to leoric's creepy hand

RoF > fear

Corruption kept landing but he kept saying it was missing lol

Love it

poggggggg

Bump!

Love the drain life build. Very fun even if you have a team that can counter that.

Aww, I was hoping for a stealth Rain to finish the core :(

27:52 XD

Dude. Life tap during ROD.

They really should turn Rain of Destruction from an RNG-fest into a set pattern that you can properly aim.

Love all your content my dude

I always felt like Guldan has just a tiny bit too much sustain for a hero able to dish out such an absurd amount of AOE damage.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!

good stuff!

my main man

My main is Guldan by +100 levels compared to the next Character. Been doing life drain build for 2ish years. Keep in mind life drain isn't just about the damage but about to heal. Base life drain is 132 Damage + 188 healing is 320 equivalent DPS. 1: Taking life drain on level 1 (Chaotic Energy) gives you +15% range which is huge! Plus when you complete your quest it reduces your mana cost by -20 per ability (-25% mana cost), that is also huge for a character that converts its own life into mana. 4: Take it again at 4 (Health Funnel) and you get faster cooldown. So even if you are stunned or have to stop life draining early, the 2 seconds of life drain mean the 10 sec cooldown is actually only 6 seconds, meaning you can life drain right away. This also gives you easy health from minions as the instant reset it and more lane presence or camp taking. 7: (Curse of Exhaustion) is where your damage (+25%) and cc is amazing for your team. Slowing a char means your team can way more easy skill shot that player. It allows you life drain for longer, further speeding up the cooldown on life drain in synergy with level 4. The reason I take horrify is Guldan has a survival issue, not a damage issue. 13: (Harvest Life), taking life drain again is the final piece because your total life drain healing goes up +75% but keep in mind the total damage is worth 2x so now your DPS is equivalent to 527. 16: (Darkness within) is another huge boost that once you get enough damage (600 which is easy) you get 0 cost to life tap (222 health savings) and +25% spell power making your life drain another that much better. Now your damage is equal to about 688 dps. The final and most important piece of Guldans kit is level 20, Demonic circle. You now have the power to run away! As well as absorb others teams ults (then run way), push up way more than you should, be able to fast travel for objectives and most importantly, not die*. (*dying very likely still.) Thanks for these amazing videos Pally! I watch every one!

In my opinion chaotic energy is better for a fell flame build then path of flame is because it gives so much Mana usage reduction
