Son of the legendary Grommash Hellscream, Garrosh embodied many of the strengths of the Horde. As Warchief he leads a campaign to transform it into what he calls the True Horde.
Garrosh is a Warrior/Specialist Multiclass hero with a unique talent setup:
He starts with his Heroic ability (Heart of Y'Shaarj).
At levels 1 and 10, he has the option to Empower any of his abilities with Y'Shaarj's corruption, which greatly increases its power.
Each talent tier at levels 4, 7, 13, and 16 focuses on a single ability. Each of these tiers offer different bonuses as well as the opportunity to Empower the ability (if it has not already been Empowered).
At level 20, Garrosh can choose the powerful active ability Annihilate or he can further upgrade an Empowered ability.
Each time Garrosh Empowers one of his abilities, his body becomes more infested with Y'Shaarj's corruption as he does in the Siege of Orgrimmar encounter and as shown in this image. If Summon Horde Allies is empowered, the units he summons also show evidence of this taint.
