Ivar Bloodfang

Feral Packleader

Ivar Bloodfang is a Melee Warrior whose central game mechanic is balancing between his Human and Worgen form. Unlike Greymane, who can easily change forms, Ivar's transformations are harder to control and are heavily influenced by the damage he takes, representing his feral side. Ivar provides versatile playstyles centered around the idea of distributing your power well through talents between your two forms. He can become threatening in various ways, builds that lower enemy armor, deal great damage, and provide cc are all avaible. But despite his tanky nature Ivar's threat can be easly neutralized by forcing him into his less dangerous form, by not damaging him or with a quick burst. Finding out how to be always useful to your team with Ivar, while not letting your strategy to fall apart is the key to playing him effectively.
