Hi all
My nickname is SirCosmin, I'm playing on the Europe side and I present you my build for Leoric.
I'm rank 1 in Hero League and I find Leoric an amazing tank that does a pretty impressive damage on the battlefield. He is very useful on smaller maps such as Battlefield of Eternity or Tomb of the Spider Queen because his aoe damage helps the team very much on tight fights.
Now let me explain a bit about the build: He is Melee Warrior which means he's purpose is also to deal nice damage against Heroes, he doesn't have any stuns unfortunately but he is useful even after dying as a ghost slowing enemies and reducing his death timer.
In game I'm counting a lot of the first ability, SKELETAL SWING - the damage dealt after growing in level will be considerably high (600dmg by level 17-18 if not mistaken). His second ability is DRAIN HOPE - this is where you need to understand that feeding the other team with deaths is not an option and you need to make sure you stay alive as much as possible without dying. My build is focused on this ability and the more you play using it you will understand why.
Talent level 1 : You need to increase the range of Drain Hope as it will secure more health for you and kill Heroes with low health easier.
Talent level 4: Increasing the healing to 30% will be helpful during big fights.
Talent level 7: Here you want to select this option - Paralyzing rage as slowing enemies by 60% will considerably grant your team more kills!
Talent level 10: As for ultimate here I selected Entomb, I find it more useful then March of the Black King because heroes can run away from Leoric range and sometimes you just waste this talent as no damage is taken so instead use Entomb - it's more effective.
Talent level 13: Crushing Hope - Oh yes, not only that you drain health but you also do bonus damage if you achieve the full duration of the skill.
Talent level 16: Here is where you capitalize if you use this skill, as I mentioned, Leoric does a very good damage on battlefield, selecting this talent grants you an additional strike against minions and heroes for 50% damage which is very noticeable!
Talent level 20: Last one I would say is where Leoric really is OP - basic attacks against enemy heroes deal bonus damage equal to 5% Hero's maximum health and heal you for the same amount.
I tried and tested many builds but this one is among the best and suits me perfectly. This build is very good balanced to keep you alive for a long period of time and also by doing a lot of damage!
Good luck all and let me know what you think!
