* DifficultButAwesome: While Uther was marked "Easy" for the longest time, that's only for having simple abilities. Uther is very much an "easy to learn, hard to master" character because timing is everything when playing him; it's not just about removing damage using his abilities, but using Devotion to help allies tank even more damage under fire to offset his low healing numbers and also finding opportunities to safely stun enemies.



* SurpriseDifficulty: Uther's abilities are mechanically very simple, but as the real good points to him require good timing (providing armor to himself or allies to survive burst damage, ''not'' using this healing on mere poke damage because healing that will just cause him to run out of mana, putting Divine Shield on allies ''right'' when they're about to take a lot of damage, locking down enemies with his stuns while allies are in range to best take advantage of it...) and he's a melee Hero without any sort of mobility, most would agree the difficulty label of "Easy" is underselling playing him.

It wouldn't be until 2024 that Uther's difficulty was updated to a more appropriate "Hard."

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup. TRS Thread


* MightyLumberjack: One of his skins, complete with woodcutting axe. His name is changed to Arthur Light, and he apparently comes from ''our'' world -- [[CanadaEh British Columbia]], specifically.

* ArcherArchetype: She retains her skill with a bow, if not her [[PantheraAwesome nightsaber mount]], while retaining her calmer aspects in ''Warcraft III'' as opposed to her more aggressive portrayal in ''Mists of Pandaria''

I'm not sure if the audience made Whitemane to be hated. This sounds more like Hated By All


* HateSink: There is next to no one in the Nexus who actually likes her. Not even a NiceGirl like Yrel likes Whitemane. The feelings are mutual.

Catchphrase has been disambiguated. Also adding a note about a funny Easter Egg that was datamined from the upcoming patch.


* {{Catchphrase}}: She retains her classic lines from her boss fight in the Scarlet Monastery.
-->'''Whitemane:''' The Light has spoken!\\
'''Whitemane:''' Arise, my champion!\\
'''Whitemane:''' You will pay for this treachery!



* IconicOutfit: Whitemane retains her very cosplay-popular outfit. Her distinctive revealing outfit (and [[HatOfAuthority the hat]]) was one of the reasons for her rise in popularity in the ''World of Warcraft'' fandom.

An EasterEgg paying homage to her outfit was even added in 2024, where searching for "chapeau" in the shop will bring up Whitemane.

Cleaning up Achilles Heel, which was overused on these pages. That trope isn't just "character has a weakness", it's "character is Nigh Invulnerable except for one exploitable weakness".


* AchillesHeel:
** The ironically-named ''Flash Heal'' takes 0.75 seconds to channel. Likewise, his ''Divine Star'' only heals as it returns to him, which takes about a second. If you need someone to heal you ''right now'', Anduin is not your man.
** Anduin's ImmortalityField Heroic is incredibly powerful and can salvage games on its own. But it can be interrupted by ''any'' stun or boop, which many characters have and some characters -- Anub'arak, Diablo, Gazlowe, Johanna, Mei -- have more than one of. If you're playing against them, you go ''Lightbomb''... Or [[BatmanGambit hold your Salvation until all those disruption skills have already been used]].

* AchillesHeel: For all her utility, Brightwing does have one major downside: her healing only occurs in a zone around her. To save a tank, or someone who is stranded away from the team, she ''has'' to overexpose herself. If she has ''Emerald Wind'' up, that's probably fine. If the enemy team has a lot of dive, or if she took the other Heroic...



* AchillesHeel: Sustain. Uther's actual healing efficiency is notably poor, and he relies on a combination of soaking part of the damage himself, and using armor to mitigate more to offset it, traits that don't work quite as well when exchanging harassment over a long duration.



* AchillesHeel: Whitemane's heals are largely ineffective and inefficient if she stays out of combat, and only heal with ''Zeal'' if she deals damage to ''heroes''. This puts Whitemane in constant danger in team fights, which is more problematic because she lacks escapes or any basic form of crowd control effects besides ''Inquisition'', which roots her in place and therefore pretty much useless for helping her outpace enemies. She's also very poor whenever she's not in range of any heroes in general - even compared to other Healers, her abilities to kill waves of minions is pretty pathetic and she provides pretty little in a fight against only mercenaries or bosses.

Added DiffLines:

* HumongousHeadedHammer: His ''Hammer of Justice'' ability that stuns the enemy. Also he carries a pretty big one as his standard weapon. His Medic skin makes it more like a staff.

Removed the Warcraft Universe page as it was only used as a holding page for upcoming characters, and the game isn't being updated anymore.

Rated M For Manly is about works, not characters


* RatedMForManly: He's an orc whose quotes revel in about the glory of battle within the arena, but he's a Healer hero primarily built around buffing and healing his friends. Also, his heroic, ''Bloodlust'' inspires others to be manlier than usual. All in all, Rehgar fills in the niche of 'Manly Support' found within various MOBA.
