for those obsesed with numbers: Dehaka start the tf at 14:28 with 3723 hp he use his healing 3 times, fluctuating his pool with 3527, 2751, and 2323 healing he end the fight with max hp with a minor auriel heal (for a total of 5132 hp) and have a spare of 1589 healing on his passive the enemy team needed to do 19075 damage to kill him only. for a dps of 615.23 in the leng of that fight, 31 seconds (soft spoiler: they failed really bad) If you read this, just like Pally, now you are illuminated with the insane resilience of dehaka. Edit: also he started the tf widouth ultimate, so that alone can tell you a lot

[@Didact04]

There is absolutely nothing more satisfying than walking into 5 people, surviving, and then walking away scott free.

During that fight, at 14:50, Pally was so baffled by his survivability that he forgot to play the game... That Blaze should be *so* dead. 😋

So I congratulate you for having spoiled ALL OF THE FUN for me watching this episode!! ALL of it!

[@BansheeHallow]

I dont think Pally has noticed that Tissue regenaration gives him 10 essence for free for every regen globe

[@DustinFette]

Even though he's been playing this game for so long there's still so much we have to teach him.

[@ocean037]

@@DustinFette lol yeah, it feels like he stopped reading talents and abilities a long time ago

[@EthosO76]

Basically when he got to diamond

[@chaoslink1158]

Yeah, I was basically screaming at him when globes were being allowed to fade while he was standing right next to them. This has been my primary build for a very long time, before they added the W essence from hero stalker (the minion talent has *always* been trash imo). It's a fantastic way to play him. Never much cared for the agility build tbh.

[@nimrodkeren783]

he also really hates that talent for no reason! Its my favorite Dehaka level 1 and he made such a fuss out of picking it

[@smitegrinder3854]

Pally: It feels weird to go Tissue Regeneration. Me: And it feels weird to go enhanced agility... I like not dying, thank you :P

[@potatomodem1079]

Smite Grinder 3 health bar Dehaka build.

[@Didact04]

Absolutely nothing more fun than the 3 health bar Dehaka build. It's always been my favorite Dehaka build and I've never played another build for him. I'm standing strong at 60% winrate and it is the best feeling in the world to just walk into the entire enemy team, get hit by EVERYTHING, walk back out, and let my team go have their way with the enemy now that all their cooldowns are ticking. And then turn back around and join them and walk away with full health after the fact. Local Lizard Says "Just Say No To Death"

[@smitegrinder3854]

@@Didact04 tbh, when I heard Pally mention enhanced agility... My first though was "people actually run that?" XD

@@smitegrinder3854 Sometimes people try out one thing and find that it does great things for their abilities, then try out the other and fail... Variance and inexperience with the build can make a big difference, and after bad experience habits can be hard to change. 🙂

[@smitegrinder3854]

@ and Dehaka was a tank and is still a bruiser :P

[@bagelbomber4834]

I enjoy taking the talent that gives attack damage per point of essence, it makes you that threat that needs to be dealt with when you jump on their backline, and the rest of the build lets you live forever.

[@azurblueknights]

This so much. *No one* expects the Dehaka with +60% AA damage combined with Tissue Regeneration, and with so many ways to get essence you'll find yourself back at 60 essence as soon as you spend it.

[@ducky2379]

@@azurblueknights Stack essence claws on top of that and you can still heal without losing your damage cause you'll constantly be getting more essence.

[@azurblueknights]

@@ducky2379 It depends on what I'm fighting. That is my usual 20 pick, but if I'm fighting a lot of late game burst I'll often go for the Adaptation upgrade just as an extra buffer.

[@ducky2379]

Shawn Christensen It is really good for staying alive but it’s kinda boring lol. Why live when you can just rip essence directly out of your enemies? Lol

[@Derplordington]

Honestly disappointed he didn't go the AA build with tissue regeneration. He saw that his W gives essence and just kinda built around that :(

[@aaronolson6736]

"We're going to go ahead and pop Adaptation with our Trait" That hurt

[@onkelpappkov2666]

Well, Adaptation 1 only heals you back up to the health you started with, so the extra regen to full is a good idea.

[@zack48708]

I really miss seeing you play Dehaka, your gameplay with him is so entertaining to watch. he is one of my favorite characters to play in Heroes, at times he can be difficult but i just really love him. almost as much as Diablo lolz XD

[@dudedaniel1127]

Good news, Pally! Racecar talent is still good! It just isn’t the default, most popular pick, but it definitely is entirely pickable, especially if you play Dehaka more as a ganker and soaker rather than a teamfight bruiser.

[@azurblueknights]

I like not-dying though. And Tissue Regeneration is too good at making sure Dehaka not-dies.

[@nicolasvillasecaali7662]

@@azurblueknights yea but some games are going to need more of the Chad gangster ganker Dehaka than the "GETOFFMYLAWN" inmortal lizard.

[@azurblueknights]

@@nicolasvillasecaali7662 Eh, there are better bruisers that fit that role. Dehaka is really good at being immortal. He's not so good at being a prowling ganker, even with the level 13 AA increase talent.

@@azurblueknights i know, he need more variety in what he can do, because now he is really poor in the "big brain plays" department

[@Sammathnar]

@@azurblueknights He has a global, which makes him an excellent solo-laner and a great ganker. In the whole of pro Heroes, he was always played as the ganker, and he was one of the most consistent "in-meta" characters, he was basicaly always a viable pick.

[@abigailng9086]

I'm really impressed with how much work Hero Stalker did this game, might start picking it up

[@KingBobbito]

The double essence off kills really changes the way you handle team fights, each kill is such a massive boost to your health pool on top of all the essence from swarm.

[@MRafas-ie9zh]

14:54 You let Blaze run away while ranting about how good this build is lol

[@JGeMcL]

I’ve always wondered if Pally has ever noticed that Dehaka’s arm evolves. I’ve watched him for years and he has never mentioned it. I think it’s such a cool touch for the primal Zerg.

[@The_Wailing_Doom]

...and his face rebuilds in the portrait, too. Very nice touches.

[@flibbernodgets7018]

I like dehaka, but playing him in qm can sometimes leave you with nothing to do. Either you're the only "tank" and everything hurts and your cc isn't so reliable alone, or they have speedy people that just run away from you and you're always chasing teamfights like that kid no one likes running after the bus in the 90's ABC family movies, or you get Hanamura Temple and there are exactly 3 bushes on the entire map.

[@DustinFette]

Ive out healed healers before as dehaka. I did over 100k healing that game. The build you are playing is the one I have always loved playing. Going in and being super tanky is just so much fun. The slow on the W really helps too. The E talent at 16 should be baseline and maybe just increase the CD.

[@ZED_117]

As Dehaka I out heal healers easily, like 9 times out of 10

[@DustinFette]

Man you didnt take the E talent at 16. You can dark swarm while burrowed which makes that talent incredibly strong with the build. Its almost like the Malganis ult where he turns into a swarm and life steals.

17:16

[@vashviper9346]

This only confirms my love for Dehaka when I first started playing HOTS. He was free for the week. And MMmmmm boy that regen build always made me happy. I've had 2v5 fights with Dehaka ( the 2 being me and an Abathur ) And won those fights...and I didn't even have adaptation as an ult. ( This was around the days before Deathwing was brought into the game. Maybe like a couple weeks before then. )

[@majikdragon]

This is the best episode in a while. Good energy. Very clever and funny.

[@sarabutler131]

Okay, so, also, low key.... you played ridiculously well. He might be my favorite hero ever. He’s my stitches. Haven’t played in a long time, and I’m about to come back in #imcominginthisbush

[@onkelpappkov2666]

lol Hashtag got me.

[@scoople6]

Man Dehaka really does feel easy to be SUPER effective with, with the burrow, insane self heal, and a generous stun you just wreck house by walking in.

[@Omega068]

"Couldn't have done it better myself." hahah xD Top form on your commentary today! Keep it up! :D

[@PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

In other news: Pally finds out that Dehaka can be a viable main tank. :P That was my Dehaka build since day 1, back then when there were only "warriors" and all "warriors" were expected to be able to tank, one way or another and this build turns you basically to a close range Stitches thing with surprise pops from bushes. Excellent build and really easy to play.

[@tcurliss123]

Loved that subtle Monty Python reference with the "shrubbery" there!

[@onkelpappkov2666]

And now for something completely different.

[@clotho26]

with this build, you can get up to 5 life bars in one fight (natural one, 1 from your ult, 1 from when you activate your D, your passive regen, then another D activate if you teamfight long enough or have lvl 20 + lvl 4). Basically, you can't die unless they burst you real fast.

[@mattgarrett2583]

The lowering armor with dark swarm is good if your teams good.. I like the primal rage, as you turn into a melee dps at that point. You get an extra 10 max essence from the level 1 talent, and primal rage increases attack damage based on essence so at max 60 stack essence you're doing a lot more damage.. plus you're getting it back quickly with the dark swarm essence gain. So you're spamming healing in team fights and losing all your damage boost, but then getting it back as you gain essence from hero deaths and dark swarm so you can clean up easy

[@grellish]

🎵Where in the world is, packleader Dehaka. 🎵

[@KingBobbito]

If you feel like you're not doing a ton of damage as Dehaka you can try Feeding Frenzy and Primal Rage, really ups your single target damage and stun potential. Drag twice as often (if you just use it to get in 3 hits that's 6 seconds off your cooldown) and 60% damage bonus in most fights means suddenly you can't be ignored as easily.

[@Dyrtbag68]

Race car build is still more fun to play when you aren’t the tank.

[@yoyenedeti]

All i gotta say is " green means GO!"

[@uelideschwart4056]

Does no one take 1%AD per point of essence? I find it makes you hit HARD, especially with the bonus 10 max essence with tissue regen.

[@harrysboylan]

personally i dont take it cause i feel youd lose all your damage once you pop your essence

[@0promo]

That one is good if you don't need to self heal a lot.

[@JIerark]

I usually take it if i don't get enchanced agility since its hard to get value from dark swarm without it. With 60 essense dehaka's auto attacks deal the same amount as his drag

[@joeybisson2684]

@@harrysboylan even if you just pop it, just getting 10 essence would put you at the same damage boost as primal swarm, which can easily be done with 2 hits of essence claws, one regen globe, or a bunch of dark swarm hits.

[@sabasteonshane]

Not to be a hipster here.... I enjoyed and used Tissue Regen in most of my games, and I did not really enjoy the agility talent. That tankyness allowed me to get away with so much extra crap to make some good plays. Edit: Not sure if they changed it, but I used to drag into swarm to get that damage rolling out while they were stunned. Not sure if you can still do that.
