Mystical Tauren caster with Ethereal Form, which allows him to avoid physical damage. Believed to be the ill omen of a coming age, white Tauren are held in near reverence by their people, often becoming reclusive priests who wander the land in search of kindred spirits. Good at manipulating damage and destroying summoned creatures. Attacks land and air units.

Another powerful spellcaster in the Orc horde.

Spells & Abilities

Spirit Link
	Cast Type : Active  Ability Type:  Magical Target Type : Unit Target Links 4 units together in a chain. All units with Spirit Link on them will live longer, by distributing 50% of the damage they take across other Spirit Linked units.
Cast Requirements : 75 0 s  Range:  750 Targets Allowed : Air, Ground, Friend, Self, Organic Duration : 75 s Units linked : 4 Damage distributed : 50% Hotkey : R

Notes

Use Spirit Link to even out the damage among troops. Damage sustained over Spirit link is never fatal. Fatal damage sustained via Spirit Link reduces unit's hp to 1 hit point, and dispels Spirit Link.

Disenchant
	Cast Type : Active  Ability Type:  Magical Target Type : Area Target Removes all buffs from units in a target area. Deals 250 damage to hostile summoned units.
Cast Requirements : 100 0 s  Range:  650 Area of Effect : 250 Damage to summons : 250 Upgrade required : Spirit Walker Adept Training Hotkey : D

Notes

This ability removes both positive and negative buffs from units.

Cast Requirements : 250 30 s  Range:  350 Targets Allowed : Ground, Player Units, Dead, Tauren Hit Points : 100% Mana Points : 25% Upgrade required : Spirit Walker Master Training Hotkey : C

Notes

• This is an incredibly powerful ability which allows you to return dead Tauren to life! If you use Tauren, this is a must have ability.
• See further: corpse.

Ethereal Form
	Cast Type : Active  Ability Type:  Magical Target Type : No Target Turns the Spirit Walker ethereal, making him immune to physical damage, but unable to attack. Ethereal units can only be harmed by Magic attacks and spells.
Cast Requirements : 30 s Hotkey : F

Notes

The Spirit Walker can't attack while in this form. Use this ability if you want to make it more difficult for the enemy to kill the Spirit Walker. The enemy can't hurt them unless they have units with magic attacks or with magic spells. Spirit Walkers in Ethereal Form take 66% bonus damage from magic and spell damage.

Spirit Walkers start in Ethereal form. When Spirit Walkers change from Ethereal to Corporeal form, they cannot become Ethereal again for 30 seconds.

The spirits of the earth guide me.	The spirits surround me... I answer the call. What troubles you? I dreamed of this. I am one with the earth.	Just as I foresaw. Nag'grada'baash. I see. It is destined. Mother earth guide me.	Return to the earth! Hoof to the head! Chouk'taga'loush!	The fury of the ancients is upon you!	Death is not the end. We're all spirits in the material world. I say y'all gonna make me lose my mind up in here. My hoof and your ass have an appointment. Fear my moo of fury! Yes, the spirits are talking to me. *farts* Oh yes, they´re coming in clearly. *fart* Ahh, now they're forming into a gaseous material. *fart* I can actually see them now. *fart* The spirits are very powerful today.
