Alarak Tips

1 Try to flank engage most of the time.

2. Use Deadly Charge to flank engage into the whole team and get a silence and Telekinesis on as many people as possible. Similar to Thrall's Sundering engage.

3. You cannot go over walls by pushing yourself with Telekinesis.

4. You can go over walls with Deadly Charge.

5. If using Quick Cast, try ALT+W to dash in a direction Alarak is facing, it will propell you in that direction automatically, you get a dash basically to dodge Skillshots and escape.
