Why not just go full skelly build? Shackler, Jailors, Trag'Oul's Essence, Skeletal Mages, Echoes of Death, Decrepify, Kalan's Edict. All of the synergies you would ever need.
I don't get why high level players still keep trying to find the "best talent and best build" since all of them are situational. Yeah, go Xul W build against Kael'thas and Jaina (double mage comp), that will go great. And then the silvers and golds on my team keep repeating those mistakes and claiming "w build is the best you noob". Sigh...
Not taking Jailer for a q build on Xul is blasphemy and low experienced play. 2 extra minons, above all they spawn ontop of the target you just rooted. And later the 40% move and attack speed will mean your minons, alone can wreck 50% of the life of a carry. Its that powerful..over 2 second cd, on an ability you will never run out of mana to use? Also for the shield, to be able to block auto attacks, 10 second longer cd but graymane, butcher, Valla, Raynor, Tychus...will all deal 0 damage for 3 seconds. It depends on enemy comp but if they have high AA champs that the only level 1 talent you will take. If they have a heavy melee comp Xul is best played with a full W build, as he is actually able to outsutain both a Varian AND a Sonya attacking him, while he just W auto attacks them to death, with immense as, high life steal etc. For minon builds, Jaior 100% of the time. Its literally mandatory if you want to see your damage and cc go up since later you will and should take the talet that decrease the movement speed of enemies hit by your minons or your Q attack. Jailor passive quest here is imperative to make this work extremly well in your favor. You can kite an entire enemy team this way, coupled in with frost mages and late game Xul can 1vs5 as both Q build or W build, if played correctly, hes that strong. Frost mages vs Poison nova. Only pick poison nova if you go melee build into heavy bruiser comps. You are the counter to melee comps since late game not only do you have the absurd attack speed and permanent uptime of your W slash, but you also decrease their damage by 40% and as such, become an absurd tank. Poison nova here is really good. For minon builds, unless the enemy team have massive area of effect to burn down your mages, its always frost mages.
How do you feel about the latest Xul changes?
Yas! Xul ccl meta confirmed! I just want to see main tank xul all day. Thx for the vid!
Brings back good memories of the summon Necro from D2 😁
Great analisis ty for the video ^^
Skeletal mages pairs really well with the slow at 1. pop that shield twice in one fight starting as early as 10
I like morales with xul, stim drone'd xul solves his engage problem and the pocket heals makes him tanky enough to main tank
Luv it

i get what you're saying but to be fair, he did identify a poke and tank build. its not a purposeless UBAR POWAH build guide or similar clickbait
