Diablo Character Deckard Cain Announced As Upcoming Heroes Of The Storm Support At PAX East

PAX East is under way and one of the first panels of the day was focused on Blizzard's MOBA, Heroes of the Storm. During the panel -- which was streamed on Twitch -- a newcomer to the Nexus was announced. Deckard Cain, one of the most learned senior citizens in the Diablo universe, has joined the battle as a support class focused on healing and crowd control.

Deckard's an old man with a vast knowledge of magic and his abilities reflect that. His primary abilities include dropping healing potions on the field for his allies. His heroic abilities are the real show-stoppers -- one in a pretty literal sense. Deckard can use "Stay awhile and listen" to put his enemies to sleep by telling them a story. If that doesn't work, he can always smack them in the face with a few tomes using "Lorenado".
