Elite Tauren Chieftain (E.T.C.), the Rock God, is a melee Tank Hero from the Warcraft universe.[1] The Power of the Horde incarnated by brutal rhythms and blistering guitar riffs into the form of the most elite Tauren chieftain to ever headbang across the surface of Azeroth. Don't bother putting on socks. He's just going to rock them off anyways.
E.T.C. is a Tank who supplies his team with a good bit of utility.
Background[ | ]
Elite Tauren Chieftain (abbreviated as ETC) is an American band comprised of employees of Blizzard Entertainment. The band's virtual alter ego, The Tauren Chieftains, appear in World of Warcraft as a band comprised of members of the Horde, and retain the logo used by the Level 70 Elite incarnation of the real-life band. Their gimmick revolves around writing content that is based on mainly subjects related to the Warcraft universe, though they have more recently extended into StarCraft and Diablo lore as well. The band debuted in 2003 with their first song, "Power of the Horde", which was featured in the credits of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
ETC, as he appears in Heroes of the Storm, is the mascot of that band.

While Guitar Solo is active, E.T.C. heals for 60% of his damage dealt by Basic Attacks. Basic Attacks increase the duration of Guitar Solo by 0.5 seconds.
❢ Quest: Gathering a Regeneration Globe permanently increases the healing per second of Guitar Solo by 5, to a maximum of 100.
❢ Reward: After gathering 20 Regeneration Globes, Guitar Solo also heals nearby allied Heroes for 50 Health every second while it is active.
Rockstar gives allies a stack of Block, granting 75 Physical Armor against the next Hero Basic Attack for 8 seconds, reducing the damage taken by 75%. Maximum 2 stacks of Block.
- Does not stack with other positive Physical Armor effects. Other defensive damage modifiers may stack.
Allows Powerslide to travel over walls and terrain. If no enemies are hit, reduce the cooldown by 7 seconds and refund the Mana cost.

Using a Basic or Heroic Ability also gives nearby allied Heroes 20% Movement Speed for 2.5 seconds.
Face Melt does 300% more damage to enemies recently affected by Powerslide.
- Pinball Wizard uses a separate damage value from Face Melt, causing the tooltip percentage to stack multiplicatively with offensive damage modifiers.
While Guitar Solo is active your Basic Attacks deal 35% more damage.
- Damage bonus stacks additively with other offensive damage modifiers.
Using a Basic or Heroic Ability releases two pulses of 18 damage. This deals 200% bonus damage to Minions and Mercenaries. The first occurs instantly. The second occurs 2 seconds later.
- Pulses do not stack. The second pulse for one Ability will not occur if you use another Ability before it activates. Note that the second pulse will always occur right when the Armor from Rockstar expires, so the visual icon for this Trait in the bottom left may help time Abilities for waveclear.
- When using Powerslide or Stage Dive, the first pulse is fired upon reaching the end location. When using Mosh Pit the first pulse is fired right after the windup completes.
- Damage bonus to Minions and Mercenaries stacks additively with offensive damage modifiers.

Passive: Heroes and Summons that attack your Hero have their Attack Speed slowed by 20% for 2.5 seconds.
- Passive is not applied if the enemy Basic Attack misses due to being Blinded.
- Passive Attack Slow does not stack with itself, nor the active component.
- Passive and active Attack Slow stack additively with other effects that can affect the target Hero's Attack Speed.
Mosh Pit refreshes the cooldown of Powerslide. E.T.C. can Powerslide during Mosh Pit, which also increases its duration by 2 seconds.
Stage Dive's impact area is 50% bigger, and its Slow is increased by 30%.
- Slow increase is additive.
Upon dying, a ghost uses Mosh Pit at E.T.C's location.
- The ghost's Mosh Pit activates immediately upon E.T.C.'s death with no windup. As the ghost is untargetable, it cannot be interrupted, moved or delayed through any means, and will channel with a normal range and full duration Mosh Pit.
Cooldown: 45 seconds
Active: Activate to give all nearby allied Heroes a Shield for 20% of their max Health for 3 seconds.
Cooldown: 70 seconds
Active: Activate to teleport to a nearby location.
- If this Talent is chosen while E.T.C. is affected by certain Stasis effects including Stitches's Gorge, it becomes usable while channeling Mosh Pit.
