In light of the many tragedies that befell the people of Gilneas, Genn Greymane embraces his inner beast. He employs his bestial fervor and human tenacity in tandem to ensure the safety of the Alliance, rather than succumbing to the worgen curse.<ref name="BlizzCon2015">[http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/19953230/new-heroes-battlegrounds-announced-at-blizzcon-2015-11-6-2015 New Heroes & Battlegrounds Announced at BlizzCon 2015]</ref> Greymane is a high damage [[Assassin]] who wears down enemies from afar and dives in for the kill. Greymane's ability to quickly shapeshift between Human and Worgen forms makes him a versatile and formidable threat in any combat situation. Whether firing from behind the lines of battle, dousing enemies in explosive Gilnean Cocktails, or pouncing fang-first into battle, the Lord of the Worgen will do what is necessary to protect all he holds dear. Those who threaten Greymane or his people would do well to fear the shadows, for they will undoubtedly meet their end at the vicious claws within.<ref name="BlizzCon2015"/> ==Background== {{Warcraft-section}} Years of hardship and personal loss have not broken {{wow|Genn Greymane}}; they have shaped him into a ferocious warrior, a cunning statesman, and a loyal ally. After Genn Greymane became king of {{wow|Gilneas}}, he pursued a doctrine of isolationism. He refused to join the {{wow|Alliance of Lordaeron|Alliance}}, and he even built the colossal {{wow|Greymane Wall}} to close off his nation from the rest of the world. In his hubris, he believed Gilneas could handle any threat that came its way, without the help of outsiders. Everything changed when a horrifying curse engulfed his nation. The affliction transformed many Gilneans—including Greymane—into bloodthirsty wolf-beasts known as {{wow|worgen}}. As the curse continued to spread, [[Sylvanas|Sylvanas Windrunner]] and her undead {{wow|Forsaken}} invaded Greymane's weakened kingdom. A large number of brave Gilneans lost their lives defending their nation... even the king's son, {{wow|Liam Greymane|Prince Liam}}. Hardship after hardship befell Greymane and his people, until they were forced to flee their home and find refuge with the {{wow|Alliance}}. A lesser king would have crumbled in the face of these tragedies. Greymane did not. In the years since Gilneas's fall, he has become one of the Alliance's fiercest supporters. He has also learned to control the worgen curse in his blood and use it as a weapon. Though Greymane dreams of reclaiming Gilneas, he will first focus his efforts on securing peace for the Alliance. He and his people are prepared to fight with sword and fang against anything that endangers the Alliance, whether it is the {{wow|Burning Legion}} or Sylvanas and her {{wow|Forsaken}}. == Gameplay == Greymane is an [[Ranged Assassin]] that can switch between his Human form (with ranged oriented attacks) and his Worgen form (capable of dealing powerful melee attacks). Each form has their own set of Abilities, granting Greymane versatility in terms of combat and how to [[engage]] opponents. Properly using Greymane's alternate forms is absolutely key to his mastering. For general Hero combat, one should associate the Human form with lower, safer damage. The Worgen form should be reserved for situations where [[burst]] damage is needed and relatively safe to carry out. === Strengths === *Outstanding on-demand [[burst]] damage *Excellent [[PvE]] damage output and [[waveclear]] *Potent [[duelist]] *Strong [[poking]] potential === Weaknesses === *Offers zero utility beyond raw damage *Low survivability albeit having a reasonably-sized Health pool *Vulnerable to [[crowd control]] and [[blind]]s *Absolutely no access to [[self-sustain]] *Lack of sustained damage in extended teamfights, especially if he cannot maintain ''Inner Beast''. == Abilities == :''See '''[[Data:Greymane|Data page]]''' for a table of scaled values at key levels.'' {{Skills}} == Talents == {{talent table}} == Builds and guides == {{heroGuideList}} ==Skins== {{/Skins}} ==Portraits== {{/Portraits}} ==Sprays== {{/Sprays}} ==Emojis== {{/Emojis}} ==Quotes== {{main|{{PAGENAME}}/Quotes}} == Trivia == * Greymane was first mentioned in the manual for ''Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness'' (December 1995). ** Greymane made his first novel appearance in ''{{wow|Day of the Dragon}}'' (February 2001), and his first game appearance in ''World of Warcraft: Cataclysm'' (December 2010). * Greymane is voiced by Cameron Folmar. <ref>https://twitter.com/AndreaToyias/status/935273368890175489</ref> * Greymane was under consideration as far back as 2011.<ref name = "ArtTech">2011-10-23, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3R6ZqVQ3WE&feature=related BlizzCon 2011 - Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm and Blizzard DOTA - Art & Technology Panel (Full)].
