Comments
The Edgelord of Vengeance is a very attack-focused merc, just like his normal HS counterpart. He works very well with attack buffs (like Cariel or Tirion) and attack debuffs (like Xyrella or Mannoroth).
He is alright, but I dont think he has as much endgame or PVP potential as some other mercs.
Illidan's damage output seems very impressive, provided he is given time to ramp up. He is hard-countered by abilities like Xyrella's Blinding Luminance, but hopefully not many of those exist in PvE. His equipment seems very good in that I can't find one that is distinctly better than the rest; taking less damage with Demon Shroud is great, but so too can the double-strike of the Warglaives or the enhanced ramp of Razor Fist. It really comes down to what your personal preference is, which is how it should be.
All-in-all, Illidan looks good, and I'm sure I can find a place for him on my roster.
I'll agree that I wouldn't want to see them in every battle, but I do hope that there's enough variety among PvE enemies to make the player hesitant to go all-in on one build or one specific merc.
