warcraft 3 FROZEN THRONE

any months have passed since Archimonde and the Burning Legion were defeated at the Battle of Mount Hyjal...

The stalwart night elves, led by the Arch Druid, Furion Stormrage and the Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, have vanished back into the shadows of Ashenvale Forest - intent to heal the ancient lands that were scarred by the Legion's vile corruption.

The battle-weary orcish Horde, led by the idealistic Warchief, Thrall, has settled in the harsh, eastern hills of the Kalimdor Barrens. Finally able to claim a homeland of their own, the orcs work tirelessly to found and protect their new nation of Durotar.

The human survivors of Lordaeron, under the command of the Sorceress, Jaina Proudmoore, have also settled along the eastern coast of the Barrens. The island citadel of Theramore was erected to safeguard the last, rag-tag remnants of the failing human Alliance.

...And Arthas, the newly crowned King of Lordaeron, has driven the undead Scourge to eradicate the last vestiges of resistance to his iron rule. His kingdom - the once proud bastion of human might and nobility - has become a plagued realm of death and sorrow. Now, driven by haunting visions of the Frozen Throne of Icecrown, Arthas plans to tighten his grip over the rest of the world.

* * *

...Still, one dark soul still remains at large...

For in some shadowed corner of the world, the wayward creature known as Illidan Stormrage plots... and awaits...

Azgalor - Pit Lord

One of the many regents of Lord Archimonde who became stranded on the physical plane after the Legion fell in Kalimdor, the devil Azgalor's love of destruction allowed him to accept the Lich King's invitation to help lead the Scourge in conquest with few regrets. After all, this PitLord is happiest when he conjures fire to scour his opponents from above, roasting them slowly as the dead literally explode from beneath their feet. With such hateful power in the hands of a monster such as this, it's no wonder he inspires so much terror as he roams across the battlefield.

Ish~kafel - Dark Seer

Thought by some to be among the most cunning and manipulative among the Scourge's varied champions, the dark seer Ish'kafel, living in exile from his people, is also the most secretive, for he speaks to no one but the Lich King himself.

GONDAR THE BOUNTY HUNTER

Bottle is good for Gondar as he will be hunting and ganking his prey early game. It solves his mana problems during that stage. Deso is the cheapest way to increase his damage, and it synergizes well with Track’s armor reduction. BoT allows better chasing. MKB is the next best way to increase his DPS to gear him for the late game.
If the game lasts longer, a Heart should be gotten to increase his HP, followed by Assault Cuirass and/or a second MKB.

PURIST THUNDERWRATH THE OMNIKNIGHT*

Omniknight is a support hero. His spells reflect that. Therefore he should get support items. Arcane Ring gives Omniknight a much cheaper source of mana regen than Guinsoo. Necrobook is great for Omniknight, as it synergizes well with Degen Aura, and gives a nice boost in his mana and strength. Mekansm is another great supportive item on Omni. BoT is obtained next so that nobody can escape you, and since he needs to be with his allies always, BoT is pretty important for Omniknight. Radiance further helps

Nortrom - The Silencer

Hailing from the magical community of Quel'Thalas, Nortrom is one of the strongest Elven warriors defending the integrity of the lands. Mastering the ancient art of glaive-throwing, and combining it with the volatile nature of the Blood Elves' arcane magic, he is able to disrupt the magical energies in his enemies. By binding his magical powers to his glaive, he is able to cause damage beyond devastation, gaining intelligence from every kill. Concentrating all his energies, he can cause chaos within his enemies' magical pools, making them unable to cast spells. He is determined to fend off the Scourge and their demon magic until he has breathed his last.

NORTROM THE SILENCER

Nulls are IMO better than Bracers because it amplifies Silencer’s glaive damage. However, you may get Bracers if facing heavy nukers. Guinsoo is without a doubt the best item for Silencer, giving him damage, glaive damage, mana regen, and a disable to boot. BoT is obtained to help at chasing and teleporting. IMO it’s better than Treads. Silencer can improve his AS through Hyper Stone. Linken’s is listed as the final item as Silencer makes use of all 3 stats.
If the game drags on, upgrade Hyper Stone to Assault Cuirass, followed by Skadi, Butterfly and/or Radiance
