Vindicator Hodoon - the almost Forsaken


Having such victories as those against the Lord of the Ogres and the Lich King's right hand, Kel'Thuzad, Vindicator Hodoon has become a well honored ally of the light. His Hammer of the Naaru brings to life his need of physical retribution, while glowing with the revelation of the power of light that leads his path. To those the Vindicator deams worthy allies, added strength can be found while in the midst of battle. To all others, beware.

While Vindicator Hodoon was the first WoW mini that many of us ever saw, he's since been forsaken. Armor, resist, and health stats aren't the reason. His attack is on par and I'd dare say better than Graccus'. He is nearly the cheapest Alliance paladin in the game. With the armies of light dominating the game at the present time, why not let Hodoon have a little fun as well?

If you've made it this far out of hopes to find some new meta breaking team, it's time to stop reading. Our group lends itself to more casual play, and this team will more than likely only fit that role. With that being said, add Blessing of Kings to the line-up. Why Blessing of Kings? Because a 3 armor and 3 resist mage is just fun. Upon my readings concerning vindicators, I've found that they have very few trusted allies. I figured if you trust the person enough to be your only option of an ally out of the box, then Ruby Gemsparkle must have earned her keep somewhere along the line.

With Ruby goes 3 common mage cards by the names of Polymorph, Flamestrike, and Fire Blast. Fire Blast - instant attacks, how much more cost effective can you get? Flamestrike - gotta love a hard to kill AOE machine. Polymorph - so that Ruby can pick on someone her own size?...

Anyway, include Savin to the bunch so that Ruby hits that much more often. Include all of your typical paladin cards such as the shield, the hammer, heals and cleanses in any way, shape or form and voila.

You have now brought Hodoon back from the path of the Forsaken. He is surrounded by those that he can trust. Melee attacks are hardly worth making. Magic attacks aren't the most affective either. Sit across the table from someone with this team and Hodoon and his mightiest ally, the light, will defend you with all of their might. Will these allies be enough to ensure that you rise the victor? They can only do their part, the rest is up to you.
