He is talking about the Empire not the Thalmor here . The Empire is the only thing keeping the Thalmor from ending the world . Giving Skyrim to Ulfric basically ensures that will happen since it greatly depletes the ability of the Empire to fight them off when they inevitably attack again . <| sep |> Not sure right now which is why it is strong . It used to be the RNG based hero power that you couldn ' t reliably use . AOE board clears that were too RNG based . Or a lack of early game which was far too weak against other board centric decks . But it used to be so bad in the early game it couldn ' t use totems and they got too many early game tools . And I think Blizzard REALLY UNDERESTIMATED Spirit Claws . . But that doesn ' t mean classes don ' t have them , or shouldn ' t have them . I mentioned the classes that I ' m more familiar with or seems more defined . I ' m sure someone could make a more comprehensive list of all the classes .
