Gameplay
"I suffer the innocents and guilty alike. There are no innocents."
Offending a troll is as easy as lifting a hand. A bitter and contentious race, trolls enjoy quarrels and strife, without any excuse to raise their voices in arguments. Males mature in underground chambers located directly below where the eldest daughters live, fed and entertained while giving nothing. Usually the male remains like this for many years beyond adulthood, while the female head of the family provides care and nurture. When the young trolls were finally driven out of their underground chambers, they gathered with their comrades, forming rebellious factions that loudly complained about all sorts of troubles.
And no matter how much trolls love to argue, it seems rare that a troll is ostracized by his fellow humans because of his bad temper. The fate of the troll as above is named Jah'rakal, a merchant from the remote areas of the Hoven forest. So delusional, so cruel, and so cruel that even other trolls in the same boat could not stand it. In one snarky profanity when he claimed most of the spoils from his recent conquest, his comrades burst into dismay. Turned around, then beat him with a mace, then kicked him out of the camp. Frustrated with being chased, he returned the next day, armed with his vessel, and slashed at them all, one by one. And then he cut blood and swore: he will always be a force of war for himself. Now he roams the world in the name of the Troll-warrior lord, bitter and angry, a noble commander of a one-man army.

Tips & Tactics
General
You should gain a point first on Berserker's Rage to get the ability to switch between ranged and melee. Then give priority to Whirling Axes to take damage and the ability to "stop lane" from this skill. The Fervor skill should increase by 1 point at first, which is quite enough for you to solo Roshan, please maximize this skill in late game.
