Overview

The party's anchor: it drags enemies in with pulls, holds their attention with threat-building strikes and soaks hits behind blocks and shields. Its damage is modest, but stuns, knockdowns and party shields make it very hard to remove from a fight.

Strengths

  • Highest survivability of the eight classes
  • Ranged pulls and taunts to control enemies
  • Party shields and damage redirection

Weaknesses

  • Lowest damage, so solo play is slow
  • Holding threat on many enemies takes practice
