Introducing: The Stormcaller
Bringing Archery to Erenshor, Stormcallers go to battle by harnessing the power of the winds and skies through their bows, and they bring devastating burst damage to your group.
The Stormcaller is the most 'involved' class to play in Erenshor to date, requiring precise timing and planning, or else they may find themselves temporarily limited on their ability to deliver damage.
Stormcallers also have unprecedented abilities to allow for "solo" play for the challenge oriented players of Erenshor.
Notable Skills:
Imbue Arrow. A Stormcaller can use this ability while they are casting a spell. They will fire an arrow, which, when it passes through the channeling spell, will gain that spell's ability or damage and deliver it to its target. Additionally, the channeling spell will instantly complete and hit and it will also hit the target. This allows a Stormcaller to 'double up' on most of their spells as they see fit. The spell used to imbue the arrow will have a 3x longer cooldown than it normally would in return.
Precision (Passive). Scoring a ‘kill shot’ on any opponent will immediately refresh all cooldowns to 0.
Execute. When used on an enemy that is under 10% health, this otherwise normal attack gains a 10x damage modifier.
Skycall. Call lightning down and cause an area of effect short-duration stun.
Lightning Blast. A damaging spell line that deals magic damage to targets.
Blunt Arrow. Single target stun and spell interrupt.
Envenomed Arrow. Deliver a high damage DOT spell to the target.
Static Charge Spell Line. A magic based DOT spell line.
Blessed Quiver. Imbues all normal arrows with a chance to proc a high damage attack spell.
Targeted Wind. A spell line that slows enemy movement speed.
