They are a unique type of defender for their allies, their protection being somewhat a byproduct of the sheer devastation they inflict upon the enemy. They are not simply a conduit for the wrath of the storm, though, but instead wield it with thought and practice, shaping it into devastating strikes and unique abilities some would almost comparable to spellcraft, mimicing the sometimes unpredictable and sudden wrath of a tempest, changing these abilites like the weather with the seasons. Though they may seem dangerous and collateral-prone, Strikers are mindful to shape their lightning around and away from their allies, diffusing it through a combination of sheer will and practiced talent.<br> | ||
