Class Info- Defender

[Atlas]

The Defender is a very team oriented role in a party. They have great strength, and can endure the stress of combat on the body better than anyone else. The Barbarian draw their notice when he starts ripping legs off, showcasing his crushing strength. The Templar takes a more defensive role, goading the enemy to foolishly wade into his heave defenses.

Special Feature:

Exhaustion penalty reduced to 20%. Can go down to 0 later.

When your energy drops to 0, your character is exhausted and gets weaker by 40%. Defenders have less issues with this.

Talent Trees:

A Defender can either be a Templar or a Barbarian.

A Barbarian specialises in heavy weapons to overwhelm the opponent and deal heavy stunning or bleeding damage upon them.

A Templar specialises in shields in order to defend his/her allies from harm.
