Harness the power of storms to cause your enemies to ice over and freeze! Specializing in this tree grants +5% critical attack damage and +25 health.

[Tank Role] In the Tank role all damage you cause is penalized by 20%. Using normal Storms powers increases your defense and toughness by 90% and will attract the attention of enemies causing them to attack you, rather than allies. Finally you gain +3 Perception, improving your chances of detecting Stealth using enemies.

[Player versus Player] While in the Tank role you have a special advantage versus Gadgets and Mental power user. You are immune to their debuffing effects and highly resistant to their controls. Some abilities provide you and allies total immunity to Controller effects. Attacking them may inspire Confidence within you, briefly increasing your damage by 55%.
