Stormbringer
A storm-brawler who banks lightning in his weapon while meleeing, then discharges it as an instant, free Lightning Bolt mid-swing without ever dropping his melee rhythm. Strength powers the lightning, so this fighter wears mail and swings hard.
Talents
Your melee strikes gain an 8% chance per rank (up to 24%) to discharge stored lightning for a burst of bonus nature damage.
Your fury feeds the storm — melee strikes have a 20% chance to bank an extra Maelstrom charge, reaching your instant free Lightning Bolt faster.
Discharging a stored Lightning Bolt gains a 10% chance per rank (up to 30%) to quicken your hands, increasing attack and cast speed by 15% for a few seconds — the storm keeps you swinging.
Your Stormstrike channels the earth — every Stormstrike hit wraps you in earthen armor (+12 armor for 6s).
Every stored Lightning Bolt you discharge stacks a rising storm (+4% damage per stack, up to 5). Rank 2 makes the surge fire on every discharge.
Tempest Strike becomes Voltaic Strike — chains to 2 nearby enemies at 50% damage.
Chain Lightning becomes a 200-radius AoE around you that stuns struck enemies for 1s.
Discharging a stored Lightning Bolt mid-combo resets your Stormstrike (once per 6s), so a free bolt never costs you a melee beat.
CAPSTONE — ascend into a living storm, wreathing yourself in a doomwind that massively empowers and accelerates your melee strikes for 15 seconds.
Talent points are earned one per level from level 3, for 18 in total. Tiers unlock on points already spent in this specialization.
