Monster Play: Warg Stalker



By: Martuk

The Warg Stalker is a creature of shadows. Its home resides in the darkness out of the view of its prey. These creatures hide themselves and strike with great ferocity from an unseen direction. Their attacks can stun, daze, and knock down enemies making them vulnerable to more attacks.

The Warg Stalker is a capable combatant and in some instances can fill the role of a tank. While it is capable of such a task its true powers lie within the shadows of combat. When in a group of its allies the Warg Stalker is most useful striking from the darkness while his allies pound on the enemy. While capable of filling the role of a tank in some cases it is not at its best in that position. Warg Stalkers should avoid direct solo combat with solid tank classes and avoid being caught alone by multiple enemies.
