Assailment

Assailment
Wields Javelin and clever tactics to harm and hinder foes.

Though the Warden can not specialize in Assailment, the ability to harry enemies when needed can be invaluable. Assailment techniques are focused on increasing javelin damage, debuffing enemies, and augmenting your core gambits, useful when fighting either alone or in a fellowship.

Obtained by spending Trait Points in the Warden Assailment Trait Tree.
