Spirit Stalkers
Overview
The Spirit Stalkers are an enemy group that appear in Night Ward. They are bound to the will of Shadowhunter as a sort of physical example of the circle of life and the need of all things to feed.
Enemy Types
Minions
Shadow Hound
The Spirit Stalkers are the souls of predators bound to the twisted will of the Shadow Hunter, the embodiment of Nature's primal need for life to feed on life. This spirit remnant was once a living animal, but in death its soul is now bound to Shadow Hunter's will, roaming the wilds of Night Ward on a never ending hunt.
Powers
Dire Howl PBAoE, Moderate DMG (Energy), Minor DoT (Negative Energy), -RES(Foe, All), Chance for Terrorize(Foe)
You unleash a dreadful howl that strikes fear into those arrayed against you. Affected targets suffer energy damage, then negative energy damage over time as the howl's influence takes effect. Targets also suffer reduced resistance to all damage types. There is a small chance that a target will be rendered afraid by the howl, but any target so affected cannot be made afraid again for a long while.
Raking Claws Melee, Moderate DMG(Lethal), Moderate DoT (Lethal)
You tear at your target with a vicious claw attack, causing lethal damage. Your target is left with wounds which cause additional lethal damage over time.
Shadowfire Ranged, High DMG(Negative Energy/Fire), Minor DoT(Fire)
You unleash a cone of dark fire from deep within, scorching all targets within a cone in front of you. These targets suffer both fire and negative energy damage, as the fire licks at the soul of the target. The target is also set ablaze, suffering additional fire damage over time.
Touch of the Beyond Melee, Moderate DoT (Negative Energy), +RES(Foe, Heal)
You snap at your target, afflicting them with a painful bite that causes negative energy damage over time. This attack also decreases the effectiveness of healing on your target, an effect which is refreshed each time the target is bitten, until healing has no effect.
Damage Resistance Resistance
The Spirit Stalkers are naturally resistant to several types of damage.
Lieutenants
Huntmaster
The Spirit Stalkers are the souls of predators bound to the twisted will of Shadow Hunter, the embodiment of Nature's primal need for life to feed on life. While other creatures are ruled by the laws of Nature, mankind has ever sought to dominate it instead. Shadow Hunter has harnessed this instinct and molded the ruthless will of man into his deadly Huntmasters. No creature is beyond their cruel ambition to hunt down and make into a trophy to display their dominance.
Powers
Blazing Arrow Ranged, Moderate DMG(Lethal), Minor DoT(Fire)
You fire a blazing arrow at your foe, dealing lethal damage. The flames wreathing the arrow cause the target to catch fire and sustain fire damage over time.
Crystal Arrow Ranged, High DMG(Lethal/Cold), Chance for Hold(Foe)
You fire an arrow of crystalline nether energy at your target. This arrow pierces the target, causing lethal damage, while the frigid temperature of the arrow causes additional cold damage. This temperature has a chance of crystallizing vapor in the air around the target, giving a small chance of holding the opponent.
Entangling Arrow Ranged, Immobilize(Foe), -Fly(Foe), -Speed(Foe, All), -Rech(Foe)
You fire an arrow which releases a strong net upon impact. This net immobilizes an affected target and brings flying targets to the ground. Additionally, there is a lingering loss of movement and attack speeds after the target is freed from the net.
Shadow Arrow Ranged, Minor DMG(Smashing), Minor DoT(Negative Energy), Chance for Debuff(Foe)
You fire an arrow of nether energy at your target. The target suffers smashing damage from the force of the blow and suffers negative energy damage over time, as the energy seeps into their soul. There is a chance that the target will be immobilized by this attack. There is also a chance that some of the spirit energy will splash on collision with the target, creating a pool of nether energy at the target's feet.
