Overview
The Defender is a long-range support specialist. This archetype is effective with ranged attacks (though not quite on par with the Blaster), but the Defender's true worth shines in another area. Defenders are the premier helpers in the game—they are the best at strengthening their teammates' abilities (buffing) and weakening foes (debuffing). They aren't built for lengthy hand to hand combat, though they aren't fragile, either. The Defender needs to keep an eye both on his teammates and the enemy—in order to see which requires his powerful attention first!
The Defender's powersets are:
Primary: Buff
Secondary: Ranged
The Defender has low hit points and low damage.
