Elemental Assailant
Few can access the raw powers of the elements and even fewer have mastery over them. Wizards may dabble in frost and fire magic, may shape the earth and take to the skies but they are callow younglings in their comprehension of the elemental forces compared to Elemental Assailants.
For Elemental Assailants have not just studied the elements, they have partially become "of" the elements.
Elemental Assailants have exposed themselves to the primordial forces of the world, have dwelled near elemental nexi and let themselves be infused by elemental powers. This process is oftentimes accompanied by rigorous physical regimens which have toughened their bodies and disciplined their minds. And indeed they seek mastery through practice and training, not unlike monks. But unalike monks Elemental Assailants don't necessarily seek balance. They train to unleash elemental forces on the battlefield.
As such they are formidable foes, wielding swords of slicing winds and summoning arrows of flame. They can disperse like shifting water before their enemies and become one with the earth, travelling unseen. Elemental Assailants can deftly move around the battlefield and dispatch foes with elemental might but just as much may aid their comrades: cauterize their wounds or flush poisons from their blood, speed their allies' attacks and summon cleansing winds to free spell-addled minds.
Elemental Assailants are fast, ferocious and analytical fighters, dashing around a combat zone and taking split-second reactions to control the course of a battle.
