Stormwaker

 

 

The mage set for the automaton, the Stormwaker excels at debuffing the mob like the harlequin set. However the Stormwaker equipment boasts some new fancy magic for the puppeteer and his automation. Namely adding Black Magic to the mix. Though it has a more powerful magic capability the Stormwaker set comes with the same hand to hand ability as the original Harliquin. Head
