Provocateur

Associated Skills: Charm, Guile, Intimidate
Striking someone through the heart doesn’t need a weapon. They often say the pen is mightier than the sword, but the mouth is just as effective. A few choice words can easily make your foes lose their minds, whether through rage, befuddlement, or despair. Who needs to get your hands dirty when your words can do all the work for you?
Provocateur is a useful Class for all sorts of builds. Pokemon support builds can use it to soften up foes for their pokemon or allies to finish off more quickly, and combat builds can use it to make their foes more vulnerable to their attacks. Of particular note is the breadth of effects one can get from combining this class with Hex Maniac or Roughneck.
