" Life is so fragile, and so meek.
It can bend with a single word spoken; an utter.
It can shatter with a single pierce; the smallest.
It can kneel to the weakest of sick; a drop.

I take life, not live it. "

"Q & A" SECTION:Q: Why are different skills types scattered among the Trees?
A: This allows for diversity, and encourages exploration of the 3 trees. All 3 trees will have something that will be useful to you and the build you want. The passives will also play a much bigger role then just being small boons. You may find skill and passive combinations that will be surprisingly effective to how you wish to play it.
Q: Why use Major Brutality only as a damage buff in this class?
A: Major Brutality is a "Universal" buff, that increases both magic and stamina based skills. With this in mind, this will make Minor Buffs from other Class Skills very valuable to the Tomb Keeper. Such as: Using ____ on skill use will give Minor Sorcery to allies for 20 seconds. This Minor buff will be synergized with Brutality, since it's Universal and cannot be overwritten by other Majors and Minors. So you will be achieving 25% + 8% more damage if playing with allies who have and use those class skills.
Q: This is a lot of minions, why so many?
A: I feel this game lacks heavily in the Conjuration School. Not to say bad things about the Sorc, but their minions are very weak, very few, and feel like they were not thought out well enough. An immobile Storm Atronach was also quite distasteful. With the Tomb Keeper, it focuses heavily in minion usage to deal all kinds of effects, while you yourself deal heavy damage or use them to assist you in Tanking and Healing. All the minions will feel they have genuine purpose, and at the same will still deal significant damage instead of a frugal amount.
