dragon's Watcher

“Sometimes, the abyss blinks.”
The Watcher is primarily a Support Hero, focusing on Debuffs, Marks, and Healing. They can also Bleed and benefit from Marks themselves.
They can be placed in the back, middle, or front, although their ranged builds prefer the back and their melee builds prefer the first 3 ranks.

The Watcher's main gimmick is his highly effective but stressing friendly skills.
Corrupt Care shapes the flesh to heal it, but is horrifying and strains the body.
Accursed Aura gives an all-around buff that transitions into a brief team restoration, but the choking fumes cloud the mind.

They also have plenty of support effects, such as debuffing bleed resist, dodge, crits received, debuff chance and resist, breaking and bypassing (but not blocking further) guards, ignoring and removing stealth.
His effect chances are higher than normal, but his own resists are lacking, as are his defenses and speed.

To do well with the Watcher, one must time their ability casts to get the most out of them- lest the stress they cause rack up and result in... complications.
The need to use these friendly skills sparingly also encourages use of their debuffing and marking skills.
