Barbarians

Elder Skarg earns a 4.4/5.0 rating because he offers a unique blend of high-ceiling single-target burst and exceptional crowd control that scales with the complexity of the encounter. His ability to place HP Burns through multi-hits makes him one of the most reliable damage dealers for Hydra, while his passive damage reduction from Legendaries gives him a survivability edge over typical 'glass cannon' attackers. He is held back from a perfect 5.0 only by his steep gear requirements and his lack of utility in traditional Clan Boss teams. Compared to other Force attackers like Tomb Lord or Drext
