[edit] War Lion Abilities

A White Lion learns to train his War Lion in three seperate ways, three distinct sets of abilities useful in different circumstances, and each most designed to work best with a specific mastery path. While your War Lion may only be trained in a single set of abilities at any given time, you can change which set he will use freely and at no Action Point cost.

[edit] Trained to Hunt

These abilities are paired with the mastery Path of the Hunter.

[edit] Trained to Threaten

Icon	Ability Name	Ability	Type	Path	Training	Description

[edit] Trained to Kill

These abilities are paired with the mastery Path of the Guardian, allowing the White Lion to increase the efficacy of his War Lion, and keep the enemy focused on him while his pet does the lion's share of the damage.

[edit] Abilities Gained From Mastery Paths

These abilities can be gained by adding mastery points into different mastery paths. These points also increase the 'effective level' of every base ability in their path, making them more powerful.

[edit] Path of The Hunter

White Lions who choose the path of the Hunter embrace the ways of the wild and fight shoulder to shoulder with their War Lions. The two stride into battle side by side in a balanced assault that is capable of spreading damage around to multiple targets with ease. This path requires the least amount of Master and Pet coordination so damage against a single foe is lessened.

	Pounce	Action	5	Damaging	You pounce forwards, leaping towards your target and causing damage to all enemies within 20 feet of you when you land.

	Hack and Slash	Tactic	11	Buff	Reduces the action point cost of Slashing Blade and Hack by 50%.

[edit] Path of The Axeman

White Lions who choose this path focus on the Mastery of their fine woodsman's axes, preferring instead to use their lions as distractions as they approach from the side or rear. The path of the Axeman requires good coordination with one's War Lion or group members so that one can be allowed to strike from an unguarded flank.

[edit] Path of The Guardian

White Lions who choose this path focus on diverting attention from their War Lions or Group members so that they can do maximum damage. The path of the guardian does not directly increase the White Lion's own defenses significantly but focuses more on reducing his opponents' damage output and distracting them from the War Lion or individual group mates.
