Skirmisher is one of the class options for the archetype Warrior.
Warrior.
This class was first introduced in the Shadow of Nerekhall expansion.
While some Warriors perform best when given one enormous weapon, the Skirmisher excels with a weapon in each hand. The Skirmisher is light and fast, but still capable of dealing out damage. Even the overlord’s most powerful minions will quickly learn to fear the speed and power of the Skirmisher.
This class focuses on bonuses for attacking with one handed weapons and additional movement. The starting equipment for the Skirmisher are the Jagged Handaxe and Rusted Handaxe, and the skill Dual Strike.
