This is a hard case to balance, really. While he can generate stacks on his own, it's unreliable unless you're low-life and have it skilled decently. Therefore, he's ultimatively better as an anti-caster type of support/mage.

That and I imagine him being rather squishy. He can be a force to be reckoned with when he has muchos stackos, but it's easily lost when one doesn't know his limits and position. That's the main reason why I set his difficulty so high.

I'll look into him again, but I need some time to imagine several scenarios.
