Witchhunter is an Ascendancy class for the Mercenary.

Overview

The Witchhunter has access to passives that grant general offensive bonuses, as well as specialized bonuses towards certain types of enemies. The Witchhunter is a potent boss killer, with access to Culling Strike and Decimating Strike to remove a chunk of their life, and the ability to reduce the enemy's Concentration and make them more vulnerable to damage and use their special abilities less frequently as you continue to hurt them. Sorcery Ward gives him an elemental barrier in exchange for armour and evasion, and Zealous Inquisition and clear packs of enemies when it triggers.
