Tree identity
Periodic effects and direct attacks need to fit around movement and the life of each target. The class’s wider utility remains relevant alongside its offensive task.
In 3.3.5a this is a point tree, not the formal specialization system of later expansions. Points can be shared across the class's three trees.
