Storm Chaser
Note: This skill tree is similar in nature to the aerotheurge, and the skills themselves could just be added to that skill tree

Premise:
This skill tree is all about pushing and pulling effects, which is being added with D:OS2. Thematically, the skill gains this through harnessing the power of wind and lightning.

Wind Lasso (Active)
A powerful jet-stream latches on to two unsuspecting foes, and drags them kicking and screaming together.

The Storm Chaser is surrounded by a vortex of air, making it hard to get in close.
It requires one additional action point to move adjacent to the Storm Chaser.
