For example, the Warlock Stasis subclass is called Shadebinder, and lets you send out dark pulses of energy that crystalize enemies and then shatter them. The Hunter Stasis subclass Revenant can chuck giant crystals at enemies, as well as throw Batman-style batarangs that can be bounced of walls to hit opponents around corners. And finally the Titan Stasis subclass Behemoth does what Titans do best, dunking on enemies with a fist full of powerful crystal magic. It looks like at least one of the subclasses (maybe Behemoth?) can even summon a wall of Stasis crystals to create giant barriers that block enemy fire.
