Ancestral Guard / Terror
Ancestral warriors stand guard, strike with spectral terror, then kneel until they rise again.
Ancestral warriors stand guard around you and cut down enemies that come too close. Each strike looses a terrifying spectral burst on the horde, then the ancestor kneels at its post until it rises again.
