Squig Herder damage / utility question.

[photek]

Hey,

recently had my eyes all over Goblins, I just seem to love the race and both the Shaman and Squig Herder are appealing to me. Now the reason the Squig Herder is appealing is ranged DPS and not a magic user (as BW / Magus) and the Squigs seem to spice up the class a little. I'm wondering if anyone has played a Squig Herder and how his damage / survivability is, is he able to do as much damage as the other counterclasses or is he more of a utility class (snares, roots, traps etc).

Also, is there some videos that specifically focus on Squig Herder for a longer period where you get to see them in full action ?

Greets,
a possible future Squig Herder! ;)

just like the other ranged archetypes, the squig herder does lower single target DPS than a meele class, however he brings a certain amount of AE damage which will come quite handy in massiv battles.
On the survivability, he appeard to be a very soft target, which means he droped dead pretty fast once meele DDs reached him.
Can´t say anything on snare/stun/omgIwhatTheHellOutaHere abilities as i din´t play the calss myself
