With v2.5 Death wizards have come into the role of defense clearers. Death ray a plant and you gain more life than it can do damage to you. A defense clearer kills defenders and plants. Everything likes to kill you and does so pretty well. Killers usually dont get to you, but long range killers and snipers kill you regularly.
Killers kill other killers and get sniped.
Long range killers can only be sniped or killed inadvertantly by a defense clearer throwing a grenade or tornado behind you. Defense clearers are suicide kings. They live only to do destruction and die, so their method of demise is irrelevant and usually by a defender. Know your position and know your place in the food chain. Treat every game like it's a job.
