Introduction
The Striker is a high mobility class with small Area of Effect (AoE) skills. At the early leveling stages, this class is slower at clearing bigger mob groups compared to other classes until you unlock and invest in your bigger AoE skills. Nevertheless, stronger elite and boss monsters are an easy target for Striker's single target focused skills.
During the leveling process, focus on equipping the highest Item Level gear while prioritizing the Crit and Specialization Combat Stats to increase your damage and clear speed. To level quickly, focus on doing Main Story Quest with some exceptions.
For a walk-through of the leveling quests, check out the Leveling Guide.
