I don’t know how about you guys & girls but I already bought pre-order pack with collectioner’s edition.

I have to admit that I wasn’t playing my second sub-class (tyrant) for a quite long time. There was few reasons of that thing. First and most important – i was trying to reach 78lev with my Fortune Seeker. Second, with last chronicle NCsoft nerfed Tyrants pretty bad, taking away their main totem, which was Bizon (it reuse time increased to 5min). After that i lost a heart to my tyrant and focused on FS.

But as you can see, last days i managed to get this 78lev on my FS so this is a best time to start playing Tyrant again. Of course, I do play in duo with my Shilien Elder (and her Greater Wolf)… at this point you can ask “and what happened”? Well it was like a blast, i got shocked – Tyrant with SE and wolf are ultimate duo (or trio maybe?). I’m not sure if patch notes mentioned any change to Ogre totem (which is now our main skill) but i think it recived pretty nice boost. But it’s not about Ogre totem which is nothing special itself. The difference is… new SE skill called Stigma. This “thing” causing target to recive 50% more melee damage and last 30sec.! If you take it with VR, natural hight DPS of Tyrant and Greater Wolf reasults are trully amazing – mobs are vanishing in matter of seconds. Seriously you have to see thins on your own eyes.

There is one upside tho… if you are using VR there is no damn chance to get below 30% of your HP to use Zeal or/and Bizon. I don’t know how do you feel about that, buy I myself can live with that
