Next patch in beginning of July; vm5, zerk tank, new dngs etc

So new patch coming up with loads of stuff in 2-3 weeks. Zerk tank, warrior buff, gunner pvp nerf etc. Here's a good link to check out biggest changes

https://m.reddit.com/r/TeraOnline/comments/3aec2s/next_patch_preview_new_dungeons_and_class_changes/

Link leads to reddit post of Tera EU article, but NA and EU patches (foa) come out the same time.
Lots of info in comments section.

The most important thing ofc are the new gearsets: Ambit2, Disco2 and Vm5 tier 7 gear.

How to approach the new gear? Their strength is about like this: ambit<ambit2<disco<disco2<gen<vm5. Now, you can basically skip gen if you run disco +12 gear. Disco2+15 is as good as gen+13, and is much easier and cheaper to get than gen, and you can run the new dngs with disco2+12 to get vm5 gear. But if you are close to gen go for it, gen+15 is as good as vm5+13, so your choice basically.

New jewellery set comes out too, not much info about it. Sorcs and warriors get buffed a lot. Gunner AB nerf is real and breaks my heart (lol jk its still op in pve)

Sry about typos, on mobile.

Get prepared! Save your money and mwa.

With love, Aerye.
