Land of the Dead – Tyrant Armor

A new end-game dungeon means a new Armor Set.  Yay!  While the stats and bonuses have been highly debated and adjusted, the artwork is some of the best in WAR to date.  The following post includes not just the current Set Bonuses to help you determine if it’s something you want, but also images of the armor itself.  It is presented in its undyed format on generic characters and while the pictures aren’t huge, they do give you a good idea of what the armor looks like on your class.  Please keep in mind, these images are without weapons, accessories or trophies, so your final Land of the Dead setup has the possibility to look even more epicly cool since those items also have some amazing artwork (especially the 5-pc accessory cloaks!).

I hope you’re all having fun in the Land of the Dead and, as always…

Enjoy!

So I don’t usually do lots of media in my posts, but the artwork is just so amazing on the majority of these that I felt everyone needed to see them.  Even if you don’t like the stats on your class’ set, the looks alone may drive you to obtain it just because.  (Or in my case, the stats make me want it even though the IB armor is plain, like most of their armor. hehe)

For those that haven’t figured it out yet, sets and their bonuses are usually assigned to sections of class-types.  For instance, most know that Warrior Priests and Disciples of Khaine tend to share the same types of stats/bonuses.  However, classes like Black Orc and Swordmaster share them as well.  Because of that, I am going to clump these in what should be their matchups so as to only list the stats once and then will have the images of the armor after.

Note : New types of set-proc abilities were introduced with the Land of the Dead.  In many cases, they adjust to your stats, so pay attention to these on your sets as they are very interesting and, in at least one case, worth suiting up fully for.

General Information

The Tyrant set is obtainable in the Land of the Dead.  While the Gloves and Belt are purchaseable via tokens from the merchant in your Expedition Camp in the Necropolis of Zandri, the rest of it comes from the Tomb of the Vulture Lord.

Unlike past dungeons, this set introduces a new system for looting it.  The items drop from the Bosses as repairables in three different ways.  First, the Boots and Helm drop as repairables for either Tanks/Healers or DPS classes.  Second, the Shoulders drop as repairables for each Race.  Finally, the Chest drops as repairable by all.  If I remember correctly, it’s a 50% chance that an armor piece will drop off any given Boss.  All in all, these changes make for a much more enjoyable looting experience while crawling through the Tomb as compared to other dungeons.

Also, since each Boss is in effect a PQ, you’re also earning the tokens you need for the purchaseable pieces, as well as other goodies.  So even if you’re not so excited about your set, completing the Tomb of the Vulture Lord will still get you things you need to customize your character the way you want to.
