With the highest base Life (+80) of any Pact and Call of the Ancients halving incoming damage, Tethren excels as a frontline bruiser.

Tethren es un pacto inicial basado en el coraje construido alrededor del tanque y el daño cuerpo a cuerpo sostenido. Con la Vida base más alta (+80) de cualquier Pacto y la Llamada de los Ancestros que reduce a la mitad el daño recibido, Tethren sobresale como un matón de primera línea. Fellust recompensa los golpes consecutivos con daño acumulativo, lo que hace que el enfrentamiento sostenido sea la clave para un alto DPS.
