1. Are Stunning Fist and Soul Breaker basically the same thing?
2. I read somewhere some tyrants were saying Force Buster and Force Storm weren't worth the skill points, could someone please elaborate on the skills and why they're useless?
3. I believe the C5 patch notes said cripples duration was being shortened, anyone know the specifics for the skill now?
4. Ogre totem doesn't heal anymore, do tyrants have something reliable to use in its place?
Im not a high level Tyrant so I could be wrong on some of the points.
1. Stunning Fist is your pre 40 Stun attack, and Soul Breaker is your main stun from 40 onwards.
2. I've also heard Force Buster isn't worth the SP as it doesn't hit the enemies in front of you reliably, but I gather Force Storm can do some good damage when your targeting groups of distance enemies.
3. Don't know, I haven't yet tried Cripple since C5 :)
4. As far as I know there is not an alternative to Ogre Totems heal, so I can only suggest you get friendly with your local Healer ;)

actually i noticed today a mob slowed me and it lasted considerably shorted than it would in C4
i dont remember reading anything about it but looks like a global slow nerf

Yes it was in the patch notes (at least the Blah notes had it)
Sleep was reduced from 2 Minutes to 30 seconds, and the effect was reduced in level. (At least mobs slow was, haven't tested it yet with my OL....it's a useless waste of MP like most of my other seals.)
Silence and Paralyze got similar (but not equal!) treatments for duration and effect.

One is pre-40 and the other post-40. You don't have to have stunning fist to get soul breaker. Pre-40 its really a waste of SP.

I have both, I have used force buster once to try it. Force storm does about the same damage, for about the same cost, but hits everything in a radius instead of just the ones in front of you. That said, I rarely use force storm either, though it is great against those 1/2 hp group mobs.

Nope. Although, if you hunt in solo areas and get the mp and hp drops you should do fairly well. The herbs of health were restoring 450 hp to my lvl 58 (-9 con) tyrant. Since they restore a %, if you aren't a con gimped tyrant like me, you should do even better.
