Cygnus are getting hypers

When was the "Lightning stacking" mechanic added into the game? As well as the added elemental weaknesses to ToT mobs?
I can't remember if both were added during the first "balance" patch for Paladins or later during BB...

Lightning stacking definitely was not part of BB, but way earlier. I don't remember exactly when, but I do remember having that ability before BB. The first third job I ever got was a White Knight, way back when. At some point I wanted to try playing the game again (Like after Cygnus was added) and I had the ability to stack Lightning Charge.

I don't know a thing about ToT prior to BB, though, so I can't answer that one.

Why doesn't Nexon just remove the level cap and give Cygnus 4th job? It would save the time of having to create Cygnus instructors as classes and it would finally be worthwhile to make Cygnuses. The level 120 cap made sense years ago when they were first released but now it just makes them obsolete.

Giving hypers to classes that can only reach lv 120 just doesn't make any sense.

Probably because they'd have to manually require every Cygnus to re-allocate everything, which I think would be a tad more work than "Here's an AP/SP reset. Do it if you want." If they were to make Cygnus Lv.200 characters, they would have to remove their benefits for NOT being Lv.200 characters now, otherwise there would be huge disadvantages. I don't think Mikhail gets the extra AP, which is mostly what I'm talking about here. If he does, the fk.
