Alchy stinger Synergy feels off

Hello Hello,

First of all i love Alchy stinger but i feel like there is no synergy with the ERG bonus or Spirit bonus as by for example Elemantel Knight (EK) and Dark Diviner (DD).

i give u a example based on ERG:

EK gets from ERG DEfense and protection (wich suits the EK style by living on the front line) Splash increase (WICH AGAIN suits EK goes well with Intstill Flame)

DD: Gets LEss MP usages (suits it more mana for u DD skilss and it helps now with that +5 casting u do ) less casting time (suit its Because that +5 int casting)

Alchy Stinger: Gets aim speed (how does this benefit a stinger skill?) Achery CD (how does this benefit a Stinger skill) Crash CD (how does this benefite a Stinger skill)

my point being EK,DD get some like small pasive like stuff that works well with there ERG.
im not feeling that vibe with Stinger.

and to be clear im not in it for the dmg numbers or anything all im saying is where is the synergy.


But what are you all thinking of this?

Greeting, (and happy up coming days ;3)

    The crash CD reduction stacks with one of the Arcana link bonuses, and allows for spamming crash shot REALLY fast.

    So that does synergize.

    But still, it is relatively low synergy.

    And that's a good thing.

    Arcana should help bridge the gap between high power and low power players, so that people who don't spend $5000 on reforges can be relevant in higher level content. And for the most part it does that well.

    You fundamentally don't understand what ERG is.

    Mabinogi is balanced by layers ontop of layers of unbalanced content.

    ERG is both a upgrade path and a balance patch. It's the same reason spirits function they way they do.
    Instead of fixing a talent at its core they release something else to flesh it out and bring it up and sometimes over other talents.

    Because in their eyes as long as you can finish up to the current generation there's really nothing truly wrong with any talent in the game, everything besides the generation quests are just optional content.

    Them selling you the fix is a one stone two birds kind of thing. You get stronger/happier and they make certain things better for optional content.

    Nexon understand this and that's why they've made the different levels in ERG so it's more achievable and even buffed A Rank ERG into the old S rank and simply made S rank a straight damage increase, not a utility difference.
