Elyos / Asmo stigma & lv50 skill differences & imbalances

  • Note:

    Lv50 skillbooks can replace the following stigmas, they share a cooldown.

    For example, Asmo Chanters get the lv50 skillbook "Aether Spell" that is the same as the stigma "Curtain of Aether" but "only"* reduces 50% of incoming damage but costs less mana. Both share a cooldown so you can only ever use 1 of them. Meanwhile the skillbook versions are slightly weaker, it is better to conserve a stigma slot. The following stigmas are just for explanatory reasons, see them as the lv50 skillbook versions and you get the same differences.


    *it's actually better this way as it depletes the 5000 shield-points slower than the 60% stigma version


    Sorcerers are an exception to this with lv44 stigmas "boon of strength/quickness".

    Class: Sorcerer

    (debatable - Elyos sorcs hit harder and more precise, getting through enemy Mress, Asmo sorcs can turn on chaingun mode and just blast away all their mana - I'd say Asmo sorcs are getting the better deal here)

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    As for Rangers, both seem the same in this patch, correct me if I'm wrong.


    As for Spirit Masters, Elyos summon a Tempest Spirit while Asmos summon a Magma Spirit. Which of both is stronger? Only SM players may know.
