Title: The Downsides of Synergies in Lost Ark

Synergies in Lost Ark are a pain in the butt. Crit Synergy is overrated and causes unnecessary drama. The obsession with crit rate is ridiculous. People need to chill and focus on actual gameplay. Instead of crit rate, we should have skills that actually change the game. Synergies should be deleted, and classes should have unique skills that add real value. Let's make the game more fun and less about stacking stats. #DownWithSynergies #GameplayMatters 🎮

The Annoying World of Synergies in Lost Ark

Two years ago, when Lost Ark was released, I delved into the world of synergies and quickly realized how annoying and poorly designed they are.
