Introducing Class Combo Gears!

[GM-Ayu]

Qigong: yes, you actually get Spirit of the Monk as if you are soul linked so you get every benefit possible.

Shadow set: yes we intend for ninjas to precast before going in, and no the assassination method with shadow slash can't be the only attack. Rather, if you are going in for the attack, you are no longer immediately dead cause you are now in melee. It also means ninja is less screwed without ice pick cause you have a crit attack to fall back to when throwing things aren't working.

Chem-aid set: follows same rule as any other autocast on another spell, so it'll be just like the BG gears in terms of cast delay waiting for animation if you want to manually cast again, but item skills will always fire off whenever the trigger is met regardless of animation. As for homunculus interaction, Impo skill will fire off but I do not think the homun is actually affected by it... or the homunculus's attack variation is too high of a range to really tell if impo is affecting it.

Black wing: it should be treated as manual cast of spell (but admittedly, never purposely tried the group interaction, and it was also hard to tell with this build which one is auto, and which one is manual once it starts firing off in testing)
