Aion Sorcerer Class Guide

Aion is a really great MMORPG, and if you're thinking in playing it and you also like mage classes, I suggest you the sorcerer. By reading an aion sorcerer class guide first, you can find out more about your character in a really short time.

The sorcerer is the class that deals a lot of damage but it has to be played carefully because it has low hp and it can die very fast. Usually pro players name the sorcerer DPS, translated meaning damage-per-second. This means that the sorcerer gives a lot of damage right when he finished casting and that his spells are not DOTS (damage over time). When he hits you, you can see your hp dropping right in that moment, the effect does not occur over time.



This mage class is based on basic attributes, most of the skills being on the fire/ice attribute. There are also some skills using earth and wind attribute but those skills are less in number. Being a good sorcerer doesn't mean only to deal great damage, it means to know when to hit and what to do to stay alive. You have to learn to control your damage, because if you deal too much you will overagro. For example, when you are in a Boss Dungeon and you are at the final step of killing the boss, if you deal too much damage, the tank in your party will not be able to keep the raid on him and if he jumps on you, you`ll be dead in 2 seconds because you have weak defense and huge attack.

It's not really complicated to play a sorcerer, you just have to learn the basic stuff. As any other mage, you have range and your role is to kill the target before it gets to you. You will learn to kite, which means to hit and run, to keep the target away from you. Being a mage means you can't afford to tank, you have to keep your enemies away from you.

You have skills you can teleport with, in case the enemy gets near you, you teleport backwards and have a bit of range. You can slow your target with ice attacks and even stun it. What is nice is that you have even some DOT skills that deal damage as the time passes. Also, depending on the mob's ressist to a certain attribute you can switch. So let's say you are killing mobs that have high fire ressist, then you will hit them with ice. Its nice to have more than one element to use! You can even decrease your enemy's fire ressistance for a while, so it will take more damage if you hit him after with some skills based on fire attacks.

As a sorcerer you also have the sleep skill, that puts a target to sleep, and at higher level you will have mass sleep skill that uses 2k DP points.

Sorcerers and spiritmasters use orbs or spellbooks as weapons, depending on the player's choice.

What to choose between orb and spellbook ?

Well, the spellbook has lower magic boost but higher magical accuracy, so if you don't want to miss any spell on a target, you can certainly use spellbook. Also, the spellbook has water element unlikely the orb which is set on fire element. As a difference, the orb has more magic boost so you will give more damage, but your spells might fail if the target has big magic defense or is higher level than you.
Anyway, people seem to like orbs better than spellbooks, what will your choice be ?

I hope you enjoyed this aion sorcerer guide, if you feel like something is missing or needs to be much better explained, feel free to add anything!
