Aion Sorcerer Spell Rotations DateTime:8/18/2010 5:52:58 PM
The Sorcerer is similar to other cloth wearers in other games where the goal is to balance damage output with mana conservation all while staying out of harm’s way. Seems easy enough, but there are many variations when it comes to enemies, situations and the required combat sequences. Since most people will practice the spell rotations on various encounters and have their own favorites by the time they get into the level 40 range, we’re going to focus on the earlier part of the level range. As with most of my discussions, we’ll focus on how to achieve the best damage throughput using the lowest amount of mana thus having the least amount of downtime. Time to add some fire to this ice. Cast Flame Cage for some nice damage over time. Some players will cast Flame Fusion in later levels to help lower the fire defense of the enemy.
Aion provides many ways to learn about your class as you level up. The good news is that you are provided a stair step approach to character skill sets. Within the first twenty levels you’ll learn the lion’s share of the spell types. Later on you’ll get a host of upgrades to those base skills and get a few more to help round out your compliment of abilities. All of this means that a basic spell rotation can be developed early on and then honed to a fine point over time. One of the bread and butter rotations starts with Delay Blast which provides a few seconds to tee up more damage. The next batch of spells will include a chain and some nukes. There are many options and you will want to try out the options to see which provides the return on your mana you enjoy. One such rotation might be the following: During the delay you should be able to unleash Ice Chain and its chained spell Frozen Shock. This will provide some damage and a nice knockback as the slowed enemy tries to get to you.
