Aion Spiritmaster Guide - aion online guide DateTime:8/18/2010 5:52:58 PM
The pets you are able to summon fall into one of four classes: wind, fire, earth, and water. With the addition of a unique summon for each faction for the US release of the game. The Asmodian summons will be a mixture of fire and earth elements, while the Elyos summons will be a mixture of wind and water. The spirits are known as Magma and Tempest spirits, they can be summonedusing DP and will only last 5 minutes. After you have levelled higher you can upgrade these spirits up by four levels giving them access to new abilities and skills. Also the Spiritmasters will have access to 4 mini-pets known as Energy Orbs. These 4 Orbs each correspond to an element and are limited in range and number of attacks before disappearing. You will be limited to summoning one spirit on the battlefield at any given time.
Because each spirit type has different abilities and strengths, Spiritmasters can switch spirits in the midst of a battle to counter the enemy they are facing. Fire spirits are designed for melee, while earth spirits excel in defense. Water spirits use magical ranged damage, and wind spirits combine melee and magic. Even though the spirits are powerful, Spiritmasters shouldn’t just leave their pets to fight the battle alone. You will have various skills and healing spells to help your spirit, so you will always be active in battles. It especially pays to have a spirit with an active Spiritmaster during PvPvE battles, as spirits can not only be customized into high damage per second attacks but can increase item drop rates if Spiritmasters use the appropriate spells. One thing to remember is spirits cannot fly, so the you may find it useful to take to the skies and let his or her summon take care of enemies on the ground. The only exception are Energy Orbs, which accompany the Spiritmaster in flight.
