In this guide, we will again look at the characters in the game Aion. And today we have a charmer next. In order to take a caster, you need to choose a mage as a starting character. Well, at the tenth level, choose one of his further paths of development – a wizard or a spellcaster. By the way, the wizard is also a very interesting character, but today we will not talk about him.
The caster has all the main features of magicians from other fantasy RPGs – both MMOs and singles. He dresses in cloth clothes (“rags”, as they are called), does not take a blow, but he does good damage himself. However, this class still cannot be called a “glass cannon” – for mega-damage per minute, contact the wizard. But the caster has other advantages. But – about everything in order.
Control and pet are our best friends
By itself, the caster does not do any huge damage. But to deal damage, he has a pet – a companion that he can call on to help him. I must say that the choice of those summoned by the caster is very large. There are assistants with various elemental damage, and tanks, and controllers – in general, choose a pet suitable for your purpose – and go. Our character can heal his companion, guide him, and with skillful use – cause very good damage with his help.
We also have many control abilities, both for a single target and for mass targets. Separately, it is necessary to mention the so-called “stroller”, or fear (aka fear or horror). This spell has options for affecting both a single target and massive ones. Opponents get scared of you and start to scatter. And at this time your cute pet calmly “eats” them.
What a sorcerer can do in PvE
As I said, a skilled sorcerer can do quite good damage per minute, and besides, he can control whole packs of opponents, which, of course, will be very useful in dungeons. But there is one very important point about your pet. Make sure that he does not break aggro before the tank or from the tank. This happens, especially with inexperienced or inattentive sorcerers, and the consequences for the group here can be the most dire. In general, play carefully.
By the way, due to his pet, the sorcerer can go through many dungeons in solo! It is important to equip correctly and choose the right pet for each stage of the dungeon. This is far from the easiest task – but still quite feasible. And believe me, here the caster has something to be proud of – for many other classes this task is not feasible even theoretically.
PvP, or “I am your terror and fear”
So we got to the most delicious one. I must say that in PvP as a sorcerer, you still need to learn how to play. Due to its weak armor, it can very quickly be picked up by someone like a wizard or a sniper. And if you let the gladiator too close … Then everything will end – quickly and sadly. But when you learn how to properly combine controls with the abilities of your pet, then you will become the most fearsome opponent on the battlefield. Scary both figuratively and in the most direct sense – the ability “Fear” has not yet been canceled. And I’ll be honest with you – in battles with other players, it brings even more joy than in PvE. And the reaction to this skill of your inept, but at the same time especially unrestrained opponents is especially encouraging.
If we talk about sieges, then you will also be useful. On the one hand, thanks to the ability to inflict damage from a distance, and on the other, thanks to all your controls. In general, the scheme is the same as in classic PvP.
In conclusion
The spellcaster is not the easiest class to master. It requires a good knowledge of all the skills you have, as well as the skills of your pets. You need to know how to prevent enemies from inflicting damage on yourself – due to the lack of armor, this is especially important. But, with all this, playing a magician is very interesting. And over time, when you learn to handle him, he will become a very comfortable character. And your enemies will become seriously afraid of you!
