The Sorcerer

The first of AION’s 8 classes I’ll be showing off is the Sorcerer. The sorcerer is your big damage, nuking class of AION. Though some videos have shown some utility.  They control all of the 4 elements. Having destructive spells that come from Earth, Air, Fire and Water, sorry, no heart Mati.

The only problem I can see so far is that the fire spells look like Magic Missile. That might just be me though.

Area effect attacks will most likely be their specialty. Taking down a large mass of enemies with a few wide reaching spells. Though with AION’s habit of giving mobs waaay too much health, we’ll see how that actually works out.

As always, the Sorcerers will have almost no physical defense and will have to either keep their enemies away, or group with someone stronger than they are to do it for them. They do however have some defense spells. The ice spells tend to slow or root their target. They have been shown to have a sleep spell and a spell that turns their enemy into a tree. Hopefully it works like Polymorph in World Of Warcraft, with less wandering.

In addition to all of that. They seem to be able to open portals much like Druids in EQ2 or the Astralist in RF Online. I’ve noticed that RF Online seems to have much more in common with AION than Lineage 2. I’ll make a comparison post soon.

The Sorcerer seems to be appropriately versitile in AION. While only giving up defense. You can always work around not having any defense.
