It's a versatile class that could be played as DPS, tank, or support whichever your preference is or whenever the situations calls for it, but as a DPS class it is arguably the strongest magical class right now in the current patch. | ||
Unlike our cousins the Arch Mages, the Elemental Master class also got a lot of utility skills (i.e. Land Protector, Dispel, Blinding Mist, Insignias, etc.) in its arsenal which makes it possible for the class to leave behind defensive gears and still run full DPS while surviving most of the monsters' and bosses' skills and attacks. That being said, the class could also be played as either a full tank or support class and excel in those roles when built in that manner. | Unlike our cousins the Arch Mages, the Elemental Master class also got a lot of utility skills (i.e. Land Protector, Dispel, Blinding Mist, Insignias, etc.) in its arsenal which makes it possible for the class to leave behind defensive gears and still run full DPS while surviving most of the monsters' and bosses' skills and attacks.

** EM is already a class gifted with lots of ground magical skills, above average range and AoE, and yet they were still given another mobility skill with Psychic Stream. This skill with a 9-cells range lets you blink/dash towards a monster or a mob of monsters making farming faster and efficient. As an example, you use Psychic Stream on a mob then proceed that with your auto-cast Elemental Buster from the Dimension Set to kill the horde of mobs around you while aiming Diamond Storm to another pack of mobs to maximize your range and the space around you. | ** EM is already a class gifted with lots of ground magical skills, above average range and AoE, and yet they were still given another mobility skill with Psychic Stream.

In contrast, if I cast my Conflagration on LP's protective cell itself, it won't deal any damage at all to the dummy because it didn't penetrate LP as shown in the GIF above. I would need to cast it right outside LP if I would want my skills to reach and hit the dummy. That's why in situations where surviving is more important than doing DPS, you will be required to use higher levels of LP with larger AoE.

When placing your LP, it's important to know what's maximum the maximum range you can go for to readjust its positioning. This is important because when you're faced with an MVP and the MVP is in close melee range, you wouldn't want to move and lure it further to your LP since you'll need space between you and him so you can set-up your insignias while he's outside of LP. Now, LP has a '''3 cells range''' from the position you're standing from. Going above 3 cells will make you move and lose your position. Be consciously aware of this as this will help you, especially once insignias are taken into consideration. More info will be discussed regarding LP's behavior in correlation with insignias in this [https://wiki.muhro.eu/ | When placing your LP, it's important to know what's maximum the maximum range you can go for to readjust its positioning.

Depending on which Elementals are summoned, each of their AoE skills are boosted in damage in correspondence to their respective elements.

** If you're new to the class and you have barely to zero resources and you don't have any friends take the hard route of leveling up with your skills. It may be slow but at least you'll be able to practice how to properly rotate your skills. As a Sorcerer, you are always harder to die. Why? Well because you have your own lil' <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> to accompany you.

'''2''' '''{{#skill:2456}}''', and voila! You now have your own source of free {{#item:12710}} + '''50% FLEE Rate'''. You will survive even the most treacherous dungeons for leveling up. Just make sure to replenish <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span>' SP using the skill '''{{#skill:2464}}''' every now and then since he will exit '''Defensive Mode''' if he rans out of Mana and you will lose your benefits. Putting some skill points to '''{{#skill:2463}}''' would also help with your Ventus' sustain. Keep leveling up 'til you reach Elemental Master. | ||

Remember when I told you Elemental Master is a versatile class? That's because it's actually the best tank to use against '''Betelgeuse''' from [[Constellation Tower]]. The class with its passive '''{{#skill:284}}''' from the Sage branch gives it an inherent '''+20% resistance against Dragon races''' such as Betelgeuse, making it possible for the class to reach '''100% Dragon resistance''' when combined with other gears with more Dragon resistances. | Remember when I told you Elemental Master is a versatile class?

Besides getting 100% Dragon resistance, it's also important to note that you would need to achieve 1 second FCT, 100% VCT reduction, general tankiness (i.e. MaxHP%, RES, MRes, MDef & Def), and a bit of ACD to help you spam your '''{{#skill:276}}''' so you can absorb Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2217}}'''. You may also cast '''{{#skill:288}}''' underneath you to cancel Betelgeuses '''{{#skill:2213}}''' and '''{{#skill:83}}s''', but if you got with a magical DPS such as EM and AM that have ground AoE skills you might want to remove LP so that they also hit Betelgeuse. If the party is made up of physical attackers then you can cast LP. One way you can do to support your party is placing insignias underneath Betel. It's also a good tactic when you have another EM DPS to coordinate with them so that they can place the insignias on the 2nd Phase, while you handle the 3rd Phase.
