'''<big>Elemental Master</big>''' (''abbrev''. as EM) is the 4th class of the [https://wiki.muhro.eu/The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Maybel_%26_Sobel#Sage Sage], [https://wiki.muhro.eu/The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Maybel_%26_Sobel#Professor Professor], and [https://wiki.muhro.eu/The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Maybel_%26_Sobel#Sorcerer Sorcerer] line-up. It's a pretty 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.

== Introduction ==
Okay so probably you're wondering why play Elemental Master at all. In this section, we'll be pointing out key points of both its pros and cons to help you get ready for the class , get yourself accustomed to it, and decide as early as now if you wanna still keep on pursuing playing the class after knowing its strengths and weaknesses. 

Gone are the 3rd job days and era where every magic classes with the exception of Performers (Minstrel & Wanderer) and to a degree Soul Reaper have the problem of being elementally-locked behind with whatever skills they have available. Sorcerers had it worst because while they have skills with different elemental properties, these are all hindered by their long cooldowns (CD). Their main skill '''{{#skill:2449}}''' and its companion skills like '''{{#skill:2447}}''', '''{{#skill:2446}}''', and '''{{#skill:2454}}''' all suffered the same fate and are locked behind an agonizing 5 minutes CD each. While their cooldowns can be reduced with Shadow Gears, and some equipment like {{#item:550012}}, it still wasn't enough to have Sorcerer enter the meta as a main DPS class. Also it's important to point out that even though Psychic Wave can be endowed to the 4 basic elements (Fire, Water, Wind, & Earth), the old elemental table wasn't exactly in favor with them. For instance, any monsters that was either Holy 4 or Dark 4 would resist your magical attacks and so most of the time you'll either stick to Neutral Psychic Wave or "overgear" your Sorcerer just so you can deal an okay amount of damage to those monsters. 

That being said, you've probably experienced getting criticized and hated on by other players for joining their party as a DPS Sorcerer. You've probably been told or asked, "Can you tank for us?", "Be a support and buff slave and let me handle everything and carry you," or the most obvious "No! Don't play DPS Sorcerer! DPS Sorcerer sucks! Sorcerer sucks at PVM! It's the worst class DPS-wise" Well to whomever stuck around with the class despite all those hates, we are very well happy to say those naysayers are now eating their words in shame because now with the arrival of 4th jobs and the updated elemental table, Sorcerers have broken free of these bounds restricting them to perform to their fullest when they have finally transitioned to '''Elemental Master'''!

=== Pros ===
* Skills from previous jobs and skill trees still have use and importance, particularly the utility and defensive ones.
* Elemental Master is only 1 of the few classes that can use and specialize <span style="color:purple;>Poison</span> magic. 
** One of their main skills called '''{{#skill:5371}}''' has great coverage against the 4 Basic Elements. Monsters with either Fire, Water, Wind, or Earth property that can't be hit, miss, or receive decreased damage from '''{{#skill:5372}}''', '''{{#skill:5370}}''', '''{{#skill:5369}}''', and '''{{#skill:5373}}''' will taken care of by Venom Swamp; thus removing that elemental weakness from the class.

* EMs excel in space manipulation and crowd control skills. 
** 4 of their skills, if you'll count Psychic Wave, are lingering and counts as '''DoT''' (Damage over Time) skills. This will prove to be useful and efficient when you're farming for zeny or loots, as it is as simple as placing any of your DoT skills on the ground and then teleport away. Yes even when you're offscreen you'll still be killing the monsters, and yes you'll still get their drops (thanks to the '''<u>@autoloot</u>''' feature). The only scenario I could think of where this won't be applicable is when you're finishing a Kill Count quest which in that case you'll need to be onscreen to get the count. 
** Their ultimate skill''' {{#skill:5380}}''' not only acts as their 4th job equivalent of Psychic Wave in that it can be endowed to either <span style="color:red;>Fire</span>, <span style="color:blue;>Water</span>, <span style="color:green;>Wind</span>, <span style="color:brown;>Earth</span>, or <span style="color:purple;>Poison</span>—basically assuming the elemental property of their currently summoned '''High Elemental Spirits'''; but unbeknownst to many it also acts as CC skill! Both normal and boss monsters with the exception of MVPs hit by this skill are rendered immobile and stunned during the entire duration of the skill animation. We'll go more in-depth about Elemental Buster and its secret shenanigans once we go into the Elemental Master section, so pls. bear with us! <s>*''cough''* '''Autocast Elemental Buster''' ''*cough*''</s>

* They have at least 2 forms of mobility with the skills '''Lvl. 1'''  '''{{#skill:2459}}''' on '''Lvl. 2 {{#skill:2456}}''' (''Defensive Mode'') and '''{{#skill:6517}}'''. 
** You may argue that {{#item:12710}} is basically free and only costs 10 {{#item:50000}}, but having a free guyak right beside you whenever you need it anytime and anywhere is a big add-on especially for those tight on budget and besides not only does it boost movement speed but it also gives you '''+50% FLEE Rate''' which greatly improves an EM's survivability.
** 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.

* EMs have access to Elementals & High Elementals that would help them in various ways. We'll talk more about them in their [https://wiki.muhro.eu/The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Maybel_%26_Sobel#Elementals_&_High_Elementals own sections].
* Versatility. Can be played as DPS, tank, or support.

=== Cons ===

* A rotation-based class that cycles through different skills.
** No matter how strong the class is if it's not for you then you won't have a wonderful and fun time playing the class. I say that because the class is not a 1-button skill class when you're playing it. You'll need to cycle skills in between to farm.
** Needs attentiveness and awareness as to when will the next skill will be off-cooldown (CD), so for people who prefer to just press 1 button or skill you may want to play other classes instead like Soul Ascetic (SA).

* High learning curve
** The class looks easy to play on paper and on first sight, but Elemental Master actually has a lot of things you need to understand first in order to effectively play the class to its best capacity.

* Needs a lot of catalysts to summon their Elementals & High Elementals,  and apply their ground defensive skills which makes weight management more important than ever.

At the end of the day, we believe that every cons you'll encounter with the class will get outweighed by their pros. Now, it's up to you whether you'll commit to the class despite knowing these things and if you still wanna push-through then it'll be a pleasure to have you join us in a wonderful journey of mastering the ways of the true Elemental Master. 

==Mage==
[[File:Mage Takius.png|thumb|276x276px|Mage class]]
=== Overview ===
Mages are known to rely on magical skills to deal magical damage against monsters, and to use specific elements of their skills to gain advantage and deal significant damage  based on the monster's elemental property. In-this line-up, Mages are bestowed with offensive '''Area of Effect''' (AoE) skills that will help them level-up in the early stages of the game; and supportive, defensive, and passive skills that will still prove to be useful for them in the late-game stages as Elemental Masters. 

Among the notable skills that Mages use in their arsenal include '''{{#skill:14}}''', '''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:20}}''', and '''{{#skill:17}}''' to name a few. Mages will predominantly use Fire Ball for leveling because of its wider AoE, splash damage effect, and low cooldown. Mages could also use the 3 other bolt skills for leveling, but it won't be as effective and fast as when you're using Fire Ball to level up, but they're still good skills to use especially when paired with '''{{#skill:18}}''' as this will create a protective barrier between you and the monster you are trying to kill while you cast your bolt skills. These bolt skills will also prove to be relevant for the other build of the Elemental Master class which is '''{{#skill:2445}}''' build. Mages also have access to '''{{#skill:157}}''' which gives another layer of Defense for the class.

The most useful skill to have in the Mage tree in my opinion as this will decrease the incoming damage you receive be it physical or magical so long as you have enough SP. The damage reduction scales with your current SP so make sure to keep your SP healthy and full at all times.

==Sage==
[[File:Sage Takius.png|thumb|left|242x242px|Sage class]]

=== Overview ===
Sage is the 2nd alternate job for the Mage class. Sages have spent years studying the intrinsic and constituent character of magic and how it interacts with its environment. Instead of using the destructive capabilities of magic, they have utilized everything they have studied about its true nature by disrupting its belligerent side and bringing out its calmer psyche into the fold. Thus, Sages have gained the reputation on being known with the role of anti-Mages or as anti-Casters. 

Most of their skills are used to disrupt spells of the opposing enemies, create a defensive layer on the ground that will prevent any kinds of AoE ground magical skills to deal damage unto you and your party members, and remove buffs on the enemies and debuffs on your allies that would otherwise negatively impact the run of the party if left untouched but with a Sage on a party you can turn the tables and switch the tide of battle to you and your party's favor. While Sages shine brighter in their defensive capabilities and almost all of their skills can only be realistically be used in a '''PvP''' (''Player vs. Player'') scenario, they are lacking in the offensive department which makes them solely rely on their Mage offensive skills to farm and level-up effectively.

Among the notable skills in a Sage's arsenal include the  '''{{#skill:289}}''', '''{{#skill:276}}''', and '''{{#skill:277}}''' skills to disable monsters and MVPs rendering them crippled and weaker and of course their bread and butter the '''{{#skill:288}}''' skill that is always sought after in every party, and in every instances. This skill in my opinion is what defines the class and makes it whole and unique among the other classes. Afraid of dying in combat? Required to play with a tank to be your meat shield to eat up all of those hard hitting AoE ground magical skills? Or forced to take out some DPS gears and build tank gears in order to survive a difficult fight? Well fret not because all you'll need is Land Protector to solve all those problems! 

Besides their defensive skills, they also have supportive spells to amplify the damage output of their own elemental spells or their party members' in the form of '''{{#skill:285}}''', '''{{#skill:286}}''', and '''{{#skill:287}}'''. This is further enhanced by their endow skills '''{{#skill:280}}''', '''{{#skill:281}}''', '''{{#skill:282}}''', and  '''{{#skill:283}}''' which makes them essential members in a party for physical classes particularly as they can flexibly change the elements of their weapons anytime and as needed.   

Additionally, Sages have the ability to craft '''Elemental Converters''' [ ({{#item:12114}}, {{#item:12115}}, {{#item:12116}}, and {{#item:12117}}] with their skill '''{{#skill:1007}}''' so long as you have the right materials with you. Your physical player friends would probably be interested to request you to craft some of these for them or you could craft them to sell to players cheaper than NPC price of course.  

Their skill kit will always prove useful in the later stages of the game so take your time to learn and understand the skills of the Sage branch as we try our best to explain each and one of them elaboratively and precisely. You won't regret it!

=== Land Protector ===
In this section, we'll be talking a lot more about the Sage skill '''{{#skill:288}}''' (LP) in-depth on how it should be properly placed, what level of LP should you use in different scenarios, and what's the extent of the "hittable zone" and "danger zone" of LP. From here on out, I'll be referring to Land Protector as LP only for simplicity's sake. Okay then, let's get going![[File:Land Protector.png|thumb|509x509px|center|Land Protector AoE. From left to right, 11x11, 9x9, 7x7.]]<s>As what can be seen from the image above, LP is divided into three AoEs. Levels 1-2 LP produce the 7x7, Levels 3-4 LP produce the 9x9, while only Level 5 produces 11x11. In most situation, you'd likely use 11x11 LP most of the time whenever you'd need to put an LP underneath you to protect you or your party from strong ground magical skills from MVPs. However not all the time would you need to use 11x11.</s> 

<s>If you're in a small party of let's say 4 or 5 then a 9x9 LP will suffice to protect you and your small party. This gets significantly reduced when you solo on your own plus your Elementals and High Elementals. When this happens, you'd only want to use 7x7 and there'll be enough space for the both of you. Now you must be wondering why this is necessary. Simply because your skills won't hit the MVP. There will be times where you'll need to land your ground AoE skills to hit the enemy and you will have a lot of those especially when you transition to Elemental Master, and when an MVP enters your LP, you'll be left disadvantaged alongside your fellow party members that spams ground AoE spells like the Arch Mages.</s> 

<s>But then you're probably gonna argue, LP actually has a "hittable zone" and yes you are correct but what happens now if the MVP is placed further inside your LP then no matter you cast your skills to the "hittable zone" of LP your skills will never reach the MVP.</s>

==Professor==
[[File:Male and Female Professor.png|thumb|329x329px|Professor class. ''[https://www.deviantart.com/michaelxgamingph/gallery Artwork by michaelxgamingph of devianart].'']]

=== Overview ===
Professor or alternatively known as Scholar is the transcendent job of the Sage branch. The Professor job line-up is the direct improvement of what the Sage class is so known for. Thru rebirth and after studying the essence of magic and its inherent yet delicate nature, Professors have spent their time mastering an even greater body of knowledge which led them to learn new mystical skills that support their allies or act as a poke skill to annoy enemies. 

Most of their newly learned skills revolve around mana or SP. They can now give endless supply of SP to their party members with '''{{#skill:374}}''', and even regenerate their own SP thru the HP%-SP% based skill '''{{#skill:373}}'''. Another SP-manipulating skill they have learned is the skill '''{{#skill:375}}''', which allows Professors to effectively eliminate all of their opponent's SP which makes them an annoying foe to deal with in PvP and WoE on top of already having an annoying skill like '''{{#skill:289}}''' from their previous job as Sages.  Defensively, they've also learned new skills such as '''{{#skill:404}}''', and '''{{#skill:405}}''' that complements well with '''{{#skill:12}}''' and '''{{#skill:286}}''' and with Fire Bolter builds, respectively.

Offensively, Professors have also learned to boost their own magical power by improving on their bolt-based magical build in the form of '''{{#skill:482}}''' which lets them to cast their bolt skills twice in succession. This is one of the core skills you need to have when you're planning on playing Spellfist.

* Nothing is more important than having a healthy SP pool at all times, especially when you're gonna be using '''{{#skill:157}}''' to reduce the amount of damage you receive from any sources.
* Indulge is a skill that will immediately replenish your SP back to full and its effectiveness at the cost of 10% of your MaxHP. The more HP% you have, the more SP you replenish back that's why a high VIT Professor would benefit most from this skill since they can get the most SP.

* This does '''not give''' total immunity against ranged physical attacks and skills though unlike the Acolyte branch's '''{{#skill:25}}''' just to be clear. It will only decrease the damage by 75%. HIT rate is also reduced by 50 pts.
* Ranged targeted skills (<u>both physical and magical</u>) will have a 75% chance to miss.
* This skill also gets doubled duration when placed under '''{{#skill:286}}'''. Note that you have to cast Deluge first before placing this skill or else they won't overlap.
* Only 2 Wall of Fogs can coexist at the same time until the first one expires or either of them gets cleared by  '''{{#skill:288}}''' or any of the ground-effect clearing skills such as the High Wizard's '''{{#skill:483}}''' skill or the Geneticist's '''{{#skill:2483}}''' skill.
* Professors and later on as Elemental Masters get the most out of this skill when they pair it not only with Deluge but also with '''{{#skill:12}}''' which makes it possible for the class to solo instances and MVPs when none of them casts ground magical spells. If they do though, it might be better to use Land Protector instead and just face their melee and/or range attacks head-on while chugging HP potions such as{{#item:1100005}}.

==Sorcerer==
[[File:Male and Female Sorcerer.jpg.png|alt=|thumb|left|Sorcerer class. ''Artwork by [https://www.deviantart.com/michaelxgamingph/gallery michaelxgamingph of devianart].''|318x318px]]

=== Overview ===
Sorcerer is the 3rd class of the Sage and Professor line-up. After traversing an arduous journey of learning the mystic secrets of magic and both of its treacherous and appeasing natures, Professors have undergone an even more daunting exploration to fully unveil the true constitution of magic itself. In their expedition, they've come across the spirits, known amongst the commoners as '''Elementals''', that embody and represent the 4 Elements of Nature: the <span style="color:red;">Fire Spirit Ardor</span>, the <span style="color:blue;">Water Spirit Diluvio</span>, the <span style="color:green;">Wind Spirit Ventus</span>, and the <span style="color:brown;">Earth Spirit Terra</span>. Guided by the blessings granted to them by the great spirits of old, Professors have mastered the arts that make one deserving of the title Sorcerer.

Sorcerers have the ability to call forth the spirits of nature with their skills '''{{#skill:2457}}''', '''{{#skill:2458}}''', '''{{#skill:2459}}''', and '''{{#skill:2460}}'''. Each Elementals bestows the summoner both offensive and defensive passive effects that enabled the Sorcerer class to apply the sacred knowledge of magic they've learned as a Sage and Professor into the battlefield; thus finally enabling them to use damaging area of effect (AoE) skills in the form of '''{{#skill:2449}}''', '''{{#skill:2447}}''', '''{{#skill:2446}}''', and '''{{#skill:2454}}'''.  

Depending on which Elementals are summoned, each of their AoE skills are boosted in damage in correspondence to their respective elements. A summoned '''Lvl. 2''' '''{{#skill:2458}}''' in '''Lvl. 1 {{#skill:2456}}''' (''Passive Mode'') would endow its summoner's '''{{#skill:2449}}''' skill with the <span style="color:blue;">Water</span> property, as well as boosting the damage output of '''{{#skill:2447}}''' and its ''crystallization'' chance which is fitting as the conjurers of Elemental spirit magic. This allowed Sorcerers to share an emotional connection with their Elementals in ways unimaginable and because of this they have developed skills to further enhance their dearest companion's capabilities with the skill '''{{#skill:2463}}''' that enhanced the Elemental's survivability in battle. Sorcerers have since then developed new skills too in their kit—one that is shared between them and their Elementals. This introduced the complex [https://wiki.muhro.eu/The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Maybel_%26_Sobel#Insignia_System Insignia system] ( '''{{#skill:2465}}''', '''{{#skill:2466}}''', '''{{#skill:2467}}''', & '''{{#skill:2468}}''') that grants varying effects to anybody standing within its AoE.

Sorcerers desiring for more knowledge and realizing there's really no way to quench their unending thirst for magic have then further divulged  into the uncharted realms of <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> magic. This started the beginning stages of the so-called <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> magic and turned into a practice for the class to satiate their hunger. Albeit limited, this allowed Sorcerers to use <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> skills such as '''{{#skill:2448}}''' and '''{{#skill:2450}}'''. 

The class to this day has never forgotten its roots coming from the Sage and Professor line-up and have honored this as they developed skills to annoy and poke enemies. '''{{#skill:2453}}''' is a crowd control or root skill that immobilizes any unit that steps within its AoE.  '''{{#skill:2455}}''' is another skill that may come off as infuriating to many and acts as a debuff when used in the PvP and WoE scenes.

* Allot 5 skill points to this skill.
* This is your main damaging skill as a Sorcerer with an 11x11 AoE . Effective for leveling your character upon transitioning to 3rd job.
* It has a 5 seconds cooldown so cast this skill whenever it's available. However, there are equipment such as the {{#item:26118}} or its enhanced version {{#item:550012}}, {{#item:25419}} + {{#item:25420}}that reduce its cooldown by 3 seconds in total, which are useful in leveling.
* {{#item:25417}} + {{#item:25420}}, {{#item:1000673}}are some of the easily available resources that would boost Psychic Wave's damage.
* Psychic Wave ('''PW''') by default is <span style="color:gray;">Neutral</span> property but it can also be endowed to the 4 basic elements <span style="color:red;">Fire</span>, <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>, <span style="color:green;">Wind</span>, and <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span>, depending on the active modes and levels of the summoned Elementals.
** As an example, a summoned '''Lvl. 2''' '''{{#skill:2457}}''' in '''Lvl. 1 {{#skill:2456}}''' (''Passive Mode'') would endow its summoner's '''{{#skill:2449}}''' skill with the <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> property.
* Frequently disregarded once the leveling phase is over, this skill will still have its uses once you've transitioned to Elemental Master. This is your widest AoE skill, your 4th job High Elementals would still give you ability to endow this skill's property to the 4 basic elements + <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> eventually. Oftentimes you'll find yourself finished with your set-ups but the MVP is too far away and you want to maintain distance between you and him as much as possible, PW is there to reach and lure him towards you, and besides with 4th job traits and gears PW will still deal a considerable amount of damage so consider adding this to your skill set.

* Allot 5 skill points to this skill.
* You have no choice but to maximize this skill at it'll be needed for the costume enchant stone {{#item:1000673}}. For every level of Diamond Dust, it gives you +2% '''Variable Cast Time''' ('''VCT''') reduction. This will be needed for you to reach instant cast thru VCT%.
* Diamond Dust ('''DD''') will be 1 of your main AoE skill in your skill rotation for leveling up. Like PW, it has a 5 seconds cooldown but this can be reduced with the right equipment such as the {{#item:24297}}. A +10 Sorcerer Shadow Weapon will reduce the cooldown of this skill by 4 seconds, making it possible to reduce your skill rotation down to 2 skills in a sequence similar to this: 

                <code>'''{{#skill:2449}}''' —> '''{{#skill:2447}}''' —> '''{{#skill:2447}}''' —> '''{{#skill:2449}}''' —> '''''repeat'''''</code>

* It is also possible to completely eliminate the 5 seconds cooldown of Diamond Dust with the item {{#item:540014}}. When the codex is refined to +11 and above, it will reduce both Diamond Dust and Earth Grave cooldown by an additional 2 seconds. {{#item:24297}} wouldn't necessarily need to be refined at +10 when you use both equipment then.
* It also gives out an annoying debuff commonly complained about in the PvP/WoE scenes. Diamond Dust has a 30% chance to apply the [https://irowiki.org/wiki/Status_Effects#Crystallization c''rystallization''] debuff.  The chance of application is further increased when a '''Lvl. 2''' '''{{#skill:2458}}''' in '''Lvl. 1 {{#skill:2456}}''' (''Passive Mode'') is active. It also increases Diamond Dust's damage by ('''JobLv x 5)'''%.

* If you prefer to use Earth Grave ('''EG''') instead of Diamond Dust, there are equipment available that could reduce its cooldown from 5 seconds down to 1 second. A +10 {{#item:24310}}exists for that purpose. It's also possible to completely remove its cooldown to 0 just like DD when a +7 Sorcerer Shadow Shield is paired with a +11 {{#item:540014}} or a +9 {{#item:540056}}with the enchant {{#item:311228}}.

* Striking is a good supportive buff for your party. It gives '''+100 ATK''' ('''x WeaponLv'''), & +'''70 Perfect HIT''' at max level. Your friends that play physical classes will surely want you to constantly apply this buff on them.
* Like DD and EG, this skill needs to be fully leveled either way since it'll be needed for the costume enchant stone {{#item:1000672}}. For every level of Striking, it gives you 0.1 second '''Fixed Casting Time''' ('''FCT''') reduction.
** The set {{#item:1000672}}  + {{#item:1000673}} + {{#item:1000674}} + {{#item:1001420}} will be your end-game costume enchant stones once you've become an Elemental Master so make sure to maximize all 3 aforementioned skills (Diamond Dust, Earth Grave, & Striking).

* Spell Fist concentrates the power of your elemental bolt skills ('''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:14}}''', & '''{{#skill:20}}''') to your weapon which makes it possible to deal melee magical damage. 
* Ideally, you'd want to have an FCT lower than 1 second or VCT lower than 90% so you can't instant cast your bolt skills. Yes, that may sound absurd but that's because you'd need to not completely cast your elemental bolts so you could apply Spell Fist as an active skill. Aim your bolt skills on a target, cast it, then immediately press Spell Fist. Instant casting your bolt skills will make it impossible for you to activate Spell Fist.

==Elemental Master==
[[File:Male and Female Elemental Master.png|thumb|330x330px|Elemental Master class]]

=== Overview ===
Elemental Master ('''EM''') is the 4th class of the Sage, Professor, and Sorcerer line-up. While seeking recluse in the vast flora and fauna of Midgard where the mystical Spirits of nature resides, Sorcerers have awakened to a much stronger and greater power. As they ascertain the reason behind this sudden awakening and the closer they seek out the truth, they start to realize that the intimate bond they shared with their companion spirits, the Elementals, have also grown alongside with them leading them uncover more power thru the elements of nature.  

This allowed their companion spirits to evolve and become powerful beings of their own rights. <span style="color:red;">Agni</span> evolved to the <span style="color:darkred;">High Elemental Ardor</span>, <span style="color:blue;">Aqua</span> evolved to the <span style="color:darkblue;">High Elemental Diluvio</span>, <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> evolved to the <span style="color:limegreen;">High Elemental Procella</span>, and <span style="color:brown;">Terra</span> evolved to the <span style="color:chocolate;">High Elemental Terremotus</span>. The Sorcerer's previous experimentation on the <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> element led them to awaken the vicegerent and embodiment of <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> magic of which it governs—the <span style="color:purple;">High Elemental Serpens</span>. With their new form bonds and an unlikely ally with the malignant Serpens, Sorcerers themselves have evolved to the legendary Elemental Master.

Notable skills in an EM's skill kit are the skills '''{{#skill:5372}}''', '''{{#skill:5369}}''', '''{{#skill:5370}}''', '''{{#skill:5373}}''', and '''{{#skill:5371}}''' each of which represents the evolved High Elemental Spirits that accompany them in their adventure in the form of '''{{#skill:5375}}''', '''{{#skill:5376}}''', '''{{#skill:5377}}''', '''{{#skill:5378}}''', and '''{{#skill:5379}}'''. 

Depending which of the High Elementals are summoned to aid the Elemental Master, the corresponding element of the AoE skill that represents the High Elemental will boost its damage output. A summoned Ardor will bestow an EM with the gift of fire and will receive increased fire magical damage as well as amplifying Conflagration's power. With the combined strength of both the Elemental Master and High Elemental Spirit, this gives them the ability to cast their ultimate skill '''{{#skill:5380}}''' as a symbol of their infinite bond. Elemental Buster will assume and flexibly switch element depending on the summoned High Elemental Spirit, making it possible to cast a Poison-endowed Elemental Buster when the High Elemental Serpens is present.

Elemental Masters have also developed the power to hide their spirits which makes them unnoticeable by the monsters around them with the skill '''{{#skill:5381}}'''. This manipulation of magic to conceal their close companions also led them to master to blend in with the flow of magic , enabling them to cunningly use the psionic skill '''{{#skill:6517}}''', a pronounced antecedent of its predecessor skill Psychic Wave.

* Maximize this skill whenever you can or if you have enough skill points to allocate.
* Magic Book Mastery boosts the magical damage of <span style="color:red;">Fire</span>, <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>, <span style="color:green;">Wind</span>, <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span>, and <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> when using a book-type weapon.
* Most of your weapons as an Elemental Master are now all book-type weapons, unlike before from the previous jobs where it was a mix of staves and books. 
* Give this skill more attention once you're done with your core AoE skills.

* Either ignore this one or max it out.
* Activity Burn acts loosely similarly like the Professor's '''{{#skill:375}}''' skill. Though instead of stealing away the SP of a target, this one burns the enemies' '''Activity Point''' (AP) with 0 penalty if the skill fails. Unfortunately, this skill can only be used in PvP/WoE scenes; thus making this skill useless in PvE.
* You're only required to max this one out as a prerequisite skill for {{#skill:5368}} which does have some uses for PvE.

||
* Either ignore this one or max it out.
* Increasing Activity acts similarly like the Professor's '''{{#skill:374}}''' skill, but without the "give-and-take" interaction of it. 
* This skill gives out a flat amount of +50 (scales with level) of your AP to your allies. This isn't an %-% interaction, and you won't gain anything back as this is a one-way exchange of AP. 
* When focused on supporting, you can replenish back 5 AP by constantly casting any of your ground AoE skills such as  '''{{#skill:5372}}''', '''{{#skill:5369}}''', '''{{#skill:5370}}''', '''{{#skill:5373}}''', and '''{{#skill:5371}}'''. EMs never ran out of AP so don't be too stingy to share AP when you have this skill.
* One other use of this skill is when you use the costume enchant stone {{#item:1001420}}. For every level of Increasing Activity, it increases your <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> & <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> property magical damage by 2%. Others will max this skill out just for this purpose but in my opinion, it's really not worth it since at this point you already have too much <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> & <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> magical property damage modifiers thus making the damage difference barely noticeable. Besides, this one takes up too much skill points that it's better to expend it on skills such as '''{{#skill:5370}}''' or '''{{#skill:6517}}'''.

* A must have in any EM builds so always max this one out. No exceptions.
* Diamond Storm ('''DS)''' is one of the core skills in an EM's build. When using the Dimensions combo consisting of {{#item:400536}}+ {{#item:540079}}and when both items are '''Grade A''', it will give you the ability to auto-cast '''{{#skill:5380}}''' every time you cast Diamond Storm. Crazy. I know, right? 
* This allows EM to casually spam their ultimate skill Elemental Buster with 0 restrictions anytime they desire to do so. DS has a 1 second cooldown so for every second, they can freely do just that. Exciting!
* Diamond Storm is also a burst skill. It 's not a DoT skill like '''{{#skill:5372}}''' or '''{{#skill:5371}}''' and when paired with an auto-casted Elemental Buster which in itself is a burst skill, it greatly accomplishes that purpose neatly.
* Diamond Storm has a 5% chance to inflict the '''Rapid Cooling''' status effect.
** '''Rapid Cooling''': Endows target's property to <span style="color:blue;">Water 1</span>, unable to move, use items or skills, reduces Def and MDef, canceled upon taking damage.
** This status effect only affects normal monsters and useless against boss monsters and MVPs.
** A good debuff to cycle with '''{{#skill:5370}}''' and <span style="color:green;">Wind</span>-endowed '''{{#skill:5380}}''' though you may find yourself disappointed because unlike before it's now got a low chance to get applied. But this is technically a buff because casting Diamond Storm on a monster inflicted with this debuff would decrease DS's subsequent damage, but now that chances are lowered monsters will be taking in the full extent of your DS damage without any elemental resistances.

* It is a good skill to use when farming. You leave out your VS on the ground then teleport away. Kill the mobs offscreen and still get their loots.
* As a <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> property skill, it provides great coverage against the 4 basic elements. Poison deals increased damage against <span style="color:red;">Fire</span>, <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>, <span style="color:green;">Wind</span>, and <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span>. Level 1 monsters of these properties receive 150% more damage against <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>, while Level 4 monsters receive 125% more damage. For more info, refer to the [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Elements#Elemental_Attribute_Table elemental table].
* Venom Swamp has a 3% chance to inflict the '''Severe Poison''' status effect.
** '''Severe Poison''': Increases damage taken from <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> property, reduces Def, drains HP over time.
** This status effect only affects normal monsters and useless against boss monsters and MVPs.
** A good debuff to cycle with your own Venom Swamp, <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>-endowed '''{{#skill:5380}}''', and the Sorcerer skills '''{{#skill:2450}}''', and <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>-endowed '''{{#skill:2449}}''' though you may find yourself disappointed because unlike before it's now got a low chance to get applied.

* A must have in any EM builds so always max this one out if you plan on using the other {{#item:540080}}.
* Terra Drive ('''TD)''' is one of the core skills in an EM's build. When using the Dimensions combo consisting of {{#item:400536}}+ {{#item:540080}}and when both items are '''Grade A''', it will give you the ability to auto-cast '''{{#skill:5380}}''' every time you cast Terra Drive. Crazier stupid? Yusss, we know! You're not alone~
* This allows EM to casually spam their ultimate skill Elemental Buster with 0 restrictions anytime they desire to do so. Like DS, TD has a 1 second cooldown so for every second, they can freely do just that. But wait there's moreee~
** If you've gotten this far I know what you're probably thinking. Does that mean we could use both {{#item:540079}}& {{#item:540080}}to auto-cast '''{{#skill:5380}}''' every half a second? The answer is a big Yes! You can freely switch between books and cast DS and TD alternately. Though you may need to be fast on your fingers as this requires a bit of micromanaging so good luck~
* Diamond Storm is also a burst skill. It 's not a DoT skill like '''{{#skill:5372}}''' or '''{{#skill:5371}}''' and when paired with an auto-casted Elemental Buster which in itself is a burst skill, it greatly accomplishes that purpose neatly.
* Terra Drive has 5% chance to inflict the '''Concretion''' status effect.
** '''Concretion''': Endows target's property to <span style="color:brown;">Earth 1</span>, unable to move, use items or skills, reduces MDef, canceled upon taking damage.
** This status effect only affects normal monsters and useless against boss monsters and MVPs.
** A good debuff to cycle with '''{{#skill:5372}}''' and <span style="color:red;">Fire</span>-endowed '''{{#skill:5380}}''' though you may find yourself disappointed because unlike before it's now got a low chance to get applied.

* An optional skill to have when you're tight on skill points, but always a welcome addition as it adds a protective layer for your High Elementals.
* Elemental Veil turns your High Elementals transparent which prevents them from being damaged by single-target skills. AoE skills will still hit them.
* It gets longer duration at higher levels, but Level 1 of this skill will suffice.
* It doesn't work on Elementals, only for High Elementals.
* While not the most reliable way to make your High Elementals survive, there are other ways to make them almost unkillable.

* Elemental Buster ('''EB''') is our ultimate skill as EMs. This skill changes elemental property (<span style="color:red;">Fire</span>, <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>, <span style="color:green;">Wind</span>, <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span>, or <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>) based on the currently summoned High Elemental Spirit (<span style="color:darkred;">Ardor</span>, <span style="color:darkblue;">Diluvio</span>, <span style="color:limegreen;">Procella</span>, <span style="color:chocolate;">Terremotus</span>, or <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span>). Does not work with Sorcerer's Elementals.
*With a 13x13 AoE, EB deals increased damage against Dragon/Formless races with an '''SPL''' scaling of 10. Originally, it has a 2 second cooldown, but with the Dimensions combo, this can be bypassed and EMs can freely spam this to their heart's desire.
*Unbeknownst to many, EB also acts as a crowd control skill. Any units targeted by this skill <u>gets stunned during the entire duration of its skill animatio</u>n. In a way you could say it is a crowd control damaging skill in that manner. So even if you get surrounded by large mobs, casting or auto-casting EB alone will let you survive.
*It has the damage, it has the AoE, it has a CC effect,  could change its elemental property anytime, and easily spammable. What more would you want from this skill honestly. This skill alongside the Dimensions combo is what makes Elemental Master the strongest magical DPS class.

* Either put 1 skill on this skill or maximize it.
* Psychic Stream is a fairly new skill and was just recently added to the game. This skill is given to an already versatile class made even more mobile and better. 
* This skill lets you dash to a monster or a horde of monster if you so desire (don't worry you have EB to CC them!), and inflicts <span style="color:gray;">Neutral</span> property magical damage to them and its adjacent mobs in a 5x5~7x7 AoE (scales with level).
* Psychic Stream is more practically used for field farming, and less practical to use in instances.
* I honestly don't know why Gravity gave the class even more mobility, but I guess this is them playing favorites. Unlike our cousins the Arch Mages, we now have more mobility which makes farming easier and faster. It's not as good as a Taekwon's '''{{#skill:426}}''' skill or a Knight's '''{{#skill:1001}}''' skill since it has a bit of cooldown and a 9 cells range, but in places like [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth Depth Biosphere] or [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2 Depth Abyss 2] where teleportation is disabled, this skill is very useful.
* If you only use this skill as a gap closer which it is 1 skill point should be enough to do that job, but if you use it to one-hit knockout (OHKO) mobs outside of Depth Biospheres, then by all means maximize it.
* Notes: This skill doesn't work when you're under the '''{{#skill:157}}''' state, so be careful not to cast or recast this skill often.

==Elementals & High Elementals==
For uniformity and to avoid confusion, we'll be grouping the spirit summons of the Sorcerer and Elemental Master to 2 categories.  

When referring to '''Elementals''', this pertains to the Sorcerer's spirit summons (<span style="color:red;">Agni</span>, <span style="color:blue;">Aqua</span>, <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span>, & <span style="color:brown;">Terra</span>). On the other hand, '''High Elementals''' refers to the Elemental Master's spirit summons (<span style="color:darkred;">Ardor</span>, <span style="color:darkblue;">Diluvio</span>, <span style="color:limegreen;">Procella</span>, <span style="color:chocolate;">Terremotus</span>, & <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span>). Collectively, both Elementals and High Elementals will be referred to as '''Spirits''' from here on out'''.'''

'''Sorcerer's Elementals''' could also appear in 3 different forms and will have its own subcategory. All '''Lvl. 1''' '''{{#skill:2457}}''', '''{{#skill:2458}}''', '''{{#skill:2459}}''', and '''{{#skill:2460}}''' will be known as their '''Child Forms'''; '''Lvl. 2''' will be grouped into their '''Adolescent Forms''', while '''Lvl. 3''' will be called their '''Adult Forms'''.

===Modes===
The Elementals and High Elementals are part of an Elemental Master's vast skill kit. They give offensive, defensive, and passive buffs to the summoner on which mode they are activated. Upon a successful summoning of your companion spirits, you have the option to place them in either Passive mode, Defensive mode, or Offensive mode. Each of these modes have uses that are essential in what makes Elemental Master a versatile class.

! colspan="4" | Waiting Mode
|}
'''Passive mode''' for the most part is used to buff an EM's offensive capabilities outside of its own summons. Meaning this is usually a direct buff to the summoner and not to the spirits themselves though sometimes both can benefit from it <u>since your spirit's stats completely depend on their master's own stats</u>. Also starting from the Sorcerer to Elemental Master, all of your spirits' Passive mode caters mostly to '''{{#skill:2449}}''' and '''{{#skill:2445}}''' builds and thus finds very little use when focusing on 4th job skills of EM. The only instance we could think of that it still complements 4th job skills is <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> on Passive mode. <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> will increase your 3rd job skill '''{{#skill:2450}}''' by 1500% which if you're focusing on a <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>-centric build will be beneficial for you. Or when you're still incorporating Psychic Wave into your skill rotation cycle since its elemental property can be endowed according to the element of your currently summoned Elemental or High Elemental.

On the other hand, '''Defensive mode''' like Passive mode is also used to buff an EM's defensive capabilities. Spirits would endow an EM's armor property to their corresponding element. If for example you have Ardor summoned and you placed him in the Defensive mode, he will change your armor property to Fire and you'll get decreased damaged against Fire property attacks but reduced resistance for the opposing element which is Water. 

Meanwhile, '''Offensive mode''' is the state where your spirits will go on an aggro or attack state. They'll randomly attack, select and cast skills they know in their skill pool at a certain chance. For most people this  mode looks and sounds useless which to a degree is true since why would you want your spirits to gain aggro and get attacked when they're already too frail to begin with. But you should know that there are ways to make them tankier than even your own, and spirits gaining aggro from mobs lets you farm efficiently or stay alive as long as possible. Think of them as your own version of the Biolo's Homunculus.

The next mode that maybe most of you aren't still aware of is the '''Waiting Mode'''. Now, Waiting mode isn't under any specific Level of '''{{#skill:2456}}''', but it's a state where your spirits can freely enter anytime. The moment you summon your spirits, they are by default in Wait mode, and once you've placed them into any of the 3 modes, they exit Waiting Mode. To place them back into this state once again, you'll need to recast the same Lvl. of Elemental Control according to the same mode your spirits are in. If <span style="color:red;">Ardor</span> is in Passive Mode, recast '''Lvl. 1''' '''{{#skill:2456}}''' one more time and he'll be in Waiting mode again. During this state, your spirits don't give anything or do anything for you ''but'' they regain 2% HP/SP every 3 seconds which serves as their own healing consumable in a way acting like their own source of {{#item:14534}}. This helps them stay alive longer in battles, so put them in Waiting mode as you deem fit and necessary.

Lastly, we have '''Lvl. 4''' '''{{#skill:2456}}''', which isn't even a mode or give anything good to either you or your spirits like reallyyyy. Don't ever use this skill as you'll only regret it. What it does is it kills your active spirits. I mean why? Just why would you want that? It's always easier to just cast another summoning skill if you wanna switch Elementals or High Elementals, but purposedly killing them is really such a questionable move by Gravity. Remove this in your hotkey or better yet don't ever bother getting it, it's a waste of skill point and a waste of space.

===How to keep Elementals & High Elementals Alive===
This is the section where we'll be explaining on how to keep our spirits alive. This is unknown to most players who hadn't played the class priorly. Only people who have played the class religiously since Day 1 as a Sorcerer during 3rd job era would know the secret sauce on how to make your Elemental and High Elementals live their lives as your own personal tank or meat shield.

When either an Elemental or High Elemental is summoned, they inherit ''all'' of the summoner's raw stats including '''MaxHP%''', '''Max DEF,''' '''Max MDef''', and '''Max FLEE Rate'''. Back in those days, when a Sorcerer ran a high '''VIT''' or high '''AGI''' build, their Elementals too would have high VIT and high AGI thus making them tanky and agile. A video documenting this official behavior will be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxi1Ej4aQLU here], dating back in the year 2015. They inherit whatever stats you have ''<u>at the time of summoning</u>'' and they retain those stats for as long as they are active. So if you equip full tank gears that 's focused on high '''MaxHP%''' '''DEF''', '''MDef''', '''FLEE Rate''', they will receive all of those plus some additional stats depending on the spirits' elemental property. That being said, you can make a separate swap gear for your tank gears and switch to it whenever you're gonna summon your Elementals or High Elementals. It's generally a good idea to invest in those tank gears since it'll really make your spirits tanky and thus saves you from the frustration of having to resummon a new one every time they die which drastically decrease your DPS capability, particularly as an Elemental Master.

Now since our spirits don't have their own UI unlike the Homunculus of Biolo, we will be following the following equations to formulate their individual stats:
 '''Max HP'''    = [(SummonerMaxHP ÷ 3) + (SummonerINT x 10) + (SummonerJobLv x 20)] × [(SummonLv + 2) ÷ 3]
 '''Max SP'''    = (SummonerMaxSP ÷ 4)
 '''ATK (Max)''' = [(SummonerMaxSP) ÷ (18 ÷ SummonLv)] + (1 ~ 100)
 '''ATK (Min)''' = [(SummonerMaxSP) ÷ (18 ÷ SummonLv)]
 '''MATK'''      = SummonLv x [(SummonerINT ÷ 2) + (SummonerDEX ÷ 4)]
 '''ASPD'''      = (SummonerDEX ÷ 10) + (SummonLv x 3) + 150
 '''DEF'''       = SummonerDEF + [(SummonerBaseLv) ÷ (5 − SummonLv)]
 '''MDEF'''      = SummonerMDEF + [(SummonerINT) ÷ (5 − SummonLv)]
 '''FLEE|Flee Rate''' = SummonerFLEE + [(SummonerBaseLv) ÷ (5 − SummonLv)]
 '''HIT|Hit Rate'''  = SummonerHIT + SummonerBaseLv
If the called Spirit is:

* <span style="color:red;">'''Agni'''</span>: increase its ATK and Hit Rate by <code>(SummonLv × 20)</code> and <code>(SummonLv × 10)</code>, respectively.
* <span style="color:blue;">'''Aqua'''</span>: increase its MATK and MDef by <code>(SummonLv × 20)</code> and <code>(SummonLv × 10)</code>, respectively.
* <span style="color:green;">'''Ventus'''</span>: increase its MATK and FLEE Rate by <code>(SummonLv × 10)</code> and <code>(SummonLv × 20)</code>, respectively.

As what can be seen from the equations, all of the stats for the Elementals and High Elementals are influenced and dependent with that of the summoner. Besides inheriting their summoner's stats, they also get additional stats based on what forms (Child, Adolescent, or Adult) they assume as well as what kind of spirit they are. Taking into consideration the MDef equation <code>SummonerMDEF + [(SummonerINT) ÷ (5 − SummonLv)]</code>, a Level 3 <span style="color:red;">Agn'''i'''</span> for example will yield higher '''MDef''' values due to having lower divisor values  as compared to Lvls. 1 or 2. Although, it's uncertain or rather I haven't confirmed with [GM] Muh what would be the value for it if it's <span style="color:darkred;">Ardor</span> for instance since technically he is already on Adult form, and 4th job High Elementals don't have a child or adolescent form. It's even more uncertain for <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span>' case since he doesn't have any 3rd job base counterpart or maybe whatever base Elemental he was summoned from that's where he'll get his benefits from. But anyway with that in mind, you would also want to build as much HP% as you could get since in the equation for '''Max HP''' <code>(SummonerMaxHP ÷ 3)</code> , your total MaxHP is divided by 3, and the only way to mitigate that is if you build tons of MaxHP% either from equips, consumables or party buffs. 

Apart from building your own stats and improving on it, you could also benefit from party buffs or class buffs. Since remember, whatever is your stats ''<u>at the time of summoning</u>'', will be considered into the equation and will inherited by your Spirits. One way of making this work is by having Performer slaves give your their buffs. Notable skills to use for that purpose are '''{{#skill:322}}''', {{#skill:5007}}'''Frigg's Song''', {{#skill:2431}}'''Lerad's Dew''', the Arch Bishop skill '''{{#skill:2047}}''', and your very own skill from the Sage skill tree '''{{#skill:286}}'''. Remember how we mentioned earlier that Deluge will make your spirits much tankier? Well there you have it! From the EM branch, High Elementals will benefit from the passive '''{{#skill:5374}}''', which gives some flat HP and some defensive bonuses, but only High Elementals though; Elementals don't benefit from this passive. We also have our passive from the Sorcerer branch '''{{#skill:2463}}''', which acts as a final multiplier to the total MaxHP%/MaxSP% for both our Elementals and High Elementals once all the calculations are done. 

Now for defensive stats, you could use the Performer skills '''{{#skill:309}}''', '''{{#skill:2382}}''', '''{{#skill:2351}}''', the High Priest skill '''{{#skill:361}}''', the Soul Reaper's {{#skill:2596}}'''Golem Soul''', the Arch Mage's '''{{#skill:5225}}''' when using '''Lvl. 1''' '''{{#skill:5232}}''', and the Sorcerer skill '''Lvls. 2 and 3''' '''{{#skill:2468}}'''. We'll have a more in-depth discussion about the Sorcerer insignias in a different section, but in a ditch Level 2 Earth Insignia will give '''+500''' '''flat HP''' & '''+50''' '''DEF,''' while Level 3 Earth Insignia will give '''+500''' '''SP''' & '''+50''' '''MDef''' while standing on its AoE. Remember, you have to apply these buffs unto your EM before you summon your spirits. It is also possible to directly apply the Assumption skill on your summoned spirits but like any other buffs it will expire, unlike when you summon them while possessing all these buffs they will inherit all of it until they die or disappear. 

Now unfortunately to say but our Spirits won't benefit at all from Race%, Size%, Element%, and Protocol% reductions. So everything that you will work on your tank gears are focused on improving '''MaxHP%''', '''Max DEF,''' '''Max MDef''', and '''Max FLEE Rate'''. 

Another defensive layer you can incorporate or use is the skill '''{{#skill:5381}}''', which turns your High Elementals transparent making them untargetable. As we've previously stated, this skill is good to have when you have enough points to expend; otherwise you can skip this skill since AoE skills will still damage them. When you're too cheap and would want to save your elemental catalysts, there's also '''{{#skill:2464}}''' that heals your Elementals and High Elementals alike by taking out 10% of your HP/SP. Now, when you use this skill you might want to swap back to your tank gears by then. This is simply because you have fewer HP with your DPS gears for sure and your Spirits have higher MaxHP% than you do. Healing them with Elemental Cure while having low amounts of HP will also only heal them by small amounts, whereas if you use switch to your tank gears you have more MaxHP%. The only problem with this is once you've switched to your tank gears, your HP won't be full so to solve that problem bring with you some  {{#item:607}}or {{#item:608}} to restore your HP/SP. One other way to heal your spirits passively is by placing them into '''Waiting Mode''' using '''{{#skill:2456}}'''. Remember they are passively recovering 2% HP/SP while in this mode for every 3 seconds. 

Both the Elementals and High Elementals follow the equations in calculating their individual stats. Now the question if High Elementals have their own set of equations the answer is nobody knows but the Gravity developers. Information regarding the 4th job summons are few and so for the meantime while we lack accurate info we'll be following this one right here. I could only imagine it being better for the High Elementals if they did have their own equations. As you can see, the formula don't include the 4th jobs traits such as STA, WIS, RES, & MRES, so if in a turn of events it did somehow included those traits then our High Elementals are supposedly should be tankier than Elementals. Fret not though, because even with those traits your High Elementals are still durable. With the proper set of tank gears, my High Elementals could survive even the most hard-hitting skills of MVPs such as Juncea's '''{{#skill:83}}''', Schulang's''' {{#skill:85}}''', Phantom of Amdarais' {{#skill:91}} '''Heaven's Drive,''' Lasgand's '''{{#skill:89}}''', Warlock Katrinn's '''{{#skill:2216}}''', Sorcerer Celia's '''{{#skill:2449}}''', Rune Knight Seyren's '''{{#skill:2006}}''', Temple Biosphere mobs' '''{{#skill:254}}''', the Dark Grand Crosses of the Depth Valkyries from Depth Abyss 2 as well as NPC Earthquakes from the Depth Salamanders. The only thing it can't survive so far is Betelguese's '''{{#skill:2217}}''' though they can survive Tiara's and Fenrir's Tetra Vortex.

=== Tank Gears ===
Okay, now that everything has been explained as to how make your Spirits survive longer, we'll no talk more about gears. I'll be giving out budget options and high-end options in this section. The high-end gears are optional, but if you have the zeny for it then I say go for it then. The gears I'll be listing down were the set of gears that has worked for me so far and made my Spirits survive and as I'm sure there are plenty of options out there.
