The Complete Elemental Master Guide by Goldie: Difference between revisions

** 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. Make sure you have {{#item:992}} before attempting to summon our baby <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span>. You can purchase some Wind of Verdures from '''Dus the Smith NPC''' ('''@go 40''') {{#navi:paramk|53|101}} for 10,000 zeny per piece. For suggested farming areas for elemental ores such as the Wind of Verdures, refer to this [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Elemental_Catalysts,_Ores,_&_Stones|section]]. Summon the Child form of <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> by using the skill '''Lvl. 1''' '''{{#skill:2459}}''', and place him on '''Defensive Mode''' by using the skill '''Lvl.''' '''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. One other approach you could take is using the CC skill '''{{#skill:2453}}'''. Root mobs with Extreme Vacuum then cast your AoE skills to them. You have at least two forms of defense in this manner—<span style="color:green;">Ventus</span>' Wind Step and Extreme Vacuum's root CC effect.

*** Worry about the proper skill points allocation for later and maximize your AoE skills first so you could farm. Priority of skills as you level up:

<code>'''{{#skill:2449}} <big>></big> {{#skill:2447}} <big>></big> Lvl.1 {{#skill:2459}} <big>></big> Lvl.2 {{#skill:2456}} <big>></big> {{#skill:2464}} <big>></big> {{#skill:2463}} <big>></big> {{#skill:2446}} <big>></big>'''</code>   

<center><code>'''{{#skill:2454}}''' '''<big>></big>''' '''{{#skill:2453}}'''</code></center>

* Now, if this isn't your first character and you have some zeny to spare and you wanna skip the suffering part of leveling as a Sorcerer, you could purchase leveling up gears such as the {{#item:26118}} or its enhanced version {{#item:550012}}. Buy whichever is available in the market, both will reduce '''{{#skill:2449}}''' CD by 1 second at +11. To further reduce its CD, you can purchase the costume enchant stones {{#item:25419}} + {{#item:25420}}that reduce its cooldown by another 2 seconds. In total, you'll have 3 seconds CD reduction for PW and it'll be left with 2 seconds CD. It still have a bit of CD but PW is gonna be your main skill leveling up and the frequent you get to use it the better. I still suggest following the priority of skills that I had recommended.
