'''Sage''' (''<small>also known as</small>'' '''Battle Mage''' <small>or</small> '''Anti-Mage''') is the 2nd alternate job for the Magician class.

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 realistically be used in a '''Player vs'''. '''Player''' ('''PvP''') scenario, they are lacking in the offensive department which makes them solely rely on their Mage offensive skills to farm and level-up effectively. | 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.

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 the bread and butter of all Sages—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! | 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.

Atypical and bravely unique from the generic playstyle of the common Mage, Sages are usually seen in the frontlines either to support the party or to deal their own way of dishing out damage. With their skill '''{{#skill:279}}''', this gives Sages the ability to autocast their own Magician skills including the elemental bolt skills with each movement they perform with their melee physical attacks. Due to this distinct individuality that sets them apart, Sages have acclaimed and popularized the approach to being a '''Battle Mage'''. | |||
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. | 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}}'''.

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_SE|War of Emperium]] ('''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 <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> Bolter builds, respectively. | Most of their newly learned skills revolve around mana or SP.

This is one of the core skills you need to have when you're planning on playing '''{{#skill:2445}}'''. | ||

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 <span style="color:#49AFFC;">''crystallization''</span> chance which is fitting as the conjurers of Elemental spirit magic. This allowed Sorcerers to share an emotional connection with their Elementals in unimaginable ways 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 [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Insignia_System|Insignia System]] ( <span style="color:red;">'''{{#skill:2465}}'''</span>, <span style="color:blue;">'''{{#skill:2466}}'''</span>, <span style="color:green;">'''{{#skill:2467}}'''</span>, & <span style="color:brown;">'''{{#skill:2468}}'''</span>) that grants varying effects to anybody standing within its AoE. | Depending on which Elementals are summoned, each of their AoE skills are boosted in damage in correspondence to their respective elements.

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}}'''. | 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.

As the pioneers and trailblazers of the Battle Mage playstyle, Sorcerers have invented more ways to contribute to this discipline. With their prowess to manipulate time and space, they gained the ability to concentrate the magical powers of their elemental bolt skills into their armaments with the skill '''{{#skill:2445}}''' and this empowered them to deal melee magical damage with each strike they make. | ||
The class to this day has never forgotten its roots coming from the Sage and Professor lineup 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. Intrinsically, Sorcerer's AoE skills have CC effects themselves. Psychic Wave is a DoT skill that hit-locks units that enter its range; Diamond Dust crystallizes enemies rendering them immobile and silenced; Varetyr Spear stuns enemies within its vicinity, and while Earth Grave doesn't apply any CC effects, it gives bleeding status effect and unveils monsters that are in hiding or cloaking state. | The class to this day has never forgotten its roots coming from the Sage and Professor lineup and have honored this as they developed skills to annoy and poke enemies.

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 <span style="color:#BD0F1E;">Ardor</span> will bestow an EM with the gift of <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> and will receive increased <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> 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 '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''' 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 <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>-endowed Elemental Buster when <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> is present. | 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.

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}}'''. Through space | 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}}'''. Through time and space, this manipulation of magic to conceal their close companions also led them to master blending 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. | ||
