The Complete Elemental Master Guide by Maybel & Sobel

Male and Female Elemental Master

Elemental Master (abbrev. as EM) is the 4th class of the Sage/Professor/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 Psychic Wave and its companion skills like Diamond Dust, Earth Grave, and Varetyr Spear 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 Patent Shadow Staff, 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!" Well to whomever stuck around with the class despite all those hates, we are both very well happy to say those haters 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 Poison magic.
  • One of their main skills called Venom Swamp 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 Conflagration, Lightning Land, Diamond Storm, and Terra Drive 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 @autoloot 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 Elemental Buster not only acts as their 4th job equivalent of Psychic Wave in that it can be endowed to either Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, or Poison—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! *cough* Autocast Elemental Buster *cough*

• They have at least 2 forms of mobility with the skills Lvl. 1 Summon Ventus on Lvl. 2 Elemental Control (Defensive Mode) and Psychic Stream.
  • You may argue that Guyak Pudding (12710) is basically free and only costs 10 Muh Coin (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 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

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 Cold Bolt, Fire Bolt, Lightning Bolt, and Fire Ball 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 Fire Wall 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 Spell Fist build. Mages also have access to Energy Coat which gives another layer of Defense for the class.

Skill Tree

Skill	Notes	Points	Type
Increase SP Recovery	One of the most useful skills you'll learn as a Mage. Put 10 skill points on this one as this will help you replenish your SP passively when standing in one spot as you do DPS, and also improve the potency of SP regenerating potions	10	Passive
Sight	Allot 1 skill point to this skill. It will reveal monsters under the Cloaking or Hiding state. Monsters in Depth Abyss 2 such as the Two-Eyes Dollocaris and Flame Ghost will be unveiled by this spell.	1	Supportive
Napalm Beat	Just enough points as a prerequisite skill for Safety Wall.	7	Offensive
Safety Wall	Place 10 skill points on this one and max it out. A good skill to defend yourself and your party members against normal melee attacks. When supporting, you can just spam this underneath your party's tank.	10	Defensive
Soul Strike	Just enough points as a prerequisite skill for Safety Wall.	5	Offensive
Cold Bolt	Max it out if you're planning on playing Spellfist eventually. Otherwise, just put enough points as a prerequisite skill for the Sage's Frost Weapon skill.	5 / 10	Offensive
Frost Diver	Dump whatever skill points you have left on this one I suppose.	8	Offensive
Stone Curse	Just enough points as a prerequisite skill for the Sage's Seismic Weapon skill.	1	Supportive
Fire Ball	For early leveling, you can max it out then just take away some skill points afterwards as it will be only used for that purpose. Reset your skill points by talking to the Build Manager NPC Lotus (main_office 122, 169) when you're done leveling with this skill, and put them on other important skills. It'll only cost 5,000 zeny to reset skill trees, so don't be afraid if you allocated points on a leveling skill such as Fire Ball.	0 / 10	Offensive
Fire Wall	Just like Fire Ball, it is also needed for the early leveling phase.	0 / 10	Supportive
Fire Bolt	Max it out if you're planning on playing Spellfist eventually. Otherwise, just put enough points as a prerequisite skill for the Sage's Flame Launcher skill.	1 / 10	Offensive
Lightning Bolt	Max it out if you're planning on playing Spellfist eventually. Otherwise, just put enough points as a prerequisite skill for the Sage's Lightning Loader skill.	1 / 10	Offensive
Thunder Storm	Skip this one. No place as a prerequisite skill either.	0	Offensive
Energy Coat	Always an available skill to have as a Mage, but you may need to talk to the Platinum Skill NPC (main_office 84, 59) first to unlock this one. 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.	1	Defensive

Sage

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 Dispell, Magic Rod, and Spell Breaker skills to disable monsters and MVPs rendering them crippled and weaker and of course their bread and butter the Land Protector 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 Volcano, Deluge, and Violent Gale. This is further enhanced by their endow skills Flame Launcher, Frost Weapon, Lightning Loader, and Seismic Weapon 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 [ ( Fire Elemental Converter (12114) , Water Elemental Converter (12115) , Earth Elemental Converter (12116) , and Wind Elemental Converter (12117) ] with their skill Create Elemental Converter 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!

Skill Tree

Skill	Notes	Points	Type
Advanced Book	At max level, your damage increases by 30 and ASPD by 5% when equipping book-type weapons. Always put 10 skill points on this as the additional ASPD% will be useful in the later stages as an Elemental Master. More ASPD will give smoother flow on your skill rotations.	10	Passive
Cast Cancel	Just enough skill points as a prerequisite skill for Free Cast.	1	Supportive
Magic Rod	Allot enough skill points as a prerequisite skill to Dispell. When timed perfectly, any targeted magical spells such as Fenrir's or Betelguese's Tetra Vortex can be absorbed by Magic Rod. You'll need a lot of ACD to spam this skill effectively though, and at higher levels it'll have a bigger time window so more targeted spells can be absorbed during that time frame.	1 / 5	Defensive
Spell Breaker	Allot enough skill points as a prerequisite skill to Dispell. Often overlooked, Spellbreaker is actually a pretty handy skill to have especially when you're tanking or supporting your party. It works 100% of the time when used on normal monsters and 10% against MVPs that have long-casting skills.	3	Defensive
Free Cast	Place at least 1 skill point on this one. There are skills such as Energy Coat where you can't really instant cast, and having Free Cast will allow you to move and displace yourself as you take your time casting such skills.	1	Active
Auto Spell	One of the core skills to have as a Spellfist user. Max this one out if you plan on building Spellfist; otherwise leave it at 0. Higher levels will give you more spell varieties to auto-cast, and will also increase the chance of it procing up to 20%. This skill works best when buffed with the Soul Reaper's Sage Spirit skill as this will allow you to auto-cast the highest level of your bolt skills casted from Auto Spell.	0 / 10	Active
Flame Launcher	Allot 5 skills points on this skill. Flame Launcher endows your weapon and your party members' weapon to the Fire property. It also give you an additional 5% Fire property magical damage.	5	Supportive
Frost Weapon	Allot 5 skills points on this skill. Frost Weapon endows your weapon and your party members' weapon to the Water property. It also give you an additional 5% Water property magical damage.	5	Supportive
Lightning Loader	Allot 5 skills points on this skill. Lightning Loader endows your weapon and your party members' weapon to the Wind property. It also give you an additional 5% Wind property magical damage.	5	Supportive
Seismic Weapon	Allot 5 skills points on this skill. Seismic Weapon endows your weapon and your party members' weapon to the Earth property. It also give you an additional 5% Earth property magical damage.	5	Supportive
Dragonology	At max level, this skill will give you +3 INT, +20% resistance against Dragon races which is perfect for tanking Betelguese and enables EMs to get full 100% Dragon resist with the right gears; and +10% Magical Damage/20% Physical Damage against Dragon races. Always put 5 skill points to this one, regardless if you're gonna go in as tank EM or DPS EM during CT runs. It's always good to have some resistances in your build anyway.	5	Passive
Volcano	Allot 5 skill points on this skill. At max level, Volcano gives +20% Fire Damage which directly interacts with the elemental table and it only means if you're doing 100% Fire damage on a monster you'll do +120% instead. Also gives +30 ATK/MAtk. You'll use this one most of the time when focusing on DPS. Any entity inside its AoE will benefit from Volcano's effects. As an example, Betelguese standing underneath Volcano will amplify his Meteor Storms just as your Conflagration or Fire-endowed Elemental Buster would be boosted in the same manner, so careful placement of your set-ups are always necessary.	5	Supportive
Deluge	Allot 5 skill points on this skill. At max level, Deluge gives +20% Water Damage which directly interacts with the elemental table and it only means if you're doing 100% Water damage on a monster you'll do +120% instead. Also gives +15% MaxHP which works perfectly well with HP-based builds of the Inquisitors and Dragon Knights. It also gives more HP% on your Elementals and High Elementals—we'll talk more about it in their own section. Any entity inside its AoE will benefit from Deluge's effects. As an example, Lasgand standing underneath Deluge will amplify his Storm Gust just as your Diamond Storm or Water-endowed Elemental Buster would be boosted in the same manner, so careful placement of your set-ups are always necessary. Oh and he would also get +15% MaxHP and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want that.	5	Supportive
Violent Gale	Allot 5 skill points on this skill. At max level, Violent Gale gives +20% Wind Damage which directly interacts with the elemental table and it only means if you're doing 100% Wind damage on a monster you'll do +120% instead. Also gives +15 FLEE which may help in some FLEE-based builds. Any entity inside its AoE will benefit from Violent Gale's effects. As an example, Schulang standing underneath Violent Gale will amplify his Lord of Vermilion just as your Lightning Land or Wind-endowed Elemental Buster would be boosted in the same manner, so careful placement of your set-ups are always necessary.	5	Supportive
Land Protector	Land Protector will form a 7x7~11x11 (scales with level) protective area on the ground that will nullify all ground magical skills. LP will get its own section as there's more to LP than just a protective area. For more info, check down below.	5	Defensive
Dispell	No reason to leave it Lvl. 1. Always get the maximum level of this skill. Removes most buffs and debuffs from enemies and allies alike. Be careful when you're using this skill as it can also remove debuffs your party has applied on the enemies such as the Warlock's Comet's Magic Intoxication or the Rogue's Raid (Sightless Mind), so it's always advisable to coordinate with them before using this skill. For a list of buffs and debuffs that Dispell removes, check down below.	5	Supportive
Abracadabra	Skip this one. No place as a prerequisite skill either. But if you wanna have fun and play around with this skill's randomness, then go ahead and use it I guess. You have a chance to use it to tame monsters and turn them into pets starting at Lvl. 6.	0	Active
Sense	Put 1 skill point to this one. There are times you're unsure of the monster's property or just its overall data, and with this skill you'll reveal all of it including its current HP.	1	Supportive
Earth Spike	Just enough points as a prerequisite skill for the Sorcerer's Earth Grave skill.	5	Offensive
Heaven's Drive	Skip this one, but if you plan on focusing mainly on Poison builds then put 5 skill points since this will be needed as a prerequisite skill for the Sorcerer's Killing Cloud skill.	0 / 5	Offensive
Elemental Change (^0000BBWater^000000)	Always an available skill to have as a Sage once you've talked to the Platinum Skill NPC at the Main office (@go 50). Technically a debuff but you'll have better debuffs that behave the same way as this skill on your 4th job skill Diamond Storm.	1	Active
Elemental Change (^CC5500Earth^000000)	Always an available skill to have as a Sage once you've talked to the Platinum Skill NPC at the Main office (@go 50). Technically a debuff but you'll have better debuffs that behave the same way as this skill on your 4th job skill Terra Drive.	1	Active
Elemental Change (^FF0000Fire^000000)	Always an available skill to have as a Sage once you've talked to the Platinum Skill NPC at the Main office (@go 50). Technically a debuff but you'll have better debuffs that behave the same way as this skill on your 4th job skill Conflagration.	1	Active
Elemental Change (^33CC00Wind^000000)	Always an available skill to have as a Sage once you've talked to the Platinum Skill NPC at the Main office (@go 50). Technically a debuff but you'll have better debuffs that behave the same way as this skill on your 4th job skill Lightning Land.	1	Active
Create Elemental Converter	Always an available skill to have as a Sage once you've talked to the Platinum Skill NPC at the Main office (@go 50). Lets you create an Elemental Converter of the Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth property. Fire Elemental Converter (12114) = 1 Blank Scroll (7433) + 1 Red Blood (990) Water Elemental Converter (12115) = 1 Blank Scroll (7433) + 1 Crystal Blue (991) Wind Elemental Converter (12117) = 1 Blank Scroll (7433) + 1 Wind of Verdure (992) Earth Elemental Converter (12116) = 1 Blank Scroll (7433) + 1 Green Live (993) Blank scroll can be purchased from the Scroll Merchant NPC at (yuno_in03 176, 22) For more info on where to farm the elemental stones, check down below.	1	Active

Professor

Professor class. 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 Soul Change, and even regenerate their own SP thru the HP%-SP% based skill Indulge. Another SP-manipulating skill they have learned is the skill Soul Burn, 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 Dispell from their previous job as Sages. Defensively, they've also learned new skills such as Wall of Fog (Blinding Mist), and Spider Web (Fiber Lock) that complements well with Safety Wall and Deluge 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 Double Casting 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.

Skill Tree

Skill	Notes	Points	Type
Indulge	Maximize this skill and put 5 skill points. Nothing is more important than having a healthy SP pool at all times, especially when you're gonna be using Energy Coat 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. Having 0 SP will make the skill fail since it needs at least 1~5 SP (scales with level) or more in order to cast Indulge.	5	Supportive
Soul Change	If you're playing in a party, you could put 1 skill point on this one so you support them better; otherwise just leave it be and put your skill points elsewhere. When you reached the end stages of the game, almost everybody will have SP recovering consumables like Concentrated Blue Syrup Potion (1100004) , Small Mana Potion (23203) or party buffs like the Performers' Song of Mana.	0 / 1	Supportive
Soul Burn	Don't get this unless you're joining PVP or WoE, since this skill could only be used on those scenarios. I recommend to get only Lvls. 4 or 5 of this skill or not at all. Lvls. 4 & 5 get 70% success chance while the rest gets nothing above or equal to it and if this skill fails it will only drain your own SP instead of the enemy's! Be sure to have any SP healing items for emergency situations like this.	0 / 5	Offensive
Mind Breaker	It may have some uses inside PvP or WoE, but not that much needed in PvE. This skill will decrease the MDef% of the enemy by 60% at the cost of increasing their MAtk% by 100%. Use this skill instead on the opposing team's tank or physical attacker to cripple them; otherwise if you cast it on a magical attacker, it might play to your party's disadvantage and you'll regret it.	0 / 5	Offensive
Memorize (Foresight)	Not needed in the current state of the game since instant cast is easy to get elsewhere. It's also important to note that should you still decide to get it, keep in mind that it only works for 5 skills in total. If you use it to cast the skill Sight or Indulge, you've basically wasted 2 out of your 5 chances to reduce the cast time of your skills since those 2 aforementioned skills have 0 casting time.	0	Active
Wall of Fog (Blinding Mist)	Place 1 skill point on this one. Wall of Fog is a defensive skill that will protect anyone inside its 5x3 AoE from ranged targeted skills and ranged attacks. This does not give total immunity against ranged physical attacks and skills though unlike the Acolyte branch's Pneuma just to be clear. It will only decrease the damage by 75%. HIT rate is also reduced by 50 pts. Ranged targeted skills (both physical and magical) will have a 75% chance to miss. This skill also gets doubled duration when placed under Deluge. 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 Land Protector or any of the ground-effect clearing skills such as the High Wizard's Ganbantein skill or the Geneticist's Crazy Weed 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 Safety Wall 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 ashttps://muhro.eu/flux/data/items/icons/1100005.png Concentrated Golden Syrup Potion (1100005) .	1	Defensive
Spider Web (Fiber Lock)	Mostly used in PvP or WoE scenes. Not much use in PvE. When used, it'll consume 1 Cobweb (1025) and reduces their FLEE rate by a flat amount of 50 pts. of whoever is trapped in it. Cobwebs are dropped by Argos and they can be found at Mjolnir 10 (mjolnir_10 , ). It's got some uses though for some of the server's events like the recently ended Autumn Event. It works perfectly on the Sentinels, though just keep in mind it gets destroyed when it gets struck by any Fire property attacks.	1	Defensive
Double Casting	Maximize this skill and allot 5 skill points if you're gonna play Spellfist. Double Casting at max level gives 80% chance for any bolt skills from any sources (either from the Sage's Auto Spell skill, gears, cards or your own Elementals from Sorcerer & High Elementals from Elemental Master) to be repeated or recasted. So long as this skill is active it will cast all bolt skills with 0 limits.	0 / 5	Active

Sorcerer

Sorcerer class. Artwork by michaelxgamingph of devianart.

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 or known amongst the commoners as the Elementals that embody and represent the 4 Elements of Nature: the Fire Spirit Ardor, the Water Spirit Diluvio, the Wind Spirit Ventus, and the Earth Spirit Terra Guided by the blessings granted to them by the great spirits, 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 Summon Agni, Summon Aqua, Summon Ventus, and Summon Tera. 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 Psychic Wave, Diamond Dust, Earth Grave, and Varetyr Spear.

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 Summon Aqua in Lvl. 1 Elemental Control (Passive Mode) would endow its summoner's Psychic Wave skill with the Water property, as well as boosting the damage output of Diamond Dust 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 Elemental Sympathy 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 Insignia system ( Fire Insignia, Water Insignia, Wind Insignia, & Earth Insignia) 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 Poison magic. This started the beginning stages of the so-called Poison magic and turned into a practice for the class to satiate their hunger. Albeit limited, this allowed Sorcerers to use Poison skills such as Poison Buster and Killing Cloud.

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. Extreme Vacuum is a crowd control or root skill that immobilizes any unit that steps within its AoE. Arrullo is another skill that may come off as infuriating to many and acts as a debuff when used in the PvP and WoE scenes.

Skill Tree

Skill	Notes	Points	Type
Psychic Wave	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 Shadow Staff [2] (26118) or its enhanced version Patent Shadow Staff [2] (550012) , Professor Stone (Low) (25419) + Sorcerer Stone (Garment) (25420) that reduce its cooldown by 3 seconds in total, which are useful in leveling. Psychic Wave by default is Neutral property but it can also be endowed to the 4 basic elements Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth, depending on the active modes and levels of the summoned Elementals. As an example, a summoned Lvl. 2 Summon Agni in Lvl. 1 Elemental Control (Passive Mode) would endow its summoner's Psychic Wave skill with the Fire 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 only AoE skill with the widest AoE, your 4th job High Elementals would still give you ability to endow this skill's property to the 4 basic elements + Poison 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.	5	Offensive
Diamond Dust	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 Sorcerer Stone (Mid) (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%. This 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 Sorcerer Shadow Weapon (24297) . At +10, the cooldown of this skill is reduced by 4 seconds which make it possible to reduce your skill rotation down to 2 skills in a sequence similar to this: Psychic Wave —> Diamond Dust —> Diamond Dust — Psychic Wave —> repeat It also gives out an annoying debuff commonly complained about in the PvP/WoE scenes. Diamond Dust has a 30% chance to apply the crystallization debuff. The chance of application is further increased when a Lvl. 2 Summon Aqua in Lvl. 1 Elemental Control (Passive Mode) is active. It also increases Diamond Dust's damage by (JobLv x 5)%.	5	Offensive
