A high-impact caster that converts preparation, range, and area spells into battlefield-wide magical pressure.

Sorcerer in Aion 2

Overview

Sorcerer is the classic high-output magic caster. It creates value by preparing a spell window, selecting a safe position, and releasing area or single-target magic before the encounter shifts again. The class is especially attractive to players who like planning burst and controlling groups of enemies, but it asks for patience: long casts and fragile positioning mean that movement must be anticipated. In group content, Sorcerer benefits from a tank who can hold a stable formation and from teammates who understand when to protect a casting window.
