Spiritmaster
A spirit commander that uses elemental summons to create flexible damage, control, utility, and space management.
Version: AION 2 Chapter 1
Overview
Spiritmaster is AION 2’s indirect-combat specialist. Instead of expressing every decision through a direct attack, it commands spirits that change the shape of an encounter: one spirit can add pressure, another can help hold attention, and another can provide utility or sustain. This gives the class a distinctive learning curve. It can feel approachable because the spirits keep contributing while the player repositions, but strong play still requires planning which spirit fits the target, managing the summon’s position, and understanding how control effects interact with the rest of the party.
