Sorcerers are masters of elemental damage. They are the ultimate form of mages, in terms of damage capabilities and crowd control. However, sorcerers are still fragile characters – limited on using cloth armors only. Because of this, they are amply named as “glass cannons” or characters capable of dishing high damage output but have very low survivability. Sorcerers can only use spellbooks and orbs as their weapons. Since they have low amount of hit points and very little defense against attacks, sorcerers can perform their best if protected by sturdier allies like warriors and priests. Sorcerers rely on heavy, long distance damage. If ever enemies come close, they can restrain them or put them to sleep. They can also teleport away from danger at a short distance. Sorcerers only have absorption shield buffs that they can rely on for preventing direct damage; however they can’t use it that often, due to average cooldown time. One of the most popular sorcerer tactics devised by sorcerers is snaring/restraining enemies in place then bombarding them with high level and extremely damaging AoE (area-of-effect) spells, preventing any means of escape or even defending themselves. Nasty.

A sorcerer’s skill tree is consisted of offensive spells mostly. Level 10 will open unique divine powers for Elyos and Asmodians, as well as a sleep spell and a passive flight skill. The sorcerer’s defensive skills are even enhanced after reaching level 13, where they can unlock the Dimension Door and Robe of Earth skills. The latter increases MP regeneration, fire and water resist for a good period of time. At level 16, sorcerers have the option to increase their maximum mana (passive) and as their level increases, higher and better spells becomes available at their disposal. Sorcerers will have access to exceptional crowd-control and AoE (area-of-effect) on higher levels. The sorcerers’ stigma skills will further unleash their devastating potential by giving them access to even more powerful spells and useful spells. Some of the stigma skills will allow sorcs to decrease the mana consumption of all skills, lower their casting time and even curse enemies.

Playing as a sorcerer requires quick reaction, especially in monitoring their abilities’ cooldown times. Sorcerers can’t be micromanaged, unlike the other classes since they need to rely on their massive array of skills in order to survive and win the fight. Sorcerers can turn the tide of battle with their powers. Take them along in a party and players won’t have problems taking on hordes of enemies at once.

Looking for a dedicated tank or meat-shield in the middle of a fight? You don’t need to look further, especially if you have a Templar in your party. Templars are excellent defensive warriors, capable of withstanding enormous amount of punishment while maintaining a balanced offensive capability. They have the ability to heal themselves, use buffs to enhance protection and resistance and even protect a team mate and take all the damage unto themselves. Templars can also effectively cast chants of protection and heal even while under direct assault, making them invaluable allies in the frontlines. They can use swords and maces as their primary weapons (they have the option to wield a two-handed sword as well) and their ever trusty shields on the other hand. Templars and gladiators carry the same gears. The only main difference that since templars are more defense oriented, their weapon choices are limited compared to gladiators.

The Templars’ combat skill tree has a natural mixture of buffs, sword and shield skills. Some of the most notable defensive skills unique to templars include Deity Armor, (recover 25% of max HP, increase max HP by 50%, HP regeneration by 50 for 3min) Double Armor (removes all debuffs, absorbs 50% damage for 30 seconds) and Iron Wall to name a few. Some of the templars most effective combos are counterattacks while their shields are raised and after deflecting an attack. A good example is the Shield Block – Shield Counterattack – Shield Charge combo that not only cancels the aggressor’s attack, but deals damage, stuns and knocks down in return. This will leave the stunned attacker open for your own or your party’s chain attacks. Templars are also good in building threat and aggro, making them very effective in controlling enemy mobs and taking their attention away from the templars’ team mates. While in flight, templars can use a unique passive skill that can increase their stamina and agility by 10 as well their flying speed by a certain percentage. On land, templars are not very mobile characters one of the obvious Templar strategies in this case would be flying, a decision that must be made whenever the situation calls for it.

Being an Aion templar may require above average dedication since players need to know what skill to use and when to use it in order to fight effectively. Being the real tank and all, things can get hairy in a short notice, especially when fighting a huge number of enemies. Templars can very much handle themselves alone but their real strength is displayed in protecting others and fighting in a party.

This a basic guide for the Warrior class. For more in-depth strategies, tips and tricks, this collection of Aion Guides is very much recommended. You will also find the Aion Strategy Guide and Aion Kinah-making Guide extremely useful as supplements to the class guides.

One of the four main or “base” character classes in Aion, warriors obviously excel in close-quarter combat. They can wield a wide variety of weapons and their skill sets are very physically oriented. Relying primarily on brute force for offense and natural resiliency to withstand attacks, this class is very user friendly and can be easily maintained, especially for new players. Upon reaching a certain proficiency level, warriors can also become Gladiators and Templars, which specializes in offense and defense respectively.

Warriors can utilize polearms, greatswords, swords, maces, shields and heavy armors, which are not readily wearable by other classes. Paired with skills that help boost max HP, offense and parrying, warriors can take on almost any punishment and deliver deadly blows in return. Since warriors don’t have any effective healing skill, they will rely heavily on bandages, foods and potions to keep their HP up, especially in the heat of the battle. However, with the support of a priest or cleric, warriors can be ultimately unstoppable.

Warriors’ effectiveness in combat is primarily due to their easily-chained combat skills. For example, they can buff themselves to increase the damage they deal and absorb any inflicted damage to them for a few seconds and chain it with one or two of their offensive combat skills. Or better yet, lower the target’s armor rating for a few seconds before delivering the crushing blows. While defending, warriors can also increase their block rate, armor rating and stun resist to mitigate as much damage as possible or even retaliate with a shield bash after blocking an attack, which may effectively stun an enemy, giving them a window to attack.

Warriors can definitely handle their own during solo missions though it may be troublesome for them to go on against a huge crowd without a large supply of healing/recovery items or without the support of healers. This can go on until warriors reach LV9, which will be the start for quest called “Ascension” which is basically the preparation for the new professions that will be available at LV10. At this level, warriors will also learn the skill called Provoke, which will allow them to get the enemies’ attention (aggro) and take the brunt themselves. This is a pretty useful party-skill, which can protect the lesser armored support characters in the rear or aggressive players can use this to hoard the kills and gain more experience instead. Don’t overdo this method as it is always possible to get surrounded or overwhelmed; without support or allies, healing items in the player’s inventory can only take them so far.

As a gist of what is discussed above, the warrior class can be recommended for new players trying to feel their way through an MMORPG world or fans of heavy warriors capable of pummeling enemies to fine pieces.
