Spiritmaster (Elementalist) Guide & Build (Aion 2)

Every skill your spirit uses gives you one element. At four you get the “Four Elements” state and can cast this skill: the strongest hit of the class, from 20 m. No cooldown.

• 8Changes to AoE SkillFor mob packs while leveling (couga54).
• 8Extra damage after 3s on hit
• 8+10 all Element Boost on hit
• 12Changes to Charge Skill, dealing up to 200% more damageaLuckyRO (Oct 4): a charged one hit for 21,000 instead of 7,000. But then you press it by hand, not in the macro. Game8 takes it too.
• 1625% chance to regain Four ElementsSometimes you get the next Fusion right away (couga54, Fextralife).

A common mistake is thinking you need 4 different spirits. What counts is the number of spirit skills, not their type (ExpCarry). Raise it to 8 from ~level 22, when you get the Ancient Spirit.

Fire on a target from 20 m and on up to 4 enemies next to it. No cooldown, so it fills every gap in your line.

• 8-20% MP consumedFor the first days, when you run out of mana (aLuckyRO, Game8).

Your basic attack on the left mouse button. No cooldown, 20 m range. Every hit restores 100 MP, and every third hit is a stronger “Earth Tremor”.

• 1610% chance to remove 1 buff on landing [Earth Tremor]

aLuckyRO: “priority number one”. You reach 12 with the Nezekan and Zikel boards (level 20). couga54: 16 is best, 14 is enough.

Water spirit. It hits the target from 20 m, then fights next to you and gives you 20 MP with every attack. The best spirit for leveling. 15 s cooldown.

couga54: leave it at 1 while leveling and play with the water spirit. ExpCarry and DankRNG say to level it earlier. Summon it last in your line so it stays on the field.

Hits up to 4 enemies from 20 m and applies a Curse for 5 s: damage every second, and the target deals 10% less damage to you. Your spirit attacks together with you. 10 s cooldown.

aLuckyRO and couga54: the ideal spirit for “tanking” solo. Tsuruf: only when you are short on HP. In a group with a tank it may pull the boss off the tank. No source says this directly, it follows from the skill description.

A hit from 20 m that only works on a target in the Stagger state, i.e. when the boss's bar has been broken. No cooldown.

aLuckyRO: keep it in your line during the first week, because four summons guarantee an Elemental Fusion. Drop it once three spirits trigger Fusion on their own. DankRNG, couga54 and OneTimeACraft skip it.

A hit from 20 m with a 70% chance to Fear for 5 s (mobs are always feared). 45 s cooldown.

After a spirit skill hits, you get +1.1% Critical Damage, up to 5 times.

Skip it until you actually land critical hits, around 800–1000 Critical Hit (aLuckyRO, couga54). Later it is third (couga54).

11% chance for −1 s on summon cooldowns. Also heals your spirit.

couga54: fourth. Tsuruf: “important”. aLuckyRO: medium priority.

For 10 s after summoning a spirit you have a 50% chance for extra damage. After the Ancient Spirit, for 30 s.

Good for the first days: aLuckyRO and couga54 put it second at that point.

couga54: third in the first days. Game8: second, right after Spirit Strike.

+100 Critical Hit and a 50% chance for extra damage on a critical hit. Don't confuse it with the Jointstrike: Corrode Stigma.

Skip it at the start, because you don't land critical hits yet (aLuckyRO, couga54).

+2% Defense for you and your spirit.

aLuckyRO: medium priority, because you are squishy. OneTimeACraft: defense goes last. couga54 only takes it for PvP.
