Aviso: Esta es una información SOLO para aquellos que quieran buscar los más mínimos detalles sobre como funciona un Sorcerer en el PvP, y cómo sacarle el mejor partido viendo las conclusiones a las que han llegado otros.
“La mejor experiencia SIEMPRE es la propia”, aunque esto os puede orientar
Sorcs disable the enemy with conditions, then puts large amount of burst firepower to kill. When flight controls are added to this class, they become something like Gunships.
But to become like a gunship, you must get a few things straight.
First is the flight speed and items that give bonuses to flight time. Flight speed can be increased by gears that give bonus flight speed and Major Flight Speed Increase scrolls. If you got these, then you already are a Gunship.
Sorcerer vs Templar
One of the most annoying opponents to deal with, the Templars.
Not only do they have lots of HP, they have a skill that can raise magical resistance waaay up (Armor of Interception, look in Templar PvP translation) So its not an opponent you can defeat within a short time.
Time your condition skills with the time that their Armor of Interception would end, then plan ur strategy from there.
Tips from Player Mebby, Server Spatalos, Lvl 50, Asmodian
Watch when that Armor of Interception comes down, then run down snare. The thing that makes Templars different than Glads in this aspect is that they have a skill that can release snare other than using a Greater CC Pot. Its Iron Skin and a skill that prevents anti-Flight magic (referring to Shield of Speed, look into Templar PvP thread). Snare, then use a shutdown condition, then deal damage. After this, you have go unload your instant cast skills then use a shutdown condition again, and repeat.
Tips from Player 프리샤, Server Kasaka, Lvl 50, Elyos
Use Stone Skin?s 4 min duration 2 min recharge time carefully, and Grace of Prot well. When the Templar throws a stunning strike, immediately use Greater CC Pot then get some distance while using Flame Cage I - Skills - Aion and Erosion I - Skills - Aion . You stop running when the Templar´s Armor of Interception runs out, then snare him with Restraint of Winter I - Skills - Aion or normal snare. Then turn on Baizel's Wisdom I - Skills - Aion, and unload Flame of Hell I - Skills - Aion and Volcanic Eruption I - Skills - Aion (note, actual Kor version damage is more than 4 times than this). These do a lot of damage, and if they eat it, it breaks down about half their hp. Then unload your quick and instant cast skills in any order. While they are running, if their Iron Skin has cooled off, turn on your Shock absorption scroll so you don´t get Stunning Strike´d. For me, once I got 7k hp I could deal with a templar. Before I used to get burned, anyway, using this method I usually win 1 on 1.
Sorcerer vs Gladiator
You get the feeling that they are a little easier than Templars, but you should watch out for their Aerial Thrust! Just keep your distance.
As usual, use shutdown condition, then unload some burst damage onto them.
Tips from Player Mebby, Server Spatalos, Lvl 50, Asmodian
Once the opponent gets out of snare with a Greater CC pot, make him a tree. Then go upto him and hit him with WinterRestraint. Reason being, if you attack him under tree state, the Tree stigma´s enemy magical defense buff will kick in, doing less dmg. Once you´ve hit him with winter restraint, under this state he cant do much other than throw ranged chain. These attacks shoudn´t hurt unless your Stone Skin is down. Use boon + Baizel´s Wisdom, Then use Delayed Blast I - Skills - Aion > Lava Tsunami I - Skills - Aion > Flame of Hell I - Skills - Aion > Soul Freeze I - Skills - Aion > Frost I - Skills – Aion > Summon Cold Air I - Skills - Aion . If you even unload your DP skill, it´s a damage amount impossible for Gladiators to survive.
Tips from Player 프리샤, Server Kasaka, Lvl 50, Elyos
Once you´ve used either Winter Restraint or Restraint and force him to use a CC pot, then restraint him with one of the two that you havent used, turn on Baizel´s then unload Flames of Hell and Volcanic Explosion, unless he doesn´t have Armor of Balance. If he doesn´t, turn him into a tree then put him to Aerial Thrust, and go from there. Their Aerial Thrust is instant, so you should kill them from a distance. You can remove their Ankle Snare I - Items - Aion with Dimension Door I - Skills - Aion , but in Aerial Thrust not really. If you´ve been Ankle snared and cant DDoor, use tree/sleep/Grace of Prot/Barrier of Severance, and go from there.
Sorcerer vs Ranger
Scouts can use Hide, so to Sorcerers they are sworn enemies.
Not only that, Rangers have longer range, so many times rangers gets the first attack opportunity.
To fight rangers who can hide and fire devastating burst damage, using the Chat to your advantage will help a lot.
Tips from Player Mebby, Server Spatalos, Lvl 50, Asmodian
Using Silence, sleep, and hide ability, Rangers can pour explosive damage onto Sorcerers, leaving them wondering why they died. While you are fighting, if you receive criticals it will leave you speechless. If you don´t receive criticals and your invincibility spell(s) (he means Barrier of Severance, Sorcs have 2 invincibility skills tho) are recharged, you can fight them fine. But top notch 1% Rangers use sleep to prevent the invincibility spell, making it mind-boggling to fight them. If you saw him first, unload your Frost (Severe Cold if you are Asmo) and other skills of same kind. If he saw you first, don´t even look back and press that invincibility spell, or Dimension Door to make him lose target, then deal from there. .
Sorcerer vs Assassin
They are called sworn enemies of Sorcerers: Assassins.
Even though Sorcerers skill line lets them defend against them, they are still very dangerous to the low HP class. If you?ve been hit with Ambush I - Skills - Aion and died in one chain, too bad. But if you see room, you must use Dimension Door, put him on shutdown condition then kill him with strong burst.
Tips from Player Mebby, Server Spatalos, Lvl 50, Asmodian
To Sorcerers they are a scary existence. They can use Throw Dagger I - Skills - Aion followed by one-kill chain. Also, the most of the top notch 1% assassins are now acquiring Paralysis Godstones. To avoid getting caught by this skill, two things you can do are raising Magical Resistance or using HP manastones. Once you´ve been stunned in air, you must get away quickly using restraints then go from there. Use Flame Cage DOT´s to take down their evasion skills, Once they released their restraint with a Greater CC pot, if you can unload a Soul Freeze onto them, it makes the fight easier. While you are fighting during flight, get away using DOT´s and Cold summonings.
Tips from Player 중독된 보이, Server 페렌토, Lvl 50, Asmodian
Using the Chat If you look in the chat tabs theres a tab named Combat. Take that out to another place in ur UI, go into options, click on Combat , Third, uncheck everything else, make the font colored Red, then click Change Flight If you are in flight, they cannot use Ambush.
Sorcerer vs Cleric
Tips from Player Mebby, Server Spatalos, Lvl 50, Asmodian
Just make him a tree. If you are out of range, snare him then make the room. Once they are a tree, you do the combo. The combo that everyone knows that I listed in .vs Gladiator.
Sorcerer vs Chanter
The reason may be that its so easy for Sorcerers to kill Chanters, but there wasn?t any good suggestion on how to fight this class. The little amount of suggestion was really generic.
However, to beat them, sorcs should follow the same tactics to beat Clerics.
Sorcerer vs Sorcerer
Same class. It will depend on whose shutdown conditions succeed.
Knowing your class, it will be much easier to spot weaknesses. First sighted will put shutdown first, and deal damage first!
Tips from Player Mebby, Server Spatalos, Lvl 50, Asmodian
If you are fight the same Sorc class, the side who turns the other into a tree will be advantageous. If you can Freeze then Curse Tree, then owned he will be. If you´ve been caught with no Stone Skin available or low hp, restrain him then run. He will eat Greater CC then come after you. Once you´ve got some def and cooltimes down, fly once he comes close, then DDoor then use Soul Freeze. Or you can just suddenly stop running, use DDoor Freeze then Restraint of winter. Since he used Greater CC on Restraint earlier, he´d be unable to use magic. Then you know what to do.
Sorcerer vs Spiritmaster
Same Mage school, but one of the most annoying opponents.
Especially you must avoid the Flight disabling skill and control disruption skills they possess. Try to hit them unnoticed.
Tips from Player 쏘스, Server Asphel, Lvl 33, 4th Sorcerer character
If you think the opponent is lower lvl, less-experienced, or worse-equipped, then fight. Freeze (Spiritmaster?s first skill to avoid against Sorcs) > Treee > Restraint > Soul Freeze > Burst damage. If you think it´s a fair match or better, don´t do it. Very hard to win.
Heres a little recap of what Sorcs can do in PvP:
Backward Dimension Backdoor = Pro
He isnt all that epic anymore with the newer pros out, still awesome.
