1. 0:00This is the only sorcerer guide that you
2. 0:02will ever need for AON 2. We will go
3. 0:04over the main rotation, active and
4. 0:06passive skills, stigmas, stats, gear,
5. 0:09arcana, and deanian progression. So, if
6. 0:11you want to do insanely high damage
7. 0:13without constantly running out of mana
8. 0:15or wasting your strongest cooldowns,
9. 0:16then here's how to build your sorcerer
10. 0:18properly. First up, let's see how do you
11. 0:20actually play the sorcerer. Our PVE
12. 0:22setup combines ground DPS effects with a
13. 0:25fully charged hellfire which is a
14. 0:27cooldown reduction that brings
15. 0:28everything back sooner. We open with
16. 0:30your barrier and elemental enhancement
17. 0:32and then use the lead explosion and the
18. 0:34winter shackles. You place better cold
19. 0:36wind firewall and the cold storm while
20. 0:38the boss is staying in just one area and
21. 0:40then follow it with a fully charged
22. 0:42hellfire and then the firestorm. Now we
23. 0:44just use wish of concentration. It cool
24. 0:46down reduction will belong after you
25. 0:48committed your skills because it removes
26. 0:5010 seconds from the remaining cooldown.
27. 0:52Using it before those attacks will waste
28. 0:54part of the buff. So don't do it. Also
29. 0:56between these windows you can use three
30. 0:58flame arrows to reach the pyrolasm then
31. 1:01reset the blaze and then just keep the
32. 1:02sequence moving. Blaze also reduces wish
33. 1:05of the concentration cool down by 3
34. 1:07seconds which again helps you to repeat
35. 1:09the burst much sooner. Just watch out
36. 1:10for the mana throughout the fight. We
37. 1:12want to stay above 50% to keep the
38. 1:14critical hit bonus from our passive.
39. 1:16However, if you start dropping, then
40. 1:18recover mana first before ever
41. 1:20continuing with your expensive DPS
42. 1:22sequence. On top of it, if you use
43. 1:24macro, then you combine it through the
44. 1:25settings, then key settings, then click
45. 1:27gameplay and then macro. You can try 10
46. 1:29milliseconds of delay below 50 ping or
47. 1:3240 to 45 milliseconds around 80 to 100
48. 1:35ping and then just adjust for your
49. 1:37connection. Also keep the hellfire on a
50. 1:40separated key and then leave the frost
51. 1:42and the frost burst outside of the main
52. 1:44sequence so that they would not delay
53. 1:45your three flame arrows into the
54. 1:47pyroclasm. And let me quickly introduce
55. 1:49you to gear up booster because this is
56. 1:51one of the most useful tools that you
57. 1:53can have. The biggest feature for me is
58. 1:55the built-in DPS meter. Instead of
59. 1:57guessing if your build is actually
60. 1:58performing well, Gear Up can show your
61. 2:00damage in real time, including a live
62. 2:02team damage ranking during group
63. 2:04content, so you can instantly see how
64. 2:06your damage compares with everyone else
65. 2:08in the party. It also gives you much
66. 2:10deeper damage breakdown, showing exactly
67. 2:12how much damage is coming from your
68. 2:13individual skills. This means you can
69. 2:16actually identify which part of your
70. 2:17build are carrying your DPS, which
71. 2:19skills might be underperforming, and
72. 2:21where you can make improvements instead
73. 2:22of just blindly changing your setup.
74. 2:24However, on top of this, Gear Up Booster
75. 2:27is also designed to improve your
76. 2:28connection to the game. If you're
77. 2:30dealing with high ping, unstable
78. 2:31latency, lag spikes, or just
79. 2:33inconsistent routing to the server, then
80. 2:35Gear Up can optimize your connection and
81. 2:37help to reduce ping. This matters a lot,
82. 2:39especially when you're trying to time
83. 2:41abilities or set up your macros
84. 2:43properly. So, if you want the best DPS
85. 2:45meter and more stable connection with
86. 2:47lower ping, then click my link in
87. 2:49description and use code KA games for
88. 2:5110% off.
89. 2:54And next up, let's go over our skills.
90. 2:55Early on, we want to bring flame arrow
91. 2:57to level eight and then take mana
92. 2:59restoration. And then later, upgrade the
93. 3:01pyrolasm to apply fire mark for 5
94. 3:03seconds and then reset place. And this
95. 3:05sequence will make the basic attack
96. 3:07chain more important than your damage
97. 3:08cycle. The hellfire is your main charge
98. 3:11attack, so just hold the key until the
99. 3:12maximum charge indicator will appear.
100. 3:14Putting it in the macro will only
101. 3:16produce one charge, so keep it manual to
102. 3:18get the full payoff. Also, you want to
103. 3:20choose 30% skill speed and then work
104. 3:22towards the specialties that reduce its
105. 3:24cool down by 15 seconds and make it
106. 3:26ignore block and evasion while landing
107. 3:28as multi- hits. The 10-second lingering
108. 3:30fire option also works best when the
109. 3:33target will stay still. But against the
110. 3:34moving boss, faster casting, and multi-
111. 3:37hits are more consistent choice. The
112. 3:38Firestorm cooldown interaction is also
113. 3:41just as important. With this specific
114. 3:43specialty, each fireball will reduce
115. 3:44Hellfire's cool down by 2 seconds. Five
116. 3:47fireballs can remove 10 seconds, so use
117. 3:49the firestorm after the hellfire. Its
118. 3:5120% skill speed option also will help
119. 3:53with the sequence flow early on. This
120. 3:56spell can drain your mana quickly
121. 3:57because it comes back so often. So if
122. 3:59you're struggling to sustain it, then
123. 4:01use the mana cast reduction option until
124. 4:03your gear and recovery can comfortably
125. 4:05support the faster casting. For bitter
126. 4:07cold wind, just take the option that
127. 4:09lets you move while casting it. Pull
128. 4:11helps to gather regular enemies but
129. 4:13offers nothing against bosses. So adjust
130. 4:16that specialty when switching between
131. 4:17farming and the boss fights. The winter
132. 4:20shackles also will want PvE damage boost
133. 4:22and 15-second cooldown reduction for
134. 4:24wish of the concentration. Just
135. 4:26prioritize 10% additional attack and 10
136. 4:28second cooldown reduction across your
137. 4:30skills. And finally, the frost and frost
138. 4:32burst are fillers when your main attacks
139. 4:34are unavailable. The frost can restore
140. 4:36200 mana early while the later
141. 4:38specialties will reduce its cool down by
142. 4:405 seconds and reset the frost burst. on
143. 4:43the FRA burst in particular. 7% health
144. 4:45absorption will add sustain while its
145. 4:48offensive specialty will ignore block
146. 4:50and evasion on the guaranteed critical
147. 4:52hits. Next up, moving into the sorcerer
148. 4:54passive skills. And here we want to
149. 4:55prioritize robe of the flame, fire mark,
150. 4:58and grace of the enhancement. The robe
151. 5:00of flame is a major offensive priority,
152. 5:02so keep strengthening it through the
153. 5:03additional skill levels. The fire mark
154. 5:05will supply ongoing fire damage. Your
155. 5:07mana related critical hit passive is
156. 5:09also an important investment, but its
157. 5:11bonus depends on staying above 50% mana.
158. 5:14This makes the recovery part of your
159. 5:16damage super high. The passives that
160. 5:18improve damage against enemies above 60%
161. 5:20health also will strengthen your opening
162. 5:22pressure. The rule of thumb here is to
163. 5:24keep your resource recovery working so
164. 5:26that your important passive bonuses will
165. 5:28remain available during this early burst
166. 5:30windows. And then finally for our stigma
167. 5:33setup we will use elemental enhancement
168. 5:35firewall cold storm divine burst delayed
169. 5:38explosion and a defensive option. The
170. 5:40elemental enhancement will support your
171. 5:42burst while delayed explosion will start
172. 5:44the debuff setup. Firewall and the cold
173. 5:46storm will also provide ground effect
174. 5:48damage. So place them when the boss is
175. 5:50settled and likely to remain inside the
176. 5:51area. Divine burst will also add damage
177. 5:54while moving backward which gives you
178. 5:56another way to create space. And for
179. 5:57defenses, just choose the steel barrier
180. 6:00or arctic armor depending on your needs.
181. 6:02And then as your stigma investment
182. 6:04develops, you want to prioritize the
183. 6:05firewall and elemental enhancement. The
184. 6:07other skills can also develop around
185. 6:09level 20 before you push them even
186. 6:11further. And for more stigma shorts, you
187. 6:13can just spend abyss points or collect
188. 6:15drops through the dungeons. Always just
189. 6:17keep investing into the skills that you
190. 6:19use throughout your rotation.
191. 6:23>> [snorts]
192. 6:23>> Next up for stats, you want to focus on
193. 6:25attack, combat speed, damage boost,
194. 6:27cooldown recovery, and critical damage.
195. 6:29Faster casting will help you to finish
196. 6:31your spells, while shorter cooldowns
197. 6:33will support the repeated burst cycle.
198. 6:35The critical hit and accuracy will
199. 6:37matter, too, alongside penetration for
200. 6:39dealing with the enemy defenses. So,
201. 6:41just maintain enough mana and recovery
202. 6:43to support your casts and the passive
203. 6:44bonuses. Also, judge your stats
204. 6:47together. The goal here is the rotation
205. 6:49that casts smoothly, lands reliably, and
206. 6:51keeps enough mana available to maintain
207. 6:53its damage bonuses 24/7. Then for gear,
208. 6:56you want to prioritize weapon attack,
209. 6:58casting speed, critical bonuses, and any
210. 7:01other useful mana recovery. Your weapon
211. 7:03should always strengthen your damage
212. 7:05while supporting the resources that are
213. 7:06needed to keep casting. Armor should
214. 7:09also support casting speed, penetration,
215. 7:11and mana efficiency where available. On
216. 7:13accessories, just look for critical
217. 7:15damage and offensive bonuses. that
218. 7:17strengthen your spells and then as your
219. 7:19casting speed improves, reassess your
220. 7:21specialties. If a spell already feels
221. 7:23fast enough, then reducing its mana cost
222. 7:25can help your sustain your rotation.
223. 7:27Just remember to always make equipment
224. 7:29and skill choices work together as your
225. 7:31build develops. Next up for arcana, you
226. 7:34want to focus on additional levels for
227. 7:35the rob of the flame and the important
228. 7:37skills that is jing your rotation. Use
229. 7:39those bonuses to help to reach your next
230. 7:41useful specialty upgrade. also work
231. 7:44towards level 20 on the flame arrow
232. 7:45blaze and the wish of the concentration.
233. 7:47In particular, vish of concentration can
234. 7:50include its combat speed option
235. 7:51alongside the attack and the cooldown
236. 7:53upgrades. You want to choose bonuses
237. 7:55that improve spells that you actually
238. 7:56use and just keep checking how these
239. 7:58extra levels will affect your rotation.
240. 8:01Then for the venion board, you want to
241. 8:02start with the combat speed lines
242. 8:04followed by attack and the damage boost.
243. 8:06You'll want to complete the important
244. 8:07cooldown reduction paths and then just
245. 8:09develop critical damage and the
246. 8:10accuracy. After these priorities, you
247. 8:12want to target individual skill nodes.
248. 8:14Blue nodes will improve active skills,
249. 8:16while the green nodes will improve
250. 8:17passives. The Hellfire, Robbo of Flame,
251. 8:20and your mana related critical hit
252. 8:21passives are also useful targets for
253. 8:23this setup. Just keep general multi-hit
254. 8:25branches below those main priorities.
255. 8:27Our focus here is stronger casts, useful
256. 8:29cooldowns, and the skill bonuses that
257. 8:31support them. On top of it, always
258. 8:34remember that regional quest and sugar
259. 8:36festival rewards will provide more
260. 8:37progression resources.
