Aion 2 Sorcerer: role and playstyle
“A harbinger of ruin who devours all with a storm of arcane power”
Sorcerer is the spellbook burst caster. NC describes a harbinger of ruin with a storm of arcane power, and the client kit matches: 19 of its skills reach 20 m and 11 hit more than one target. The class description warns of lower HP and Defense, and Sorcerer is one of two classes with no Max HP passive.
