== Overview ==

[[Image:Sorcerer.jpeg|thumb]]

==='''AoE Magic'''===
Unlike their predecessors, sorcerers have the ability to do area of effect damage. Psychic Wave will be your most used area spell due to its major damage, large AoE, and and neutral element (you can "endow" your psychic wave via summons).
* Diamond Dust (Ice element) has an average AoE, damage, and cast time.
* Earth Grave (Earth element) has an average AoE, lower damage, and a quick cast time (has the ability to knock units out of hide/cloak).
* Varetyr Spear (Wind element) has a smaller AoE, average damage, quick cast time, and has a short cast range (damage is affected by atk / matk and requires a target unit).
The three elemental spells are heavily based on the level of their corresponding endow.
 
* Killing Cloud (Poison element) has an average AoE, damage, and cast time (requires two Red Gemstones and hits multiple times).

==='''Summons'''===

Sorcerers have the ability to summon elementals that have very powerful abilities to help the summoner. There are 3 levels for each element, each having a different summoning requirement (catalyst). A summons stats are directly based on that of the sorcerer (ie A high agi / flee sorcerer will create a summon with high flee). A summon has the elemental resistance of that elemental type (agni is 100% fire).
Summons each have the ability to change the element of Physic Wave, change the Sorcerers Elemental Resistance (100% resist of that element), and boost certain elemental spell's damage.
On top of that, each element has a speciality.
* Fire - Used mostly for its abilty to boost the Atk of the sorcerer and increase the recovery amount of Warmer (+10%).
* Water - Used mostly for its ability to boost the Matk of the sorcerer.
* Wind - Used mostly for its abilty to boost ASPD, reduce total, cast time and create a defensive barrier.
* Earth - Raises max HP and defense of the sorcerer, and can cause stun with its attacks. It is somewhat less desireable than other summons.

==='''Insignias'''===

At first, insignias can be a little confusing and hard to use, but they can be extremely powerful. Insignias require a bit of setup and coordination and also have high skill requirements.
* Insignias can be created of the 4 basic elements.
* Only one of each elemental insignia can be placed at a time (insignias do not share the same cooldown).
* Insignias are 3x3 ground enchants.
* Each cast cost 1/2/3 Point (depending on level used), which can be bought in geffen tower (200z ea).
* Points are Etc item, each having a different element corresponding to that insignia (Scarlet Point/Indigo Point/Lime Green Point/Yellow Wish Point).

Each insignia has 3 levels.
* Level 1 - Boosts the ability / hp and sp regen of that corresponding elemental summon.
* Level 2 - Changes weapons element to the insignia element (this excludes monster skills).
Any unit, friend, or monster that stands INSIDE the insignias 3x3 AoE attack will change.
For example, if you are wearing fire armor, and a monster hits you while THEY are standing in a level 2 fire insignia, you will take reduced damage (Fire attack vs Fire Armor - 1/4 damage taken).
If you have 100% immunity to that element, you will take 1 damage.
* Level 3 - Increases that players elements magic damage when THEY are standing inside the insignia and additional bonuses to that element (faster cast time, more matk, etc).

* When stacking multiple level 2 insignias on the same target, the targets attack will turn to the most recent insignia you placed on that target.

* Each insignia has the ability to boost the counter element no matter which level you use.
For example, if you use Fire Insignia at any level, any unit INSIDE the insignias 3x3 AoE will take +50% damage to water elemental attacks.
<br />
* Each insignia also has the ability to heal or damage 1% hp every 5s depending on their element. It will heal the same element and damage opposite element (see insignia links below for more info). This is VERY important to understand when dealing with mvps.
For example, fire insignia level 2 might seem like a good idea on ifrit because it will turn his attack to fire (tank will take less damage if he is wearing fire armor / fire resistance) and will also boost water attacks on him, but he will also heal for 1% hp every 5s (~70k hp a sec). This can be countered by also placing a water insignia (-1% hp every 5s).

Additional Examples
* Your tank comes back with a few more monsters than he is able to handle.
If you know what armor they are using, placing a level 2 insignia on top of the monsters will reduce the damage they take by 1/4.
 
* Precasting magic while standing in level 3 insignias.
 
* A person, with 100% water resistance, tanking an MVP (ie drake).
Water insignia level 2 on the MVP will reduces its damage considerably and increase all incomming wind attacks by +50%.

* Summons will take 1 damage if you place the corresponding level 2 insignia.

== Job Change Guide ==
A Sage needs to be 99/50 in order to job change into a Sorcerer.
A Scholar needs to be at least 99/60 in order to job change into a Sorcerer.

== Builds ==
==='''  Offensive Caster AoE'''===
* STR: 1-50 (weight limit, masq resist)
* AGI: 1-50 (ASPD animation delay for smoother, faster casts, status resists)
* VIT: 95+ (stun immunity, HP pool)
* INT: 100-120 (primary stat for damage, silence immunity, SP pool)
* DEX: 100-120 (variable cast time, small amounts of MATK)
* LUK: 1-30 (small amounts of MATK, p.dodge and other small bonuses)
The offensive AoE build strips itself of its former single target spell past and ascends to the utilization of magic that deals damage to multiple foes. INT is the primary attribute to increase this damage output. Since INT is directly in Sorcerers' spell formulae, each point in INT will increase damage more than an equivalent in MATK alone.  High amounts are key, thus the MATK one can gain through LUK or gear is inferior to equal amounts of INT. However, MATK is still included in the skill formulae so getting a small amount of LUK is still recommended, and it also provides other bonuses like perfect dodge and status resists. Sorcerer AoE spells have a very short after cast delay, but very high reuse delay. A common practice of using AoE spells in combination is key to reach high damage output. Unlike its [[Warlock]] counterpart, Sorcerers gain very little from the global cast delay effect of [[Magic Strings]], as individual skill reuse delays CANNOT be reduced. The variable cast time reduction effect of Magic Strings is definitely helpful however. 

The Sorcerer's most powerful AoE spell is [[Psychic Wave]], which is neutral element by default but can be changed into Fire, Water, Wind, or Earth property through Summons. The next tier spells are [[Diamond Dust]], [[Earth Grave]], and [[Varetyr Spear]]. Getting at least one other second tier AoE is essential for effective combos, but learning all three severely limits the other spells you can acquire. It is suggested to gain at least one Elemental Summon ally, as they can change the element of your Psychic Wave. Preferably, the Fire Spirit Agni is the best choice, due to the severe lack of fire spells. This will also increase the healing effects of Warmer, which, when used with [[Indulge]] to also recover SP, proves to be incredibly effective and can save you a ton of supplies. In addition, if you choose to use Fire Walk, that damage will also increase. Offensive Sorcerers are a good balance of offense and defense, and can achieve the 100 total VIT necessary to become immune to stun in PvP and WoE. Offensive built Sorcerers may find themselves also acting as support in many situations, including giving SP to party members and so on. It is definitely possible to build a full offensive magic DPS Sorcerer that can still provide most (if not all) of the support skills in many situations.

===''' Support/Summoner'''===
* STR: 1-100 
* AGI: 1-100 
* VIT: 95-120 
* INT: 40-90 (INT is now necessary due to it being in the cast time formula and Soul Exhale only giving half your current SP.) 
* DEX: 100-120 
* LUK: 30-100 
The Support type is going to differ from how the [[Scholar]] class was in pre-renewal. [[Soul Exhale]] now has a 3 second fixed cast time and only gives your target half of your current SP. Gone are the days that [[Champion]]s (now [[Sura]]s) can be filled instantly and quickly for fast leveling. [[Magnetic Earth]] has lost some of its usefulness as many 3rd class skills bypass it.  [[Dispell]] has also been given a large fixed cast time. Due to this and the lack of many new support skills, the niche that [[Scholar]]s used to have has been diminished. The role has not been lost! Due to the advent of status inflicting spells such as [[Diamond Dust]] and [[Arrullo]], the [[Area of Effect|AoE]] healing abilities of [[Warmer]] with no catalyst cost (especially with fire summon), and the supporting skill that can be achieved through Summon skills, the Sorcerer can be a very powerful support. [[Striking]] is a great buff to ATK classes (both physical and ranged ones). Note that a support oriented Sorcerer can still opt for the [[Area of Effect|AoE]] Sorcerer skills to provide some damage when needed, at least in the leveling phase. [[Stats]]-wise, a support Sorcerer does not necessarily differ too much from an offensive caster Sorcerer. Some players may choose to go with a complete full support build for their Sorcerers who have reached 150/50 however.

==='''Hindsight/Spell Fist'''===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 100-120 
* VIT: 50-95
* INT: 110-120
* DEX: 1-50
* LUK: 1-40 
This is similar to the Hindsight Sage/Scholar build. However a Sorcerer has a new spell available to them: Spell Fist. Since this skill affects only the first number of hits, INT and MATK become more important for the initial burst damage than ASPD. The Hindsight-Bolt (Most effective with Soul Link) is then used to finish the opponent off. This build is single target oriented and so is more of a "for fun" type of build, as leveling really requires AOE. It is definitely possible to kill lower tier MVPs with this build however.

== Achieving Instacast ==
What sets sorcerer apart from their warlock counterpart is the ability to achieve instacast, this applies to some offensive skills (like {{Skill List |skill=Psychic Wave |simple=yes}}, {{Skill List |skill=Diamond Dust |simple=yes}}) and some support skills (like {{Skill List |skill=Soul Exhale |simple=yes}})

There are 2 things that you need to have in order to achieve instacast :
* Skills (particularly  {{Skill List |skill=Call Ventus |simple=yes}} and {{Skill List |skill=Spirit Control |simple=yes}})
* Equipment (particularly stacking variable cast time reductions stuff)

====Skills====
The 2 main skills that you need to have are :
{| class="wikitable" 
|-
! Skill !! Skill Level !! Usage
|-
! {{Skill List|skill=Call Ventus}}
|style="text-align:center"|1-3
|The Ventus summon allows the sorcerer to reduce their fixed cast time by 1 sec. This is a huge boost considering most of sorcerers skills has a 1 sec fixed cast time on them, so using ventus means you can get rid of the fixed cast time part on some of your skills. Note that level 1 to 3 Ventus gives the same amount of fixed cast time reduction
|-
! {{Skill List|skill=Spirit Control}}
|style="text-align:center"|1
|In order for the summon ventus to reduce your fixed cast time, it needs to be put in passive mode, and Spirit Control level 1 puts your summoned spirit in passive mode, so dont forget to cast it before you go into a fight
|-
|}

Other skills that you can consider getting :
{| class="wikitable" 
|-
! Skill !! Skill Level !! Usage
|-
! {{Skill List|skill=Spirit Cure}}
|style="text-align:center"|1
|This skills allows you to cure your summoned spirit using your hp and sp. To achieve instacast you need Ventus alive and in passive mode, so making sure that Ventus last as long as possible is very helpful
|-

====Equipment====
Another part of achieving instacast is the equipments you're using. Stacking variable cast time reductions is a must because your fixed cast time reductions has been taken care of by Ventus, which means you need to get some equipments enchanted, particularly with the spell enchants (please refer to the [[Malangdo Enchants]], [[Fallen Angel Wing Enchants]], [[RWC Accessory Enchants]], and [[Temporal Boots Enchants]] page on how to get spell enchants). With the amount of equipments available, there are a lot of choices that you can use to reduce your variable cast time, it just amounts to whatever funds you may have and what situations you are using them for

Here are a list of equipments setups that you can use to reduce your variable cast time (note that these are just examples and not the only combinations available, you can mix and match them to suit your own needs) :
