AION 2 Spiritmaster Build: PvE Summoner Skills, Gear and Stats

The Spiritmaster is AION 2's summoner — elemental spirits tank and deal damage while you layer curses and DoTs. It's the safest solo class at launch and markedly more popular on global servers than in KR/TW. Class basics: Spiritmaster overview. Rankings: class tier list.

Build Summary

• Role: summoner / DoT magic DPS
• Stat focus: Attack with Status Effect Chance for your curse/DoT kit
• Weapon: Orb (reference build: Aulamus Orb — the source notes pushing it to +15 early)
• Armor: reference build uses the Vakron set

Recommended Skills

The build's skill set (12 slots):

Skill	Note
Cold Shock	Damage
Summon: Fire Spirit	Spirit summon
Jointstrike: Curse	DoT/curse
Summon: Earth Spirit	Spirit summon
Dimensional Control	Control
Elemental Fusion	Passive: you receive an element each time a spirit uses its skill — the engine of the class
Combustion	DoT payoff
Summon: Water Spirit	Spirit summon
Soul's Cry	Damage
Summon: Wind Spirit	Spirit summon
Rapid Scattershot	Damage
Defiance	CC-break cleanse

Playstyle Notes

• Your spirits are your party: keep a summon up at all times and let it hold enemy attention while you stack DoTs from safety.
• Rotate spirits to feed Elemental Fusion — each spirit skill grants you its element, so spirit uptime directly scales your own output.
• Debuffs and DoTs define the class; Status Effect Chance substats make your whole kit land more reliably.

Gear Priorities

1. Orb first; the reference build explicitly advises pushing the weapon to +15 early.
2. Attack plus Status Effect Chance substats.
3. Orbs come from Alchemy — pair the class with Alchemy if you craft your own gear.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths: the safest solo experience at launch (pets tank for you), strong sustained DoT pressure, valuable party debuffs, excellent in group PvP/Abyss.

Weaknesses: damage is indirect and ramping rather than bursty, and managing four spirits plus DoT tracking is the busiest kit among the mage classes.
