Aion 2 Sorcerer Daevanion guide: nodes to take first
NCSOFT / AION 2 official Steam screenshots
TL;DR
- Take the offensive orange nodes first: Combat Speed and Cooldown Reduction on Nezekan, Damage Boost on Zikel and Critical Damage Boost on Vaizel.
- Skip the Multi-Hit nodes on Triniel. aLuckyRO says Sorcerer does not need them.
- Then take skill nodes. Hellfire has a node on every board. aLuckyRO also points to Robe of Earth, and calls Robe of Flame mandatory in his skill section.
- Leave defensive orange nodes for later.
How the boards work for Sorcerer
Sorcerer has five Daevanion boards:
| Board | Unlocks at level | Crystals | Orange nodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nezekan | 12 | Daevanion | 2 Combat Speed, 2 Cooldown Reduction |
| Zikel | 20 | Daevanion | 2 Damage Boost, 2 Damage Tolerance |
| Vaizel | 30 | Daevanion | 2 Critical Damage Boost, 2 Critical Damage Tolerance |
| Triniel | 40 | Daevanion | 3 Multi-Hit Chance, 3 Multi-Hit Resist |
| Azphel | 45 | Battle | PvP stats |
| Node colour | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Orange | Big stat node | 4 |
| Blue | +1 rank to an active skill | 3 |
| Green | Raises a passive skill | 2 |
| White | Small stat | 1 |
Every one of the first four boards has a node for each of Sorcerer's twelve base active skills. Some skills use a different name on the boards:
| Skill | Name on the boards |
|---|---|
| Blaze | Flame Explosion |
| Robe of Earth | Earth Robe |
| Robe of Flame | Flame Robe |
Anders says Sorcerer leans heavily on Combat Speed and Cooldown Reduction, and those are the first nodes aLuckyRO takes. His order, which the numbered nodes below follow:
- Nezekan Combat Speed, with the Attack nodes on the way, while you are still leveling.
- Zikel Damage Boost.
- Nezekan Cooldown Reduction.
- Vaizel Critical Damage Boost.
- Skill nodes your build uses. Triniel's Multi-Hit nodes are skipped.
- The remaining orange nodes and the white Attack nodes.
The planner finds the path between them for you. Open any board in the Daevanion planner to plan a route within your crystal budget.
Nezekan: Combat Speed, then Cooldown Reduction
Creator tip
You need to finish your Nezekan cooldown reduction since you have crazy amount of the cooldown reduction on your sorcerer.
- 1Combat Speed +1.5% · 4 points · level 12
- 2Combat Speed +1.5% · 4 points · level 12
- 3Cooldown Reduction +1.5% · 4 points · level 12
- 4Cooldown Reduction +1.5% · 4 points · level 12
- 5Hellfire +1 skill level · 3 points · level 12
- 6Robe of Earth +1 skill level · 2 points · level 12
- 7Robe of Earth +1 skill level · 2 points · level 12
- 8Robe of Flame +1 skill level · 2 points · level 12
- 9Robe of Flame +1 skill level · 2 points · level 12
Zikel: Damage Boost
aLuckyRO calls the Damage Boost nodes the most important on the board for Sorcerer.
- 1Damage Boost +1.5% · 4 points · level 20
- 2Damage Boost +1.5% · 4 points · level 20
- 3Hellfire +1 skill level · 3 points · level 20
Vaizel: Critical Damage Boost
Critical Damage Tolerance is a defensive stat and can wait.
- 1Critical Damage Boost +1.5% · 4 points · level 30
- 2Critical Damage Boost +1.5% · 4 points · level 30
- 3Hellfire +1 skill level · 3 points · level 30
- 4Robe of Earth +1 skill level · 2 points · level 30
- 5Robe of Flame +1 skill level · 2 points · level 30
Triniel: skip Multi-Hit
aLuckyRO does not take the Multi-Hit nodes for Sorcerer, even after the other boards are done.
Creator tip
You don't need a multi-hit chance and multi-hit resist as the sorcerer.
Instead, use Triniel for skill nodes. Hellfire, Robe of Earth and Robe of Flame all have one here.
- 1Hellfire +1 skill level · 3 points · level 40
- 2Robe of Earth +1 skill level · 2 points · level 40
- 3Robe of Flame +1 skill level · 2 points · level 40
After the priority nodes
For the skill nodes, aLuckyRO names Robe of Earth and Hellfire as examples. Robe of Flame, the passive he calls mandatory, belongs on that list too.
