AION: The Tower of Eternity is still under development by NCsoft, and any information related to the game is subject to change with the release of more information.

Class Summary

Of all the character classes available to play as in Aion: The Tower of Eternity, NCsoft???s amazing new online RPG, the mysterious Spiritmaster is one of the most intriguing. Using powerful magics derived from the forces of nature, Spiritmasters will find themselves an integral part of any adventuring party due to their ability to summon and control fierce creatures based on the four cardinal elements of Earth, Fire, Wind and Water.

The Spiritmaster???s chief responsibility is to summon and control elemental spirits, powerful forms of nature incarnate. This is done through a series of specific commands, such as attack and defend, that can be given via a simple on-screen control system. Other, more specialized and yet to be revealed commands exist beyond these basic controls, with each form of elemental spirit having its own unique skills and abilities.

The challenge for the Spiritmaster comes from recognizing which element to call on at any given time. Earth spirits are strong in defense abilities, Fire spirits specialize in melee attacks, Water spirits concentrate on healing powers while Wind spirits are best utilized in melee attacks. While it???s not possible to control different types of elemental spirits at the same time ??? Spiritmaster???s cannot control both an Earth and Water spirit simultaneously, for instance ??? by summoning the correct spirit for the situation in hand, Spiritmasters have the power to turn even the most desperate battles into a complete rout of the enemy. A situation that could prove immensely useful when adventurers come up against some of the more powerful rogue elemental spirits that wander Aion???s immense and incredibly detailed game world.

Play Style

A true commander of the elements will know how to engage in combat, practice magic, and choose the perfect moment in a given situation to summon spirits.

Weapons

The Spiritmaster is assumed to use Orbs and Staffs like the Wizards, but they will be more geared towards the power of their summons. Their main weapon will be the strength of their summoned elementals.

Summons

The main weapon of the Spiritmaster will be their summons. Each summon is tied to one of the four elements and each has its own special abilities. You can only have one of the elements out at a time, so the summon you pick will be vital to what situation you are presented with. The majority of skills will include, but not be limited to, buffing and healing the summoned pet. The spiritmaster's arsenal also includes abilities which fear, root, deal direct damage, and deal damage over time to their enemies.

The summoned classes are:

• Fire Elemental- Melee Offensive
• Water Elemental - Healing Type
• Wind Elemental - Magical Offensive
• Earth Elemental - Tanking Type
