Your Video reminds me back to the Start. Nice to see that Spiritmaster is your liking and even guides will be made these days. I loved that class from the beginning, because of the cool looking Pets. Even it was not that easy to learn and master. For the key bindings I would also suggest to use a MMO mouse, so you have all buttons in a line at your thumb and only need 4 keys on keyboard as a combo to "select" the line. But everyone as he is used to it ;)

Thanks for this :D

[@sandroblochlinger2421]

"böff" "deböff" 😂😂 good vid

[@mydisabilityjobs9192]

Nice video i watched it again and againt. Could you please: link to your skills, for example i see your skill "Y" on your screen but i cannot tell which one is it. Also, would you be so kind to provide like 3 different stigma build 1 for pve 1 for pvp 1 that could fit both pve and pve (for the cheap casual like me :D)

[@majak461]

Hey nice video. I would like to see a tutorial on how to play in RvR

[@Dorumir]

I might show a session, but still laggy and bad FPS, the video wouldnt be worth watching imo

[@eruugor9633]

What about the small stigma? what should i use?

[@Nyarr]

What about weapon pvp ? Lannok for attack speed and pvp below? It's big diffrence to got att speed on pvp weapon at SM ?

[@Dorumir]

I would say that attack speed is really great to have but not mandatory, lannok doesn't have the best stat by far, so I would fuse the lannok with attack speed, bellow a good other weapon, like 50e pvp, tahabata or even anuhart

[@mihai-catalinsalavastru2545]

Is spelbook good in PvE or wait for an Orb? I already have Lannok's Tome but don't know if it's worth it for PvE or not. And I also don't know whether to combine it with steel rake speelbook or wait.

[@Dorumir]

I actually prefer a spellbook, I feel like you have more stats with it, and would need to socket too much accuracy with an orb. I would suggest double lannok, att speek and incant speed :)

[@mihai-catalinsalavastru2545]

@@Dorumir Got it, thanks for the advice! :)

[@kkarlz]

i use orb for pve cuz pf the increased mboost and crit spell and tome for pvp, has less mboost but alot more magic accuracy. if i had to only choose one i’d go with tome tho. all of this with both lannok/tritoan atk speed + cast speed fuse.

[@umiterz930]

Do I use tome or orb as a spiritmaster?

[@Dorumir]

Depends on the content, orb for pve to optimize damage with magic boost, in PvP tome with a bit of magic acc to have low to no resist

[@Vicky.]

have you got sm macros for DMG?

[@Dorumir]

No everything is separately keybinded

[@emildir]

which pet do you use in PVE?

[@Dorumir]

mostly Fire spirit, water spirit when the boss deals to much aoe damage, magma on intense encounter; earth spirit if you are solo and need it to tank, wind spirit for pvp (speed + stun)

[@piotreq17]

Opener section should be explained against each class.

[@marcelb.1859]

Ranger Guide pls 😂

[@SentinelFury]

Nice guide but pointless since the class is so retardedly broken. You could unironically code a bot SM to PvP and it would still easily win most 1v1s

[@Dorumir]

The toolkit of SM is indeed really strong on paper. But try playing one competitively, in duel you could get burst down by half classes in a few seconds, and in group you juste have time to dispel/fear before dying.

[@Delian0]

As an expert SM I gotta say..... this guy has no clue about what he's talking about. Keybinds: You can tell by his keybinds that he's a total noob. Fear or 1? Fear Shriek on 2? Yeah, those are keybinds of an SM that never did solo PvP in his life. The easiest to reach buttons should be for most important and most commonly used skills. If Fear is your most commonly used skill, then yeah, you're a noob. Stigmas: He's also talking from his ass here and just reading skill descriptions lol. For instance, saying that the PvE tree "isn't very good for PvP" is just wrong. No. That tree should not EVER be used for PvP under any circumstance. Also, it's just bad in general. Armor Spirit does not make your spirit into a God, nor does it increase your dps much. It's only useful in some VERY SPECIFIC circumstances which of course he fails to mention. If you're new to the game, don't get the PvE tree, because in this patch Armor Spirit isn't worth its ap cost, nor it justifies the shards cost of having to swap stigmas to it every day. Unless you're some PvE hero SM. He says he swaps Cyclone of Wrath for Spirit Substitution? You should be swapping Infernal Pain tho. Cyclone is better than Infernal Pain in every way. Gear: "I would suggest you have like 8 manastone slots with magical accuracy" What the f? Just randomly slot some magic accuracy "just to be sure"? Holy shit that's the dumbest part of the whole video (almost as dumb as your cast speed tome combine). Facepalm. You will get random resists from all the mobs, no matter what your magical accuracy is. The only thing that matters is that your macc is higher than mob's magic resist. And for PvE you don't need more than 1.1k macc. For PvP 1.4k macc is minimum because you need that much to consistently fear cloths. It's like you're intentionally trying to sabotage other SM players lol. There's just so many things wrong with this "guide" that there's no way to put it all in one comment.

[@Dorumir]

Let me give you my opinion on your different points, coming from a "simple SM enjoyer" and not an "expert SM" like you. I have better access to all shortcut used with my index and not my ring finger, thats why my most used keys are FERGTY and same with alt and shift, how can you judge keybinds? Stigmas : your so called "pve tree", isnt pve but pet tree and can be used in pvp, having armor spirit can be combined with all the cc's needed to pvp, and give you a faster pet to fight in flight mode, again, personnal preferences, and also the pet tree is easier to use in pve for newcomers; seeing the cost of stigma shard staying in "pet tree" for both content with minor changes is viable, not the best but viable. gear: having +/- 8 manastones in magic acc give you a very decent succes rate against geared people (not socketing Magic Res) so it's not random. with 2 parts I have 1500macc and feel confident when fighting; it's to reach a soft cap against high end base magic resist gear. (and of course a full macc set is usefull as well) I guess you had a bad day or you are the designer behind the SM to take this with so much concern, and answering with such disgust against the few that are still playing this game and trying to give some info to new players. You are free to help the community by sharing your knowledge. Do this in a kind way Mate

[@Styloz13]

how full of yourself do you have to call yourself "expert sm" lol. That being said, i am sure we all appreciate input from a an experienced player like, just leave the insults out pls 🙂 where is your SM guide "Mr. Expert"?

[@Delian0]

@@Styloz13 I posted many guides over the years on the official GF Aion forums. But that board was wiped, so gone are the guides.

[@Styloz13]

@@Delian0 easy for you to say 🙂 You might be a better SM than him, as i am sure there are many better than you. just be nice and helpfull instead of putting him down because you think he is incorrect. shame about your guides, i would love to read them.

[@MrPtimo]

@@Delian0 im looking for a good guide do u have some suggestion ?
