Class Summary
The Spiritmaster is the debuff specialist and the only class that utilizes pets in Aion. Spiritmasters use their powerful summons to damage and keep enemies at bay while they themselves inflict massive damage through the use of their damage over time skills. The Spiritmaster is considered to be a secondary dps and secondary CC class.

Play Style
The Spiritmaster is the main debuffing class in Aion in that most of the skills in a Spiritmaster's repertoire consist of debuffs in the form of damage over time skills. To offset this lack of direct damage, Spiritmasters also have the ability to summon and command many different elemental entities that can fill a variety of roles to match any situation. But while their many different damage over time skills can be combined with their summons to inflict considerable damage, what makes this class truly unique lies in their ability to remove buffs from their enemies and their ability to cast fear status on their targets. A Spiritmaster's buff removal abilities can make any battle much easier, in both PvE and PvP situations, which becomes clear very quickly as they can remove buffs that shield their target or remove buffs that make their target much stronger. While all this makes a Spiritmaster a worthy addition to any party, a Spiritmaster's most feared and well known ability is, appropriately enough, their ability to cast fear on their targets. The Spiritmaster is the only class in Aion that can cast an unbreakable fear status on an enemy target. As such, with proper positioning, a Spiritmaster can keep a target feared continually while their summons, damage over time spells, and party members can quickly dispatch the enemy while taking no damage whatsoever. For armaments, Spiritmasters, like Sorcerers, are limited to choosing either a tome or an orb to wield while on the battlefield. While orbs provide more magic boost, increasing magical damage done, tomes provide a higher degree of magical accuracy, which reduces the chance that a spell will be resisted by the target. While many Spiritmasters start off the game with an orb and switch to a tome in the late game, both weapons are viable at all levels and is generally left to user preference.
