Sorcerer skills and Daevanion in AION 2
Updated 2026-10-09 · checked against Global launch (client 2.0.5.0)
The Sorcerer casts from a spellbook in two elements. Fire is the damage — Blaze, Firestorm, Hellfire, Flame Arrow — and frost is the control — Frost, Ice Chain, Winter’s Shackles. Three of its passives are robes: Robe of Flame, Robe of Cold and Robe of Earth.
In a group it is ranged magic damage in fire and frost.
Skills on the Daevanion boards
Every class has twelve active and ten passive skills on its four skill boards, and the boards add four levels to each of them. The pattern is the same for every class:
- an active skill has one node on each of the four boards;
- a passive skill has two nodes on Nezekan or Zikel, then one each on Vaizel and Triniel.
The table shows where each node sits and the points it takes to reach it from the board’s centre. Points are the cheapest path on that board, which is why skills sharing a corridor cost less together than the column adds up to.
Each skill name opens its own page. To try a path across the boards, use the Daevanion planner.

Azphel, the fifth board, has no skill nodes; it is the same PvP board for every class (see Classes).
Raising skills with gear
Daevanion is not the only route. Gear can carry random skill levels through soul binding: weapons and rings roll active skills, while earrings, necklaces and armour roll passives. The number of lines rises with the item’s grade. Arcana adds the rest — see Gear.
Starter builds
Where to spend the Sorcerer’s skill points and board points for DPS, tanky, balanced or PvP play, level by level: Sorcerer starter builds. Rough starting points, not a meta build.
Stigma skills
Besides its board skills, every class has thirteen stigma skills. They level on their own track, with Stigma Shard Points instead of skill points, from 1 to 20 — the Daevanion boards, gear and Arcana never raise them. A character can have one set from level 22, and more slots open up to four by level 37. Each name opens the skill’s page with its description and the cost of every level.
