AION 2 Sorcerer Macro: Best PvE & PvP Macro, Three Chains and Hellfire

What is the best Sorcerer macro in AION 2?

shr1kn’s three chains, the macro most Sorcerers already use. They come from shr1kn’s leveling build, the most-liked Sorcerer skill build on questlog.gg (128 likes on 26 October), and 268 of the 594 public Global Sorcerer builds with a macro (45%) use exactly those three chains. In the order of the macro:

Each chain on its own is in 64–66% of public Sorcerer macros, so even players who change one chain usually keep the other two. shr1kn plays it by holding Flame Arrow on one mouse button and the macro on the other, keeping both pressed so they fill each other’s animation gaps. How chains and the macro key work for every class is in our AION 2 macro guide.

How do the three chains work together?

The first chain buffs, the second sets up, the third pays off.

• Element Enhancement leads its chain. A chain casts the first skill in it that is ready, so the buff comes back on before the three damage stigmas every time it is off cooldown. 458 of the 471 Sorcerer macros with Element Enhancement put it first. aLuckyRO goes further and enters it three times so the macro never skips it.
• The second chain marks the target. Frost inflicts Frost (50% of the time on players, always on monsters), and every Fire hit, from Firestorm to Fire Wall to your Flame Arrow, applies Fire Mark for 5 seconds through the Fire Mark passive.
• The third chain spends the marks. In the client data, Blaze hits only a target with Fire Mark and Frost Burst only a target with Frost. Blaze also restores 100 MP. 93% of builds take Frost’s option that resets Frost Burst’s cooldown whenever Frost lands, so Frost Burst is usually ready when its mark is.

Two specializations make the second chain matter even with Hellfire out of the macro. Winter’s Shackles’ option that adds +20% PvE damage for 5 seconds is taken by 95% of builds, and Firestorm’s option that cuts 2 seconds off Hellfire’s cooldown per fireball by 94%. So the macro raises your damage and brings Hellfire back sooner while you charge it by hand.

How do the top Sorcerer macros compare?

The most-liked Sorcerer macros on questlog.gg, with likes checked on 2026-10-26:

shr1kn keeps the same three chains in every PvE build. From the Mid Game PvE build (1,800 gear score) he adds Ice Chain as a fourth step, and the preset for stagger-heavy bosses (Nightmare, Transcendence, Ludra) shortens the first chain to Element Enhancement → Delayed Explosion, with Steel Barrier and Divine Burst on the bar in place of Fire Wall and Cold Storm.

What should you keep out of the Sorcerer macro?

Hellfire, Flame Scattershot, Wish of Concentration, and usually Flame Arrow and Ice Chain. Among Sorcerer builds with a macro that have each skill on their skill bar, these are the shares that leave it out:

Hellfire is the big one. EUTOPIA measured about 15,000–16,000 damage per second with a macro-cast Hellfire against about 22,000 with full charges, and totalizor1’s build note says the same: put it on its own key and always charge it fully. shr1kn casts the first maximum-charge Hellfire right after Delayed Explosion, so it lands while the target takes 15% more damage from you, then uses it whenever it is ready.

Wish of Concentration depends on its level. shr1kn casts it before starting the macro while it is an Attack and Combat Speed buff. Once its level 16 option cuts all remaining cooldowns by 10 seconds (60% of builds have it), shr1kn casts Hellfire first and Wish right after, so the cut lands on Hellfire. The full opener is in the Sorcerer PvE build.

When should Ice Chain go in the macro?

Late in the game, or against players. Ice Chain is in 39% of public Sorcerer macros, up from 27% on 14 October. jblah and narsu both write that they use it only for packs of monsters, and jblah leaves it off for bosses. shr1kn adds it from the Mid Game PvE build (1,800–2,600 gear score), at level 12 with the option that cuts 1 second off Winter’s Shackles’ cooldown per hit, the skill whose option gives +20% PvE damage. 147 of the 231 macros with Ice Chain take that option.

What is the best Sorcerer PvP macro?

shr1kn’s four steps: Winter’s Shackles; Bittercold Wind → Soul Freeze → Frost → Firestorm; Frost Burst → Blaze; and Ice Chain. 55 of the 74 public Sorcerer builds named for PvP with a macro use them; 18 of those also stack Glacial Smite behind Winter’s Shackles. All 74 include Ice Chain, 57 include Soul Freeze, and only 2 include Hellfire.

Compared with the PvE macro, the stigma chain is gone and Winter’s Shackles is a step of its own. Its place in the Bittercold Wind chain goes to Soul Freeze, a stigma with a 75% chance to Seal for 5 seconds, and Frost Burst comes before Blaze. shr1kn’s PvP notes cover the rest by hand:

• Charge Hellfire fully and release it only when the enemy is stunned, sealed, rooted, locked in an animation or otherwise unable to escape. Avoid charging while exposed.
• Use Steel Barrier about 2 seconds before you engage, so the shield is already up.
• Save Arctic Armor for when your HP drops to about 50% or a burst is coming, and Hibernation for critical HP, below about 20%.

What delay should a Sorcerer macro use?

10 ms. 511 of the 594 Sorcerer builds with a macro set a delay (86%), more than any other class, because so many copy shr1kn’s macro with its 10, 10 and 11 ms delays: 258 builds use exactly that pattern. aLuckyRO raises it to 50 ms at a ping of 80 or higher. The AION 2 macro guide covers delays for every class.
