AION 2 Spiritmaster Build Guide (Global): Spirits, Stigmas & All Skills

What is the best Spiritmaster build in AION 2?

The standard Spiritmaster build is a summoner that keeps three spirits out and spends the elements they generate on Elemental Fusion. Its stigmas are Enhance: Spirit’s Benediction, Summon: Ancient Spirit and Jointstrike: Corrode, plus Flame Blessing or Jointstrike: Destructive Attack: the most common stigmas on the skill bar in public Spiritmaster builds on questlog.gg. aLuckyRO, Grobs and init.rb, the author of the most-liked Spiritmaster builds on the site, all start from that core.

Each part of the build has its own guide:

How does the Spiritmaster deal damage?

Through its spirits, and through the skills that trigger when they act. The client data shows how the pieces connect:

1. Your spirits fight beside you with basic attacks, and each attack that lands has a chance to make the spirit use its skill: 15% for the Fire and Water Spirits, 10% for the Earth and Wind Spirits.
2. Elemental Fusion is fed by those skills. Each spirit skill gives you an element, and at four you enter Four Elements, which lets you cast Elemental Fusion once. aLuckyRO calls it your highest-damage skill.
3. Summon: Ancient Spirit, a stigma, summons a fifth spirit for 30 seconds. It grants Four Elements outright each time it uses its skill, and it reuses the skill after every 7 basic attacks (5 from stigma level 15). aLuckyRO shows it opening with the skill as it appears, so Elemental Fusion is ready at once.
4. Dimensional Control can be cast for a moment each time a spirit uses its skill. It hits up to four enemies, slows them and restores 100 MP.
5. Jointstrike skills make your spirit join the attack with its own hit, which depends on which spirit is out. Jointstrike: Curse is an active skill; Corrode and Destructive Attack are stigmas.

Two stigmas raise everything at once. Enhance: Spirit’s Benediction gives you and your spirit +20% PvE Damage Boost and +20% PvE Damage Tolerance for 10 seconds, and Jointstrike: Corrode makes the target take 10% more damage from your spirits for 20 seconds. How the creators order them is in the Spiritmaster PvE build.

Which spirits should a Spiritmaster summon?

Fire, Water and Earth, and Wind while you level. Each spirit has its own job, and every one of them feeds Elemental Fusion:

aLuckyRO keeps the Water Spirit out for MP: without it, he says, you have serious mana problems early on. He uses the Earth Spirit to tank bosses, because the boss turns to it and leaves you alone. The Wind Spirit is the one the creators drop. While your attack speed is low, aLuckyRO summons all four, because each spirit uses its skill as it appears, so four summons guarantee an Elemental Fusion. Once the other three use skills often enough on their own, he removes it from the bar; Hemi leaves it out of his macros because it does not fit.

Which stigmas do Spiritmasters slot most?

Three stigmas are on almost every skill bar, and the fourth slot is split. These shares count only the stigmas placed on the skill bar, as on every class page here. On 2026-10-11, 193 of the 361 public Spiritmaster skill builds on questlog.gg had at least one stigma on the bar, and 141 of them had exactly four:

On Global you equip four. aLuckyRO treats Siphon, Seize Magic, Kaisinel’s Power, Magic Block and Cry of Terror as PvP stigmas and dismisses Assault Terror as a skill for melee classes; init.rb’s PvP build is the one that uses Command: Proxy. aLuckyRO rates Cursed Cloud as good in PvE too, but only from the middle of the game.

Which active skills appear in most Spiritmaster builds?

Eight of the twelve actives are on the skill bar in more than 95% of those builds:

Defiance looks rare only because it is bound to its own key rather than the skill bar. Rapid Scattershot works only on a staggered target, so aLuckyRO keeps it for bosses. He calls Soul’s Cry, a Fear skill, useless in PvE.

What does every Spiritmaster skill do?

The Spiritmaster has 35 skills: 12 actives, 13 stigmas and 10 passives. The descriptions below summarize the Global client data. Damage numbers are left out because they scale with skill level, and specializations change several of these effects.

Is the Spiritmaster hard to play?

Not by AION 2’s standards; staying alive is the harder part. aLuckyRO calls it the simplest and easiest class in the game, much easier than the Spiritmaster of the original AION, and says its macro is a kids’ toy next to the Chanter’s. OneTimeACraft sums up his rotation as two self-buffs, the Ancient Spirit, Elemental Fusion whenever you can cast it, and holding right click for the rest. Hemi runs almost everything through two macro lines and casts his buffs by hand.

The weakness is defence. aLuckyRO warns that the Spiritmaster is an extremely weak class: in PvP you die if someone reaches you, and bosses hit you hard even during the main story quest. The spirits soften that, and the Earth Spirit in particular, since enemies turn to it instead of you.
