AION 2 Spiritmaster Macro: Best PvE & PvP Macro, Spirit Chains and Cold Shock

What is the best Spiritmaster macro in AION 2?

One of two setups, init.rb’s or Grobs’. Of the 400 public Global Spiritmaster builds with a macro:

Most Spiritmaster macros are two or three steps: 352 of the 400 (88%). How chains and the macro key work for every class is in our AION 2 macro guide. Here is what the macro skills do in the client data:

Two of those skills wait on your spirits. Elemental Fusion needs Four Elements and Dimensional Control needs a spirit skill, so in a chain they fire the moment they become available and are skipped the rest of the time.

How do the two setups differ?

Where the spirits and Cold Shock go. init.rb’s leveling builds run only two steps, Cold Shock and the Curse chain, and leave the spirits to you. The level 45 and PvE builds add a third step for the spirits; “SM PVE build Variant 1” puts Corrode inside it, Water Spirit → Corrode → Earth Spirit → Fire Spirit, a chain in 21% of Spiritmaster macros.

Grobs builds it the other way round. Elemental Fusion leads the spirit chain, so it fires the moment Four Elements is ready and the summons fill the rest of that step, and the damage chain starts with Corrode. Cold Shock stays off the macro. The leveling build summons Earth, Water and Fire. The level 45 build, updated on 24 October, now runs Elemental Fusion → Earth Spirit → Wind Spirit twice, moves the Water and Fire Spirits into the Corrode chain (Water Spirit → Corrode → Jointstrike: Curse → Fire Spirit) and gives Dimensional Control → Combustion a step of its own; it also takes the Wind Spirit to 20. aLuckyRO also ends the spirit chain on the Fire Spirit, the one that attacks fastest, and repeats it because a summon sometimes misses.

Why is Cold Shock in the macro?

For the MP, and because of the targeting mode. Cold Shock is the Spiritmaster’s basic attack and restores 100 MP per hit. 246 of the 400 Spiritmaster macros (62%) include it as a step of its own, the highest share of any class’s basic attack: the other classes keep theirs in the macro in 1–15% of builds.

aLuckyRO gives the reason. In the action combat mode, Cold Shock in the macro keeps your MP coming back; in the original AION targeting mode, your character fires it between skills on its own once your attack speed is high. The players who keep it out hold it on left click instead: kraybex uses it there as an auto-attack to cancel animations, and dKingHD’s note is to hold left click with the macro.

Should Elemental Fusion go in the macro?

Usually yes; the charged version no. Elemental Fusion is in 387 of the 400 Spiritmaster macros. Because it can only be cast with Four Elements, the macro fires it as soon as you have them, and 55% of builds take its level 16 option with a 25% chance to regain Four Elements after the cast. 86% take +10 to all Element Boost on hit (level 8).

The exception is the level 12 option that turns it into a charge skill dealing up to 200% more damage. A macro releases a charge skill at once, so aLuckyRO keeps that option and casts Elemental Fusion by hand; in aLuckyRO’s test, removing the charge dropped a hit from about 21,000 damage to 7,000. Only 36 public builds take the charge option, and 35 of them still put Elemental Fusion in the macro. Grobs’ level 45 build and Tsuruf skip it and leave Fusion in the macro, as described in the Spiritmaster PvE build.

What should you keep out of the Spiritmaster macro?

Your Ancient Spirit, your buffs and your control. Among Spiritmaster builds with a macro that have each skill on their skill bar, these are the shares that leave it out:

The opener is where the Ancient Spirit and the buffs come in. kraybex presses the Fire Spirit summon before the fight with no target locked, so it does not attack early, and calls up the Ancient Spirit just before the tank pulls, then holds left click and the macro, because the macro skills deal bonus damage with both spirits out. battlelitany’s order is the same: buffs, two elemental spirits, the Ancient Spirit, then the macro, reapplying buffs and the Ancient Spirit as needed. Corrode is the one stigma most players do put in the macro: 216 of the 325 builds with it on the skill bar (66%).

What is the best Spiritmaster PvP macro?

Most PvP builds keep init.rb’s two steps. 22 of the 26 public Spiritmaster builds named for PvP have a macro, and init.rb’s “SM PVP variant” uses the same two steps as the leveling builds: Cold Shock, and Jointstrike: Curse → Elemental Fusion → Dimensional Control → Combustion. 13 other public PvP builds copy it exactly.

_tinto’s Abyss relic PvP build takes the opposite view: the macro holds only Elemental Fusion and the Earth Spirit, at 10 ms, and only when Four Elements is ready and the target is in range. Curse, Defiance, Soul’s Cry, Seize Magic, Cold Shock, Combustion and the stigmas are all timed by hand; the build is made for control and peeling in relic fights.

What delay should a Spiritmaster macro use?

10 ms, or more on a slow connection. 88 of the 400 Spiritmaster builds with a macro set a delay on at least one step, and 176 of those 189 steps use 10 ms. aLuckyRO uses 10 ms at a ping under 50 and 50 ms at 80–100, and Hemi also runs 50 ms. The AION 2 macro guide covers delays for every class.
