guys i want to ask

helo...im pretty new in sorcerer class...so i wanna ask the best weapon for sorc is it tome or orb and why??...i got enough credit to buy HAC tome or orb but im confused which 1 to buy..so i hope u guys can give me some suggestion ty

 

I would suggest jewel for the sorcerer and to socket macc/mb dual manastones, tome is better for spiritmaster. But that's just my opinion.

 

I'd suggest you to get a tome. tomes have got much more magical accuracy then orbs, and you can easly balance the mb loss with some dual stat manastones (ma/mb). also, there is no point to get a lot of magic boost, since there is a cap.
You should go for Hac tome + Padmarashka/Sematariux/Tatar/Yamenne's tome as fuse (attak speed increases your animation speed, you wont need to get wocl2, wocl1 is fine as well)

 

Jewel for dmg but less ma, Tome for abit less dmg but more MA.

 

thanks 4 the suggestion...

 

I second this. I have both tome and orb that's why I never had such problem but if I were to choose, I'll always choose tome. Aside of the things posted above, tome's auto attack range is farther than orb which is essential on removing buffs from Scouts that instantly resists magical skills (better removing such buffs with auto attack than start using important skills then just get resisted).

But good thing about Orb?? You get lots of additional Mana which is very important for Mages (of course other than high MB).

 

to those who said tome for the m,acc

Hey guys

we have " dual-manastones "

 

Tome definetely. Jewel has more dmg but that damage doesn't imply if your target resists.

Spiritmaster 100% tome, but if you look around and check good sorcs, you will see everyone uses a tome. Go for HAC if you have the credit and fuse it with Yammenese, the other fuses are also good but really rare and hard to get, yamme is pretty easy and will do the trick. Good luck with sorc, enjoy it and have fun

 

on my sm I use book and in my sorcer orb in the sorcer I hit often like 7 to 10k in some skill (no dp skill).. with orb I have like 3600 of mb and like 2300 of mag acc.. soo I rarely fail a skill XD.... and hit like hell

 

there are also new level 60 tomes/orbs with 6 slots with 19% attack speed and more Ma/Mb then the padma/sema and other 55 ones and much cheaper, can get in broker for 200-500m kinah as for sema/padma are close to 3k credits you will have to be pretty wealthy to fuse sema or padma under your wep most people use them as remos and woc2 stacks good with a 19% attack fuse.

 

While I will agree with tomes as being 'better' overall.

There is no cap on Magic Boost....

 

Yup. It was removed when Magic Suppression was introduced to Aion I believe.

@ Topic: I always preferred Orb. A bit less Macc, more damage.

 

running with orb in hands look fken gay...and about mac/mb balance u can fix it with dual manstones easy...so same deal if is orb or tome. but the thing is like other guy said before...tome got more range hit on auto attack i ve tested orb ago and i ve seen that the range of it is less than tome one. and let s dont say ... u look like an smart azz with a book on hands

 

I gotta say that orb is really underrated and this comes from a guy with and HAC tome and an AC orb...
while tome does give you more MA the difference is not that big and can easily be fixed with the duo manastones but the +2k mp that an orb will give you cant be gained by tome users. also the auto attack of the tome is nice but it does take a moment to land and to remove the buff so usually i just use flame cage and other instant and low cd skills.
and another really important point is just that for male chars orb looks so much better than tome. while theres absolutely no problem with an orb which just stays on your arm the tome is glitchy and you will see the tome pass through your hand or body all the time which is just annoying and also as a male you cant use the ninja motion cuz the fighting stance looks downright retarded (srsly no idea what ncsoft were thinking when they made it).
a nice thing you can do though (like me) is to have both orb and tome and equip the tome with lots of MA and a silence gs for fighting spellcasters and equipping the orb with blind and lots of MB for the melee classes.
