MMORPG.com Aion Correspondent Arturs Keiss writes this look at the Sorcerer class in NCsoft's newly launched MMO.

The Sorcerer class follows a very natural path of progression from the mage archetype. Rather than being saddled with the same old spells and a spiffy new pet like the Spiritmaster, you can now focus all of your efforts into bending the weave of the universe to your will. The destruction you were able to wreak as a mere mortal mage doesn't remotely compare to the hell you'll learn to unleash upon your foes as an immortal Sorcerer.

Strengths

Extremely high DPS (ranged)
Multiple "Get out of jail free" abilities
Less gear dependent than other archetypes

Weaknesses

Very slow auto attack
Slow mana regeneration
Weak armor
