Ragnarok Online 2 How do you place your skill on keyboard?(Sorcerer)

I'm a hybrid sorc. I wonder how you all manage to use short cut key when need to change from damage to healing?

I find myself difficult to use shift and alt, and sometimes my keyboard will lock alt and shift makes me further confused. Usually I use mouse to click for alt and shift row.

Is there any way we can put our skill on alphabet key? 

Ragnarok Online 2 Sorcerer Hybrid Guide

Since Sorcerer’s healing power can never be on par with Priest, not even against a Hybrid Priest, I think it’s sub-optimal to go Full Support (i.e. abandoning the Lightning Tree). After checking out other threads, there are 2 hybrid builds that I think most efficient to note down here.

Ragnarok Online 2 Magician/Sorcerer Skills Guide

Okay so I have decided to redo this thoroughly to analyses each skill in detail. Some skills on the lightning tree I haven’t acquired yet but they are probably not as confusing as the others and I will try to link to where you can find good explanation for them.

First of all, it’s about STATS:

Base on this calculator

There are 3 popular builds:
- Maxing Agi: 50 Agi, 28 Int, 5 Vit
- Balance Agi/Int: 41 Agi, 41 Int
- Balance Agi/Int/Vit: 33 Agi, 33 Int, 32 Vit

Each build has its own reason that justifies itself. I will explain each later. First here are some facts:
- After level up, your accuracy, critical hit chance, dodge chance, parry chance, damage reduction will be reduced. In fact, the contributing points to those chances remain, or even increase after you level up but the point requirement for each unit of those chance increases. Some people say that they also depend on the difference between your level and the mob you’re fighting against and I think it’s probably true too.
- 1 Agi increases 5 Critical point and 1 Dodge point. 1 Int increases 2 Magic Power and 1 Parry point. 1 Vit increases 5 HP.

Ragnarok Online 2 Sorcerer Full Support Guide by Menace651

Introduction - Just wanted to share my FS Sorc guide and experience with you all. I think support or healer Sorcs are just as capable (even better in some situations) at healing as a Priest. Sure Sorcs lack some of the essential skills that Priests do. Like Coloseu Heal or Blessing but they make up for it in other areas (such as DPS/BurstDamage or AOE healing). I know there is a lot of bias against Sorcs being a main healer but I have found them to be just as good as a Priest in parties. Some people will see a Sorc as a main healer and automatically be turned off. It takes a little convincing but people soon realize that Sorcs are awesome as healers. I have solo healed in parties from Sea God Temple to Ghost Ship and also in parties against world bosses like WildSpeed, Stainer and Sandial Queen. I don’t think I have struggled any less than a Priest would have, sometimes probably less because of AOE heals.

Ragnarok Online 2 Sorcerer Beginner’s Guide

Intro: So, I’ve decided to write a guide here just to help out anyone here who didn’t migrate from the SEA server or are just new to the game in general. (Warning: I’m bad at writing guides, lol) I’m only writing this guide from my experiences as a Sorcerer so far in the SEA server. If you’re curious, my Sorcerer in that server is Lv 31 with a DPS-oriented hybrid build. Not enough to cover end-game things, but enough to steer people in the right direction, no? Besides, there isn’t a Sorcerer guide here…yet. This guide also covers the Sorcerer nerf in RO2 SEA.

Ragnarok Online 2 Male Sorcerer Outfits your thoughts?

I'm now level 42 and starting to regret making a male sorcerer. After the level 30 shirt, I noticed that it started to look more and more gay/girly as I level up so I got demotivated and I don't feel like getting any more levels. Also don't feel like getting pictures of my character to brag with my friends which is sad xD 

umm.. wanna ask something.. is he wearing a costume? bcuz if its just a normal sorc's gears, I think its good..

Ragnarok Online 2 Menace's FS Sorc Guide Because Sorcs Can Heal Too! by Menace651

Introduction - Just wanted to share my FS Sorc guide and experience with you all. I think support or healer Sorcs are just as capable (even better in some situations) at healing as a Priest. Sure Sorcs lack some of the essential skills that Priests do. Like Coloseu Heal or Blessing but they make up for it in other areas (such as DPS/BurstDamage or AOE healing). I know there is a lot of bias against Sorcs being a main healer but I have found them to be just as good as a Priest in parties.

I don't think I have struggled any less than a Priest would have, sometimes probably less because of AOE heals. 

*Updated As I've mentioned above I've been running parties, RHD's and raids with my Sorc. I was able to handle Goblin Leader as a solo healer EASILY at level 50 with full Ghost Ship set(weapon+armors). I was also able to run RHD's as a solo healer quite easily with almost full RHD set. I also was able to solo Farm certain world bosses like Wandering Wolf(it takes awhile though) something a DPS Sorc of the same level and gear set would probably find impossible.

Raids, however, are a different story. In raids I find myself constantly out-DPS'd by similarily geared DPS Sorcs by about 1/2 - 2/3 the damage (90% of level 50 Sorcs are DPS). Also in 5-man RHD parties where a Priest is present I found myself somewhat handicapped since the Priest was doing all the healing and my DPS sucked. For these reasons I reset skills and invested more points into Wind Seal to switch to DPS when needed.

The plus side, of course, is that my party's/raid's survivability was greatly enhanced. My healing was on Par with Priests and I could easily help out as a backup healer when needed and help out in healing individual party members after devasting AOE attacks. My strong LoR and Deluge took a lot of pressure off the Priests. I could also rotate my Deluge with Priests' Sanc to increase party survivability. I remember 2 Raid fights where both our Priests were down and I had to take over as primary healer. Thanks to me we were able to win those fights whereas a DPS Sorc would not have been able to do the same. My raid members were pretty impressed . What it boils down to in Raids is Survivability(Full Support) or more damage(DPS). Having both Earth Seal and a decent Level Wind Seal and switching between the 2 is essential depending on the situation.IMO every raid party should have a 3rd healer or backup healer/hybrid

Ragnarok Online 2 Sorc: AGI or INT?

I just made a post to a similar question in the Priest forum earlier today.

To pull part of the info from it,

synesthetic, on 24 February 2013 - 10:03 AM, said:

each point of int only gives you 2 matk, whereas agi gives you 4 crit stat (not %). Let's math.


What are we really comparing? What do these stats add up to?

Your crit rate is supposedly calculated as follows (where "Stat Value" is your agi*4):
rate % = (Stat Value / (400 * (1.05^(character level - 1)))) * 100

So let's plugin for a Lv.50 character and rewrite that, for simplicity.
rate % = ((agi * 4) / 4368 ) * 100
"" = agi * 0.0916


50 agi -> 4.58% crit rate
50 int -> 100 matk
50 vit -> 300 HP (in case you were considering)

You'd also have enough leftover stat points to bring up a second stat to 26, I think. And people seem fine with a 40/40/8 build (i.e. they get enough vit from gear+cards, etc.), spending those leftover points on vit, which is a pretty negligible 48 HP, so let's just pretend you won't be getting vit at all and are instead going for pure output with a 50/26 build of some sort.
You'd be comparing between these two stat scenarios then.
50 agi, 26 int -> 4.58% crit rate, 52 matk
26 agi, 50 int -> 2.38% crit rate, 100 matk

(40 agi, 40 int, 8 vit -> 3.66% crit rate, 80 matk, 48 HP)

So at its extremes, it's a difference of 2.2% crit rate vs. 48 matk.

And by endgame, with matk getting up to 2k, 48 matk amounts to 2% of that, or less.
Your stats don't mean much compared to your gear.

In addition to Aquilon (Wizard), I also play as Levante on the Korean server, and the armor you see is (also) lv 50 raid (epic) equipment for the sorcerer. If you're currently looking at this... please save yourself and play as a female character if you want to play as a sorcerer.

Ragnarok Online 2 DPS/Semi Healer Sorc Guide

INTRODUCTION

Im a sorc in Jormungard. IGN ZidaneGarnet. Currently lv50. This guide goes a major edit on 23/01/13 due to a major nerf on ALL Sorcerer's Healing Skills. 

As of now, all the healing skills are reduced by 50% and its PERMANENT Yes! its permanent. I know there are alot sorcerer users out there feeling remorse on this matter. Trust me! So do I !.

I've given alot thoughts into this matter and i can only come out with 1 conclusion. Sorc can never be a good hybrid anymore. Now you either choose to be full supporter or full dps with very little healing skill.

I will talk more about it in this guide below.

The Sorcerer

The sorceror is one of the most versatile classes to play, in such a way that your skill build varies to your playing style as well as what you'd like to bring forward in parties and raids.

Sorcs are one of the only two classes in the game people depend on for healing (the other obviously being the priest). What makes a sorceror's heals different from a priests is that it ffocuses more on Area of Effect and Heals over Time.

Sorcerors also provide other types of support in the forms of defense buffs, ressurecting other players, targetted heals (not as good as priests of course).

And of course hailing from the mage class, sorcerors also pack their own arsenal of spells to whittle down the enemy via combinations of spells, instant cast or double damage procs.

Im a sorc in Jormungard. IGN ZidaneGarnet. Currently lv50. I write this guide is just to share with everyone about my sorc and hoping that it would be of help to those that read it 

Sorcerer is indeed a very versatile character. You can do dps, healer and buffer. 20% increase in defense is akin gold to tankers. I'm going to talk about the sorcerer base on my opinion on how it should be and what is should be. There are a lot ways of playing a sorc but im just telling you the way im playing it.
