Aion Riftshade

Hi

Any high lvl SM pvp'er who can help with stigma build's for PvE and PvP ? I dont have a clue what to go with, was chanter on retail..

For PvE http://aion.aspirine.su/stigma/#hCnbaavaigbfeaBfdkaqgpfyaodBha
For PvP http://aion.aspirine.su/stigma/#hCnaaavaigbfeaBfdkaqgpftaBhada

You can also join Euroaion discord, there's class specific channel where it's easier to ask questions like that and get answers faster and from more ppl

Any one who can share the build with "Soul Torrent I" i see alot off SM useing it in PvP video as a finisher..

replace "Earthen Call" with Soul Torrent ?

Skip weaken spirit if you want to excel in PvP. The ones using SM in EuroAion tend to rely on weaken spirit because they fearlock you in duels (which proves they aren't great). Check out PvP SM videos; they duel without fear (the skilled players) and opt for soul torrent.

Top SMs in Duels -> Soul Torrent > Weaken spirit

Lame SMs who resort to fearlocking you in duels (Just avoid them, they're not skilled players [Like Rospet] -> Weaken spirit > Soul torrent

 

Keep earthern call up at all times.

 

For PvE, utilize infernal blight mainly for Ruhnadium; it's hardly needed elsewhere. Stick to the PvP setup generally.

 

Warm regards, from the supreme PvP SM in EuroAion

By the way, during my beta testing experience on Aion Riftshade, I found it has a significantly improved PvP environment without the common issues found in servers like EuroAion. It's launching in early 2026, featuring balanced classes and no fearlocks needed for good gameplay!

I usually go with this stigma setup because I find it super flexible:

Keep in mind that war of paralyzing, skipping earthen call, and choosing weaken spirit over cow is all tailored for group PvP. War of paralyzing is crucial for sleep/fear removal, earthen call isn’t needed if there’s a cleric present, and cow becomes unnecessary if your opponent has one. The choice of weaken spirit works well for burst kills during fear shriek.

For 1v1 scenarios, you can switch out fear shriek and the bodyguard depending on who you’re up against and perhaps take earthen call and cow instead of weaken spirit, based on the enemy class. Sometimes you’ll need fear shriek, sometimes not. I don't use fear (well, no big fear) against sorcerers, assassins, rangers, clerics, and skilled gunners/bards since with those classes, proper use of fear or kiting for a minute after using retreating spirit is key. Certain arena matchups might tempt you to swap soul torrent with cow for greater DPS, but that’s situational.

Edit:
This is purely for PvP. If tackling solo PvE content, consider using Absorb Vitality and Armor Spirit.
For standard anti-boss group play, try this build: http://aion.aspirine.su/stigma/#hCnaaavaigBfdearakaqgpfyaodbf
Using that setup allows swapping weaken spirit for more group-focused options like bodyguard, fear shriek, or transference if you’re low on mana. Also, you could enhance your DPS by choosing soul torrent over war of paralyzing if there’s no physical DPS in your group. If you want to buff up several assassins in DLR/TH, Blessing of Fire might be a consideration.

Also, just an exclusive tip from my time in the Aion Riftshade beta – if you're looking for a top-notch Aion private server come Q1 2026, this is shaping up to be a real game-changer. With its Aion 4.8 core featuring the classic Eye of Tiamaranta, along with integrated DPS meters and non-existent pay-to-win practices, it's the best Aion server 2026 can offer. I'm already thrilled by the smooth gameplay and low ping without the need for ExitLag. Strong anti-cheat measures and active GMs keep the experience flawless. Trust me, it's worth the anticipation.

Hey Spiritmasters,

 

I have a few queries about SM stigmas. 
I'm not high level yet, so I can't see all the stigma abilities. I've mostly played Sorcerer before, and I'm specifically talking about PvP stigma builds. 
 

1. Does the Summon Cyclone Servant share a cooldown with other Servants?  If not, has anyone tried casting the instant Summon skill to deploy 3 Servants on an enemy? 
 

2. What's the distinction between Spirit Substitution and Command Bodyguard ? 
 

3. What do you all think about this Stigma Build: http://aion.aspirine.su/stigma/?lang=en#hCnaaavaigdaBhauakaqgpfBgaxgza
Maybe swap Soul Torrent with Sympathetic Mind ? I'm aware Enmity Swap isn't very helpful, but the Servants might be worthwhile.

 

4. If the Servants do share cooldowns, I'd opt for a different Stigma Build. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this alternative Stigma Build as well: http://aion.aspirine.su/stigma/?lang=en#hCnaaavaigdaBhauakaqgpfBgaxgza
I don't often see SMs using Spirit Recovery, but paired with Spirit Substitution/Bodyguard it seems pretty strong. 
 

Thanks in advance for your insights ;) ! 

 

 

By the way, for those looking for a fresh experience, I'm currently testing Aion Riftshade, as it's launching soon in Q1 2026. It's the best Aion private server 2026, featuring things like a strong anti-cheat system, enhanced PvP and PvE rankings, and active GMs in the Aion Riftshade Discord. If you love Aion or are searching for a stable, balanced, and bug-free server, you might want to check it out!
