Auramancer

Wizard · 10 Kugan skills · 2 active, 8 passive

Auramancers bind themselves to wind, and wind rarely agrees to stand still.

Their magic is speed, interruption and impossible timing. They strike through lightning, disturb casting, cut through formations and leave enemies trying to answer a spell that has already moved on.

Wind offers them more than damage. It brings swift casting, evasive grace, stop effects, brake effects, crippled recovery and an elemental companion built for celerity. An Auramancer can make an opponent slow, unreliable and late, while the caster keeps pushing the tempo forward.

They are not heavy defenders and do not enjoy being trapped. Their strength comes from initiative: cast first, move first, interrupt first, and make the enemy spend the rest of the fight catching up.

To face an Auramancer is not merely to chase lightning.

It is to be late before the battle begins.

Tank	★★☆☆☆	Swift effects can reduce incoming damage to scratches, but the kit lacks stable mitigation.
Tactical	★★★★☆	Stop, Brake, Cripple, Ganbantein-style utility and fast summon pressure give excellent tempo control.
Healer	☆☆☆☆☆	No healing tools are present.
Buffer	★★★☆☆	Fast casting, Swift and wind enhancement provide strong self-buffing.
Debuffer	★★★★☆	Stop, Brake and Cripple effects disrupt movement, casting, attack speed and recovery.
DPS Melee Physical	★★☆☆☆	Wind Attack provides weapon-range elemental physical damage, but it is not the main path.
DPS Ranged Physical	★☆☆☆☆	The wind summon has ranged pressure, but the caster does not specialize in ranged physical DPS.
DPS Magical	★★★★☆	Lightning Bolt, Lightning Storm and Lord of Vermillion support strong wind magical damage.
Special	★★★★☆	Wind devotion, scratch mitigation, elemental expertise and fast-control identity stand out.
Resources	★★☆☆☆	Basic HP/SP scaling exists, but no major recovery tool defines the kit.
Mobility	★★★★☆	Wind identity, speed effects and tempo tools make it one of the most mobile-feeling caster paths.
