Leveling progress

0/23 done

Tick steps as you go. Progress is saved in this browser, separately for each class.

Start Route Follow yellow (main story) quests only. Side content scales with your level, so nothing is lost by doing it later.
Lv 1 Class Level your two no-cooldown attacks first: Earth's Retribution (restores MP) and Judgment Thunder. Play in target mode — it keeps the basic attack going between skills, and that is your mana.
After prologue Route Collect 40 feathers (120 shards) for an early amulet upgrade.
Lv ~6 Class Chain of Torment marks the target; Condemnation only hits a target under Chain of Torment — put both in one hotbar line with Chain at the bottom.
Lv 8 Class First specializations: +20% [Discharge] Chain Skill trigger chance, Deals up to 12% more damage when less targets are hit, +3s Damage over Time, -15% target Defense for duration of Damage over Time.
Lv 12 Route Daevanion unlocks (Nezekan board). Blue nodes = +1 skill level — see your class step below.
Lv 9–18 Class Bolt for burst and stagger (take +30% Skill Speed); Healing Light for yourself. Raise attack skills, not heals — a healing-focused Cleric levels slowly.
Lv 15 / 20 / 25 Route Clear hideouts that are on your route — first clears give Enhance Stones and Daevanion Crystals.
~Lv 17 Route Amulet +10, then Morph it into the blue version.
Any time Route Weapon to ~+10 — the biggest damage jump while leveling. Don't push further before the cap.
Lv 20 Route Zikel board opens — same node priority as before.
Lv 21 Class Passive Earth's Grace (Critical Damage and Accuracy) — straight to 10 the moment you learn it.
Lv ~22 Route Ascension → stigmas unlock (4 slots in global Season 1). The slots open one at a time at levels 22, 27, 32 and 37 — you can learn more stigmas, but only that many fit on the bar. Which ones — see your class step.
Lv 22 Class Stigmas: one point into Summon Resurrection, then Noble Aura, Earth Punishment, Benevolence and Absolution to 5.
Acts 2–3 Route Story only — don't get distracted by the map.
Lv 30 Route Vaizel board opens (critical damage).
Act 4 Route Side quests and solo dungeons are worth doing again here.
Lv 40 Route Triniel board opens (multi-hit; mostly PvP — can wait). Krao Cave expects about 1000 Gear Score.
Lv 45 Route Azphel board opens — PvP Damage Boost and Tolerance only, no skill nodes. For PvE keep filling the first four boards; global has no Ariel board.
Cap Class Both clicks at 10 by level 25; then Condemnation, Bolt and Healing Light. Before group dungeons get Healing Light to 16.
Cap Route Shugo activities for the full level-cap reward set (gold gear, materials).
Cap Route Sweep the map: question marks, bonfires, green quests, hidden cubes, feathers. Turn in feathers — altar Lv 30 gives a title.
Daily Route Nightmare entry, Transformation floors as your GS allows, dungeons T2 before T3 (watch your energy).

Overview

In AION 2 dungeons the Cleric is a healer that has to deal damage: rewards depend on your contribution, and a Cleric who only heals can walk out with nothing. Your party has plenty of dodges and invulnerabilities of its own — top people up after hits, and put everything else into damage.

The build in one sentence

Earth Punishment makes Condemnation always crit, and a crit resets Condemnation — so it fires with no cooldown, while Divine Aura, Bolt and Noble Aura add damage on top.

This mode follows Kaeria's Cleric PvE video guide (Russian, recorded on the Taiwan client on September 28; she says it applies to global too), checked against the video frames on September 30, and against Lucia's guide (English, global, October 5 — a World's First Rank 1 Cleric at 2,160 item level). Skill picks are reversible for free — only arcana cost resources.

Patch Season 1. The build is checked against guides from the global servers: 4 stigmas, cap 20.

Overview

In PvP the Cleric keeps the PvE core — Condemnation reset by crits, Judgment Thunder, the heals — and changes what the stigmas and a few picks are for: crowd control, cutting the enemy's healing, and keeping the party alive through a burst.

The build in one sentence

Buff with Prayer of Amplification and Light of Protection, put Voice of Doom on the healer or the tank you are killing, and save Yustiel's Power for the moment the enemy bursts.

This mode follows the PvP part of Lucia's Cleric guide (English, global, October 5 — a World's First Rank 1 Cleric): stigmas for duels and group fights and the picks she changes for PvP. She promised a separate video on PvP combos; until then the rotation is the PvE one.

Patch Season 1. The build is checked against guides from the global servers: 4 stigmas, cap 20.

Global Season 1: what changes

Global servers open on October 5, 2026 (Founder's early access from September 30). What that means for the Cleric:

4 stigma slots, capped at 20. Kaeria's Taiwan bar has more; the four in this guide are her picks for global. The level-25 tiers (such as Double Chance on Light of Protection) don't exist here.
You are paid for damage. Dungeon rewards depend on your contribution, so a Cleric who only heals can leave with nothing — this whole build is about dealing damage while healing on the side.
Bigger groups (5-player expeditions, 10-player sanctuaries): with a Chanter in the party your mantra doesn't stack with theirs — swap Light of Protection out.
Lower ping than on Taiwan: animations cancel better, so the macro can weave more basic attacks.

Active skills and passives are identical in the global and KR/TW data; stigmas lose their level-25 tier. The source video was recorded on the Taiwan client with English skill names.

Skills

?

Almost everything goes into damage. The heals that matter need 16: Healing Light and Radiant Recovery.

Leveling order (Lucia): first the two skills you weave — Earth's Retribution and Judgment Thunder — then Condemnation, then the heals. After the regional quests at 45 every skill should be 12 or higher; from there take the specializations and push the heals.

Condemnation 16 20

The most important skill on your bar: +12% on a single target and a cooldown reset on crit. At 20 add MP if mana is short, Multi-Hit if not.

Divine Aura 16 20

Underrated: it deals damage in parallel with you, so the longer it stays up the better. At 16 take the aura's attack speed and −10s cooldown, at 20 add +3s (Lucia). Option: Kaeria takes +3s instead of the attack speed at 16; for farming aLuckyRO takes the AoE pick (up to four mobs). Whelps (global) takes the AoE pick and −10s at 16, the same three as here at 20.

Bolt 16 20

Your strongest hit. Charge it fully. +300 Skill Accuracy, so it almost always lands, and +30% skill speed; at 20 add the guaranteed crit (Lucia).

Radiant Recovery 16 20

Your strongest heal outside stigmas; removes a debuff. Lucia: −3s cooldown and +10% Incoming Heal up to 16, then −3s and +5% HP — take it to 20 early. Option: +1 consecutive use instead of −3s, for two big heals in a row.
- 8-3s cooldown

Earth's Retribution 12 16

Basic attack used to cancel animations: Discharge chance and −7s Bolt cooldown on Discharge — the more Discharge procs, the sooner Bolt is back. 16 is enough; if you ever take it to 20, add Multi-Hit.

Debilitating Mark 12

−15% Defense on the boss while the damage over time lasts; Lucia adds the 20% stun for crowd control in Transcendence. Option: the pick that lowers the boss's damage instead of the stun — Lucia isn't sure it works as described.

Skills

?

Skill levels and most picks are the same as in PvE. What changes for PvP:

Earth's Retribution 16 20

The same Discharge and −7s Bolt picks; at 20 take Ignores Block and Evasion — in PvP your basic attack must land.

Passives

Empyrean Lord's Grace — the most important one: Critical Hit, Double Chance and extra damage on every hit. As high as you can.
Earth's Grace — used to buff the party, now only you; still worth leveling.
Healing Enhancement — heal boost as a share of your Attack, so a Cleric builds Attack rather than Defense.
Radiant Benediction — heals nearby allies on attacks; take it if you go all-in on damage.
Warm Benediction and Immortal Veil are fine to have; Empyrean Lords' Benediction is for PvP.

Lucia levels these three first, before any other passive: Empyrean Lord's Grace, Healing Enhancement and Earth's Grace. Immortal Veil helps early and falls off once your armor scales.

First days (aLuckyRO): level Radiant Benediction — it heals the whole party every few seconds while they hit — and Healing Enhancement first. The crit passives pay off only once your gear gives Critical Hit; until then you barely crit.

Gear & stats

Gear lines: Might (attack and heal), Combat Speed, Damage Boost; Weapon Damage Boost and Precision are strong too. Skip status resists, evasion and defensive lines in PvE.
Weapon and guard (Lucia): Weapon Damage Boost, Might, Combat Speed, Precision. Gloves: Combat Speed; boots: Movement Speed. Accessories: Combat Speed, Might and Precision, plus one line for Earth's Grace or Empyrean Lord's Grace.
Rings: craft them as soon as you can — crafted rings have one more line for active skills. Fill every line with active skills: Condemnation, Radiant Recovery, Judgment Thunder, and Healing Light or Divine Aura.
Stats: Destruction, Wisdom (Double Chance), Illusion (cooldowns), Time (Combat Speed), Freedom (accuracy), plus Death (Critical Hit) — Kaeria's own pick, a Cleric is always short on crit; Might, Precision, Constitution. Lucia's four: Time, Illusion, Space, Destruction.
For the Ludra raid: at least 1,000 Accuracy and 1,000 Critical Hit.
Wings: Talisra Wings (Attack 60, Defense 400, Accuracy 35, −4% cooldowns) from the season shop for about 250,000 season points — save the points for them.

Genus Insight

Genus Insight gives permanent stats from your pets: 5 boards (Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian, Special) of 9 slots each. Get every pet to level 3 early, level the Special board first, and don't lock anything before a board is at Insight 9–10. How it all works, costs and odds: Genus Insight guide →

Slot	Cleric: take
1, 5	Attack Bonus (5: or Max Attack)
2, 8	HP
3, 6, 9	Accuracy, or Block if your accuracy is already high
7	Regeneration or Endurance
4 · Special	Double Chance
4 · Cogni	Damage Boost
4 · Fera	Damage Boost
4 · Natura	Perfect Chance
4 · Varian	Back Attack Damage Boost

PvP changes: Critical Hit Resist instead of HP on 2, and Front Attack Damage Boost on Varian: in PvP you face the target (Lucia).

Lock order: slot 4 → 7 → 1 and 5 → 3, 6, 9 → 2 and 8. Lock a line only when it rolled near its maximum. Picks from Lucia.

Gear & stats

Gear lines as in PvE — Weapon Damage Boost, Might, Combat Speed, Precision on the weapon and guard; accessories Combat Speed, Might, Precision.
Genus Insight: Critical Hit Resist instead of HP on slot 2, and Front Attack Damage Boost on the damage slot of that wheel — in PvP you face the target.
Azphel, the level-45 Daevanion board, is the PvP board — fill it for PvP (route in the Daevanion section).

Arcana

Arcana	Set / stat	Roll for
Chalice	Vigor (Combat Speed)	Anything that takes your key skills to 16 → 20
Parchment	Destiny or Life	Condemnation, Radiant Recovery, Earth's Retribution, Bolt
Compass	Death or Freedom	Lightning Strike Scattershot, Healing Light, Divine Aura, Judgment Thunder
Bell	Destruction	Empyrean Lord's Grace (avoid Survival Willpower)
Mirror	Wisdom (damage) or Illusion (cooldowns)	Earth's Grace, Healing Enhancement

Set bonuses: collect 2 + 2, or four cards of Primal Vigor (+60 PvE Attack with two, +150 with four, while your HP is 70% or more). Early on a card with the right skills beats a card from the right set — fix the sets later.

Daevanion boards

Daevanion takes your skills from 10 to 14 and adds stats. Each blue node gives +1 level to its skill.

Priority: orange Cooldown and Combat Speed nodes first, then Attack and Critical, then the blue skill nodes, then the defensive orange nodes, passives last.
Critical Damage Tolerance and Multi-Hit Resist do nothing in PvE — bosses don't crit or multi-hit.
Resetting a board is cheap, and you will rebuild it many times.
Lucia's order: on Nezekan and Zikel take all four corners and your skills; on Vaizel and Triniel skip the corners and go straight for the active skills you use.
Whelps' order: first the blue nodes that take your active skills to 12 — the second specialization slot is a big power spike; then the orange attack nodes (Combat Speed, Cooldown Reduction, Damage Boost, Critical Damage Boost, Multi-Hit Chance), the Empyrean Lord's Grace and Earth's Grace nodes, Attack and Critical, and only then the defensive ones (Damage Tolerance, Critical Damage Tolerance, HP, Defense). Avoid the MP +50 nodes where you can.
Azphel (level 45) is the PvP board — take it for PvP. Route below.
No Ariel on global: there are five boards, and the level-45 one, Azphel, gives only PvP stats — in PvE finish the first four, then fill Azphel for item level (see below).

Board	Unlock	Orange nodes
Nezekan	Lv 12	Combat Speed, Cooldown Reduction
Zikel	Lv 20	Damage Boost, Damage Tolerance
Vaizel	Lv 30	Critical Damage Boost and Tolerance
Triniel	Lv 40	Multi-Hit Chance and Resist
Azphel	Lv 45	PvP only: Damage Boost / Tolerance corners, Status Effect, PvP stats — no skill nodes

Azphel (level 45): the PvP board

Every class gets the same Azphel board: 152 nodes for 232 points. Each point you spend also adds +1 item level, so it helps you reach gear score breakpoints too (the gear score route fills it after you collect the Abyss feathers). Points come from the Abyss: the Monolith (Empyrean Traces) and Abyss → Trade Shop → Growth, plus the arena and battlefield shops.

Node	Count	Cost	Gives
PvP Damage Boost (orange, corner)	4	4	+1.5% each (6% total)
PvP Damage Tolerance (orange, corner)	4	4	+1.5% each (6% total)
Status Effect Chance (blue)	8	3	Your stuns, snares and roots land more often
Status Effect Resist (blue)	8	3	Shrug off enemy crowd control
Green pairs	24	2	PvP Attack +3 & Defense +30 · Accuracy +5 & Evasion +3 · Critical +5 & Crit Resist +5
Grey single stats	104	1	One PvP stat each, plus 4× Max HP +100 and 4× Max MP +50

Cleric route on Azphel

The 4 PvP Damage Tolerance corners first: the healer is the first target in every fight, and -6% damage taken keeps you alive to heal.
The 8 Status Effect Resist nodes: a stunned or rooted Cleric heals nobody.
The green Defense / Attack, Evasion / Accuracy and Crit Resist / Critical pairs on the way.
Then the Damage Boost corners and Status Effect Chance, which make Chain of Torment and Heal Block land when you play the earth/lightning damage side.

Stigmas

Earth Punishment Lv 15 20

With a Chanter in the party: replace Light of Protection with Absolution, another heal or Summon Resurrection. Voice of Doom (−200 Critical Hit Resist on the boss at 15) is an option in sanctuaries with a second healer, mostly early while everyone is short on crit; Power Burst only where the stagger bar has to be broken and nobody else can do it (Nightmare). Root and Assault Mark have no use in PvE.

Whelps: level Earth Punishment to 20 first, then the others evenly, Light of Protection last. For a support role swap Noble Aura for Summon Resurrection or Yustiel's Power; with a Chanter swap Light of Protection for one of them. He keeps two skill presets, with and without a Chanter — each preset holds its own skill levels.

Macro

?

Lucia's global setup: only the in-game macro, two steps, and two hotbar lines read from her hotbar (frame 13:10). In AION 2 the bottom slot of a line has the highest priority; the cards show each line top to bottom as in the game.

1. Hotbar lines

QPrayer line

4 Condemnation
3 Chain of Torment
2 Earth Punishment
1 Prayer of Amplification

In-game order, top to bottom. 1 = highest priority — the bottom slot.

Prayer whenever it is ready, then Earth Punishment and Chain of Torment, so every Condemnation crits and resets. Keep Light of Protection out of the line: it is a toggle, and every second press would switch it off.

TDivine Aura line

2 Judgment Thunder
1 Divine Aura

In-game order, top to bottom. 1 = highest priority — the bottom slot.

The aura when it is ready, Judgment Thunder in between — after each Judgment Thunder Condemnation can crit and reset again.

Outside the macro — the rest of her bar:

1Debuff line

2 Debilitating Mark
1 Lightning Strike Scattershot

In-game order, top to bottom. 1 = highest priority — the bottom slot.

Lightning Strike Scattershot on a staggered boss, otherwise Debilitating Mark — press it on cooldown.

EHeal line

2 Healing Light
1 Light of Regeneration

In-game order, top to bottom. 1 = highest priority — the bottom slot.

Light of Regeneration whenever it is ready, Healing Light (three charges) for the rest.

Lucia notes that a third-party macro does more, but she sticks to the in-game one.

Another option: Whelps' macro (global)

Whelps' setup (video of Oct 5, frames 3:35 and 4:28): once Condemnation reaches 12 and resets on a crit, the macro spams the Earth Punishment line three times for every press of the debuff line.

CheckIn Combat Analysis, Condemnation should hit as often as Judgment Thunder or more. If it hits less, add another Earth Punishment line step — on Whelps' gear that is 26k DPS instead of 22k.

Recap

Skills: Condemnation, Radiant Recovery, Divine Aura, Bolt 16 → 20; Judgment Thunder, Lightning Strike Scattershot, Healing Light 16; Earth's Retribution 12 → 16; the rest 12–16.
Stigmas: Earth Punishment, Light of Protection, Prayer of Amplification (all three to 20), Noble Aura; with a Chanter swap Light of Protection for Absolution.
Play: deal damage for contribution; heal only the people who just got hit.

Recap

Skills: as in PvE; Chain of Torment and Debilitating Mark take their crowd-control picks, Earth's Retribution ignores Block and Evasion at 20.
Stigmas: Prayer of Amplification, Light of Protection, Yustiel's Power, Voice of Doom; in group PvP Absolution instead of Voice of Doom.
Gear: PvE lines; Critical Hit Resist and Front Attack Damage on Genus Insight, the Azphel board.

Overview

The Cleric is the healer, but while leveling it plays as a ranged damage dealer: Chain of Torment marks the target, Condemnation punishes it, and the passive Radiant Benediction heals you and the party on every hit. Heal only when you need to.

Leveling in one sentence

Hold Earth's Retribution for mana, spam the Chain line with the in-game macro, and put your skill points into attacks rather than heals.

Patch Season 1. The build is checked against guides from the global servers: 4 stigmas, cap 20.

How to fight while leveling

Packs: Chain of Torment (hits up to 4) → Condemnation → Divine Aura with the AoE pick → Judgment Thunder.
Elites: Debilitating Mark (lower Defense) → Chain of Torment → Bolt charged → Condemnation.
Mana: target mode, and weave Earth's Retribution — it restores MP on every cast.
Low HP: Healing Light, and Radiant Benediction keeps ticking as long as you hit.
Staggered bosses: Lightning Strike Scattershot only works while the target is staggered.
Skill points: the attack skills first, heals later; spare points go into Empyrean Lord's Grace and Earth's Grace (Whelps).

Leveling macro

?

Grobs' early-game setup: one hotbar line and a one-slot in-game macro. In AION 2 the bottom slot of a line has the highest priority — the card shows the line top to bottom as in the game.

RMBChain line

4 Judgment Thunder
3 Condemnation
2 Debilitating Mark
1 Chain of Torment

In-game order, top to bottom. 1 = highest priority — the bottom slot.

Chain of Torment goes first so Condemnation can hit; Judgment Thunder has no cooldown and fills the gaps.

In-game macro (Skill window → Macro), delay 10 ms:

1Chain line10 ms

HoldEarth's Retribution on LMB and the macro key together.
By handBolt (charged skill — keep it out of the macro), heals, stigmas.

Whelps' start from level 4: two lines in the macro on RMB — one with Condemnation at the bottom, one with Debilitating Mark. Once Condemnation reaches 12 and resets on a crit, switch to his PvE macro (PvE tab).

Stigmas while leveling

Stigmas unlock at level 22. Whelps' order for each new slot: 22 Earth Punishment (at the bottom of the Condemnation line, so Condemnation always crits), 27 Light of Protection, 32 Noble Aura, 37 Prayer of Amplification.
