What is the best Cleric leveling build in Aion 2?

Level a Cleric on damage and let your heal-over-time keep you alive. Put your first skill points into Chain of Torment, then Condemnation as soon as it unlocks at level 8, since Condemnation only hits targets under Chain of Torment. After that, raise Judgment Thunder, Divine Aura and Bolt (level 14). Keep Light of Regeneration running instead of stopping to heal. Skill points reset for free, and game8 suggests a respec at 45 to move points into heals. On Nezekan at 12, game8 takes Combat Speed and Cooldown Reduction, while MetaBot's top players start with Healing Enhancement and Warm Benediction. Stigmas open at 22: Light of Protection or Noble Aura first, and Earth Punishment once you have room, because at stigma level 5 it guarantees Condemnation crits. Follow the Episode Quests to 45 and upgrade your mace first.
  • Skill order: Chain of Torment → Condemnation (lv8) → Judgment Thunder → Divine Aura → Bolt (lv14)
  • Boards: Nezekan 12, Zikel 20, Vaizel 30, Triniel 40
  • Stigma slots open at 22, 27, 32 and 37
  • Skill points reset for free

Leveling tips

  • Don't top yourself off after every small hit; Light of Regeneration covers normal questing and stopping to heal slows you down.
  • Light of Protection doesn't stack with a Chanter's Undefeated Mantra, so coordinate in groups.
  • Solo leveling is slow on Cleric. Grouping for Sealed Dungeons is where the class pays off.
  • Grab Hidden Cubes and Empyrean Traces on the way with the interactive map.
  • New to the game? The first week guide covers everything besides your class.

Cleric leveling FAQ

What should I level first on Cleric in Aion 2?＋

game8 says Chain of Torment, then Condemnation from level 8, then Judgment Thunder, Divine Aura and Bolt. Gamerblurb starts with Judgment Thunder and Earth's Retribution. Both lead with damage while leveling.

When do stigmas unlock for Cleric?＋

At level 22. Stigma slots open at 22, 27, 32 and 37. Light of Protection or Noble Aura first, then Earth Punishment once you have the slots, is a common leveling path.

Is Cleric good for leveling?＋

It's safe but slow. It rarely dies, but it has the slowest solo kill speed, so it sits in C tier for solo play on our tier list. Build damage while leveling and switch to heals at 45.

What stats should a leveling Cleric use?＋

Gamerblurb suggests Attack, then Critical Hit and Combat Speed, adding HP only when mobs threaten you. Healing Enhancement makes your heals scale with Attack, so Attack isn't wasted on a healer.

When does the Daevanion board unlock?＋

On global: Nezekan at 12, Zikel at 20, Vaizel at 30 and Triniel at 40, with the Azphel board at 45.

Can I reset skill points in Aion 2?＋

Yes. Resetting skill points is free from the skill menu. Daevanion nodes can be refunded one at a time for a small Kinah fee, outer nodes first.
