Cleric skill priority
Ranked by how much each skill matters at level 45: what you keep on cooldown and level first. Cooldowns are base values from client data, before Cooldown Reduction and specializations.
| # | Skill | Type | Cooldown | What it does for you |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chain of Torment | Active | 20 s | AoE plus a damage-over-time that lowers enemy damage tolerance. Enables Condemnation. |
| 2 | Condemnation | Active | 3 s | AoE that only hits Chain of Torment targets. A high-level specialization can reset it on crit. |
| 3 | Light of Regeneration | Active | 30 s | Party heal-over-time every 2 seconds for 30 seconds within 25 m. Keep it up permanently. |
| 4 | Light of Protection | Stigma | 5 s | Toggle: about +10.5% PvE damage and damage tolerance for nearby party. Doesn't stack with Undefeated Mantra. |
| 5 | Earth Punishment | Stigma | 30 s | Earth hit plus damage-over-time; game8 notes that at level 5 it guarantees a Condemnation crit. |
| 6 |  Judgment Thunder | Active | – | 20 m AoE wind hit. Third in game8's skill-point order. |
| 7 |  Radiant Recovery | Active | 12 s | Party heal that also removes one debuff. Use it after big hits. |
| 8 |  Healing Light | Active | 6 s | Heals you and the lowest-HP party member. Your on-cooldown spot heal. |
| 9 |  Noble Aura | Stigma | 60 s | Summons an aura that follows you and attacks your target, so you keep dealing damage while healing. |
| 10 |  Divine Aura | Active | 30 s | Part of game8's damage sequence and fourth in its skill-point order. |
| 11 |  Bolt | Active | 45 s | Three-stage charged AoE. Opens the damage sequence. |
| 12 |  Debilitating Mark | Active | 10 s | AoE damage-over-time that lowers the enemy's damage boost. |
| 13 |  Summon Resurrection | Stigma | 120 s | Revives a fallen party member within 40 m. |
| 14 |  Earth's Retribution | Basic | – | Basic 20 m earth bolt that restores MP. |
| 15 |  Absolution | Stigma | 90 s | Party heal that removes up to two debuffs. Extra cleanse or panic heal. |
| 16 |  Salvation | Stigma | 150 s | 3 seconds of damage and status immunity. |
| 17 |  Benevolence | Stigma | 90 s | 20-second party heal-over-time. Pairs with Light of Regeneration. |
| 18 |  Voice of Doom | Stigma | 60 s | AoE damage-over-time that cuts enemy healing and potion recovery by 60% for 20 seconds. |
| 19 |  Defiance | Active | 60 s | Shared skill: breaks stun, knockdown, airborne and similar crowd control, then gives 5 seconds of status immunity. |

Daevanion skill nodes
Board nodes and Arcana raise skill levels too; stigmas are levelled with Stigma Shards instead. The planner below opens with our Cleric PvE layout loaded, so you can see which skill nodes it takes.

Set from MetaBot's pick-rate table. With a Chanter in the party, swap Light of Protection for Absolution or Benevolence, since the two party buffs don't stack. Yustiel's Power is the pick for hard raid phases; Voice of Doom is the damage swap in PvP. Slots open at levels 22, 27, 32 and 37. Shards, costs and every class side by side: Aion 2 stigma guide.
