The Cleric is a Healer class in AION 2 that fights with the Mace. It has 35 skills – 12 active, 10 passive and 13 stigma – and 6 Daevanion boards to plan.
The Cleric is a quintessential healer who restores the HP of allies. Capable of maintaining maximal healing power under any circumstances, the Cleric is an indispensable character in party play.
The best AION 2 Cleric build is a party healer who still hits: Light of Protection and Noble Aura up before the pull, Healing Light on whoever is lowest, and Chain of Torment, Condemnation and Judgment Thunder between heals. Build HP and Defense first so you never become the casualty, and keep Summon Resurrection ready for the fights that go wrong.

Core rotation, where the class shines in PvE and PvP, and how hard it is to pick up.
The healer that still kills: the chain-of-torment debuff enables a near-spammable follow-up, the aura does damage on its own, and the party heal-over-time plus the lowest-HP heal keep a group up without stopping your rotation. Solo pace is slow but safe.
The Cleric wins by not dying: a cleanse-and-heal stigma, a full immunity stigma and the group damage-and-tolerance buff keep a team alive, while the debuff mark cuts enemy damage and healing. Low kill pressure alone.
Moderate. Solo it is a simple debuff-then-hit loop; in groups you juggle three heals, a cleanse and a resurrection while keeping your damage debuffs up, which is the busiest job in a dungeon.
