Accuracy while the boss still evades or parries (no published threshold). Armor: CRIT or ATK; max HP is fine when soloing.

    Jewelry moves to crafting before armor among the 39 best-geared (95 to 99%): it carries ATK and, on rings, the +1 to active skills.

Stats to aim for

in priority order; your value when your sheet gives it

  1. 1PrécisionFirst: bosses parry or evade hits from the front. The threshold changes depending on the dungeon; no reliable global figure yet.
  2. 2Boost de DGT et Boost de DGT d’armeSoul Engraving options on gear (Damage Boost) and manastones (Weapon Damage Boost), according to 빵호빵 (KR, Sep 17).
  3. 3Boost de DGT CRITWind’s Promise, Spinning Strike (+15% per stack, 2 stacks) and Undefeated Mantra 15 already provide it.
  4. 4Coup puissant (Double)Doubles the damage of the hit. Impact Hit and Undefeated Mantra 20 provide it; Wisdom (Mirror of Magic) as well. On global, Smite only rolls on the helmet and cloak (soul engraving lines); it also comes from the pet (Special tab, slot 4, up to 3%), the Pantheon’s Wisdom, Impact Hit and Undefeated Mantra 20, never from a manastone or a title (global client; aion2maps).
  5. 5CRITCap shown as 50% on Global (see the thresholds); 80% in Korea: Dark Crush’s “guaranteed Crit” specialization gives about 10% (Hagoo).
  6. 6VIT de combatLow priority for the Chanter: since the Sep 16 KR patch the 122% Combat Speed threshold (with Power of the Storm up) only gives one more Dark Crush and one more Piercing Strike per Storm window, about 18 extra hits in the tested window (183 vs 165; Inven 22960, Sep 19; aion2maps, Oct 2). Don’t invest beyond the buffs and an ordinary Courage scroll.
Known thresholds and caps
  • Critical Hit: the global Critical Hit tooltip says “50% maximum” (Evasion 30%), but no client table stores that cap: the Asian release showed the same text and its combat statistics reach about 80% (aion2maps, Sep 28); Hagoo (KR) gives 80% and values Dark Crush’s “guaranteed Crit” specialization at about 10% more damage. To be checked in game.
  • Combat Speed: since the Sep 16 KR patch, the 122% threshold (with Power of the Storm) no longer chains Dark Crush endlessly (빵호빵, Sep 17: “no effect”) but still gains one more Dark Crush and one more Piercing Strike per Storm window, about thirty hits a minute (Inven 22960, Sep 19; aion2maps, Oct 2); players still aim for it on Oct 6 (Inven 23329): a small gain, to test on your own dummy.

  • Nezekan : Level 12. Unique nodes first (Combat Speed +3%, Cooldown Reduction +3%), then levels for your core skills and Attack Preparation (2 nodes).

  • Triniel : Level 40. Multi-Hit Chance +4.5% and core skills; it ends up filled like the others.

Arcana

Arcana: 5 slots on the official Global sheet (Mein-MMO says 4: to check in game). Each card raises skill levels and gives a deity stat; several cards of the same set add a PvE bonus. Open the Arcana sheet

Recommended for this build

  • Miroir de magie (Sagesse)

    Its deity stat Wisdom gives Double Chance and reduces MP cost: it is the “Wisdom” that Hagoo has preferred since September (KR). The Mirror of Vigor gives Illusion (cooldown reduction): save it for support.

  • Set Vigueur primordiale (3 ou 4 cartes de vigueur)

    Chalice, Parchment, Compass (and Bell) of Vigor: +60 PvE Attack with 2 pieces, +150 with 4, while your HP is at 70% or higher (global client). Couga54 (Oct 3, Arthars’ pick) plays 3 Vigor cards (Chalice: Time, Parchment: Life, Compass: Freedom) + Bell (Destruction) and Mirror (Wisdom) of Magic: both 2-piece bonuses; the 4 Vigor cards “work too”. aion2maps (Oct 2) follows the same Pantheon order: Chalice of Vigor (Time), Mirror of Magic (Wisdom), Bell of Magic (Destruction). Among the 26 global Chanters whose Arcana aion2tool reads (Oct 4): 2 Magic + 2 Vigor bonuses 38.5%, 4 Vigor 26.9%.

  • Lignes de compétences des cartes

    Each card carries 4 skills. Keep the ones that raise Onslaught, Dark Crush and Spinning Strike (+4 max per skill), then Wind’s Promise, Attack Preparation and Impact Hit (구미타노스, KR, Aug 28). On global there are only five cards: Parchment (Onslaught, Dark Crush, Spinning Strike), Compass (Recuperation, Incandescent Blow), Bell (Attack Preparation, Blessing of Life), Mirror (Wind’s Promise, Impact Hit) and Chalice (the key skill still short of 20); a card adds at most +4 to its skills, count on about +2 (aion2maps, Oct 2; Couga54, Oct 3).

Rotation and macro

Farming: two lines, AoE Impactful Crush and Obliterate by hand

Macro by Arthars (via Couga54) and Hagoo (Inven)Single source

  • Solo and leveling
  • From level 45
  • 4 Stigmas out of 4

Hold X1 with LMBside mouse button, suggested: the game assigns no key

  1. Step 1: RMB, Dark Crush, Spinning Strike, Impactful Crush, Incandescent Blow
  2. Step 2: E, Gust Rampage, Wave Blow, Heat Wave Blow
  3. looping, 10 ms
ConsumablesF1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8X: auto potion
Why this macro, step by step

Farming is the only build that keeps the conditional line at 45: AoE Impactful Crush stuns the whole pack, which makes Wave Blow free on line B, and Heat Wave Blow fires on half of the Rushing Smashes. In a group (DPS and raid builds), the guides drop that line, because each extra line reduces the first line’s hits and a boss resists stuns. Obliterate, specific to this build, knocks down 4 monsters: it serves the engage, not the loop, so it stays manual like Marchutan’s Wrath.

  1. Dark Crush : Priority 1: only fires in the 2 s window opened by Spinning Strike or Impactful Crush (3 s after Marchutan’s Wrath); at the top of the stack no window is wasted.
  2. Spinning Strike : Main opener: reopens Dark Crush, hits 4 targets at 20 m and applies 2 stacks of Critical Damage Boost; its cooldown drops by 1 s per Onslaught hit (level 12 spec).
  3. Impactful Crush : AoE spec: it hits and stuns the pack, which opens Wave Blow on line B.
  4. Incandescent Blow : Cooldown free filler (with Bursting Blow): it only fires when the other three are waiting.
  5. Gust Rampage : Only hits a staggered target: outside that window the step casts nothing.
  6. Wave Blow : On monsters stunned by Impactful Crush: 3 s knockdown, they stop hitting you.
  7. Heat Wave Blow : Only activates after a successful Block (or half of Rushing Smashes with its spec): 4 target area and Seal.
Keep it manual
  • Rushing Smash (reset on every kill) then Obliterate: the engage of each pack.
  • Power of the Storm on a big pack or an elite; Marchutan’s Wrath if you run it, when no window is open.
  • Mantras (toggles), Recuperation, Dodge, Defiance.
How to set it up in game

Two 10 ms steps: line A (right click) then line B (E), left click held. Impactful Crush on its “Changes to AoE damage” specialization. Engage each pack by hand with Rushing Smash then Obliterate, and only then hold the macro.

  1. Open your skills (K), then the macro button at the top right.
  2. Add one step per blue key, in the order of the numbers: click its icon and pick the slot.
  3. Delay of each step: 10 ms.
  4. Settings, Keys, General, Skill macro: bind the key that holds it.
Where this macro comes from

Put together from two sources reread on Nov 13: Arthars’ Dark Crush line and the pack engage “Rushing Smash, Obliterate, Dark Crush line and Onslaught” (Couga54 guide), and the conditional line of Hagoo’s bar (Inven 116, Aug 5 screenshot). The two line farming macro from aion2maps (recorded Oct 5) says the same but could not be reread on Nov 13 (error 403). No ranked player publishes a farming macro.

Picked for you: your build's macro · made for: Solo and leveling

Why this bar
  • LMBOnslaught : Fixed slot: hold it together with the macro key. Each hit of the Onslaught chain restores 100 to 120 MP and, with the level-12 spec, takes 1 s off Spinning Strike: without it, the Dark Crush line runs short of MP and openers.
  • QTremor Crush › Rushing Smash : Gap closers, always by hand: right after a Dodge, Q casts Tremor Crush (10 m, 20 with its spec), otherwise Rushing Smash (20 m, +100 MP, reset on every kill with its level-12 spec). In a macro you would charge into the next pack.
  • 1Recuperation : Party heal and cleanse at 40 m (2 casts with the level-8 spec, 15 s cooldown each): by hand, when the party loses HP or gets a debuff.
  • 2Power of the Storm : Power of the Storm: on the pull, before the party uses its skills (only cooldowns that start during the effect are cut), then just before a stagger; announce it.
  • 3Obliterate : Changed for your build: its Stigmas take the place of Marchutan’s Wrath, which the class template had.
  • 4Defiance : Defiance (60 s, not reducible): frees you from a stun, knockdown, grab, freeze or fear, then 5 s of immunity; duplicate it on a mouse button.
  • 5Undefeated Mantra : Undefeated Mantra: a toggle to switch on once, and after each death; never in a macro, a 2nd press switches it off.
  • 6Sprint Mantra : Sprint Mantra: same rule; Movement Speed and a 15% chance to heal on every hit for the whole party.
