    Options and stones to aim for

    • Pierres d’âme (même pool)

    Accuracy and Evasion, max HP (you have no resurrection spell); CRIT and ATK for the damage variant. General advice: no source publishes stones specific to the Chanter.

    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. aion2maps (Sep 28): Accuracy cancels the target’s Block and Parry one for one, the 80% cap is reached with a 1,200-point lead, and Ludra’s targets need about 1,500 Accuracy and 1,600 Critical Hit (Asian release measurements, to be checked on Global).
  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.

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 vigueur (Illusion)

    Illusion reduces cooldowns: more heals and buffs. It is Aishi's choice for a support setup (KR). Couga54 (Oct 3) also names Illusion on the Mirror as the full-support alternative to Wisdom.

  • Lignes de compétences des cartes

    Recuperation, Dark Crush, Onslaught, then Wind’s Promise, Blessing of Life and Attack Preparation.

ConsumablesF1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8X: auto potion
Why this macro, step by step

No guide or player publishes a support macro: this one starts from the guides’ boss line (aion2maps, Couga54) and shortens it. Differences from DPS: no Marchutan’s Wrath (it is not in this set), Impactful Crush by hand to keep a hand free and save it for adds, and Wave Blow on line B, because without a Cleric nothing overwrites its “boss PvE Damage Boost −15%” debuff: it protects the party every time it triggers (7% on an immune boss). Spinning Strike stays in the macro to keep its Healing Boost up. Heals never go in a macro: they must land before the damage, not on every cooldown.

  1. Dark Crush : Damage between heals: it uses the window opened by Spinning Strike.
  2. Spinning Strike : With the “Healing Boost +10% (20% max)” spec, each cast keeps your Healing Boost up.
  3. Incandescent Blow : Filler.
  4. Wave Blow : On a stunned target, or by its 7% trigger on an immune boss: boss PvE Damage Boost −15% for 10 s (level 12 spec).
Keep it manual
  • Recuperation (2 casts) and Healing Touch: before area damage, and to cleanse.
  • Impeding Authority on the boss’s big attack; Barrier Spell or Guardian Blessing depending on your set.
  • Impactful Crush (adds), Power of the Storm, mantras, Defiance, Dodge.
How to set it up in game

Two 10 ms steps: line A (Dark Crush, Spinning Strike, Incandescent Blow), then line B (Wave Blow). Impactful Crush stays on its own key. Spinning Strike on its “Healing Boost +10% (20% max)” specialization. Keep your heal keys under your fingers: Recuperation, Healing Touch, Impeding Authority.

  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

Starts from the aion2maps and Couga54 boss macro (group DPS); adapted to the sheet’s support set (Healing Touch, no Marchutan’s Wrath) and to the Spinning Strike healing spec recommended by aion2maps.

Picked for you: your build's macro · made for: Group

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.
  • RMBDark Crush › Spinning Strike › Incandescent Blow : The Dark Crush line, the macro’s 1st step. In game the stack reads bottom to top: Dark Crush (no. 1) at the very bottom, Incandescent Blow on top; pressed by hand, the key casts the highest-priority skill that is ready.
  • 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.
  • EWave Blow : Conditional skills: Gust Rampage on a staggered target, Wave Blow on a stunned target, Heat Wave Blow after a Block. Second macro step while levelling; on a boss, hold Gust Rampage during the stagger instead (빵호빵).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 7Healing Touch : Healing Touch, only without a Cleric, in place of Marchutan’s Wrath: party heal at 40 m every 30 s, 5 debuffs removed from tier 15.
