Assassin build · Solo PvE and farming

Assassin Solo farm: the best AION 2 build

At tier 10, Throw Shadowblade resets on every kill: you jump from mob to mob while Savage Roar, Quick Slice and Insignia Explosion clear the pack (4 targets). Savage Fang engraves 5 Insignia at once. The go-to build for pet souls, Abyss contracts and daily missions.

Rotation and macro

Farming at 45: Savage Fang as the first step

Macro by aion2mapsSingle 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: Q, Savage Fang
  2. Step 2: RMB, Insignia Explosion, Heart Gore, Savage Roar
  3. looping, 10 ms
ConsumablesF1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8X: auto potion
Why this macro, step by step

aion2maps allows only one entry beyond the base line, and offers Savage Fang "as the first entry" so the first Explosion goes off at 5 Insignias, except in a stagger-check fight. Farming has none: Fang fires on arrival at each pack and the following Explosion hits at 5. In dungeons its 60 s cooldown must follow the Clone and the gauge, which is why the dungeon macro keeps it manual. Fang sits on its own step rather than at the head of the line: that is how the guide places it, and line B stays the one every other build uses.

  1. Savage Fang : Step 1, alone on its key: 5 Insignias at once as you reach the pack (60 s); while it is on cooldown the macro moves on to step 2.
  2. Insignia Explosion : Step 2, priority 0: fires right after Fang, at 5 Insignias.
  3. Heart Gore : Priority 1: brought back by every crit on the pack, restores 100 MP.
  4. Savage Roar : Priority 2: area filler that engraves the Insignias again.
Keep it manual
  • Throw Shadowblade (tier 10): onto the next pack as soon as a monster dies.
  • Illusive Clone and Swift Contract: big packs and elites only.
How to set it up in game

Farming preset, two 10 ms steps: key A with Savage Fang alone, then key B with the base line (Insignia Explosion 0, Heart Gore 1, Savage Roar 2). Left click held; Throw Shadowblade stays on its own key, between packs.

  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

aion2maps, Macro tab (updated Nov 8, 2026): "Savage Fang before you hold the keys, or as the macro's first entry […] except in a fight with a stagger check". Grobs' video, cited earlier, could not be re-read.

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

Why this bar
  • LMBQuick Slice : Quick Slice and its chain: hold it together with the macro key. Each hit restores 100 to 120 MP and, with the level-12 pick, takes 1 s off Insignia Explosion; woven between skills, it cuts their animation tails.
  • RMBInsignia Explosion › Heart Gore › Savage Roar : The macro line: Insignia Explosion (priority 0), Heart Gore (1), Savage Roar (2). The stack fires the first ready skill: the Explosion as soon as it is back, Heart Gore after every crit, the Roar to fill. Ambush second only once it has been raised (Hoppang, IruMinaTi).
  • QSavage Fang : Savage Fang then Triniel's Dagger, two presses right after the buffs: Fang engraves 5 Insignias, then the Dagger (tier 10) cuts the cooldowns already running by 10%, Fang's included (Inven 24247 test). For your build: without Triniel's Dagger, which it doesn't equip.
  • EStorm Rampage : Storm Rampage: only on a staggered boss, hold it for the whole window; −1 s on all cooldowns per hit at level 16. Off the macro line so it doesn't cost the line hits (Hoppang).
  • 1Swift Contract › Illusive Clone : Burst: Swift Contract then Illusive Clone, two presses. The Contract first: under +20% Combat Speed, the Clone's animation is shorter (Hoppang, aion2maps).
  • 2Shadowstrike › Infiltrate : Back behind the target: Shadowstrike (20 m, 3 s stun, +20% crit damage for 10 s with the level-8 pick) whenever it is back; if it is on cooldown, Infiltrate after a dodge.
  • 3Flash Slice : Flash Slice: when you end up facing the boss, it takes you to the far side, so behind it (2 charges at level 12).
  • 4Ambush : Ambush on its own key (aion2maps): from behind, +30% damage and a 3% HP absorb (level-8 pick), each time it is back; in the line it makes the Assassin stutter while it is still low.
  • 5Whirlwind Slice : Whirlwind Slice: lights up right after a successful evade; a short rush that keeps you in melee (+16 m with the level-8 pick).
  • 6Defiance : Defiance: frees you from a stun, grab or knockdown, then 5 s of status immunity; also on a mouse button so you react without letting go of the macro (Hoppang).
  • 7Shadow Fall : Shadow Fall: rush onto a stunned target within 10 m and a 3 s knockdown; 10% HP absorb with the level-8 pick, to heal yourself solo.
  • 8Throw Shadowblade : Situational Stigma: Evasion Stance (evades everything for a moment, 2 charges at tier 5) for progression and Ludra, or Throw Shadowblade in the farming preset. For your build: without Evasion Stance, which it doesn't equip.
