Brawler Leveling 1-55: the best AION 2 build

Flurry on left click for Rage, Roundhouse on right click, a charged Exploding Fist then Rampage from 100 Rage; Whirlwind (15% drain with spec 1 since Nov 13) and Sever Bloodstream to survive, Ferocity to restart. Past level 20 you don't tune anything for the “normal state”: a built Brawler lives in Rampage.

Rotation and macro

Right click with Ascending Blow

  1. Step 1: X2, Exploding Fist, Ascending Blow, Chain Fist, Roundhouse
  2. looping, 10 ms
ConsumablesF1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8X: auto potion
Why this macro, step by step

Same logic as the early macro, with Ascending Blow, your biggest hit (10 s cooldown since Nov 11), slotted second: Exploding Fist first for Rage, then the big hit as soon as it is back, then Chain Fist and Roundhouse. With its spec 8-1, Ascending Blow dashes to the target: then only put it in the macro if you survive diving into packs (Inven 208); otherwise fire it by hand.

  1. Exploding Fist : First for Rage: its 10 s cooldown drops to about 5 s with cooldown reduction, and in Rampage it alone offsets the Rage drained every second (Inven 207 calculation).
  2. Ascending Blow : Your biggest hit: in second place it fires as soon as it is back. With its spec 8-1 (+16 m range) it is a rush: take it out of the macro if it gets you killed in packs.
  3. Chain Fist : Second damage source; outside Rampage it waits for a critical hit, the macro picks it up as soon as it is live.
  4. Roundhouse : Filler: in Rampage each of its hits shortens Chain Fist's cooldown, which keeps the loop turning.
Keep it manual
  • Ferocity, Phantom and Pulverize (stigmas): they are 60–90 s cooldown buffs to stack at the start of Rampage; fired at random by the macro they land outside the window (Inven 3239).
  • Sever Bloodstream: your emergency heal (30% HP drain); Ground Smash no longer drains since Nov 13, the 15% drain moves to Whirlwind's spec 8-1.
How to set it up in game

Add Ascending Blow at the top if charging into packs doesn't kill you; otherwise keep it manual (Inven 208).

  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.

Picked for you: made for: Solo and leveling

Why this bar
  • LMBFlurry : Held together with the macro: its hits cancel the end of skill animations (the “LB” cancel of Korean guides). Outside Rampage it is also your Rage source (+10 per hit).
  • QSever Bloodstream › Sweeping Kick : Changed for your build: its Stigmas take the place of Focused Block, which the class template had.
  • EPulverize › Whirlwind : Changed for your build: its Stigmas take the place of Surging Cleave, which the class template had.
  • X1Typhoon Flurry : On a separate key, held only during the groggy: since Nov 11 spec 16 only takes 0.5 s off Mastery skills (it used to take 1 s off every cooldown).
  • X2Exploding Fist › Ascending Blow › Chain Fist › Roundhouse : Ascending Blow then Exploding Fist, by hand right after a “투기” source (Rampage, Sweeping Kick, Ground Smash): +150% PvE damage (NC, Nov 11; Inven 4324).
  • RRampage › Ferocity : Rampage then Ferocity on two neighbouring keys: under 100 Rage, Ferocity first (it fills the gauge) then Rampage; at 100 or more, Rampage first (DC Inside).
