Recommended for this build

    Same priorities as the dungeon build: Overhead Slam, Rending Blow and Ruinous at level 20, then passives; same card sets (Primordial Vigor or Magic Armor).

Rotation and macro

Ludra: the boss macro, Focused Block for the red orb

Macro by AION 2 MetaSingle source

  • Group
  • From level 45
  • 4 Stigmas out of 4

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

  1. Step 1: RMB, Sword Aura Rampage, Rending Blow
  2. Step 2: E, Rage Burst, Overhead Slam
  3. looping, 10 ms
ConsumablesF1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8X: auto potion
Why this macro, step by step

Same macro as the Dungeon DPS build: guides publish none specific to Ludra and do not change it, because the raid is played on the same Rage Burst then Overhead Slam cycle against a knockdown-immune boss. What changes is manual: Focused Block stays the stance for the red orb, and buffs are kept for phases where the Reactor takes damage (2 h per attempt since Nov 11, so no reason to fire them early). Medium confidence: the macro is cross-checked for bosses, not for Ludra.

  1. Sword Aura Rampage : Only fires during the groggy: at the top, it takes over while the boss is staggered, then lets Rending Blow carry on.
  2. Rending Blow : Always-ready filler: it fires whenever nothing higher is available and keeps threat.
  3. Rage Burst : Priority slot of line B: it fires as soon as it is off cooldown and switches Overhead Slam on for 10 s, even on a knockdown-immune boss.
  4. Overhead Slam : Under Rage Burst: for its 10 s, line B only casts Overhead Slam (and Upward Strike), with no cooldown at level 16.
Keep it manual
  • Lunge Stance and Zikel's Blessing stacked on one key, pressed at the start of every damage window, never before an invulnerability.
  • Ruinous Blow on the pull, right after the buffs, then on every cooldown (Prepare for Battle 20 s).
  • Focused Block right before a telegraphed hit; Defiance against a lethal control.
  • Leaping Slam and Rush Strike to get back on the boss.
How to set it up in game

Two macro entries, 10 ms each: line A then line B. Hold the macro key with left click (Keen Strike), skill queue on. Lunge Stance and Zikel's Blessing stacked on one buff key. Option: Aerial Snare between Rage Burst and Overhead Slam in line B (just below Overhead Slam in the stack) (fewer Overhead Slams, about 5% more damage per the guide).

  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

AION 2 Meta's boss macro (Oct 23, page updated Nov 12); the same two lines appear in Ulfhednar's Global video of Oct 6 as reported by couga54 (Ulfhednar also puts Ruinous Blow and the buffs in a macro line). No ranked player is named.

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

Why this bar
  • RMBSword Aura Rampage › Rending Blow : The macro line (bottom slot = priority): Sword Aura Rampage during the groggy, Rage Burst on every cooldown to switch Overhead Slam back on, Ruinous Blow for Prepare for Battle, Rending Blow the rest of the time.
  • QFocused Block : Focused Block right before a telegraphed hit: guaranteed parry, MP and Stamina back, Experienced Counterstrike for the party if there is no Templar. 7 of the 9 top Global Gladiators run it (Oct 5).
  • ERage Burst › Overhead Slam : Overhead Slam alone on its key, held: it fires as soon as Rage Burst or a knockdown switches it on, without waiting for its turn in the line; Upward Strike follows on the same key.
  • 1Rush Strike › Leaping Slam : Gap closers: after a dodge, Rush Strike (20 m with its specialization); otherwise Leaping Slam (20 m, Prepare for Battle for 3 s with its boss specialization).
  • 3Crushing Wave : Crushing Wave, for packs: 4 targets within 5 m, drain from its specialization, reset on crit at level 12.
  • 4Mocking Blade : Mocking Blade: knocks down a target that isn't immune (Overhead Slam window); on a boss, its specialization drains 15% of your HP: your emergency heal.
  • 5Defiance : Defiance: against the stun or knockdown that would kill you; no cooldown reduction shortens it, so don't waste it.
  • 6Aerial Snare : Aerial Snare: on a knocked-down target (PvP, elites); on bosses, 빵호빵 puts it in the priority slot of the Overhead Slam key for about +5% DPS.
  • 7Ankle Slice : Ankle Slice: only after a successful block; with its specialization (+16 m), it brings you back to a boss that moved away.
  • RLunge Stance › Zikel's Blessing : The two buffs, two presses in a row when the boss can be hit: Lunge Stance (Combat Speed +20%, 60 s) then Zikel's Blessing (Attack +100%, 120 s, so every other time).
