Templar Offensive tank: the best AION 2 build

Maximize Judgment uptime (shield windows), Executor and Battlefield Banner, and run offensive stigmas. This is how Korea's high-DPS Templars play — they sometimes out-damage Gladiators (Inven, 09/2026).

Arcana

Recommended for this build

  • Set de cartes (global) : Vigueur primordiale ou Armure magique

    The global client only has two sets (Game8, Sep 30): Primordial Vigor (cards “of Vigor”: PvE Attack +60 with 2 cards, +150 with 4 if HP ≥ 70%) and Magic Armor (cards “of Magic”: 1,500 MP restored below 20%, PvE Defense +1,000 with 4 cards if MP ≥ 50%). couga54 (Oct 3): favor the set's damage effects, the Templar's survivability is enough; the best Koreans mostly wear Magic cards with a Chalice of Vigor (AION2 Meta, Oct 1: 74 to 98%). The Korean sets Guardian, Punishment and Indomitable do not exist on Global. Cards of the top 9 Global Templars on Nov 13 (official sheets), nearly all at +5: Chalice of Vigor (9 of 9), Bell of Magic (8), Parchment of Vigor (5) or of Magic (4), Compass of Magic (5) or of Vigor (4), Mirror of Vigor (5) or of Magic (4). MetaBot (3,741, Nov 12): Chalice of Vigor 69%, Parchment of Vigor 49%, Bell of Magic 46%, Compass of Vigor 43%, Mirror of Vigor 37%. They pick each card for its deity stat more than for the set bonus.

  • Manuscrit

    Judgment, Vicious Strike, Punishment: the key card to bring Judgment and its partners up to 16–20 (Aion 2 Maps, couga54, Vortex/Inven).

  • Boussole

    Pummel, Warding Strike (couga54: Pummel and Shield Smite): completes the levels of the clicks and of the Judgment trigger.

  • Cloche

    Fury and Insulting Roar (couga54: Fury and Punishing Benediction); the Bell of Magic gives Destruction (Attack).

  • Miroir

    Impact Hit; the Mirror of Magic gives Wisdom (Smite), the Templar's #1 divine stat.

  • Calice

    All skills: fills the missing level of the main skill furthest behind; the Chalice of Vigor gives Time (Combat Speed).

Why this macro, step by step

Pummel stays in the Judgment entry, at the top: with the left click held, Vicious Strike cancels every Judgment (“맹심”), the strongest chain since Sep 16. Doom Shield, under Annihilate, fires when it is dark and resets it: Annihilate, Doom Shield, Annihilate. Entry C keeps Banner and Noble Armor up on every cooldown. Unlike the tank: Doom Shield and the buffs go into the macro, and Pummel returns to the line.

  1. Judgment : Priority 0: it fires in every 2 s window a shield hit opens (3 s after Doom Shield).
  2. Warding Strike : Opens Judgment for 2 s, heals and grants Warding; held Vicious Strike takes 2 s off its cooldown per hit (level 12 pick).
  3. Shield Smite : Opens Judgment for 2 s every 8 s and stuns: it is also what lights up Annihilate.
  4. Pummel : At the top: it only fires when nothing else is ready; in the same entry as Judgment, it gives the “맹심” cancel with the held left click.
  5. Annihilate : As soon as its 5% chance lights it up, +100% against the immune boss with its pick.
  6. Doom Shield : When Annihilate is dark: Judgment for 3 s and a new Annihilate chance (tier 5). Take it out if it rushes you at the wrong time.
  7. Battlefield Banner : Recast on every cooldown after the manual opener.
  8. Noble Armor : A 120 s buff on a 120 s cooldown: the entry keeps it up permanently.
Keep it manual
  • Opener: Noble Armor, Banner before you arrive, Taunt at 20 m, fully charged Punishment.
  • Punishment on its own key, held to the last stage, between two Judgment windows: a macro step would fire it at the first stage.
  • Taunt on every cooldown; Poach and Shield Rush to get back to the boss; Defiance against a stun or a grab.
How to set it up in game

Left click (Vicious Strike) and macro key held; the macro presses three 10 ms entries: A (Judgment line), B (Annihilate, Doom Shield), C (Banner, Noble Armor). Cast both buffs by hand to open, the macro recasts them afterwards. Take entry C out for a trash-heavy run.

  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 Maps, Macro tab of the Templar guide (updated 8 Nov 2026), a synthesis of creators; its Stigmas (Taunt, Banner, Doom Shield, Noble Armor) are this build’s core. Entries A and B confirmed by 아일랜드’s screenshot (Inven, Sep 16); entry C has only this source.

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

Why this bar
  • RMBJudgment › Warding Strike › Shield Smite › Pummel : Judgment line, 1st macro entry (bottom slot = priority): Judgment in every window, Warding Strike and Shield Smite to reopen it, Pummel at the top to fill the gaps.
  • QShield Rush › Poach : After a dodge, Shield Rush (opens Judgment for 2 s); otherwise Poach to bring back a target or get back to the boss (boss specialization: moves you to an immune target).
  • EAnnihilate › Doom Shield : Annihilate line, 2nd entry: Annihilate as soon as it lights up (stunned or knocked-down target, 5% on a boss); otherwise Doom Shield, which opens Judgment for 3 s and resets Annihilate (tier 5).
  • 1Taunt : Taunt on every cooldown (30 s, 25 s at tier 15), at 20 m: threat and Shrink on the boss (Attack −10%, PvE Damage Tolerance −10% at tier 5), so extra damage for the whole party.
  • 3Defiance : Defiance: against the crowd control that would cost you the boss; Koreans keep it for the big knockdown slam (Inven, Oct 5).
  • 4Debilitating Smash : Debilitating Smash: after a block (Defense −25% on 4 enemies for 5 s); with Shield Smite's specialization, it fires by itself half the time.
  • 5Punishment › Flash Rampage : Punishment, held until fully charged (it fires by itself at the last stage): 4 targets and Executor for 20 s (Accuracy +200, PvE Damage Boost +20%). Flash Rampage above it fires from the same key during the groggy while Punishment is on cooldown (빵호빵).
  • RBattlefield Banner › Noble Armor : Battlefield Banner: Attack based on your Defense for 10 s (Weapon Damage Boost +10% at tier 10); by hand for the opener and damage windows, or as the macro's 3rd entry for comfort.
