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

  • 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, Boussole, Cloche, Miroir et Calice

    Same cards as the main tank: levels of Judgment and its partners, Fury, Insulting Roar and Impact Hit; Enhance Health and Warding Shield come from the soul-binding lines.

Rotation and macro

Dungeon without a Cleric: the tank macro, protections by hand

Adapted from the AION 2 Meta tank macroInferred

  • 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, Judgment, Warding Strike, Shield Smite
  2. Step 2: E, Annihilate
  3. looping, 10 ms
ConsumablesF1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8X: auto potion
Why this macro, step by step

Same macro as the dungeon tank: no source publishes a macro for a Cleric-less party, and the Judgment line gains nothing from changing when you play more defensively. Warding Strike stays right behind Judgment: every cast heals you and grants Warding (PvE Damage Tolerance +20% for 10 s). What changes is played by hand: Nezekan’s Shield for the party, Noble Armor’s instant heal, and Shield of Protection, whose every block triggers Warding Shield’s heals.

  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. Annihilate : Alone in its entry: it fires as soon as its 5% chance lights it up on the boss.
Keep it manual
  • Nezekan’s Shield before a big area hit; Noble Armor for its instant heal.
  • Shield of Protection before every big frontal hit; Second Skin if the boss hits very hard.
  • Taunt, charged Punishment, Poach and Shield Rush.
How to set it up in game

Same two entries as the tank (A: Judgment, Warding Strike, Shield Smite; B: Annihilate), 10 ms, left click held. Nezekan’s Shield, Noble Armor and Shield of Protection on nearby keys.

  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

Reuses AION 2 Meta’s tank macro (12 Nov 2026) unchanged; only the manual keys follow this build’s defensive Stigmas.

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

Why this bar
  • LMBVicious Strike : Vicious Strike, held with the macro: its chain restores 100 to 120 MP, each hit cuts Warding Strike's cooldown by 2 s (level 12 specialization) and it is what cancels Judgment (“맹심”).
  • RMBJudgment › Warding Strike › Shield Smite : 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).
  • 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.
  • 2Shield of Protection : Shield of Protection right before a big frontal hit: guaranteed block (twice at tier 5), Fury for the party and Debilitating Smash. Templars who run Noble Armor instead keep it up permanently (120 s).
  • 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).
  • RNezekan's Shield : Changed for your build: its Stigmas take the place of Battlefield Banner, which the class template had.
