Templar Leveling: the best AION 2 build

Keep both mouse-button skills at the highest level allowed, secure your mana (MP specializations on Vicious Strike and Shield Smite), then add Punishment from level 14 and the shield → Judgment loop. Offensive stigmas from level 22, one per slot as they unlock.

Stats to aim for

in priority order; your value when your sheet gives it

  1. 1AttaqueTo kill faster solo: the Templar farms slowly.
  2. 2PM (mana)Via the specs (Vicious Strike +20%, Shield Smite +200) rather than via gear.
  3. 3PV / BlocageSufficient by default; Block triggers Fury and Debilitating Smash.
Known thresholds and caps
  • No Global threshold published for leveling.
  • Common advice: don't upgrade leveling gear beyond +5 and extract it before replacing it (KR blogs, EN guides) — to be confirmed on the Global client.
