Beginner tips

  1. Watch the tank’s health first, then the group.
  2. Use downtime between heals for damage.
  3. Cleanse dangerous debuffs quickly.
  4. Solo: your self-healing lets you take fights slowly but safely.
  5. Fill your Stigma slots as they open (Lv. 22, 27, 32, 37) — see the Stigma guide.
  6. Spend Daevanion points early — see Daevanion boards.

FAQ

Is the Cleric the main healer in AION 2?

Yes. Nine community guides agree the Cleric is the dedicated healer.

Is the Cleric good for solo play?

It is safe thanks to self-healing, but slow because its damage is low. Mein-MMO even calls it a good solo class for this reason.

Is the Cleric good for beginners?

Two guides rate it easy, but healing means the group depends on you.

Where are the Cleric skills and Stigma builds?

We publish skill and Stigma details only after verifying them against official NC sources or client data. Until then the sections below are marked as pending verification.
