AION 2 Cleric PvE build: healing and Condemnation

For Cleric PvE, keep your heals available while building a damage window around Chain of Torment, Earth Punishment and Condemnation. The planned guaranteed-critical loop combines total Condemnation 12 with its reset Specialty selected and the relevant Earth Punishment level-5 effect.

Status: Single source for a complete build recommendation. The references agree on core interactions but differ on point allocation and situational choices. Some reuse creator material or the same client data. The full November 4 notes list no named Cleric skill changes; the detailed skill reference still identifies an October 28 client. Hizzle has not tested this setup in-game.

Get the Condemnation interaction working

There are three separate checks:

1. A valid target: Condemnation selects a target afflicted with Chain of Torment. A target being nearby is not the whole requirement.
2. A selected reset: at total Condemnation 12, select the Specialty that resets its cooldown on a critical hit. An unlocked option does nothing if it is not equipped.
3. The critical-hit condition: Earth Punishment at Stigma level 5 makes Condemnation land as a critical hit on the target afflicted with Earth Punishment, according to the client-data reference.

The reset requires a critical hit; Earth Punishment 5 supplies the documented guaranteed-critical condition during its effect. Put both effects on the intended target before expecting that planned sequence. If an effect expires, the target changes or the reset Specialty is missing, the conditions are different. A copied macro cannot supply a missing skill rank or effect.

Ordinary active-skill points reach base rank 10 in the referenced system. Total 12 includes bonus ranks from progression or equipment. Review reachable Daevanion skill nodes and useful equipment lines before paying for a replacement. At total 12, you have two active Specialty slots; a third comes at total 20. Do not copy three selected options into a two-slot setup.

Pick one four-Stigma set

Use a mace and choose a loadout for the group you actually have. The following are community starting choices, with four equipped Stigmas in each set:

• Learning group, Cleric supplies the relevant party aura: Earth Punishment, Light of Protection, Noble Aura, Summon Resurrection.
• Offensive group, Cleric supplies the relevant party aura: Earth Punishment, Light of Protection, Noble Aura, Prayer of Amplification.
• Learning group, Chanter supplies the stronger/equal shared damage buff: Earth Punishment, Prayer of Amplification, Noble Aura, Summon Resurrection, subject to the aura checks below.

These are alternatives, not a combined shopping list. If you need an additional emergency heal, discuss a different four-slot set with the group. The creator-derived reference describes an offensive Chanter-party variant using Earth Punishment, Prayer of Amplification, Noble Aura and Absolution. The right trade depends on whether damage, recovery or resurrection is the problem.

A Chanter does not make every Cleric effect redundant

The Light of Protection tooltip says its Damage Boost does not stack with the corresponding effect from Undefeated Mantra. The higher skill level applies; at equal levels, Undefeated Mantra takes precedence.

Check the actual ranks and effects before removing a skill. The tooltip names a particular overlapping component. It does not establish that every defensive or additional rank effect is duplicated. UNSURE: a universal rule that the whole Light of Protection slot is useless whenever any Chanter joins.

Hizzle's recommendation: agree which character supplies the shared damage buff, then inspect what you would lose and what the replacement adds. A coordinated swap is more useful than two players assuming the other aura is active.

Keep the recovery buttons within reach

Healing Light restores HP to the caster and the lowest-HP party member in range in the referenced tooltip. Radiant Recovery heals nearby party members and removes a debuff, with selectable Specialty options changing the result. Read the option you have equipped rather than assuming every online cleanse count applies to your preset.

Use Light of Regeneration for continuing recovery, while keeping Healing Light and Radiant Recovery manually accessible. The authored guide emphasizes stopping the damage sequence when the party needs help. A timed damage window does not make an endangered teammate less urgent.

Hizzle's preparation checklist: put healing, cleansing and movement where you can reach them while watching the fight. Before a pull, know which dangerous mechanic needs a recovery cooldown and which must be avoided. No healing setup is a guarantee that lethal mechanics can be ignored.

A simple pull and damage window

1. Confirm the party's aura and resurrection plan. Establish a safe position before using a long cast.
2. Apply your chosen continuing heal/aura preparation as appropriate.
3. Use offensive preparation when you can attack safely. Put Chain of Torment and Earth Punishment on the intended target.
4. Use Condemnation while the required effects and selected reset are available.
5. During gaps, use your other damage skills or Earth's Retribution when MP recovery is needed.
6. Interrupt this priority for healing, cleansing, movement or an encounter mechanic.

This is a starting priority, not a fixed timer script. Sources disagree about how much Bolt or Judgment Thunder belongs inside a developed boss loop. Keep those situational decisions separate from getting the basic Condemnation conditions right.

Resurrection, gear and the next upgrades

Tell teammates whether you carry Summon Resurrection and agree how it fits their own revival tools. Creator accounts describe casts being wasted when a teammate revives first. UNSURE: every interaction with Hard-mode revive counters and every current Ludra restriction. Do not promise that a Cleric bypasses a dungeon's revival rules.

For a developing character, the community allocation prioritizes the main attacks and recovery tools, with Empyrean Lord's Grace, Earth's Grace and Healing Enhancement among passive investments. Exact point splits, healing stat weights, final gear and Arcana remain UNSURE here. Review AION 2 gear upgrades: belt, amulet and spending and preserve useful skill-rank lines while you work toward your next milestone.

Use the game's in-client controls from AION 2 settings for clearer combat. A precise macro delay, perfect damage result or third-party meter is not required by this guide.
