Combat Roles & Meta Philosophy
Abyss Dungeons & Raid Bosses (PvE)
In 6-player and 24-man Abyss raids, the Templar is the irreplaceable anchor. Keep Taunting Roar on cooldown, position bosses facing away from the group, and rotate Iron Skin with Divine Chastisement during berserk phases.
Open-World & Fortress Sieges (PvP)
In 1v1 and group PvP, swap to a Greatsword to deliver heavy stagger pressure. Open with Doom Lure to isolate squishy enemy Casters or Clerics, followed by Shield Bash and Break Power knockdown chains.
Key Rotation & Execution Rules
- ✦ Always maintain Taunting Roar aggro stacks before popping high-threat DPS bursts.
- ✦ Use Unwavering Will preemptively when engaging crowd-control heavy groups.
- ✦ Chain Shield Counter immediately after a successful shield block for guaranteed stuns.
Frequently Asked Questions: Templar
Expert answers to common questions about Templar weapons, Stigma links, and battle tactics in AION 2.
Should Templars use Greatsword or Sword and Shield in AION 2?
Sword and Shield is mandatory for high-tier PvE dungeon tanking and Abyss fortress raids to enable shield block mitigations and counter-stuns. Greatsword is favored in PvP or solo grinding for its superior reach, stagger chances, and offensive burst.
What is the best PvE Stigma build for Abyss fortress raids?
The optimal raid tank setup prioritizes Iron Skin (damage reduction), Divine Chastisement (retaliation & threat), and Unwavering Will (CC purge), paired with Taunting Roar and Shield Counter to maintain absolute aggro control.
How does Doom Lure work in PvP skirmishes?
Doom Lure hooks an enemy target up to 18 meters away directly to your feet, inflicting a 50% movement slow for 4 seconds. It is the premier tool for breaking enemy backline formations and picking off enemy Sorcerers or Clerics.
What are the core stat priorities for end-game Templar gear?
Prioritize Shield Block until reaching the 50% block cap against tier-appropriate boss accuracy, followed by Physical Defense, Max HP, and sufficient Accuracy to prevent taunt misses.
