Best Cleric Build in AION 2: Damage Setup, Full Support & PvP

What is the best Cleric build in AION 2?

The best Cleric build is the damage setup most Clerics already run: Earth Punishment, Light of Protection, Prayer of Amplification and Noble Aura as stigmas, with Condemnation as your main damage skill and heals kept on their own keys. The real choices are how much damage to trade for healing, and what to swap for PvP:

This page compares the builds behind that answer. For skill specializations, the macro and which stigmas fit your party, use the Cleric PvE build.

How do the top-rated Cleric builds compare?

The most-liked public Cleric builds on questlog.gg (Global) come from MrRosaPony, whelps, Th3Ruthless and marx0310. Likes were checked on 2026-10-11. MrRosaPony’s PvE build has more likes than the next five builds combined.

Th3Ruthless’ builds leave every active skill at 10 and differ only in their stigmas; his skill advice is in his videos. The wider numbers match the top builds. Of the 501 public Cleric skill builds with exactly four stigmas on the bar, 270 (54%) run the four damage stigmas and nothing else. The next most common bar is the PvP set with Salvation and Voice of Doom (38 builds), and the third is Th3Ruthless’ full support set (17 builds).

When is a full support Cleric build worth it?

When your party keeps dying, not by default. The Cleric creators we checked all play the damage setup in groups that know the fights, as the Cleric hub explains. The full support build is for the groups that do not.

Players lean the same way. Of the 501 four-stigma builds, 327 (65%) run no support stigma at all, 119 (24%) swap in one or two, and 55 (11%) run three or more. These are the four support stigmas, from the client data:

Going halfway. Many builds that add support swap out just one damage stigma. The most common single swaps in the public builds are Absolution for Light of Protection, Summon Resurrection for Prayer of Amplification, and Benevolence for Light of Protection. The creators each have a rule for when:

• Th3Ruthless: in a group without a Chanter that needs more healing than the damage setup gives, take Absolution instead of Prayer of Amplification. In random groups, add Summon Resurrection if the party is prone to deaths or asks for it.
• whelps: if you want Summon Resurrection or Yustiel’s Power, drop Noble Aura for it. With a Chanter in the party, drop Light of Protection for it instead.
• Lucia skips Summon Resurrection with random players. They often use a resurrection stone while she is casting, which leaves the stigma on its 2-minute cooldown for nothing.

Going all the way. Th3Ruthless’ “PvE - Full Support” build keeps only Light of Protection from the damage setup and adds Benevolence, Absolution and Yustiel’s Power. It also levels Summon Resurrection to 20 without slotting it. zeminah’s build of the same name adds one rule: switch out Light of Protection when a Chanter is in the party, because the buffs overlap. The Cleric PvE page has a stigma table for each kind of party.

What is the best Cleric build for PvP?

Earth Punishment, Light of Protection, Salvation and Voice of Doom. Of the 75 public Cleric builds named for PvP that slot stigmas, 61 slot Salvation, 61 Earth Punishment, 59 Light of Protection and 46 Voice of Doom. All 38 builds that run exactly those four are PvP builds, and MrRosaPony’s “Skill Set Cleric PVP” (7 likes) is one of them.

The two PvP stigmas do jobs nothing in the PvE setup covers:

MrRosaPony’s build notes explain how he plays it:

• Keep Light of Protection on. It stays toggled in PvP, just as in PvE.
• A smaller macro. Only Chain of Torment and Judgment Thunder go in it for damage, plus your heals for sustain. The debuffs are pressed by hand.
• Time your debuffs against the enemy’s cleanse. Use the weaker debuffs to bait the cleanse out. Once it is on cooldown, land Earth Punishment, so Condemnation always crits, and Voice of Doom, so the target cannot heal through your damage.
• Defiance is for the moment you can swing a fight and get crowd-controlled. Track the enemy’s crowd-control cooldowns so a follow-up does not catch you.
• Salvation is your emergency button. At level 5, its +100% Incoming Heal lets you heal back to full: use it at low HP, recover, then go back on the attack.

His summary: when a PvP Cleric dies, nine times out of ten it is because they did not manage their cooldowns and the enemy’s crowd control.

Two other creators take a different line. Th3Ruthless’ “PvP- 5vs5 - Arena” build is more defensive: Salvation, Absolution, Light of Protection and Yustiel’s Power, without Earth Punishment or Voice of Doom. marx0310’s “PVP Heal Dps + Macro” runs Root, Earth Punishment, Prayer of Amplification and Yustiel’s Power.

Which Cleric build fits your situation?

Pick the build that matches where you are:

• Leveling to 45: the stigma slots unlock at character levels 22, 27, 32 and 37, according to aLuckyRO. Lucia’s goal is every skill at 12 by the time you finish the regional quests at 45.
• Just reached 45: start from aLuckyRO’s early skill targets on the Cleric PvE page, then move to marx0310’s “EARLY PVE Heal Dps + Macro”. It slots the four damage stigmas at 5–10 and puts the main skills at 16.
• A party that knows the fights: whelps’ “Cleric DPS”. His notes list a specialization for every skill and the order to level passives.
• The long-term goal: MrRosaPony’s “Skill Set Cleric PVE”, with every active skill except Lightning Strike Scattershot at 20.
• With a Chanter: Th3Ruthless’ “My PVE BUILD With Chanter ADVANCED”, which takes Absolution instead of Light of Protection.
• Random groups: Th3Ruthless’ “My PVE Random Groups”, with a flex slot for Light of Protection, Benevolence or Summon Resurrection.
• A party that keeps dying: Th3Ruthless’ “PvE - Full Support”.
• PvP: MrRosaPony’s “Skill Set Cleric PVP”, or Th3Ruthless’ arena build for a more defensive setup.

What gear and Daevanion go with the best build?

The build needs Condemnation at 20, so gear matters as much as skill points. Skill points stop at 10, and up to four more levels come from the Cleric Daevanion boards. The rest come from skill lines on rings and Arcana: Condemnation is the one line every top Cleric build has on both rings, as the Cleric gear guide shows. To compare the Cleric with the other healer and the rest of the classes, see the AION 2 classes overview.

Where does this build comparison come from?

• Builds and like counts: public Global Cleric skill builds on questlog.gg (checked 2026-10-11), including MrRosaPony’s PvE and PvP builds, whelps’ “Cleric DPS”, Th3Ruthless’ Full Support, Dps Support, With Chanter, No Chanter, Random Groups and 5v5 Arena builds, and marx0310’s early PvE and PvP builds.
• Stigma shares: the stigmas on the skill bar in 581 of the 900 public Global Cleric skill builds that questlog.gg’s search returns (it lists 927), counted on 2026-10-11. 501 of them have exactly four. PvP builds were picked out by their names.
• Stigma effects: the Global client data in questlog.gg’s skill builder.
• Reasoning: MrRosaPony’s and whelps’ build notes, Th3Ruthless’ The ONLY AION 2 Cleric Guide You’ll Ever Need (2026-09-24) and build notes, Lucia’s Aion 2 Cleric Guide from a Worlds 1st Rank 1 (2026-10-04) and aLuckyRO’s Latest Cleric PvE Build for Global (2026-10-02).
