AION 2 Templar Build & Guide

AION 2 Global Templar build guide for level 45: role, core skills, four-Stigma PvE baseline, combat loop, stat direction and common mistakes.

Updated 6 Oct 2026 · KST

Templar now has a real Global level-45 baseline instead of a launch preview. Use this as the PvE starting point, then adjust for your party, encounter and current gear.

Role Main tank

Range Melee

Core loop Judgment activation windows

Party value Fury party damage buff + Taunt

Level 45 PvE build

Skill priority: Judgment → Vicious Strike → Pummel → Punishment → Warding Strike.
Stigma baseline: Taunt · Battlefield Banner · Doom Shield · Empyrean Lord's Punishment.
Passive priority: Fury → Insulting Roar / Impact Hit / Punishing Benediction → Enhance Health / Ironclad Defense.
Stat direction: Front Attack Damage Boost → Smite → Weapon Damage Boost ≈ Critical Damage Boost.

How to play

Stay in front and keep threat through your normal attacks instead of treating tanking as Taunt-only.
Use shield skills to switch Judgment on, then spend the short Judgment window immediately.
Charge Punishment manually for its damage and buff window instead of letting movement interrupt it.
Block real boss hits to trigger Fury and keep Taunt / Shrink available when control matters.

Common mistakes

Saving defensive tools so long that Fury uptime and party value collapse.
Missing Judgment windows after shield skills.
Copying a pure-DPS setup and dropping the tools that make Templar the main tank.
