Aion 2 Cleric: role and playstyle
“A holy shepherd who preserves life with the gentle touch of light”
Cleric is the pure healer. NC describes a holy shepherd who preserves life with light, and MetaBot's client reading calls it the only pure healer on the roster. Thirteen of its skills reach 20 m, so you can heal and fight from behind the front line.

Tier position
Editorial Source These are our ratings, built from published opinion lists and the facts above, not measured clear times. The sources disagree for some classes, and the reasons say where. The full ranking is on the tier list.
| Mode | Rating | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PvE (group) | S | MetaBot places Cleric in group PvE tier S, and it is the only pure healer. |
| PvP | Sieges | MetaBot's Abyss kit analysis rates Cleric, Chanter and Templar as valuable in sieges. It is analysis, not win rates. |
| Solo | B | MetaBot scores solo 3 of 5, tied for lowest. KeenGamer gives A overall. Our verdict is viable but slow. |
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- The only pure healer on the roster. Client-data
- Thirteen skills reach 20 m, so you can stay behind the party. Client-data
- Wanted in every group: MetaBot gives it group PvE tier S. Third-party opinion
Weaknesses
- Some of the lowest personal damage of the eight, per community guides. Third-party opinion
- Slow solo, with a MetaBot solo score of 3 of 5. Third-party opinion
Who should pick Cleric
- You want to be the healer in a four-player group.
- You enjoy keeping others alive and reacting to what the party needs.
- You are comfortable with a role that is more valuable in a group than alone.
Who should look elsewhere
- You mostly want to solo and kill quickly. The tagline says nothing about damage.
- You want a class that is easy to carry on your own through every quest. We have not verified solo strength.
In a four-player party
A healer is the clearest party role on the roster. In a four-player expedition a Cleric is the character most groups will want to recruit first, which is our expectation from the tagline rather than an official composition rule.
Compare with other classes
-
Chanter the other support class, built around mantras.
-
Templar the usual tank partner in a long fight.
