AION 2 Cleric build guide sources

• Light of Protection is a core stigma (AION2 Codex: when no Chanter in group).
• Light of Protection does not stack with the Chanter's matching mantra; with a Chanter, swap it out.
• Yustiel's Power is in the group healing stigma set.
• Benevolence is in the group healing stigma set.
• Absolution is used in group healing (Fextralife wiki core healer pick; AION2 Codex replaces Light of Protection with it when a Chanter is present).
• Earth's Punishment as a damage stigma (Reddit thread: Lv20 is a big DPS gain).
• Whether the group healer set carries Earth's Punishment. (Fextralife wiki PvE Healer: Light of Protection, Absolution, Yustiel's Power, Benevolence. AION2 Codex group sets: Earth's Punishment + Benevolence + Yustiel's Power + (Absolution or Light of Protection).)
• Whether to slot the resurrection stigma. (OhNoMellon keeps it in his normal PvE build; the Fextralife wiki and AION2 Codex bring Summon Resurrection only for hard fights.)
• Prayer of Amplification picked for damage (Reddit thread: attack also scales heals).
• Damage loop: Earth's Punishment makes Condemnation crit; Condemnation crit-resets-cooldown specialty enables repeated casts.
• Healing Light toward level 16 (Reddit thread: Lv16 cuts 2s cooldown).
• Turn off skill queueing so Condemnation spam works.
• Core passives named: Healing Enhancement plus Earth's Grace / Empyrean Lord's Grace for damage.
• Attack also raises healing via the Healing Enhancement passive, so Attack is valued for healers.
• Cooldown reduction (incl. Illusion) is valued because heals and damage are cooldown-gated.
• Might and Combat Speed are wanted gear stats.
• Damage Boost is a damage pick and does not replace healing output.
• Rings: prioritise active skill levels.
• Do not sink resources into perfect rolls / soulbinding on gear you will replace.
• Fresh healer board route: Nezekan cooldown reduction, then combat speed, then Zikel damage tolerance before offense.
• Macro column built around Condemnation, Chain of Torment, Earth's Punishment; heals and cleanses kept on separate manual keys.
• Pet/genus: Cogni-group pets give Might.

• PvP approach: the Fextralife wiki uses a separate group PvP set. (Fextralife's group PvP set: Light of Protection, Absolution, Yustiel's Power, Salvation. OhNoMellon brings the PvE build to PvP with small swaps (a stun-resist stigma in group PvP).)
• Attack also raises healing via the Healing Enhancement passive, so Attack is valued for healers.
• Group PvP stat order: Max HP > Status Effect Resist > PvP Damage Tolerance > Attack/Heal Boost.
• Do not sink resources into perfect rolls / soulbinding on gear you will replace.

The one party detail both written guides agree on: Light of Protection does not stack with the matching Chanter mantra. Without a Chanter it stays in the set; with one, AION2 Codex puts Absolution in its place. Whether the healing set also carries Earth's Punishment for damage is where they differ, and PvP is thin: only the Fextralife wiki gives a separate group PvP set, while OhNoMellon plays PvP with the PvE build and small swaps.

The Cleric uses a mace and most guides call it a healer class. Compare it with any other class on AION 2 classes, see where published lists rank it on the AION 2 tier list summary, or pick another class in AION 2 builds.
