Cleric build · PvE · Healer · Oct 17, 2026
The Cleric PvE damage healer (Condemnation) build in AION 2 (PvE, healer) is played around Condemnation 20, Chain of Torment 10 and Debilitating Mark, with Earth Punishment 20, Light of Protection 20, Prayer of Amplification 5 and Summon Resurrection 5 as stigmas; stats in order: Combat Speed > Double Chance > Attack > Damage Boost. From 16 player sources on Reddit, Inven (KR), Bahamut (TW) and 17173 (CN), updated Oct 17, 2026; every name checked against the client.
Put the debuffs, 
Earth Punishment and 
Condemnation on one macro row so a single key runs the engine, hold the basic attack 
Earth's Retribution on the other button, and keep heals by hand. Only one support stigma is usually needed; the rest of the stigma points go to damage and the party aura.

Bolt cooldown when its Discharge chain skill lands; a Korean guide pushes it to 20 for that, but the client puts the option at 12.Earth PunishmentLv 20Rush it. Level 5 makes Condemnation a guaranteed critical; 10 gives +10% Double Chance to you and +5% to the party; 15 adds +10% Attack and Defense; 20 lengthens it by 10 s. Players say 20 roughly halves the downtime between windows — the client text describes the longer duration.
Light of ProtectionLv 20The party aura players take when there is no Chanter; at 20 it adds +10% Perfect Chance. A Chanter's aura overrides it, so skip it then.
Prayer of AmplificationLv 5The damage stigma most posters run. Level 5 is +20% PvE Damage Boost; level 20 adds 15% Attack.
Summon ResurrectionLv 5Take it when a Chanter holds the aura slot. Players say parties burn Res Stones instead of waiting a second for it, so some drop it.
Noble AuraThe alternative to Light of Protection when a Chanter is present. Cast out of combat and keep it off the macro.Light of ProtectionNoble Aura— when a Chanter's aura already covers the group.Prayer of Amplification

The Cleric's top pieces, and what this build wants rolled on each.
% = chance one soul binding gives that line on that piece — our calculation from the client's weights, as on the item pages. Skills listed are the ones this build raises past what points buy (Condemnation, Bolt, Judgment Thunder, Earth's Retribution); stats are the ones it ranks. Gear Transfer moves good lines onto a better piece.

Read on Oct 17, 2026 on Reddit, Inven (KR), Bahamut (TW) and 17173 (CN); the words are ours. Every skill, stigma and stat named here exists in the global client 2.0.6.0 hotfix 1 — a name it does not have stops our build.

Earth Punishment (level 20), Light of Protection (level 20), Prayer of Amplification (level 5), Summon Resurrection (level 5) and Noble Aura. Swaps: Light of Protection → Noble Aura, Prayer of Amplification → Absolution.
Condemnation to 12, Judgment Thunder to 16, Chain of Torment to 10, Light of Regeneration to 10 and Bolt to 10, in that order. Skill points buy up to level 10 (stigmas 20); higher levels come from Daevanion skill nodes, soul binding and arcana.
Combat Speed > Double Chance > Attack > Damage Boost > Critical Damage Boost. The global client caps Critical Hit at 50%.
Apply Debilitating Mark and Chain of Torment, cast Earth Punishment, then spam Condemnation — one macro row, one key. In single-target windows under Earth Punishment, players hold Condemnation alone instead of the whole macro; in AoE, use the macro. Hold the basic attack with the macro, as other classes do; Bolt and heals stay on their own keys. Turn spell queueing off so the macro does not mistime Condemnation — one player reports a large damage gain, while a Templar poster keeps it on. Test it yourself. Korean order for the line: Earth Punishment, Divine Aura, Condemnation, Chain of Torment.

Heavy-heal swapPvESupportFrom Transcendence 2 and in sanctuary runs, some Clerics swap damage stigmas for healing ones and keep a second preset for it. The skill bar stays the same; the stigma bar becomes a safety kit.

Medium evidence: three Reddit threads argue both sides and one Korean guide from March. Others say you do not need healing stigmas at all and that full support is for mass PvP; the damage preset is the safer default.
PvP (Korean block build)PvPSupportA Korean build that trades damage for survival: Shield Block high, a solo/party stigma swap, Defiance for the decisive moments and Radiant Recovery at 20. Players in Korea reached that setup in April, and by August the same community said Cleric PvP is the weakest of all classes.
2020202020Korea-only and thin: one April block guide, one August thread and two global replies that disagree on anti-crit versus block. Korea cut PvP damage by 30% on 14 Oct and the Cleric only got element damage. Treat these numbers as a Korean starting point.
