Classes AION 2 : Les 8 Classes du Lancement
Le roster du lancement mondial — rôles, armes et courbes d'apprentissage pour chaque classe, du seul tank au seul soigneur principal. Chaque personnage commence en Adventurer et s'engage dans l'une de ces huit classes via l'histoire précoce.

8 / 8
Scarce-Role Classes
Two classes are scarce roles: every serious party needs exactly one of each, and supply never catches up with demand. Templars and Clerics queue into weekly Sanctuary runs and Conquest lobbies faster than any DPS.
| Class | Role | Weapon | Learning Curve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Templar | Tank | Sword & Shield | Moderate |
| Cleric | Main Healer | Mace | Gentle to pick up, demanding to master |
Damage Classes
Five classes fill DPS slots, split between melee and ranged. The melee pair differs on execution; the ranged trio differs on damage profile — sustained physical, burst magic, or summon-led.
| Class | Role | Weapon | Learning Curve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gladiator | Melee DPS | Greatsword | Gentle |
| Assassin | Melee DPS | Daggers | Demanding |
| Ranger | Ranged DPS | Bow | Moderate |
| Sorcerer | Magic DPS | Spellbook | Moderate |
| Spiritmaster | Summoner DPS | Orb | Demanding |
The Buff Support
The Chanter is its own category: party-wide enhancements plus respectable melee, welcome in any composition and self-sufficient enough to level comfortably alone.
| Class | Role | Weapon | Learning Curve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chanter | Buff Support | Staff | Moderate |
How Class Selection Works
You do not pick a class in the character creator. Every character starts as an Adventurer — a shared starter that teaches the basics — and commits to one of the eight classes through an early story quest. The choice is a real commitment: there is no confirmed free re-class system at launch. Factions (Elyos and Asmodians) run on separate servers but share an identical class roster, so the faction choice is aesthetic and community, not gameplay.
