Warrior emblem

Warriors are the tanking class in Aion. They are the only class capable of using Plate armor, giving them higher defense than any of the others. Along with this, the Warriors are the only classes that obtain skills to help them gain aggression on mobs, making mobs “hate” them more. This helps because it reduces the chance that group members will be attacked by the mobs. Note that these aggression skills are not obtained until choosing a class after Ascension.

The main thing to do as a Warrior is choose between the Templar and Gladiator. These are both very different characters. They both have the ability to tank, however the Templar is much more specialized for it. The Gladiator is more specialized towards dealing damage to enemies.

When playing as a Warrior, there is less to worry about than other classes. Whereas most of the others are worried about the amount of damage they are taking, the Warrior does not have as much of a fear. This does not mean they are invincible, just that there is less risk involved when playing as one.

The good parts of this class are :

• Very high defense, giving more survivability
• Ability to use shields

The negative parts are :

• Lower attack power than other classes

The Warrior’s weapon of choice is a sword, and they are also able to use shields. Shields increase their defense by allowing them to block enemy attacks, enhancing their ability to survive even more!

The worst part of this class is their attacks are not as strong as other classes. At the same time, however, their defense more than makes up for this down-fall.

Warriors can be considered as a good class for new players to Aion to try out, due to having the best defensive statistics. This allows newer players to learn how the battle system works, how to kill mobs, etc. without dying constantly.

In solo play and group play, Warriors have the same goals : To attack mobs and kill them as fast as possible. The only difference is that in group play Warriors will also need to worry about protecting their group member(s) from mobs.

Like with most other MMORPGs, players each find ways to stand out as a Warrior against other players. The easiest but very much argued in terms of ethics would be using Aion exploits and cheats as oppose to the more traditional class guides; for this case, Aion Warrior guides.

Conclusion : The Warrior is the highest defense class available. It has lower damage than the other classes, however it has to worry much less about how much damage it is taking. The Warrior is suited to both solo and group play, and in fact other classes (especially Rogues) would benefit greatly from having them in their group!

Templar emblem

This article explores the Templar class at surface level. For anyone who is just starting out and want to learn more about the class, here you’ll find a rather complete class introduction. But if you want to get your hands on a much more in-depth reference and the unique strategies to easily master the class, then this Aion Templar Guide is one you should not forget to check out. This guide can work wonders for any player when referred to along with this Aion Guide and this Aion Kinah Guide.

Templars are the best tanking class in Aion. They are primarily built for tanking, giving them more defense and aggression-building skills than the Gladiator. This class is, later in the game, very necessary for groups in many areas.

The Templar will generally use a sword and shield, although it is able to use other weapons as well, such as greatswords. Along with this, the Templar is able to use any type of armor, but Plate is the one with the highest defense so using anything else would be ineffective.

One of the most important things to know about this class is that although their defense is high, their attack power is not. This keeps them from being a DPS class, although if they use a greatsword it will enhance their attack power (though not by a lot, compared to the other classes).

Their main priority is solely to tank mobs for groups. To assist with this, there are many, many skills that will draw the mob’s aggression towards them, making the mobs attack them instead of their allies. Using these effectively will ensure that mobs stay on the tank and not on anyone else (which could potentially cause a group to wipe).

The high points of the Templar are :

• The highest defense in the game!
• The ability to draw aggression from group members to themselves
• The ability to use multiple weapon types

The low points are :

• Low damage output when compared to other classes
• They are, if played effectively, the first person to die in groups
• They must play very actively as groups will rely on them being attentive

The Templar is as important as Clerics (or Chanters) are in groups, giving them a central role. Because of this, they are unable to go AFK randomly in a group or everyone may die. For some, this actively-contributing role is a positive, for others it is a negative.

Templars soloing should not have too many issues due to their defense, however killing mobs may take a little longer than other classes. In groups is where the Templar is most effective, as they can tank mobs for the higher damaging classes (such as Sorcerers, Assassins, or Rangers).

Conclusion : The Templar is the tanking group in Aion. Their goal is to keep mobs off other players and on themselves. Due to this, they have a central, active role in grouping. Along with this, they can play as a DPS character, although not as effective as other classes.
