Aion Priest Classes - Introducing the Chanter

In the game of Aion, if you get your Priest up to Level 10 and get his wings you can choose for him to become a Chanter. The Chanter is a Daeva who is a master of attacking, healing, and using enhancement magic. Chanters can also wield a Staff with the expertise that a swordsman has with the blade. The source of the Chanter's magical enhancement powers is the masterful use of mantras. Elysean Chanters follow Lady Yustiel, the Guardian of Life. Asmodian Chanters are in the service of Lord Marchutan, the Controller of Destiny.

The Chanter's Mantras can be used to strengthen allies who are within the area of effect. The Chanter is also a highly effective melee combatant because of his astonishing Staff-wielding skill. However, Chanters don't have the mana reserves of their counterpart Clerics or similar characters Sorcerers or Spiritmasters , so judicious use of their magic is a must for them. Nevertheless, their diversity of magical abilities is the greatest of all, and it includes buffing themselves and allies,healing themselves and allies, and curing others. In fact, Chanters have the highest efficiency of buffing magic and recovery magic of any character class in Aion.

CLASSES

For fighting by themselves (as well as within groups), Chanters can equip themselves with Chain Mail and a Shield. They can fend off or attack many enemies at once due to their powerful recovery magic. However, they don't have the great Attack power than can take down an enemy quickly--they must wear down an enemy. Therefore, this character needs to be very careful about not taking on too many enemies at once-if they run out of their healing mana before they have completely worn down and defeated a foe, the outcome for them will not be good at all. Chanters who are going to find themselves on the defensive can use a mace to great defensive effect.

Where Chanters really shine is within the group, however. They are the center piece of any alliance group in which they find themselves, since other characters are drawing strength, inspiration, and healing from them and their Mantras. They are also able to help their allies damage enemies with their great fighting mastery while they themselves don't have to rely on killing them alone.

Chanters' Mantras don't have a long range with their area of effectiveness. You will, however, build this up over time as your Levels increase. So you will have to learn to place yourself just right within the group in order to have the highest degree of effectiveness.

If you consider yourself to be a spiritual person who also likes kicking butt martial arts style, you'll love playing an Aion Chanter.

Exploring Priest Classes in Aion - The Cleric

In the game of Aion, once your Priest reaches Level 10 and gets her wings, you can transform her into a Cleric. Clerics are Daevas who follow the Star of Healing. Clerics have the magical power of healing, and their healing powers are so great that they can even bring a Daeva back to life if they have their soul separated from their body. Clerics are also very effective in melee combat as they are quite skilled at using Mace and Shield. Elysean clerics follow the ways of Yustiel, the Lord of Life. Asmodian clerics are in the service of Marchutan, the Lord of Destiny.

In addition to their amazingly powerful healing abilities, Clerics can cast ranged spells for damaging or weakening enemies while also using magic to buff themselves and their allies. But their specialty is protection and healing of their allies, making them the magical counterpart to the Templar warriors. Any group that wishes to be highly successful absolutely must have a Cleric, aka a "Walking Potion", in its midst.

CLASSES

Clerics have to be wise with their powers, though. They only have so much mana and the last thing that any group needs is for them to run out of it. This character starts off only armored in leather and cloth, but she can put on the Chain Mail. If she does this, her powers of defensive protection are indeed second only to those of the Templar among all characters and classes. Clerics are also like the spiritual counterparts to Rangers, for their damaging abilities are mostly a handful of ranged spells that can cause server harm before they arrive on the scene with their deadly Mace swinging out the death blows.

The Cleric is really intended to be part of a group and is probably the least effective character at going solo. However, Clerics can do very well alone because they can heal themselves so robustly and because its possible for those attacking a Cleric to end up dead before they can even get to her thanks to those ranged magical Attack weapons. The skilled Cleric knows how to make efficient use of the recovery and the attack skill set, however, for once again mana is limited.

In the group of allies, the Cleric is the center of healing and strengthening as well as a powerful force for enemy restraint and damage from a distance. If the need ever arises and the mana pool is there, the Cleric can bring an ally back from the brink of death--or even resurrect him. But she can also be healing allies slowly but steadily the whole time with spells that use less mana.

If you consider yourself someone who enjoys playing healing roles, the Cleric of Aion is for you.
