Prefer a read-through? Aion 2 Templar Guide: Skills, Stigmas and Build covers the class in prose, with the build order level by level.

≈44–57%

of the endgame damage (Judgment at level 20, specialties 3·4·5) comes from Judgment: 50–57% on a Korean training dummy (September 16–17, 2026) and ≈44% in real fights (87 Korean fights after September 17, aion2t.com). Before level 16, while it has a 5 s cooldown, the share is much smaller.

2–3 s

is the Judgment window after one of your own shield skills: 2 s from Shield Smite, Warding Strike and Shield Rush, 3 s from Doom Shield. With specialty 5 (level 16) Judgment has no cooldown, and while the window is lit it hits about every half second.

109–128

Judgment casts in 60 s: ≈109 is the median of real Korean fights, 114–128 is the dummy (228–256 hits in Combat Analysis, because with specialty 3 every cast hits twice). While Judgment is below level 16 (5 s cooldown), the ceiling is 12.

How to read the numbers

Skill level (1–40, stigmas 1–25) is not your character level. Up to 10 it is bought with skill points (1+1+1+2+2+2+4+4+4 = 21 points per skill); past that it comes from Daevanion nodes, gear and arcana. Every level bought with points also needs three more character levels: Punishment, learned at 14, reaches skill level 8 only at character level 32. Stigmas level with shards: 1 each for levels 1–5, 2 for 6–10, 4 for 11–15, 8 for 16–20, 75 in total to level 20.
Specialties. Every active skill has five. Options 1–3 unlock at skill level 8, option 4 at 12, option 5 at 16. How many can be active at once: Lv 8 · Lv 12 · Lv 20 . They are written by number: 345, and the border shows the unlock level (grey Lv 8 · violet Lv 12 · amber Lv 16). The number is the position in the game's Specialty list, top to bottom. For Judgment that is 1 Absorbs 1% HP · 2 Deals extra damage on attacking a target afflicted with Impact-type status · 3 Extra damage on hit · 4 Critical Hit on hit · 5 Remove cooldown.
Stigmas have five specialties (at levels 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25), and every unlocked one works at the same time. aion2.app shows only the first four; the fifth is in the in-game tooltip. Levels 21–25 have no shard price in the client data; they come from gear bonuses.
Damage is the base number from the client at that skill level. The in-game tooltip already includes your Attack, so the numbers there are several times bigger. The multiplier grows with Attack and differs slightly between skills, so the base compares skills on equal stats; it is not the damage you will see in a fight.
A Critical Hit is ×1.5 in PvE and ×1.25 in PvP; Double is ×2; Perfect hits at the weapon's maximum attack. Double and Perfect multiply every skill alike, so they do not change priorities. Multi-Hit is not counted: the client does not say how much the second hit adds.
Enmity. The Vicious Strike auto-attack, Pummel, Judgment and Flash Rampage raise it; Taunt at level 20 adds +39,000 at once; the Insulting Roar passive doubles the gain (+100% Enmity Boost). The client does not say how much Enmity each hit gives, so this page does not count it.
Healing is the client's base number too; Incoming Heal raises it (Enhance Health +25% at level 20, Noble Armor specialty 4 +10%).
Icons are from the game client through aion2.app.

Rotations

What to press, and why

Numbers are at the recommended skill levels (mostly 20; stigmas 20–25) with crits counted: an always-crit hit ×1.5, a normal hit ×1.3 (60% crit). Buffs, your Attack and the PvE multipliers of Korean patches are not counted, which is why the shares here do not match the DPS meter.

Boss · DPS

Since the Korean rework of August 26, 2026, Judgment is opened not by a stun on the target but by one of your own shield skills: Shield Smite, Warding Strike and Shield Rush give a 2 s window, Doom Shield a 3 s one. With specialty 5 Judgment has no cooldown, and a stack of openers keeps the window lit almost the whole fight. On September 16 Korea added a cancel delay to Pummel and Judgment; since then the main loop is auto-attack (LMB) ↔ Judgment.

The client data of September 18, 2026 matches the Korean version between September 5 and September 16. What changed in Korea on September 16 (Noble Armor, Taunt, Pummel specialty 5, the cancel delay) is marked separately in the text.

Before level 16: Judgment on a 5 s cooldown

How a Templar plays at the start of the global version: skills at 8–12, stigmas at 1–5, and Judgment without specialty 5, “Remove cooldown” (it opens at skill level 16). Doom Shield is a stigma, from character level 22.

Punishment (from level 14): a full charge from range, 10,570 base at level 8 and the Executor buff, +20% PvE damage for 20 s. 30 s cooldown, 200 MP.
Shield Smite: a 2 s Judgment window, 10 s cooldown, a 100% stun on NPCs. Take specialty 2: the skill becomes free and returns 200 MP, which at the start is your main source of mana.
Judgment only in a window: 1,315 base at level 8, and specialty 3 adds a second hit. The cooldown is 5 s, so one cast per window; more than 12 a minute is not possible.
Warding Strike: a 2 s window, 1,406 base and healing at level 8, and Warding (+20% PvE damage tolerance) for 10 s. 30 s cooldown, −5 s with specialty 1.
Annihilate (from level 12): only on a stunned or knocked-down target. On ordinary mobs it works after Shield Smite; on bosses with immunity it lights up on a 5% chance per hit. Specialty 3: +100% damage against such targets (4,808 base at level 8).
The rest of the time, Vicious Strike (LMB): the Decisive → Desperate Strike chain, +100 / +100 / +120 MP, +20% with specialty 1.

Check yourself in Combat Analysis: Shield Smite, Warding Strike, Doom Shield and Punishment should go out on cooldown, about 6 / 2.4 / 2 / 2 a minute. The first three give ≈10 windows a minute, so up to 10 Judgment casts. With specialty 3 every cast is two hits, so the HIT column shows twice as many for Judgment.

Mana at the start: Warding Strike, Punishment and Annihilate cost 200 each, Shield Smite 100, Pummel and Punishing Strike 120 each. It comes back only from the auto-attack, Shield Smite with specialty 2 (+200 MP) and Shield of Protection (+300 MP per Block, a stigma from level 22). So at the start it is better to leave Pummel out of the stack. aLuckyRO recommends tab-target mode at the start rather than action mode: between skills the character auto-attacks by itself, so the macro's gaps fill with damage and mana.

Assign the macro key in Settings → Key Settings → Gameplay → Macro and hold it the whole fight together with LMB (the auto-attack). The Judgment entry is the whole right mouse button: Judgment → Warding Strike → Shield Smite, so those skills are not added separately. The Annihilate entry is the whole key 5: Annihilate → Taunt → Empyrean Lord's Punishment → Battlefield Banner. Hold Punishment (4) yourself, since the macro would press it without a charge; press Doom Shield (E) by hand when Warding Strike and Shield Smite are on cooldown.

Hold at the same time: LMB (the auto-attack), the macro key and Punishment (4). Judgment interrupts the auto-attack the moment it lights up; when Judgment and its openers are on cooldown, the held Punishment goes out at full charge.
Entry 1 is the right mouse button (Judgment → Warding Strike → Shield Smite), entry 2 is key 5 (Annihilate → Taunt → Empyrean Lord's Punishment → Battlefield Banner). 10 ms Delay, skill queueing on. Doom Shield (E) by hand when Warding Strike and Shield Smite are on cooldown. Korean players with a Logitech or Razer mouse do the same with one button; since September 16 the in-game macro gives almost as much.
The pinned Korean guide keeps Pummel last in the RMB stack; several authors say DPS is higher without it. Measurements with and without Pummel are in the table below.
Frame rate at about 100 or higher, frame generation off: the number of hits depends on FPS.

The opener step by step

−5 s
buffBattlefield Banner · Noble ArmorAttack in proportion to Defense for 20 s · +13% max HP
Noble Armor doubles the point of your passives: specialties 2 and 3 multiply Insulting Roar and Fury by 1.5. The client data has it at 300 s; in Korea since September 16 its duration and cooldown are 2 minutes, so you will have to press it every 2 minutes.
−3 s
staggerEmpyrean Lord's Punishment2,632 on 4 targets within 4 m · 50 stagger (+50 specialty 2) · 60 s cooldown
Specialty 3 (level 15): +10% PvE damage for 10 s after it lands, which is why it goes out on the pull together with the buffs.
−2 s
burstPunishment · full charge17,370 × 1.5 = 26,055 (Lv 20, specialty 5: always crits) · Executor +20% PvE damage for 20 s
Since August 26 it is a 20 m projectile, so charge it before contact. After that, on every cooldown, but only once Judgment and its openers have gone dark: do not charge it in the middle of a window.
−1 s
aggroTaunt2,487 · Shrink for 15 s: −200 Accuracy, −10% Attack; specialty 1 adds −10% PvE tolerance on the boss
In the client data Taunt gives a fixed amount of Enmity; in Korea since September 16 it scales with damage. Korean players never agreed whether to press it on a dummy: it is about 3 s of animation.
0.0 s
windowDoom Shield3,514 · a 20 m dash · 100% knockdown on NPCs · a 5% HP shield · 3 s Judgment window
Specialty 1 resets the Annihilate cooldown. After the opener, press it by hand when Warding Strike and Shield Smite are on cooldown: that way its 3 s window does not overlap the others (Korean advice after September 16).
0.3–3.0 s
loopJudgment × ~53,008 × 2 hits × 1.5 = 9,024 per cast (Lv 20)
Specialty 3 is the second hit (on the Korean DPS meter it is about equal to the first), specialty 4 always crits, specialty 5 removes the cooldown. The auto-attack and Judgment cancel each other's animation, and that is the main loop.
~3.0 s
windowWarding Strike → Judgment2,692 + 1,911 healing · Warding +20% tolerance for 10 s · 30 − 5 s cooldown (specialty 1)
Vicious Strike specialty 4 takes another 2 s off the Warding Strike cooldown for every auto-attack hit, which is why on a dummy it goes out 12–13 times a minute. Specialty 5 (level 16): +10% PvE tolerance for the party.
~5.0 s

Judgment windows in 30 s: 11, and in each one Judgment hits about every half secondBetween windows: the auto-attack (LMB) and a full Punishment

The pace is the Korean measurement's of September 17: Warding Strike ≈13 and Shield Smite ≈8 times a minute, Doom Shield by hand in the gaps between them. The windows overlap, which is why Judgment hits almost without a pause.

After the opener: priority

Judgment every time a window is lit: it is first in the right mouse button's stack.
Warding Strike and Shield Smite open new windows; the stack throws them by itself as soon as Judgment goes dark. Doom Shield by hand when both are on cooldown.
Punishment: a full charge on every cooldown (30 s), but in a gap between windows. Executor (+20% PvE damage) lasts 20 s.
Annihilate the moment it lights up: against a boss with immunity that is a 5% chance per hit, and specialty 3 gives +100% damage. Doom Shield with specialty 1 resets its cooldown.
Taunt, Empyrean Lord's Punishment, Battlefield Banner on cooldown from key 5 (macro entry 2); Noble Armor by hand (6).
While the boss is staggered, Flash Rampage on the same key as Punishment: specialty 5 takes 1 s off every cooldown per hit.
All the rest of the time, the Vicious Strike auto-attack (LMB): damage, mana and Enmity.

Mana

The auto-attack: +100 / +100 / +120 / +150 MP over its hits, +20% with specialty 1.
Warding Strike −200 · Punishment −200 · Annihilate −200 · Shield Smite −100 (specialty 2: 0 and +200) · Pummel / Punishing Strike −120 each.
Shield of Protection: +300 MP per Block · Flash Rampage: +120 MP with specialty 2.

In the Korean minute the auto-attack returns ≈17,580 MP, while Warding Strike, Shield Smite, Punishment and Annihilate take ≈5,800. At endgame mana is enough; before September 16, when Pummel was hitting all the time, it was not.

The first four rows are a melee training dummy, 1 minute, full buffs (26621 is an ordinary dummy); the numbers are hits in the HIT column. The last row is the medians of real fights from a third-party meter: those are casts, not hits, and the shares from Threatening Blow to the auto-attack. Other skills: Warding Strike ≈3–4%, Shield Smite and Punishing Benediction ≈2%. Judgment in HIT is two hits per cast. On real bosses (5 players, a third-party meter) a Templar deals 23–31% of the party's damage: your own Fury, Banner and Executor buffs make the class strong in short fights.

Your role in a party: Fury (+15% PvE damage for the party for 20 s after a Block at level 20) and Warding Strike with specialty 5 (+10% tolerance for the party) are what a Templar gives the party while dealing damage. That is why Korean players pull the boss themselves: the first Block turns Fury on at once.

Tank and party

In a party the Templar is the main tank. Your contribution to the party's damage is the Fury passive: every Block gives you and your party +15% PvE damage for 20 s (level 20). That is why Korean players pull the boss themselves: some bosses strike first, and the very first Block turns Fury on. The auto-attack holds Enmity; Taunt also puts Shrink on the boss.

Nezekan's Shield (spec. 2)	60 s	5 s	8%
Noble Armor	300 s (120 in Korea since Sep 16)	the same	100%

* Fury refreshes every time you Block, so while the boss is hitting you the uptime is ≈100%. On the Korean dummy Warding Strike goes out every ≈5 s thanks to Vicious Strike specialty 4 (−2 s cooldown per auto-attack hit). Passives: Block Pain gives +30% tolerance for 10 s after you are hit; Guarding Seal is a 40% HP shield when HP drops to 50% or below (60 s cooldown). Comrade in Arms gives +20% tolerance and takes 31% of an ally's damage onto you for 6 s; Korean players take it only in group PvP.

The “natural Block”

Instead of Shield of Protection, players stack Block from armour, pets and arcana: hits are then blocked by themselves and Fury stays lit all the time.
Targets Korean players name: 2,400–2,500 Block for expeditions, ≈3,100 for Transcendence; Second Skin specialty 2 adds +20% Block.
Against it: Fury was cut on August 26, and new bosses have hits that cannot be blocked. Warding Strike specialty 2 (+100 Block) is taken for exactly this build.

The tank stigma set: Nezekan's Shield (Lv 25) instead of Empyrean Lord's Punishment, and Second Skin if needed; six slots hold no seventh, so Second Skin takes Battlefield Banner's slot. The rest is as in the DPS set (see the build).

The first ~3 s deal about 159,528 base damage to a pack of 4: Grapple, a full Punishment, Shield Smite, Annihilate (specialty 5) and Doom Shield. After that, Judgment in the windows and the AoE filler.

Mana for the burst

700 MP: Grapple 200 + Punishment 200 + Shield Smite 100 (0 with specialty 2) + Annihilate 200. Doom Shield is free. After that the auto-attack returns mana: +100 / 100 / 120 / 150 over its hits.

PvP 1v1

In PvP a Templar is a shield and a hammer: pull, stun, and while the enemy is down, Annihilate and Judgment from your own windows. The Korean consensus: only Pummel, Shield Rush and Judgment go to 20; Poach and Defiance to 16; Punishment to 16 for Executor and the life drain. The PvP key layout is on the skill bar.

Ranger, Sorcerer: the timing of Debilitating Smash decides it: −25% Defense and −60% healing (specialty 3).
A Korean assessment of September 6: Chanter and Assassin slightly in your favour, Ranger even, Spiritmaster slightly against, Cleric and Sorcerer in your favour.

Stigmas in PvP

The standard (September 1): Battlefield Banner 25, Second Skin 25, Shield of Protection 25, Noble Armor, Doom Shield, and a sixth: Taunt, Comrade in Arms or Nezekan's Shield.
Group PvP: Grapple instead of Second Skin, and Comrade in Arms as the sixth.
Korean players praise Nezekan's Shield both in 1v1 and in the Abyss, which is why the PvP bar has it on 8 as the sixth. Executing Blade is not taken in PvP.

PvP numbers are level 20 skill bases before the PvP coefficients, Judgment as two hits with specialty 3. In PvP a crit is ×1.25. Since September 16 Korean players complain that the PvP Templar got weaker: since August 26 Judgment deals −16% in PvP and the right mouse button −7%, and the double Punishing Strike for life drain disappeared together with the old Pummel specialty 5.

Levelling 1–30

There are no stigmas before character level 22, so Judgment is opened only by Shield Smite (from level 3), Warding Strike (from level 8) and Shield Rush (from level 10, after an Evade). Shield Smite stuns ordinary mobs 100% of the time, so from level 12 Annihilate works on them too.

The combo on one mob

Poach: a pull from 20 m, a 100% root on NPCs.
Shield Smite: a 100% stun on NPCs and a 2 s Judgment window.
Judgment right away, while the window is lit.
From level 12, Annihilate on the stunned mob; from level 14, Punishment on the pull.
Warding Strike: one more window, healing and Warding.
To finish: Vicious Strike (LMB), which also restores mana.

On packs: Poach or Shield Rush → Punishment → Shield Smite → Pummel ↔ the auto-attack. Defiance from level 16.

Where the skill points go

Judgment → Vicious Strike → Shield Smite → Warding Strike: first to level 8 (the first specialty), then to 10. After that Punishment and Annihilate.
Levelling a skill from 2 to 10 costs 1+1+1+2+2+2+4+4+4 = 21 points. Every level bought with points also needs three more character levels: Judgment reaches 8 at character level 22, Punishment at 32.
Levels 11–20 come from Daevanion nodes, gear and arcana. Korean players take Judgment, Punishment, Warding Strike and Vicious Strike or Annihilate to 20; Flash Rampage and Pummel to 16.
Stigmas from level 22: the Korean advice for beginners is Taunt 25, Noble Armor 15, Shield of Protection 10; another is Battlefield Banner 25 first. Shards: 1 each for levels 1–5, 2 for 6–10, 4 for 11–15, 8 for 16–20.

Skill bar · the Mastery tab

Which skill goes on which key

Every card is one key with the skills stacked on it, listed in the order the game tries them: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (the Mastery tab calls them rows 0–3). Press the key and the first skill that can fire right now goes out; one that is on cooldown or not usable (no Judgment window, the target is not stunned, the boss is not staggered) is skipped. So conditional skills go first and the always-usable filler goes last: Judgment fires only in a window, and the rest of the time the right mouse button falls through to Warding Strike, Shield Smite and Pummel. A chain under a skill (Pummel → Punishing Strike) is what the same key fires on the next press. A macro takes a key whole: in Skill → Macro you add the key's first skill, and that entry presses the entire stack. The macro has a key of its own, which you assign in Settings → Key Settings → Gameplay → Macro; in a fight you hold that key and LMB, and the macro presses the right mouse button's and key 5's stacks for you.

The Annihilate entry is the whole key 5: Annihilate when it lights up; otherwise Taunt, Empyrean Lord's Punishment and Battlefield Banner on cooldown.
Hold LMB (the auto-attack) together with the macro: it hits between windows and restores mana. Hold Punishment (4) yourself for a full charge when no window is lit; the macro would press it without a charge.
Doom Shield (E) by hand when Warding Strike and Shield Smite are on cooldown: a dash and a 3 s window. Noble Armor (6) by hand before the pull. Below level 16 the macro is the same; Judgment will just be greyed out more often.

Opening a fight with this layout

Before the pull: 6 for Noble Armor; 5 5 5 for Taunt, Empyrean Lord's Punishment and Battlefield Banner (Annihilate is not lit yet, so the key takes the next skill in the stack each time).
From range, hold 4 for a full-charge Punishment: a 20 m projectile and Executor (+20% PvE damage) for 20 s.
E Doom Shield: a dash to the boss and a 3 s Judgment window. Or Evade → Q Shield Rush.
Hold LMB and the macro key and do not let go: Judgment, Warding Strike, Shield Smite and Annihilate go out by themselves.
When Judgment has gone dark and Warding Strike and Shield Smite are on cooldown, E (Doom Shield) or hold 4 (Punishment). While the boss is staggered, key 4 gives Flash Rampage.
By hand: 2 Shield of Protection before a heavy hit, Space to break control. In the tank set Nezekan's Shield takes Empyrean Lord's Punishment's stigma slot and goes on the free 3, for a party-wide mechanic.

The PvE right button is the stack from Korean guides after September 16, 2026: Judgment → Warding Strike → Shield Smite (sometimes with Doom Shield or Pummel as well). The key numbers are an example: Korean players place the other skills wherever suits them; what matters is the RMB stack and a separate key for Punishment.

Calculator

Work out your own loop

Set how many times in 60 s you land Judgment, Punishment and Annihilate (the DPS meter shows it), your crit and your cooldown stat, and see where the damage comes from and how the windows fall. Results are in base units from the skill tooltips with crits counted, before Attack and buffs.

Judgment per minute (casts) 128Below level 16, no more than 12 (5 s cooldown). The Korean dummy of September 17: 128 casts (256 hits).

Punishment (full charge) per minute 330 s cooldown; Korean players get 3–5 a minute thanks to Flash Rampage and Pummel specialty 4.

Annihilate per minute 9Against a boss with immunity, only a 5% chance per hit; Korean players get 6–11.

The model: from level 8 Judgment hits twice (specialty 3; the second hit is taken as equal to the first, which is what the Korean DPS meter shows), from level 12 it always crits (specialty 4), from level 16 it has no cooldown (specialty 5). Punishment is a full charge (×3) and always crits from level 16 (specialty 5). Annihilate with specialty 3 does +100% against a target immune to crowd control. The auto-attack, Warding Strike, Shield Smite and Punishing Benediction come from the Korean measurement of September 17: 28 + 29 + 29 + 56 chain hits (Threatening Blow from Vicious Strike level 16), 13 Warding Strikes, 8 Shield Smites and 46 Punishing Benediction procs a minute. Multi-Hit, Double, Perfect, buffs and the PvE multipliers of Korean patches are not counted, so the shares differ from the DPS meter.

Too few Judgments in Combat Analysis?

If Judgment at level 16+ lands fewer than ≈100 casts a minute while the auto-attack hits often, the windows are being lost. Check in turn:

Judgment is first in the right mouse button's stack; otherwise the key always fires whatever comes before it.
Judgment is usable only for 2–3 s after Shield Smite, Warding Strike, Shield Rush or Doom Shield; between them it is greyed out, as it should be.
Below skill level 16, Judgment has a 5 s cooldown: 12 a minute at most. Specialty 5, “Remove cooldown”, opens at 16.
Shield Smite, Warding Strike and Doom Shield sometimes go out back to back and overlap each other's windows. The Korean fix is Doom Shield on its own key, pressed by hand (E here).
The macro is the RMB key plus LMB held, a 10 ms delay (40 ms at 80+ ping). Frame rate at about 100 or higher, frame generation off: Korean players saw −20 Judgment hits in a 60 FPS eco mode.

Everyone takes Judgment 3·4·5. At level 16 specialty 5 (no cooldown) matters more than the crit, so until level 20 it is 3·5. Vicious Strike: 4 (−2 s Warding Strike cooldown per hit) and 5 (Threatening Blow) are the consensus; the third is Multi-Hit (3; more common in real fights) or life drain (2). Punishment: 3 (+30% speed) and 5 (crit, ignores Block) almost everyone takes; the third is a matter of taste. Pummel after September 16 is disputed: those who keep it take 3·4·5, others remove it from the stack. At the start, specialties for mana: Vicious Strike 1, Shield Smite 2, Pummel 1, Flash Rampage 2 (aLuckyRO).

Stigma specialties are not chosen: every unlocked one works (levels 5/10/15/20/25). The levelling order follows a Korean guide of August 8: Taunt, Shield of Protection and Battlefield Banner to 25, then Empyrean, Doom Shield and Noble Armor to 20. At level 25 (the fifth specialty, according to the patch notes): Taunt's Shrink adds another −5% critical damage tolerance, Shield of Protection gets a third charge, Doom Shield ignores Block and Evasion, Battlefield Banner gives +15% Combat Speed, Nezekan's Shield +10% shield.

Macros

How to set up the buttons

The ready-made macros sit next to the rotations: in the Boss tab, in the “Before level 16” and “Endgame” blocks, and once more under the PvE skill bar. This section explains how a macro works and gives the variants from Korean guides. The in-game macro: Settings → Key Settings → Gameplay → Macro to assign a key, then add entries in Skill → Macro. A macro entry is a key, not a single skill. You add the key's first skill, and that entry presses the whole stack: the first skill, and if it cannot fire, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. While the macro key is held, the game presses the entries in turn and skips any that cannot fire. Use a 10 ms delay at up to 50 ping, 40 ms at 80+.

LMBhold the whole fight
RMBthe whole stack, 1st to 4th · a macro entry, 10 ms
4hold: full charge
'a second line: Annihilate, otherwise Shield Smite

The macro is one entry, the right mouse button; LMB, the macro and Punishment are all held by one mouse button through Logitech G Hub, and the Annihilate line is pressed every 2 ms.
The author's measurement: 8.79 M DPS on a melee training dummy, Judgment 49%.
For a hand-pressed Punishment the author recommends a separate key: do not press the one inside the mouse macro by hand.

Without Pummel in the stack: 7.25 M DPS, Judgment 57%, the highest share among the measurements.
Another variant from the same day: Doom Shield on its own key, and two entries in the macro, Judgment and the Empyrean / Annihilate line (7.06 M).

Check yourself on the dummy

≤ 12	Judgment below 16, still on its 5 s cooldown
≈ 90–110	windows overlap or burn out: Shield Smite, Warding Strike and Doom Shield go out back to back; move Doom Shield to its own key
114–128	the Korean dummy of September 16–17 (228–256 hits in HIT)

Korean players use hardware mouse macros (G Hub, Synapse) openly, but check the global version's rules yourself. Since September 16 Korean players write that the in-game macro gives almost as much as a mouse macro.

The aion2.app data is labelled September 18, 2026, but by content it matches the Korean version between September 5 and 16. On September 16 Korea changed Noble Armor (2 minutes), Taunt (Enmity from damage), Pummel specialty 5 and the Pummel ↔ Judgment cancel delay. If the global version gets that patch, the in-game tooltips for those skills will differ from this page.
