Aion Templar Guide Review

Usually I don’t rely much on game walkthroughs because I prefer discovering things myself. The problem is, however, that only after extensive hours spent will I discover that I have missed out on things for which there is no turning back…. :-/

Several of my gamer friends have recommended Killer Guides to me before, so when I saw this Killer Guides Aion Templar Guide, I decided for once to give it a try.

The simplest way to put my impression of it is that it totally rendered my perspectives about game guides!

The guide is a real time-saver. It provides all the itty-bitty details on the Templar class, form where you can grind out the most exp. when you are in certain level to what are the smart PvP strategies. It also gives you equipment and skills details in an easily understandable table. I feel that my gameplay was drastically more enjoyable. The fuss and pity over lost opportunity are spared. Airtime usually spent aimlessly is shortened. Most of all, it doesn’t make me feel any less excited about the game content. On the contrary, reading the guide has actually stirred my curiosity, the thirst to experience the game for myself and not just through the author’s writings.

In short, the Killer Guides Aion Templar Guide simply has LOTS more to offer than I had expected it )

Two thumbs up from me!!

Cloth, Leather, Chain, Plate, Shields

What armor to wear

Plate equipment are the best gears in Aion and being a Templar, you’ll have the privilege of being the only class aside from the Gladiator that can wear Plate armor. Templars can also occasionally use chains, if ever they find ones with greater stat boosts while leather or cloth won’t be that much of help. Though shields don’t give defense boosts, they do offer damage reduction at a certain percentage and allow Templars to execute shield-exclusive skills. Having shields will also allow you to take advantage of additional manastone slots which you can use to further increase your defense or shield defense ratings.

Class Features

• Ability to equip plate armor which offers the best protection in the game
• Enhanced resiliency and survivability compared to other class
• Considered as the main and best tanking class in the game
• A balanced set of offensive and defensive skills that will ensure the protection of the party while dealing damage.
• One of the most popular and in-demand class for group raids, quests, and PvP / PvE situations

Overall the templar is closely related to the glaidator class and many will face the decisions: Templar or Gladitor. Templar vs Gladiator. Choose wisely because both characters have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Since Aion has a balanced character system gameplay, it doesn’t matter whether you’re an Elyos or Asmodian templar – your default skill tree will still be the same. However, with the inclusion of the Stigma system, players will gain access to more abilities not normally learned from skill manuals by equipping Stigma Stones and customize their characters with their own set of chosen skills. The irony however, is that late in the game, players tend to use the same builds and stigma skills since they’re proven to be quite effective.

By default, characters can only have 5 stigma slots. They start with two equippable slots and as the character’s level increases, more slots become unlocked. Late in the game, certain quest lines late will unlock three additional “advanced stigma slots”. The advanced stigma slots can both hold ordinary stigma stones or the new advanced stigma stones. However, you can’t place advanced stigma stones to ordinary stigma slots.
