Cleric guide: stats, gearing and wings

Stigma levels compete with gear, and Earth's Grace flips crit chance above crit damage.

4 min readUpdated Oct 21, 2026

Before any of the stat talk below: your stigma levels compete with your gear. Light of Protection and the other key stigmas do more for a group than most upgrades on this page will. Sort those first, then optimise.

That's not the usual advice for a damage class, but you're not a damage class.

Crit chance over crit damage

Earth's Grace already gives you crit damage, so more of it returns less. Crit chance takes over, up to global's 50% rate cap.

StatYouA class without that passive
+1% Crit chance+0.61%+0.44%
+1% Critical damage boost+0.33%+0.36%

Same as Assassin, Ranger and Chanter. Templar, Sorcerer and Spiritmaster want chance first too, by a much narrower margin, so nobody on global is rolling crit damage ahead of it except Gladiator.

Stat priority

StatPer unit
Double ChanceKorea calls this Smite+0.80% per 1%
Attack increase+0.76% per 1%
Combat speed+0.74% per 1%
Front/back boost+0.70% per 1%
Damage boost+0.63% per 1%
Weapon damage boost+0.62% per 1%
Crit chance+0.61% per 1%
Attack+0.43% per 10
Critical damage boost+0.33% per 1%

Condemnation resets its own cooldown when it crits, from skill level 12, which is a second reason that top row matters. Where skill levels come from: the damage guide.

Double Chance comes off slot 4 of the Genus Special Board, helmet and cloak lines, and Wisdom [Lumiel] Pantheon. That's one slot on one board, so it's scarcer than it sounds. Pet Genus guide has the rolls.

Wings

PairKorean Clerics wearing it
Eroded Wings45%
Talisra Wings35%
Illusory Echo Wings9%

Eroded lead on max attack, multi-hit, HP and front attack damage boost.

Talisra take a solid 35% for cooldown reduction and accuracy, and cooldown reduction deserves a harder look on a healer than the raw numbers suggest. A cooldown coming back sooner is often worth more than a bigger number on the heal itself, and that's not something the damage model can tell you.

Illusory Echo sit at 9% but their owned effect is Double Chance, your best stat. Owned effects apply while you're wearing a different pair, so pick them up regardless.

Usage from aion2tool.com, Aug 21 2026. Eroded and Illusory Echo don't appear in the English client's wing list, so those names come from the Korean stats and may be called something else when you go looking.

Accuracy and crit floors

RaidAccuracyCrit
Ludra, global1,2001,200 to 1,400
Ludra, Korea1,5001,600
Corroded, Korea2,3502,500
Muspel Hard, Korea2,8003,150

Global has Ludra only so far, and its figures aren't confirmed.

Your damage chain is the mana bar

Three of your attacks hand mana back rather than spending it.

SkillDamageMP returned
Earth's Retribution50110
Thunder and Lightning52110
Discharge131150

Healing Light costs 50. So a full pass through the chain pays for seven of them and change, which is why a Cleric who never attacks runs dry and one who weaves doesn't. The damage is incidental. The mana is the point.

Light of Protection depends on whether you have a Chanter

This is the stigma the rest of the page kept pointing at, and the tooltip settles it.

It gives the caster and nearby party members +10.5% PvE damage boost and +10.5% PvE damage tolerance, halved in PvP, on a 5 second cooldown. Both halves at once, offence and defence, for the whole group.

Every stigma unlocks at 22

All thirteen, at once, at level 22. There's no drip feed and no order forced on you, which makes 22 the level where the class starts.

The group toolkit is most of that menu: Absolution clears two debuffs and heals 1,602-1,762 at once, Benevolence ticks 90-100 every two seconds for twenty, Salvation makes you immune for three, and Summon Resurrection is the res. Between them that's most of what a party asks a Cleric for.
