Templar is the boring one, statistically speaking, and that's fine. No crit-damage passive, no always-crit skill, normal positional uptime. Every other class has some quirk that bends the damage formula. You don't.
Which means general stat advice just works for you, no mental corrections needed. It also means neither crit stat is where your gear should go.
Crit is your weakest pair of stats
Assassins, Rangers, Clerics and Chanters have a passive feeding them crit damage, which leaves them taking crit chance at +0.61% a point. You've got no passive, so your two crit stats land close together and both land low.
| Stat | You | Them |
|---|---|---|
| +1% Crit chance | +0.44% | +0.61% |
| +1% Critical damage boost | +0.36% | +0.33% |
Chance wins for you as well, which is new. Korea's cap is 80% and crit damage pulls ahead before you reach it, so a Korean Templar rolls the opposite lines to you.
The useful part isn't which of the two wins. It's that Double ChanceKorea calls this Smite, attack increase and combat speed are worth close to double either, so crit lines are the first thing to give up on a piece you're deciding about.
Stat priority
| Stat | Per unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Double Chance | +0.80% per 1% | Best offensive stat in the game, no contest |
| Attack increase | +0.76% per 1% | |
| Combat speed | +0.74% per 1% | Ping eats into this one |
| Front/back boost | +0.70% per 1% | You're tanking, you're in front, free value |
| Damage boost | +0.63% per 1% | Shares a bucket with PvE and boss boosts |
| Weapon damage boost | +0.62% per 1% | |
| Crit chance | +0.44% per 1% | Stops paying at the 50% cap |
| Attack | +0.43% per 10 | |
| Critical damage boost | +0.36% per 1% | |
| Attack bonus | +0.34% per 10 | Last |
Top three are flat multipliers, same for everyone. Below that is where your class differs.
Double Chance comes from slot 4 of the Genus Special Board, helmet and cloak lines, and the Wisdom [Lumiel] Pantheon stat. Only the one Genus slot carries it. Pet Genus guide has the rolls worth locking.
Wings: the Korean stats say Eroded
| Pair | Korean Templars wearing it |
|---|---|
| Eroded Wings | 77% |
| Talisra Wings | 9% |
| Brawler Wings | 3.5% |
77% is as close to settled as this game gets. Max attack, multi-hit, HP and front attack damage boost, all on one pair. Offence and survivability together, which is the tank's entire problem solved in one slot.
Talisra if you want cooldown reduction, Brawler if you're getting shredded and need the status resist. Neither is the default.
Collect all three anyway. Owned effects work while you've got a different pair equipped, so there's no reason not to.
Usage from aion2tool.com, Aug 21 2026. Eroded doesn't appear in the English client's wing list, so that name comes from the Korean stats and may read differently in game.
Hit your accuracy and crit floors first
| Raid | Accuracy | Crit |
|---|---|---|
| Ludra, global | 1,200 | 1,200 to 1,400 |
| Ludra, Korea | 1,500 | 1,600 |
| Corroded, Korea | 2,350 | 2,500 |
| Muspel Hard, Korea | 2,800 | 3,150 |
Missing these costs you more than any single stat above gains. Whiffing does zero damage. The global row is a projection and nobody has measured it yet.
Judgment before everything
Most of your damage goes through Judgment, so its skill level beats anything on this page. Level it, then come back and worry about stat lines. Its cooldown comes off entirely at skill level 16, and the damage guide has the rest of the tiers.
Enmity is a printed number, and Taunt is 20,000 of it
Most tanks guess at threat. Yours is written on the tooltips.
Four of your strikes say "increases Enmity" without a figure, and Judgment adds it on a five second cooldown for 227. Then Taunt, at 22, adds 20,000 in one press. Nothing else in the kit is on that scale, which makes it the button for taking something back rather than for holding it.
Insulting Roar is the passive that matters here: +100% Enmity Boost, doubling everything above, plus 5.5% Attack for five seconds when you land a front attack. It comes in at 17.
So the shape is: hold with the strikes, double them with Insulting Roar, and keep Taunt for the moment a healer pulls something off you.
The rest arrives at 22
All thirteen stigmas at once, like every class. For a tank that's the point where you stop improvising.
