That's right, for better or for worse, after ncsoft detonated the old forums, I decided I am going to remake my old 4.7 guide. In immortalized Video format, so even if THESE forums detonate, it's there forever. Since I've done it this way however, I will not be doing a text based version of the guide to save your eyes from the TL:DR
Now.. I'm not saying I'm the end all be all, but.. At the very least I hope this can start as a stable starting point for anyone who is looking at the class in terms of how to play or fight it. At least.. From how I've learned to do so. The video is also in a visual format that can for the most part be watched without sound and has sections that take advantage of youtube's 5 second scrolling allowing for easy pausing and switching between certain slides. (Some sections not all)
Chapter legend
0. 0:00 introduction
1. 1:28 Items
2. 2:38 Gear
3. 6:38 Basic information and skill build
4. 8:26 templar skills and builds
5. 10:21 core templar skill usage
6. 12:20 Combo showcase
7. Ending
This video is going to cover the fundamentals with an Open Q&A. In the comments on the video and on this topic. And if it's wanted I'll do class Vs class breakdowns as I felt they were each worthy of their own videos in and of themselves

Would anyone please explain why Tac ChainSword has 345 - 383 Attack Base and Stormwing 320 - 354 Attack base.
Why a fabled item is better than a eternal in base stats? this makes absolutely not sense to me. Is this a bug or wtf its going on there?
Thanks
This is the case with all the weapons, Tac has a higher base attack than stormwing on every weapon. The trade off however is the remainder of your core stats (crit and accuracy are the main ones) The weapon is meant to be a buy in placeholder that allows you to gain access to stormwing gear.
On 6/3/2023 at 5:26 PM, Jake-DN said:Tac weapons have higher base stats than most SW weapon counterparts. They have only 1 of the 3 needed stat mods though, which is why theyre just used as a placeholder until you get an actual end game weapon. Stormwing weapons were never best in slot, nor good in comparison to other 55 eternals.
The fact remains though, that Stormwings chainsword is leagues better than the Tac weapon due to the added stats, as well as the fact that Exe skills have high base attack, and chainswords have a high base damage, to where 30 attack isn't going to provide a noticable damage difference. Chainswords have a very gross crit multiplier, to where even in SR gear with no pvp accessories, youll still crit 3-5k's in PvP. The crit on the Stormwings > attack difference. Aim for ABG obviously combined with another 55 eternal that offers attack/crit/acc, and that's the same meta all classes are in right now.
edit: good news for Exe's, Parry or MR is going to be the meta due to how gross the weapon is functionally designed. So Manastones aren't an issue once you can hit 600-700 crit. (also why SW > Tac)
^Jake summed this up perfectly, the only reason I have quoted this is to add that right now parry is the play for exe as it allows for management of it's resource, as well as an on demand attack buff (it has it's own version of courageous shield) as well as access to it's highest single target output on non knocked back targets along with an on demand knockback to begin full damage output on a single target. It's also SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper of a first set to buy in comparison to MR.

Currently, even NCsoft (internal) shown a ratio of 6.2 (elyos) to 3.8 (asmo) at all times. But asmo are more active in seige and more geared player(at the moment). But since NC is planning to hand out free pvp gear to everyone, things would flip soon if elyo's pve hero also comes to seige or open pvp.
So any plan from NC on this? LFG on Asmo is much less active then elyos, it would take 50% more time to LFG anytime for asmo (even during peak hours).
If you mean NZ then the gear statement would be correct. On SL however the Elyos HEAVILY outgear the Asmos right now (Asmos are winning on the stigma front though)
But siege results are ALWAYS going to be based on turn out, numbers are pinnacle and will determine siege outcome. 100% of the time. Sadly people show up when they want to and there's no real way to control that outside of heavy advertising and pre-planning.
I did however notice an extremely sharp drop off on elyos siege participation on SL since the executor patch. However based on how the last Agent skirmish went it seems that the elyos will show up in droves to things they want still. I dunno if they prefer the buff or what right now, but it's interesting to see.0 -

Greetings GM_NCA!
- Free Siel’s Aura Benefits Extension!
- Event Duration: May 9 – June 13
As a show of gratitude for OUR SUPPORT are you refunding the ‘Siel's Aura ' THAT WE ALREADY RENEWED AND PAID MONEY FOR 3 MONTHS IN ADVANCED since the event period was extended for another 28 days (BASICALLY A WHOLE MONTH THAT WE PAID FOR NOTHING)? ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF THE FETAURES WE PAY FOR DOES NOT WORK (150% AP AQUISTION)?!?!
If you choose to take our money then say you're giving what WE PAID IN ADVACNED for free, NOT GRAITUDE THATS DISRESPECTFUL!
Thank you,
The Player Team
Gonna just.. screen capture this portion of the patch notes in the ever so likely event they do NOT do the second thing here.2 -
So.. does this mean that none of the "Known issues" are going to be fixed in any capacity in this patch? Or are these maintenance notes IN ADDITION to the previously mentioned known issues thread.
(If so please specify, if not PLEASE. SPECIFY.)0 -
It's become a trilogy

Heyy there Ncsoft.
Increased Drop rates (Balic Materials, etc.) and Kinah drop from August patch has been temporarily disabled.
https://www.aiononline.com/en-us/news/aion-classic-august-patch-preview
A fix for this issue should be implemented on March 1, 2023.Remember this..? Boy gee howdy it doesn't nyerking seem like it. This is the second week of me once again. FOR FREE I am offering to fix the following.
- The drop rate being reverted upon the NA reception of the 2.5 patch (This takes 6 minutes to fix)
- Adjust the HP of core/upper/ground sieges to match the current dwindling playerbase
-QoL changes including changes to scrolls cooldowns, attempting multiple socketing attempts with multiple stones and more.
If you do not wish to take me up on this offer I shall offer you a secondary method of fixing your mistakes, bring me in and I will compensate the players as follows: Or, go ask your daddies in korea to do it, which doesn't matter. And before you ask, yes they have to have logged in at any point from 2.5 patches launch til the maintenence week you implement these.
- Institute a felicitious socketing even for the month of april as a partial compensation form (Manastones still blow up, but previously socketed stones are kept for event duration) for the sheer lack of drops
-Institute and extend the drop rate event we currently have (2x on instance bosses) To all mobs within the instances, and extend this to the padmarashka's cave instance for the remainder of the event duration
-Institute a change to allow tac NCO gear to be broken down for Enchantment stones. (There's 0 reason these should be unbreakable)
-Institute a one time conciliatory package containing the following compensation items: (and why because I know you need this to be explained to you)
-Premium manastone selection bag x50 (allows you to open 50 TRADEABLE Green grade manastones)
- Major ancient crown bundle x15 (Make up for those who were lied to about turn in rates)
- 55e Elite archon/centurion weapon selection box (The 50e was nice, but at least give cap leveled gear as a compensation for this absolute screw up)
-Player choice between: Platinum medal bundle x25 Sapphire medal bundle x50 (To make up for the lack of medals from UA sieges)
Let me put this in a way your investor BDSM mommies understand: I shall increase your profit margins per month/quarter/yearly if you bring me on as an individual contractor. FOR FREE!!!
Seriously, do I have to open a private server and get served a 'Cease and Desist' order to get your attention?12 -
^This. The fight is extremely buggy please add this to the list of things to be addressed.

People need to log on to Twitter aion ops and publicly show what this provider is doing. It may or may not help, but it's starting to feel like theft. 4 weeks of this shi. Is a long time
You know.. I would've agreed with you but, Given that I go through the Aionops twitter to get here, I kid you not, in 6 months i've outdone their follower count by just making garbage content. All.. as of... 10:26PM est 3/8/23 561 people that viewed the maintenance post could complain if they wanted, their outreach is so small on the platform now their own self mad irrelevancy would just let them ignore that too.
Seriously, they have a multi million dollar branch just sitting here pissing profit margins away out of sheer negligence and stupidity. I'd ask how their investors feel about the treatment of the western branch, but given the significantly large downsizing that's happening and the fact all current job postings are for newer projects, they're going to let this die. It's been their plan since 2.0 launched and it didn't perform up to expectations over here. They'll never publically admit it, but watching your 'flagship' IP that carried you for a decade pull in roughly 400 players on the western servers about 260 of which are bots..? Yeah, they're letting this ship sink. The sad part is they'll be quicker to ban my ass for telling you the truth than they are to address any of your legitimate complaints, If I get silenced, you know I'm right.4 -
Guys I get it.. No, really I understand, it's hard not understanding the job you applied for. I am offering you a one time opportunity. For FREE, yes free, I won't even make you pay me for it. I will come to the NCWest offices as an independent contractor, and do the following:
Fix the Ini and 6 lines of code for your drop rate issue
Adjust the Hp of the deities to appropriately scaled numbers for NA playerbase (This is also a simple change)
Re-adjust the relic turn in values (You can literally just change the values manually if you cannot get the conversion to work taking about 6 minutes total)
And implement a significant number of future patch quality of life changes that you have missed the opportunities on.
No, I'm not trolling, I have applied to your senior security engineering position, because I will start with the absolute disgrace of a server infrastructure you are giving us and fix this from the ground up. <-- I will however charge you for this one
The above changes I will unironically come into the office and fix these for you, for free. No charge, just fixed. I'm not going to get angry, or yell at you because I understand being this nyerking stupid is a full time job in and of itself, and you as the community manager... probably don't even know what a GUI is, so it's okay, let me fix this shit so you keep this dwindling raging playerbase.
At this point, you cannot convince me this isn't intentional. Stupidity like this is almost always malice.
