Guest RiskReward Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hey all, Looking to play Aion Classic when it launches with my Girlfriend, who is a long-time League of Legends player. Wondering what some good duos are for Aion? Is it not a very duo-based game? (I am completely new to Aion franchise) She likes "cute" girl characters, I generally like high-risk, high-reward with a high-skill ceiling, but I want to make sure she and I can play together. I watched Society of Gaming's video, and Chanter, Spiritmaster, and Assassin sounded interesting. Maybe the Priest too, b/c I enjoy healing, but am not sure how Priest combo's with more squishy characters she's likely to want to play. Thanks ahead of time!

If you both want to play in duo, then I would recommend you two classes: Cleric and spirit master. With those two I believe both can enjoy all the features of the game.

Thanks ahead of time! Sorcerer and Cleric are "high-risk". Cleric, or Spiritmaster are "high-reward". Nothing is "high-skill ceiling" really; Cleric, Gladiator, and Templar are weaker compared to other classes in this patch. Tbh, your description of what you want isn't sufficient for me to make suggestions. 3 hours ago, Guest RiskReward said: Wondering what some good duos are for Aion? Is it not a very duo-based game? I would say a good duo depends on the players, not the classes really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arhangelos Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 A healer and a SM is a long term bet, I know they do not have good pet stigmas in the very first patches (I could be wrong) but they will eventually get those. In the old times Clerics and SM were those that could solo every instance boss because of how their classes were designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johncena Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Well, the assassin is probably with the highest skill ceiling, you can do some sneaky stuff with it, dependant on cds, if you played WoW its similar to rogue. Its not the easiest class, but very fun and satisfying, both in pve and pvp. Cleric is better than chanter in healing, but chanter is good too, because of the buffs that in brings, although heals are not as good as clerics, and they dont have dispell, to remove debuffs, so i would recommend cleric. BUT the steamrolling duo is glad and cleric. Glad is great, but they can be kited, this is why clerics are their best companion. Like in WoW, warrior + priest. No problem making your own group in pve, cause you already have a tank and a healer. Anything can go well if you have pocket cleric tbh, but glads are on another level when they cant be stopped.

Cyfur Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Gladiator and Cleric or Gladiator and Chanter used to be very effective duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassins needed good gear and to put in more work, click more buttons and be a bit smarter than others. Literally all the classes are easy (again besides chanter), but assassins were the hardest of them all. By saying that they have the highest skill ceiling, i dont mean you need to get a PhD in astrophysics. You just have more room to make big plays due to their kit. You can pick any class and go "oooh but they are easy" and not add anything, no counter argument or anything at all, and feel proud, just like you did now.

Assassin is extra easy because it's overpowered and forces unoriginality in playstyle. There, happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest st0n3 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Assasin isn't easy cause of game engine being pretty cruel to smallest attack range during movement attacks. Knowing how to deal with "target is too far" isn't easy by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wut? there've never been any besides extendable weapons, which are pretty much dead for sin since you need both of them, losing entire pvp bonus unlike 2-handers.

MayBlue-DN Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Play the two classes you would have fun playing. We can make it work with any combo. If I were to duo, it would be Chanter/Glad. (*Aside from Ranger/Ranger, of course. ) Chanter is heal/support and Glad is tank/dps. 22 hours ago, Guest RiskReward said: She likes "cute" girl characters Oh, don't we all.... Any character can be a cute girl. The classes are not gender locked. 22 hours ago, Guest RiskReward said: I generally like high-risk, high-reward with a high-skill ceiling, For me, Spirit Master was the most difficult class to figure out because we are playing our char and the attack pet at the same time. You may be able to use the attack pet as your tank, so Spirit Master/Cleric looks good good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in classic though. Cleric and sorc is still a better combo, chanter was fairly garbage IF you consider PVP Also, unless things change a great deal- glads were not necessarily such good tanks early on. You're probably thinking of glads now ( I don't want to assume , but thinking 10 years back, things were different and it is easy to forget) Also, going by high risk high rewards, highest s kill ceiling - that would put sorcs and sins in the highest group, SMs could maybe make an argument in PVE for having a certain skill level to get really good DPS, however in PVP I would say even in classic they still had an edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crush Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 My vote would be for SM and Cleric. You could do a lot of PvE with just them, although it may be a tad slow but they'll have a lot of survivability. For PvP that would be a pretty powerful combo as well. If you guys are planning to group with others often in pugs I'd go Temp and Cleric, then you just need dps which is easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amaterasu Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hiyaz, Gladiator / Chanter was a fun duo I did back in the days decent survivability and dps. SM and Cleric pretty much means you can farm alot and epic survivability. Or you can do the fun lonely cleric walking along by themselves unbeknownst to those stalking the cleric there is an assassin laying in wait to ambush the clerics would be attackers.

Arhangelos Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Most people will be hit hard with how much harder classes were back in the days and how awfully slow their attacks and casts were. Now pretty much everyone solos everything with maxed out c.speed/a.speed and speed. Forget about all the boosts and special skills etc of 6.0+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallium-DN Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'm very interested in this topic, so please keep it active I'm considering playing Classic casually with my sister, so finding a good duo is something we are searching for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pves Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It depends on the content you want to do, how much you play ( meaning if you want to rush to 50 or take your time) etc For example: For duo pvp you can even play Sin+Sin and gank everything that moves or Sin/Ranger If you want to slowly reach 50 having fun, glad/chanter or sorc/chanter Or if you focus on dungeon play it would be a good option Templar/cleric in order to make you life easier on group search. Imo since you can solo to 50, every duo comp is good, two players is better and more fun than one Just remember to have fun in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing how to deal with "target is too far" isn't easy by any means. This thread is too funny. Anyone going "all classes are easy" either never played when Aion came out or forgot what it was like. For example, all those shard wars that some people are so looking forwards to? which classes do you think liked flight PVP? that's right - quite a few classes didn't have all of those QOL additions. Sins probably had an argument for having one of the hardest times in flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloing to 50 in thee "original" classic would have been a nightmare, it would have been horribly slow and boring. I think that the XP grind will be reduced a bit, but really the original Aion wasn't designed at all for solo play - even though technically speaking there were some (very few) bosses that could be soloed by a few classes.
