For the AION 2 Global launch, the supplied tier list places Spiritmaster alone in S-Plus, Gladiator and Chanter in S, Cleric and Templar in A, and Ranger, Sorcerer, and Assassin in B. The ranking is based on the global build and a Launch Scale Test capped at level 37, so early damage comparisons—especially for Ranger—may change at max level.
AION 2 Global launch tiers
| Tier | Classes |
|---|---|
| S-Plus | Spiritmaster (also called Elementalist) |
| S | Gladiator, Chanter |
| A | Cleric, Templar |
| B | Ranger, Sorcerer, Assassin |
The video says it considers solo leveling speed, group contributions in dungeons and raids, crowd control, survivability, and Abyss flight PvP. It does not provide enough detail to establish specific class advantages or explain every placement, so use the tiers as the creator’s overall ranking—not as a verified comparison for every role or situation.
Why regional rankings may not carry over
The ranking is specifically for the global build. The source cites five-player dungeons, a ten-player first raid, a four-Stigma cap, and no Heroic gear in Season One as global conditions that differ from the versions in Korea and Taiwan.
The Brawler is not included in the stated eight-class global launch lineup, though the source says it is live in Korea and Taiwan. The Spiritmaster’s English name was not final in the source material, which is why it also appears as Elementalist.
Treat the damage placements cautiously: the test stopped at level 37, and the source says those comparisons may shift at max level. Use this list to compare the stated launch tiers, then reassess damage rankings when max-level information is available.
