AION 2 Global Gladiator Leveling Guide - Level 1 to 45

This isn't a static leveling guide. It tracks your character and tells you exactly what to take next at every level. Level up, spend points, reset something: the guide updates around your current build.

This is a knockdown-and-slam Gladiator setup for solo leveling. Crushing Wave and Rending Blow cut through packs, and every knockdown from Mocking Blade or Wrath Wave, like every hit of Rage Burst, opens Overhead Slam, your hardest hit. Leaping Slam carries you to the next pack, and Crushing Wave's HP absorb keeps you going between pulls.

How it works

  1. Start from level 1, or load your character from the official armory and continue from your current skills and Daevanion nodes.
  2. Set your level with the slider. Grab the Daevanion nodes first, then level the shown skills, pick the listed Specialties and slot the stigmas.
  3. Set up the quick slots and macro once. Blue skills go in the macro; cast the amber skills yourself.

Daevanion

Open the amber nodes in number order before raising skills. Hover a node to see it.

The first Daevanion board opens at level 12.

Skills

Your skills as the skill window shows them after the Daevanion nodes. Raise the amber ones and pick their Specialties.

Quick Slots

Amber keys are cast by hand; the macro presses the blue ones. A slot casts the first ready skill from its bottom row up.

Macro

Set the macro once in the skill preset you level with. Manual input takes priority over the macro.

  1. 1
    Rending Blow Quick Use 12 (key 8)

  2. 2
    Keen Strike Quick Use 1 (left mouse)
    Delay 10 ms

Turn on Skill Queue under Settings > Combat > Controls: without it, the steps the macro presses while a skill is still casting are lost.

The guide leaves the right mouse button free: bind the macro to it under Settings > Key Settings > General > Macro and hold it while you fight. Mouse hotkeys do not work in AION 1 Control Mode.

How to play

What to do yourself at this level.

  • Hold the macro key while you fight; press the amber keys yourself.
