Diff - ranger skills - AION 2 Wiki

11 This page lists every Ranger skill in AION 2: twelve Mastery actives, thirteen Stigma skills and ten passives, with Korean names, unlock levels, cooldowns, MP costs, elements, specialty options and a dated balance history. NCsoft's official guidebook describes the Ranger as the master of arrows who controls enemies from range with a bow, a strategic class that reads the whole battlefield and responds through positioning and timing.

34 English skill names come from the global client. Descriptions follow the official Korean guidebook (skill page updated September 16, 2026) and the global client tooltips. Unlock levels, cooldowns and MP costs are level 1 values from the global client snapshot dated September 18, 2026. The Element column follows the Korean service's September 16, 2026 update and the guidebook; the global client tooltips do not name elements. The balance history comes from the Korean service's official update notes.

56 How Ranger Skills Fit Together

Suppressing Arrow only works while it is active, and Deadshot deals 35% more damage during it.Slow and root: Snare Shot slows, Shackling Arrow roots, and Burst Arrow can only target a slowed or rooted enemy; Explosive Arrow and Rooting Eye deal more damage to such targets.Critical hits: Drill Dart only becomes usable after a critical hit, and Hunter's Soul adds damage on criticals.Damage over time: Drill Dart's Bleed and Griffon Arrow's Crimson Flames feed Concentrated Fire, which hits targets taking damage over time.Charge shot: Deadshot charges through three levels, each adding damage and stagger damage.Traps: Explosion Trap and Ensnaring Trap are placed at the Ranger's feet and trigger when an enemy steps in.NPC rules: stun and seal chances that can fail against players always land on NPCs.
