All vikisClass Changes
Pick your Aion 2 class and see every change NC's global patch notes made to it since the Oct 5, 2026 launch, patch by patch: buffs, nerfs, reworks and skill fixes, with NC's own numbers and a link to each set of notes.
Class Changes lists what each patch of Aion 2's global version changed for your class, from NC's own patch notes: pick a class and see its buffs, nerfs and fixes, newest first. The biggest so far came on Oct 27, 2026 (PDT), when Grobs read out "our first class changes": 1,000 or 1,500 more base HP at level 45 for every class, and an Illusive Clone cooldown cut from 90 to 60 seconds that he called "an insane buff for all assassins".

How to use it
- Pick your class, or All for the changes that touch every class at once, such as the HP increase of Oct 27 and the equal stats of Chaotic Outer Reshanta.
- Read the list, newest patch first. Each change names the skill it touches, when it touches one, and its kind: a buff, a nerf, a rework, a fix or something new.
- Filter by kind to see only the buffs, or only the bug fixes, and follow a patch's link to read NC's notes in full.
Where the changes come from
Every change is taken from NC's English patch notes for the global version, posted on NC's board and on Steam, and keeps NC's numbers. Since the Advanced Access start on Sep 30, 2026 and the launch on Oct 5, four sets of notes have changed classes:
- Nov 3, 2026 (PST): the Ludra update opened Chaotic Outer Reshanta, where every character's stats, skill levels and Stigma levels are set to the same values and only the bonuses and specialization effects of class skills and Stigmas still count (NC on Steam; Chaotic Abyss).
- Oct 27, 2026 (PDT): base HP at level 45 rose from 4,702 to 6,202 for the Gladiator and Templar and to 5,702 for the other six classes, alongside lower boss Attack in Expeditions and Transcendence, "to improve survivability for melee Classes" in NC's words; the Assassin's Heightened Sixth Sense gained HP (1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 at skill levels 5, 10 and 20) and Illusive Clone's cooldown fell from 90 to 60 seconds (NC on Steam; Assassin Guide).
- Oct 20, 2026 (PDT): fixes to the Chanter's Spinning Strike and to the Sorcerer's Cold Storm (Frostbite's extra damage, its strength by skill level and an extra application with Specialty 1) and Fire Wall, which had dealt extra damage to targets without Embers (NC on Steam; Sorcerer Guide; Chanter Guide).
- Oct 13, 2026 (PDT): the Spiritmaster's Summon: Ancient Spirit uses its skills again at level 15 or below; the Sorcerer's Fire Wall, Cold Storm and Bittercold Wind work when the target stands higher or lower, and another player's stronger Embers or Frostbite no longer removes yours; Battlefield stats were adjusted so fights there last an appropriate time (NC on Steam; Spiritmaster Guide; Battlefield).
The other notes of the global version changed no class: those of Oct 6, 2026 (Founder's Pack items, Sealed Wings morphing, map pins), the launch maintenance of Oct 4 (boss stats, quest objects, character deletion), the maintenance of Oct 8 (wing Flight Power) and the hotfix of Nov 4 (a Hard option shown by mistake). The Korean version's balance patches are a different history, about a year ahead (Updates and Seasons), so a tier list made in Korea can rank a class on changes the global patches above have not yet made (Tier List; Classes).
Frequently asked questions
Has NC nerfed any class in Aion 2's global version? Not by name as of Nov 8, 2026. Every class change in the global notes so far is a buff or a bug fix, although some fixes take away damage that was never meant to be there, such as Fire Wall's extra damage on targets without Embers (Oct 20).
Which class got the most changes? The Sorcerer, through bug fixes to Fire Wall, Cold Storm and Bittercold Wind on Oct 13 and Oct 20, 2026. The Assassin got the only skill buffs, on Oct 27.
How much HP did every class get on Oct 27, 2026? At level 45, the Gladiator and Templar went from 4,702 to 6,202 base HP (+1,500) and the Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Cleric and Chanter from 4,702 to 5,702 (+1,000).
Are Korean balance changes included? No. The tool lists only the global version's patches, since the Korean and Taiwanese versions run on their own balance.
How often is the tool updated? With each weekly patch: NC posts its notes on Wednesday in Europe, after the maintenance.
