    Aion PvP and End Game

    Does Aion have a style of PvP like arena in World of Warcraft? Like anything like 2v2 3v3 5v5, or some sort of competetive pvp? Also does it have HNM or World Bosses which players have to compete with each other for claims?

    The PvP is exactly like WoW.
    And the HNM is exactly like FFXI.

    From what i've read. Aion end game pvp is the Dredgion instance. Since some ppl will be grinding for those 1million AP weapons, pvping in the abyss won't do much for you. Most people that high rank wise won't want to engage in pvp because they will lose massive points if they die, so they stick to pve grinding elites in the core.

    Also is binding like a must like most classes in World of Warcraft? or does clicking make no difference?

    You'll probably want to bind, the lag in the Abyss is horrible.

    An annoying thing is that if you are turning your camera while you hit a keybind, your mouse cursor will vanish, making you have to click and refind it on your screen to be able to click an ability you don't have bound.

    It'd be sweet if they added an arena type system and balanced pvp for it. But I don't think it exists at the moment.

    All melee classes are pretty awful in PvP till later in the game.

    Sins are bottom rung, we are top pve dps but in pvp we fail very hard. We take a lot of dmg up close and have very few closers and no snares. At 50 we get an aerial stun but either way, if you're fighting in the air and your opponent is over 20% hp you're fucked and not going to win.

    Templar/Cleric/Chanter = must have for PVE.

    Sorcs high demand because they are the only class with enough CC for instances.

    In PVP Clerics and Templars are tough to kill for most classes, Rangers/Assassins are the big gank classes, although Assassins suck in zergs obv.

    Sorc/SM are also strong 1v1/1vx.

    You don't NEED a templar, well for instances. I like using a glad because there are so few templars on my server, and glads can usually maintain aggro better on 2 targets. Templars are nice for "oh shit" pulls though.

    Finding random gladiators that can tank is just a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone.

    My set group is templar/glad/sorc/ranger/chanter/cleric.

    Wrong, Wrong, Yes.

    Templars and Clerics are pretty ridiculous at 50.
