Why consider it?
A dedicated shield-and-threat toolkit for the party front line.
Shield tank
AION 2 Templar
Templar is the shield-focused tank in NC’s class guide. Its job involves more than surviving: keeping a useful position lets allies attack without constantly chasing or avoiding the same enemy.
