Hey all,

Was just wondering if there is any difference between the two races? Such as stats or any difference in skills in the later levels.

Can you let me know differences and give me a bit of info on them if possible? Me and two friends are torn on which race to be, and want another deciding factor other then black wings/white wings.

Much appriciated, thanks!

There are differences for sure... They basically come down to Elyos being better in healing, and Asmodian better in carnage. It's all in the background of the two races' evolution through the years.

On our L2 clanforum (we mass-hop to Aion), examples were given from Korean/Chinese experiences:

exampe : templar skill
elyos gives damage and block every atack for 15 secs
asmodian gives damage and block 20 atacks (max damage of 10K) for 20 secs
elyos wins since it makes you invincible for 15 secs

example : chanter skill
elyos gives barrier to party memebers absorbing 5K damage and heal every 3 secs hp for 442 (barrier absorbs 50% of damage)
asmodian gives barrier to party members absorbing 6K damage (barrier absorbs 60% of damage)
elyos wins it gives you less barrier but gives you heal which in full scale makes you last longer

No examples on damage, but I expect Asmodian to be superior there ;)

I have to disagree with your conjecture on those two skills Reizla: The templar skill is limited to 20 hits for the asmo, but lasts 5 secs longer, so it could be better for a more skilled player who can avoid damage in melee, and due to cast times is better vs. casters. The Chanter skill can end up better for the asmo in heavy damage situations since it will absorb more, while the elyos absorbs less, but applies a slow hot.

There are slight differences in these powers, but each one is just slightly more situational than the other. I do not see one being better than the other.

Don't forget to add that asmodians get black/dark wings, elyos white/light.  Asmos get clawed feet, compared to typical feet on Elyos.

Cheers! =D

Also don't forget that Asmodians are slightly less flamboyant than Elyos.

It's slightly more than that.  The Asmo version is better for 1 verses 1 fights because it's unlikely 1 opponent can get in 20hits in 20seconds.  Meaning, the Asmo version in effect provides 20seconds of invulnerability versus the Enyo's 15.  However, the Enyo's version is better when facing multiple opponents because it is more likely that multiple people can hit one PC 20 times in 20 seconds.
