Elven Elder:the best PvP healer and the best mana regeneration. At this time this was written EE have defensive buffs along with the missing skill fo greater group heal. They are less desired in groups becuase of the lack of offensive buffs as many player aspire to the idea that a good defense is a good offense. Their speciality buffs in the defense catageory include advanced block and bless shield. They also perform as a sleeper (a spell used as mob and player crowd control) in groups. The ability to recharge a players MP gives it an advantage others do not haveThe cast speed and high % rez is where the EE really shines. Nowadays people can surpass the EE base stats using tattos but with a little money the EE should never let another player die due to the speed at which the heals come.
Prophet: The "Buffer" class They have the widest range of buffs of all the healers. Some of these buffs include haste2 ( increase atk spd), guidance(increase accuracy), focus(increase crit rate), acumen(increase cast speed), bezerk (lower p def for p atk and atk spd),bless body and bless soul (increase maximum hp/mp). This class gets heavy armor mastieres and which that comes the special ability to solo if need be. Most prophets find themselves at home in duo's trios where their buffs can significantly increase the killing power of there friends yet still maitain the mp to heal them. The downside of the prophet is no upgraded heals after lvl 35. So after a certain lvl they will turn into a "buffbot" where they will buff every 20 minutes and be extremely bored for the most part. Also most of the buff upgrades are finished after lvl 56 so not many 56+ prophets are activly playing. There crowd control is the ability to use root (makes mob/player) unable to move for 30 secs. This is a great character to earn money on as you are epending no money to hunt while the group kills
SE: The overall good healer. low men and low cast speed are its weaknesses however with a good spread of buffs and 3 good buffs including VR(u recieve hp bases on the damage you do) Wilde magic, and emp(increase m atk). They have good heals and the ability to cure paralysis. The most balance PvE healer in the game. The lack of haste2 will require a buffer in ur groups. however the ability to recharge a players MP gives it an advantage others do not have.
Bishop the reverse prophet. After lvl 35 the bishop will get no more buffs however its ability to heal and rez en mass is unparrelelled. Its unquine skill is the ability to heal a % of a players hp. This is a great skill when tanks start passing 6000 hp.
Warcryer:The party assiter. This is a special healer. Its buffs are party wide so it would take the same mp to buff 1 as it would take to buff 9 people. This leds the WC to get into large parties. Good combination of buffs that include haste2, VR, and acumen lead it to be the best all around buffer and when it comes to melee class the best buffer. unlike other healers it joins its party in kill mobs or people. It even has some good ofense skills. Also it gets an upgrade version of chant of life which is a strong heal over time. However on the flip side it does not have a single target heal. So when playing this character in a group with no other healers it might be best for you to tank and to use your life drain to keep u healed. This class can be played many different ways and playing it is the most difficult howver I have no doubt that anyone who plays this character will find something they like about it.
Nuker classes
Spellhowler: This class deals the most damage but has the lowest cast speed. If you want to deal daage this is the place to be. curse death link is the strongest spell in the game and if you are able to keep yourself at 0 hp you will be dealing about 6x your normal damage. The ability to transfer your hp to your mp allows you to keep your hp down this also allows for mp efficenty even if the SH has the lowest natural mp reg in the game this spell is able to override this. If u go for the standrad nuke corpse death link and body to mind allows you to keep you mp up. In seiges you will be devestaing. However the low hp means u are a primary target. So your wit will need to be keep in order. Silence allows this class to kill other nuker provided they have a higher cast speed than the other nuker
Sorceror medium m atk and medium cast speed. The inbetween character from a SH and SpS. Sleeping cloud will allow you to get in many groups with AoE crowd control is a big problem. A low version on body to mind allows them keep their mp up. At the lower lvls they can summon their summon and have the summon heal them to full mp.
SpS Fast cast speed low dmg. These nukers hit softly but can hit FAST. No real ability to keep their mp up makes them a little worse at PvE however they OWN at PvP. The aura flare on them also allows them to take out many melee at close range. this class is best when duoed with a SE
Healer Class:
Overlord:Clan/Alliance buffer & Crowd Control. One of the most annoying/useful classes for seiges, and at higher levels a bear in PvP. One of the main roles of the Overlord is their ability to buff all clan/alliance members that are within range, no party needed, no target needed. The Overlord is also the premier crowd controller, for PvE as well as mass PvP. Multiple area of effect (AoE) seals deal out debuffs & DoTs help bring groups of players/mobs/trains to a stop mostly resulting in death.
The high HP and CP of an Overlord always for them to live a bit longer than usual on the field of battle or out soloing. Overlords can wear all types of armor and get the wonderful Soul Guard ability. Soul Guard acts much like Soul Cry (which they continually get as they level up as well) except in a defensive way. For those who don't know Soul Cry adds a large amount to you Patk while constanly draining mana, and Soul Guard adds a very, very large amount of PDef while constantly draining mana.
Contrary to popular belief an Overlord can be a benefical part of your random pick up party due to their ability for mass crowd control, tanking capabilities and decent damage out put. Overlords also have Chant of Life for group party heals, but they stop learning new levels of it at 40. It is replaced with the ultra-rare Wishing Potion quest only amulet Heart of Paagrio, which, heals all clan/alliance members within spell range. In short, don't rely on an Overlord for random party heals, get a real healer.
The Overlord is a tough class to play, a little slow to level, but is nothing but fun, fun, and fun.
I'm sure I forgot something, other Overlords please feel free to add on.
Hybrid Damage dealer/ tank classes
These classes are special as they can both dish it out and still take damage. However, They do not have the "hate" skill so cannot be a dedicated tank for a PvE group. All of them suffer the draw back of being able to be kited easy however ToE to Toe in PvP this type is king.
Destroyer. The weaps master. This is the slow of the hybrid classes. However if it gets any class into its range say goodbye to that player. Its p atk is huge especially when it gets down to 1/5 hp. This class uses 2 handed weaps and usually is carrying around a 2 handed sword however bows are not uncommon for this class either. At the higher lvls they have a heal and a maximum hp buff. With plenty of skills and versatility this class can be enjoyed by anyone in the game.
Gladiatorthe dual master. After the destroyer the glad is the best melee fighter. unlike the destoryer they do have some skills to stop them from being kited. include sonic blaster. This classes damage comes from the high p atk of the weaps they use and their skills which employ these weasp FAST. This class need to "charge" up for many of its attacks and this can leave them vurable for a short period of time. with a good player behind this character this character can even be a dedicated tank for a group. However with the lack of the "hate" skill most people are unable to do this
Warlordthe multiple mob person. This person utlizes a polearm. And while its p atk and atk speed are low which discourages 1v1 mob and PvP fighting. The ability to hit multiple mobs makes it highly prized for some groups. To factilitate its ability to kill multiple mobs it has debuffs which lower the mobs p atk dramatically. It also has a slightly worse version of hate aura meaning this class could theorically be a standard tank for a standard group. However this class excels in ""pole groups" while round up 5-15 mobs at kill them all at once. This class requires SS and potions and a duoed healer at the later lvls. This class can generate alot of money though as a 3 SS charge up hits every mob with the same dmg as it would do 1v1. In PvP this class has a disadvatage as that people usually do not get close enough together for the warlord to use his main advantage. However in the inner throne room where people are squished together this is where the warlord shines in PvP.
Party assisting buffers.
These classes are unquie is that their greatest skill is buffing even if they are a melee class. They cast song or dances that last aprox 5 minutes and only work on the people in ur group however these are the strongest stackable buffs in the game. They stack with the healer class buffs. Making them highly prized in groups. And even though their main purpose is to buff the group they have decent damage deal capacity
Bladedancer. This classes uses duals as its attack weap. I cannot perfrom its dances without equiped duals. More than any other class this locks the class to the duals. This classes buffs focus more on offense. The include dances that raise p atk, crit damage, atk spd, accuracy, and m atk. This class cannot hold (mantain the buff) more than 3 or 4 dances up for a group. So dances must be chosen carefully. With drain, Ice bolt and a few other PvP skills this class does expetionally well though it will not be able to go toe to toe with a hybrid class
Swordsinger. this is the singer. They recieve sowrd/blunt masteries however those are not required to be equipped to perform their buffs. Damage dealing SwS's usually use a 2 handed sword (which the masteries work for) or duals. This class gets buffs related to more of the defense stlye including: increase in p def, m def, undead defense, speed, healing ability, max hp. This class is rare in that they have no offense skills. They do have the ability to heal themselves which can be great and lifesaving in PvE however this lack puts them at a disadvantage in PvP. However since they are so rare getting groups with one of these should be no prob.
Versatility Classes--
Summoners: The three summoner classes, the Elemental Summoner, the Phantom Summoner, and the Warlock, are the most versatile, independant and adaptable class in Lineage 2, as well as being pretty much the rarest (other than orc mystics ). Low level summoners (40-52) usually use their basic nuking capabilities learned at level 35 until their spells begin to fail, and they switch to melee. Their summons are grouped into the following categories-- the PvP and money-farming summon, the soloing summon, and the special summon (as of C3). The summoner can heal his summon with advanced heals and buff his summon with advanced support magic, similar to that of a prophet, but only on their summon.
Each summoner and their summons have a completely different playstyle compared to other summoners, unlike other classes, in which the playstyle is almost always the same between classes. Summoners are so versatile that they may choose between any light armor or robes, and can justify using almost any weapon of equal value that another class would utilize.
Summoners specialize in more efficient soloing. Their summon might hinder some of their exp, but if played correctly, they never have to sit. Almost never.
Summoners are decent at PvP, because even though they can't deal amazing amounts of damage, they can certainly take a hit (with "Transfer Pain"), and be
Economy Holders
Dwarfs are the money making classes. Unlike other classes in this game they do not specialize in combat techniques, they specialize in earning money. Also at this time there is no mystic classes for this race. Dwarfs get skills in the polearm and the blunt.
Bounty hunter. This class is the one that hunts mobs for mats to craft new weaps and armor. It utilizes "spoil and sweep" to obtain extra materials or items from mobs. They also get the skill fake death which allows you to play dead for a certain amount of time unagroing mobs and allowing you to train mobs on other players.
Warsmith. This class takes the mats from other classes to craft useful items. Beware as u will spend many a hour in town crafting or shopping. However at the high end lvls no other class can even get close to what this class makes. This class also gets summons. Certain summons can help in PvE and allow quicker soloing which inevitable the WS ends up doing due to the low atk and the missing hate skill. These classes are the focal point for seiges as they summon large cannons or other summons that can take down castle walls and doors.
