I just started playing and i was wondering what is the best class for me, so far im thinking a ranger type or a class that uses duel weild. I'm mainly playing this game for the pvp and im wondering if anyone could tell me which class is the best for either of these. Any info would be a great help.
I see you're interested in a PvP-oriented class. Archers excel in PvP, so I suggest any of the three main archer classes-- Phantom Ranger, Hawkeye, or Silver Ranger. After that its mostly just a matter of preference-- what race/style do you like? :D
Just look at the links below until you find the Hawkeye under human link and Silver Ranger under the Elf link. Also look at their first classes-- you'll start out as a elf/human fighter, then move onto an Elf Scout/Human Rogue, and then onto the 2nd class change. Don't worry about the 3rd class change for now-- that's for level 75s and above ^__^
As for general differences (my main isn't an archer so I can't really specify without going too far into arguable issues)--
--Hawkeyes have a long range, high HP, good resistance to stun, good speed and evasion, and high damage. Great for sieges.
--Silver Rangers have high speed, high attack speed, high crit rate, higher evasion, decent damage. Good for general PvP.
Thanks alot for the info on Rangers, i think im gonna go w/ hawkeye. But i have 1 more question, im also lookin for a good melee class, i wanted to do something like hell knight, but from what i see its just a tank, again, im lookin for a PvP based melee fighter, and ideas?
The Gladiator is a PvP-centered melee class- they also dual-wield, like you mentioned. But be warned-- in Lineage II, melee classes have a distinct disadvantage in PvP that it commonly complained about (but NCSoft is reluctant to do anything about it, so we hate them ^__>...). Nukers and archers are the main ways of PvPing, but that isn't to say other classes are bad at it-- its just that melees are notoriously underpowered when it comes to 1vs1 PvP. Regardless, if you are still interested in a PvP melee class, than Tyrant or Gladiator is what you are looking for.
Gladiators have high CP and HP, and deal high damage in melee. Their only weakness is that they are a bit slow-- most ranged classes are able to kite them. Gladiators do have a few ranged moves though.
Tyrants also dual wield, but in a different way-- they use "fist" weapons instead, look very cool. The tyrant's main advantage is their high attack speed and ability to change totems in order to adapt to different situations. Running speed is certainly not an issue-- with windwalk 2 and a rabbit totem activated, they have the highest runspeed in the game, providing them with a better advantage against archers and nukers.
Tyrant is the only Dual Wield you will want to play.. Gladiators are only good in 1v1 Fights which are fought in the arena where it makes no difference.
Out in the field is where it counts and your gonna be ganking or group pvping. Tyrants can do all this, their totems allow them to kill almost every class and evade multiple groups with 1 skill.. with that skill you should never ever die unless your completely surrounded.. in which case you automatically win as your enemy has sent out 2-3 full groups for 1 person.
Tyrant for the win.
Gladiators for the lose.
Anyone that argues otherwise dont know what they are talking about.
