I am Paladin 59lvl, i know that tanks have some xp problems cause of their low dmg, but can i be sure to reach 70lvl in a month???
And another question...for me to wear A grade is it better dc heavy set or nm set? and why ? ty :)
****....so I'd better hurry and get for a sub a necro like 99% of the ppl because i'm an unimaginative tool who needs to compensate the flaws left by the Balance Guy...

I have severe problems with the legitimacy of your question...There's no support for "alternative gamestyles" here.
Whell i was thinking more like a sorc...
I have an idea..listen and tell me.
When i use ud ill be active as a fighter..cause, as you know, with ud i cant move but ill can use remote attacks..and necro sound nice though..oh **** i cant decide. :/
Dear ****...as I struggle through the mid-40's with my DA, your post raises a question for me.
How is it you are a lvl 59 pally and don't know the leveling potential you have with the character and your play style/attention?
Even at my levels of noobishness I can guess REALLY accurately how long I will take to reach benchmarks.
I'm confused by your question I suppose.................
However.. thats assuming
A)u have a 2-box prophet or SE
B)u have a BD friend who is always on at ur time
C)u have no life outside of your computer and you have a renal bag at your side
65-70 can be done in 20 days... see C above
Assuming u have GOOD clan/friend groups that can go for hours on end without restock/rest
u have 8+ hours to play each day
just over 1 month...
and you have unlimited funds for spamming ss and a dwarf sitting next to the party crafting shot, you never seige and carry blessed rezzes for every occassion.
Granted, I'm a casual player (for L2-rabid for most other games) and an alt-aholic, but I estimate another 6 - 12 months before I get there from my current 64 ... heck, going from 65 to 66 will probably take a month. I can solo with my panther and get great xp in DVC but the COST!!! I can't do it consistently unless I ebay ... ergo I can't do it consistently.
I box and the money I get from mobs largely overpay the SS I spam.
Even when if I wasn't crafting them myself. Then you have the drops to find your next gear.
As for the 'no life' comment... keep your pathetic judgments for yourself. Jealous or what ?
what class are you?
dont think there is a tank in lineage that can break even, even if they spam every second shot
I'm a 61 SR,
a 62 WS,
a 61 BH
and they've all been dualboxed thanks to a chilling 63 SE. I almost never have the SE assist my toon. Too boring and not efficient.
When I level a toon (read a pair of toons), at the end of the day, the adena always pay the SS and the drops go to the WH for later use or resell. And I largely break even, even with the ridiculous SS consumption of the bow user (3ss per shot mind you... so 6 shots was 1k adena and few mobs drop 2k+ at 60) and even without the spoils of the BH when it's his turn to level.
SR is still in doom light with maj jewels set and +4 carnage (was a +6 bop guidance till last week)
WS is in +15 BW heavy with +3 aoba health and DC shield.
BH is in Zub Heavy with +7 dual sls.
SE is in BW tunic with DC shield and +5 homu.
Last 3 still have BO sets.
The SE and the SR have their maj set ready for when I'll find helmets are affordable. (not about to happen... fix the ToI quest TY)
What this means is that it's EASY to spam ss AND gear your toons AND level.
U just need to play smarter. Even tanks can play smart. If as a tank you solo 1xHP mobs I'll hardly believe you can't break even since my WS (who can be assimilated to a tank without hate if you look at his dmg output -flame on I can handle it) does it.
i beleave the archer and bh can break even (+7 duels should do the trick)
not sure about the WS though
dont remember ever hunting a mob that made up for my SS spam when i had an aoba
Getting to LvL 70 in a month?
I think NO, I think better play another game cause any other way to reach lvl 70 in a month must be an illegale way for sure.
Took me more than an year to reach LvL 70.... okay I have some other lvl 60 chars, but in one month lvl 70 is impossible doesn't matter if you are 59 now, my opinion.
Doom is best in B grade for Tanks, than go NM. But another question I hope you don't answere is how will you afford getting Top B/A armor in less than a month and reaching that lvl?
You aren't a tank. You haven't played a tank. I don't know what math you use, but I'm guessing you don't take into account the number of times a tank has to hit a mob with SS to kill it. My tank is more expensive to solo than my archer. I run a prophet behind in a 2-box and done comparison costs in real game time. I have top gear on my tank (+3Dama in B, and now a DLE)... it takes a HELL of alot of hits to kill something. Extremely inefficient. Tanks level best in small to medium sized groups that can kill very fast. I get very good xp against green mobs in a trio where the other members are DD's (leave the buffer out of party). And it's cheap xp. But solo? not unless I want to bleed adena. The drops do not make up for the expenditure of SS, C crystals and SS. And trust me ... without that panther, the killing is slow enough to make a pot of coffee. You don't get xp that way, you just burn SS.
I've played every major class group through B grade. The tank is the slowest leveler and the most expensive to solo.
And BTW ... if the life comment fits so be it ... otherwise why would you get so upset about it?
Back to topic about levelling in a month: One way might be duo with nuker (SH or necro preferrably for mana management and lowest downtime) and OOP buffer and recharger maybe. 1-2 shotting mobs with nuker, tank just leeches, tries to fix "oh ****" situations and collect drops. Of course you need to do that dayly-nightly instead of job ...
Anyway all possibilities include some support characters, either boxed or live. Cannot imagine pretty wel tank to solo effectively at that high level without support.
take into account the number of times a tank has to hit a mob with SS to kill it.
I did and I mostly play the WS, no AoE, no big boom, no golem.
At the end of the day, counting the adena spent in SS and the adena the WS and the SE have earned : After > before.
If I compare the SR and the WS. Earnings per day are greater on the WS. On a side note, the SR earned more XP at the same time.

My point exactly. You kill too slowly for efficiency. The higher you go the more unbalanced your ability to attack with strength compared to your peers becomes. After all, a tank sacrifices attack for defense. That doesn't mean a tank isn't dangerous, just that you won't kill efficiently (ie:fast). Fast leveling is all about efficiency. Tanks are not DD's. SK's are probably the best "damage dealers" when it comes to tanks ... but the cost is being slightly squishier. DA's have their cats if they are wealthy. Pally's can pick on undead. TK's ... ouch.
For a fast but boring leveling as suggested ... duo with a nuker that is 15-20 levels higher than you ... drag along an OOP SE. Watch the nuker 1 shot things that are blood red to you, get tons of XP, no play experience, and no group interaction. Try not to fall asleep at the keyboard. I can't handle it myself, since I logon to PLAY, but I have done it a few times to get padding before a seige or overcome any of those nasty "wall of xp hell" levels. Also works to substitute the mage/SE with an archer/Prophet combo, but archers aren't quite as overpowered level for level. If you do this, I recommend being prepared to supply the BspS ... or at least part of it and give up the drops to the one doing the work. That is if you want them to drag your leech-self around in the future.
I've done a version of this with my SH with lower level toons in the cats (Arti's and Scavvy's manoring)... The SH 1-shots blue mobs and get no xp. They get it all. It's very fast and as a benefit makes deadly boring manoring almost survivable. The profit from manoring more than makes up for the expense of BspS.
I am Paladin 59lvl, i know that tanks have some xp problems cause of their low dmg, but can i be sure to reach 70lvl in a month???
And another question...for me to wear A grade is it better dc heavy set or nm set? and why ? ty :)
and a Clan Leader to boot? Us Clan leaders never lvl unless its by accident :) :D
Yeah, former clan leader though :P, i dont have panther for an xtra dmg and im forced to xp at very slow rythm :(..If im lucky and found a good party then its good for me..I cant xp more than an hour per day the other time im just selling some drops :(
with 1 hour per day it will take u AGES to get to 70..
and why u wanna get 70 so fast anyway?
sub is at 75..
with so little playtime it would be faster to reroll a nuker/archer/summoner so u can solo.. since not many groups will take u for just 1 hour anymore.. unless its guild..

Go to Cemetary, Apostate, Devil's Isle or Patriots ... find the undead mobs that con white or green to you. Use those Pally skillz :) ... I have a friend who leveled in Apostate until the mid-60's. He was in a similar situation where no one in the clan was online. If you settle into one place, keep up the occassional shout for a duo/trio/party. After a few days people get to know you and fast pickup groups are more likely. Apostate and Cemetary are best for this on Lionna (don't know about Devianne), Patriots and DI are not as accessible but if you can get a resupply run, DI can be incredible xp. Cemetery has best concentration of undead in the 50's range. Don't worry if they con a mix of green and light blue even ... the goal is to kill as quick as you can.
I agree. Anyone subbing to a FOTM is lame. If you really want to play a necro fine, if you say "OMG!! THEY PWNZOR!! and sub one, you're an idiot.
L2 will be/is raining idiots, then.
Does that mean if we sub a totally.. get owned everytime class we r a genius?
Woot.. sub a BD WE get PWNZORED and im a genius ;) ;)
No. It means that if are playing any class for any other reason than it's what you want to play, you are an idiot. If your goal is to own everyone, go for it.
