Best Char For c5

Hi, Im new here and i would like to know whats the best charracter for c5 in pvp,exping and useful for parties etc could some1 pls help me thnx.

Hi,

Good luck, i think there is going to be some disagrement with that question..

As for me, i have no clue... I believe most classes can beat most if played well

There is no char that is good at everything. Play what you want to play, not what the games forces you to do.

I know there not a good char for everything but in general good in c5 for pvp/exp i was thinking on SH or TH one of these.

Both are good choices.

Again as most have said....

Find the character who's play style you enjoy playing. Play what you feel you would enjoy the most.

It's not all about what character is good or god like.

What games have you came from and what have you played before?

I have been playing l2 but not on oficial server and it was c3/c4 and th /sh are the ones whos play style i enjoy so thats why im asking cose i dunno which of these two choose.

Based just on what your asking, SH is both a fast solo leveling class & the strongest nuker damage dealer. They are also the slowest casting class. (you can use pots to kinda fix that)
It really depends on if you want a mage class or a melee class?
All Nuker Classes are known as the = Overpowered classes, especially Necro's. (even with the nerfs)
Dagger Classes = FOTM (Based on C5 Stats)
Defensive Mage Classes (Healers/Buffers) = Support classes, most commonly wanted in groups.
Other classes like ES/PS have been nerfed pretty hard, but they are still an awesome class. I would go to search tool & research from other threads what people have said so far about C5, and then make your decision. Or you could pick 2 or 3 chars build them up to 15-20 & see which char you enjoy the most! Good luck & have fun :)

In that case, just choose SH for the ranged benefits.

You also can't compare those too! Only because 1 is a nuker the other is a melee class. So maybe leveling both till 15-20 & see which one you like better & go from there? ;)

I will do that ty tiffy ^^

I know you can't. But he wanted an answer so I gave him one.

Problem with lvling them both up to a certain lvl (which is a good idea anyway) is that it is possible that their gameplay changes drastically after that.

I mean, can a TH solo at lower lvls but not at higher? Does he want to group or not? It can boil down to a lot of things.

That's why people say "pick something you like and go for it".

Well he likes my idea so he's going for it. lol
Your advice on which class, was excellent & I didn't mean to be rude if I was & putting your input down. :(
When it comes to comparing two melee classes, yes they are much easier because they have similar styles.
When you level two classes like a Nuker & Melee class you get the feeling of what the class is about & there style.
I.E = Nuker plays in robes/staff/duals/acumen sword usually choice of weapon. Range class that shoots from far.
Melee = Swords, Duals, Polearms, Bows, Heavy/Light armour. In your face class, takes the hits etc..
(except Archers, they are a class of there own) :)

You've never been rude Tiffy. :D

The question is seriously flawed if you're just starting. The "best" character isn't going to be the best until the higher levels. Most don't reach those levels in a single chronicle. The "best" now might be a pita to play in C6.

There's also one other very important question - will you have a second account for a buffer, or someone to party/duo with, or not?

yes i will have a prophet/SE with me almost all the time

Here is something else you want to think about.

Is this the first character that you are pushing up on a brand account, you might want to start the TH first.

I say this because with the event related newbie weapons at NG and D grade you'll want those to be on a melee class.

A nuker can lvl to 20 with virtually no weapon at all, where a melee character is much more difficult to do so with.

Also with the HP rest bonus they've put into place a melee class can finally level solo as fast from 1-35/36 as a nuker!

( after that the nuker starts to pull away again =/ )

But it's something you might want to consider if you're SH isn't past lvl 6 yet.

yes i will have a prophet/SE with me almost all the time

Now this is getting interesting! You can basically play any class with a Prophet or SE boxed (live ones are better)
I use my main Prophet with my archer & my SH with my SE (regeneration/buffs/etc..) :p
Like I said Nukers/Archers = Overpowered
Melee Classes = Can't always take the hits from range.
C5 = Balanced the classes out a bit more.
(except ES/PS)
Some Melee classes have root/ backstab
Nukers Sleep got nerfed (now they can't sleep,nuke,sleep)
You will see a change in both PVPE/PVE for both Melee & Nukers.

In C5:

-Dagger classes are so amazingly powerful in both PvE and PvP. Daggers face a bit of a lag spot from 52 to 60 as their available armors/weapons are not as good as C and A grade. 61+ Means infinite solo, high damage class with perma VR (Provided you have the money for a Nightmare set)

-Archer (pick one) The archer is NOT a powerhouse unbuffed, but once buffed is nearly matchless in PvP. Only the orc mystic's sleeplock has even a prayer of stopping you.
Buffed-archer groups are the absolute best XP groups in the game. They roam around killing EVERYTHING in sight. Your biggest problem in such a group is finding a place that has fast enough spawns. Remember, you are a god fully buffed, but without those buffs you are not as powerful as a dagger.
In sieges, you are death incarnate. No other class will have anywhere near your numbers of kills.

-Warcrier - ever want to have most of the positives of nearly every class and be able to completely make any class pointless in PvP?
You won't be the best at anything, but you just plain rock at everything. Never being unbuffed and perma VR, Focus, and DW are huge bonuses... oh and you hit harder than most other mystics due to Soulcry.
Warcriers and Ovelords keep sleeplock this chronicle. Sleep/nuke any 1v1 to death.
Wanted in groups for their buffs alone... they also dish, are quite durable, and add group heals over time.
Warcriers are not as useful in sieges as their overlord cousins, but a determined Warcrier is a pain the backside to kill.

Paladin - Yes, I said it... the paladin has been amazingly buffed into almost over-powered status. You will still (strangely) lose to archers... but every other class must respect you if your cooldowns are up. PvE you solo almost infinitely due to heals and heavy armor combined with your reasonable damage output. Dying (in PvE) is nigh impossible with AoE root and fastcast melee root combined with heals. Wanted in groups as this chronicle's very best tank period.
Wanted in sieges for AoE root alone, but a sacrifice spamming paladin who has his finger on the Angelic Icon button is a force to be reckoned with.

-SH - still the fastest "solo" XP with a manabot SE following you... Mages are much diminished as their group role is almost completely gone. SH is the best of the nukers with B2M and the extremely efficient Curse Death Link and Death Spike. Despite the SH's benefits, archers and daggers are better longterm damage dealers and your burst damage is only marginally better. SH still do have silence for a group in a heavy caster area, but offer little other reason to bring a SH instead of a dagger or an archer.
PvP isn't quite as bad as grouping, but SH should lose 50% or more to most classes (even skill/even equipment) except low-Mdef classes. Archers kill you in two shots... Daggers as well (provided they get to you)
The class is pretty much solo only. There is no intelligent reason to bring a SH unless you like the player.
Sieges you will get a few kills from range and then insta-die to archers.
SH top damage spell will do generally 600ish damage to a Mdef class and 750-ish to a low Mdef class against a fully buffed target... archers will do 6-7k+ 50% of the time to a robe target .... 1200 to a fully buffed 76 Paladin through his shieldblock.
I would not recommend nuker to anyone unless you are only going to solo due to their complete nerfbat beatdown.

Ideally I have to agree with the 'play what you like' philosophy. I'm playing a class that is not ub3r l337 for siege or exp, I picked what I wanted. BUT how many -hours- of game time does it take to get to siege level? If people are building specifically for end game then 'play what you like' could be bad news for them. My point is if they were just going to pick something that looked kewl they wouldn't need to ask here about it, thanks to those people who try and provide later game perspective.

Treasure Hunter (It is a dagger class) and probally the most FoTM for c5.

If i already have a char and i create new one this new one wont get free buffs from the newbie helper and i wont be able to get those new d grade armors rite or this armor can be get by all chars and not only from the first? is this all or i wont be able to get something else?

The new D Grade armours are for members of an academy - that's an institution within a clan. That means they are in theory available to all. :D
