Hello all, i'm a new player to Lineage2, with bit of mmo background. So far i've had fun with the game, but after volleying between some races and profs i've found human fighter most fun. And now with the nearing 1st class change coming, i got few questions about the options.
I'm mainly pondering between warrior->glad and rogue->hawkeye lines. So what are the pros and cons of these 2 lines, in both pve and pvp. I've read that glads are popular atm, and ofc the dual wielding is temptating for new player :p But then also hawkeye's and bows sounds like fun, and i've heard they can do some nice dmg later on. And since im a new player to L2, i dont have adena for top grade equipments and items straight away. Ive read alot of good threads about both lines on these forums, but still bit confused.
So basically in a nutshell, which line would be more fun in both pve and pvp, yet relatively good choice for a newb like myself. Thank You's :)
Well if you have adena buy a bow and try playing with it. On the other hand L20 is a piece of cake and 1 day job if you already have best no grade weapon and armor.
My suggestion just pick one and use shadow weapon to see what play style you prefer. If you don't like it you can simply reroll. If you already bought a d grade weapon you can exchange it for any weapon (of same value) with Blacksmith of Mammon. In other words you can exchange a sword for bow or dagger or...
Gladys are mostly close range fighters, since they dont have shield the take quite a damage and sometimes they are forced to lower their CON to increase their STR for more damage output witch means more stuns...
Archer classes on the other hand are faster at leveling but more expenssive until B grade due to increased consumption of soulshots... They get a lot more stuns but rarely the mob will be so near :p )
To buy top C Bow (Eminence) you need about 14-15m adena, for top C duals, oh they have fallen down to even 11m (dual Katanas) But on B things start to revert, Bows go closer to the Duals (Dual SLS 28m while Peril goes for 30-35m) but on A grade the situation changes a lot... Carnage bow for 30m, Soulbow for 60m while to get a decent dual you have to pay more than 100m (talking about Dual Dama or Dama*Tallum)
Hope I helped :)
Edit: Keep in mind also that to add an SA on a buy you just add a crystal and some gemstones while to add an SA on duals you have to overenchant them at +4 (not safe...)
