Have not played lineage 2 in a VERY long time. Been craving some real mmo, aparently my l2 account is obsolete or something...But anyways, I am hoping this game is still alive, phoenix looks active on the forums? I do have a question though, what classes are still viable in PVP? I prefer not to be a caster, do not mind bows but prefer melee. Used to love being a destroyer cause I could fight pretty much anyone one on one, any decent armor classes still good at pvping?
i'll elaborate on why i think those would be your best options:
Soul Hound: Fast run speed, great magic defence, able to remove other player's capacity by removing buffs. at ultra levels has incredible paralyze attack.
Doombringer: similar to Destroyer, but a bit less able to deal massive damage in single blows, instead you cover ground VERY fast, can remove target, can stun, and cause IMMENSE incapacitation. at ultra levels is virtually unstoppable with high evasion and great Mdef.
Grand Kebab: elemented properly you cause ranged physical damage that is seldom evaded. properly geared you have no equal. even Tanks will bow to you.
all 3 classes mentioned come with big pricetags however. the gear and skills aone (nevermind subs) will require MASSIVE amounts of time and ebay.
I sure hope it's still fun since I'm picking up L2 again.
No, I hope it's more fun then it used to be if you get my drift.
I'm rolling a TH.
Cheers.
Lots of press about how Daggers are OP....if you don't have supper crit buffs you will be a like a limp ....
Well just not very effective so you will need a bunch of Boxes or a clan that actually exps together.
Soulhound is kind of a hard class to play right. So some really suck :p
As for daggers they're good, along with everything else the above people are saying. Personally if you play in US time zones, or fairly close phoenix should be fine. I can find war tags on my 52 sub quite frequently and whenever I want on my main.
soul breakers are somewhere in the middle...
so they are hard to play if you are used to anything else...
they have some decent self buffs including empower, and might, some defensive dark and offensive dark related buffs...
they require a lot of m.attack, and p.attack... casting speed is extremely useful.
their debuffs land very well, but they don't last long.
imagine similar to trance pre 76.
they're quick.
but they don't exactly dish out the extreme damage of either a nuker class, or a DD class... but they're strong in their own right.
Game is heaps of fun (more than ever really) and still the best mmo out there, always fresh content as usual, and great for people wanting something with more point and long term regardless of casual or hardcore.
