i was wondering if it would be too greedy of me to keep my toggles such as arcane power, soul cry, soul shield in order to be more powerful? i tested with the toggles on with harmony, sonatas and melodies and my stats were pretty sweet. i realize i would probably solo a lot since most groups wouldnt want me but its true it would make me more powerful than other iss enchanters in pvp correct? and also i was wondering about the olympiad. is it all self reliant such as buffs in which case for me it wouldnt be advised to keep my toggles correct? just playing with some things and deciding what to do. thanks for any help!
im talking about when you awaken and have to trade out skills. or do you not have a choice in this? i was thinking to keep my steal essence skill as well. can anyone help a noob dominator out?
Most Othels and Tanks ask for knights harmony... Not that it is necessary for them but they just prefer it. A decently geared tank with a good overall party will do fine in pve without it and you can always box another iss out of party for knights harmony. I ended up giving in on my iss and learned knights harmony. I was much stronger with soul guard in OLY. In my opinion just learn all your skills. You will have to level with other people and some of them will rage if you do not have knights harmony also I believe all those skills will be deleted in Glory Days later this month.
All of your other dominator skills are useless for an iss especially steal essence.
I don't suggest to keep toogle.
In your post you say you're gonna do a lot of solo PvE, it's very very very long to do it. Almost impossible in 90+.
You'll always need party, or you'll take month for each level, and i don't talk about money ( you can easily win money in Istina/Fortuna, but you need a party).
When i awake i didn't check but maybe the only skills that can help is to keep old CP regen skills if you can ( so if you can heave your Healing Melody and old CPregen skills).
But in other hand, you'll not regen a lot in the future since heal can regen CP quicker and better than you.
I believe all those skills will be deleted in Glory Days later this month.
That's what happened in Korea. But NCTaiwan found out that their version of Glory Days was a bit different in regards to this matter.
Now, that could be a bugged patch, but anyway, let's just wait for NCWest patch notes to settle the matter once and for all.
By the way, I wouldn't recommend you to keep your toggles. Mainly because you'll spend most of your life in-game with parties (since there are only 2 proper solo zones after 85), and in pvp Knight's Harmony can save *****.

The skills that you learn as an ISS delete some of your older skills. This means that you need to skip some new skills in order to keep older ones. Try saying to a party "I don't have prevaling sonata because I wanted to keep my soul cry" and see how fast they kick you out.

That's why I used the word "believe". I have been frequenting the forum we can no longer mention since it's inception.. We do not know exactly which version we will get for certain like you said.
for orc iss enchanter. our job is to debuff, for this, +wit is the best dye to use for m.accuracy to increase chance of landing a magical attack (debuffs). is this correct? i need confirmation!!! i was confused reading an iss enchanter thread. someone said str has chance to decrease skill reuse time/double duration but here it does not say. http://www.lineage2.com/en/game/patch-notes/goddess-of-destruction/character-changes/
if this is true then a combination of +wit and +str would be best. with wit you need to go -men or -int. -men decrease mdef so more debuffs will land on you and -int will decrease matk so my debuffs less likely to land. is my thinking correct or can someone clarify!
grular claims +str has chance to decrease skill reuse or double its duration. idk if im mistaking it to mean all skills or since the bonus for +str is p.critical this only applies to physical skills and not magical debuffs?
@KingBuff, sofar till date NCWest has received the same patch updates as NCTaiwan so meh.. the only exception was the messy update when they first changed the summoners.. that was a first though..
btw folks the Korean PTS notes are up so give it a few days and we'll know how the new improved SwM/SD/DC/Domi/Hiero's will be (Judi is still under development) ;)
im trying things out with dyes on my own since nobody seems to know.
i have a new question now though. i know that orcs and dark elves and elfs all get the same skills when awakened from their sword muse, spectral dancer, dominator class. as for the sonatas, does it only buff party members? coming from an orc dominator will my sonatas affect my ally members? do any of my melodies or blessings/mental protection buffs affect my ally when cast? or is it only party?
All will be ISS as you said.
Iss's can only buff party members.
About your +STR for skill reuse. It never shortens the reuse. You have a chance of 2x Duration or instant reuse.
WIT is affecting debuff land rate. Juji tested that in the Lab Section.
And ye, you only can incr. one and sacrifice a other stat. Unless you have ~ 700kk - 1,5b for the Giant/Legendary Dyes Lv5.
Oh well, there's this Lindvior update, currently under PTS, where Iss Dominators apparently can buff their whole clan/ally, except for Sonatas. But it's still too far ahead and unreliable to take this information into account while deciding what Iss class is worth raising.
Don't forget mention that even now iss with 4 lvl buffs (learned at 99 lvl) buffs nearby party and clan members :)
Ofc that only aplies to melodies (harp, horn, pipe, drum,etc)
Am I totally screwed now that I chose to go ISS dominator, realised that I can only buff clannies :(
I'd change classes with Chaos Essence. Dominator is not playable unless you're in a very active clan that can support it with groups, and that also means people within level range for you to group with because of the 6-level penalty they went to a couple of updates ago.
Basically no one higher than 91 for a level 86 character (85 takes only a couple days solo so I'm ignoring that level).
i really dislike knight harmony.
i never use it and ignore people who ask for it.
it's even worse now that they changed the enchant options.
soul cry is not so important because it is replaced by one of the sonatas...
you could keep it if you have a secondary buffer for parties.
but it eats mp so you need to have a mp source other than a healer.
i personally kept steal essence because it's nice to have that ranged attack with practically zero reuse.
