So.. I hate l2. It never goes away. Been on and off since beta. Anyhow. Now im back and wow.. big changes. To the topic tho. I loved the old ET so I im thinking about rolling one. But I hear alot of stuff about the cubics.
Anyone wanna help me and explain if ET is a viable class and that the cubic works? If not im thinking about HK but im really not sure.. THanks for any input :)
Why wouldn't the cubics work? The current ET has nothing to do with the old ET anyway. The Healing/MP cubics are kinda shi77y until you hit 99, to be honest. I mean the recharged HP/MP almost doubles (600 instead of 400 HP and 80 instead of 40 MP) once you hit 99 compared to the 95 version. The recharges are static, so they are unnafected by Prayer/Epics like the old Life Cubic.
In terms of durability .... I think that HK with his stacked 2nd classreflect (+augments/talisman) still wins in oly (can't beat over 50% reflect).
What made ET what it was before GoD was the awesome healing skills, speed, shield aegis and its defense. That changed and now all tank classes are the same, except base stats and 2-3 skills.
I play and played an ET.
About ST cubics... I can't tell you that much.... the Hex one overwrites Armor destruction which is useless in mass pvp/instances. Their paralyze skill is pretty good... But again, what to expect from a ST... before it was:
- run until pain of shilen reaches lvl 3... use spirit of shilen... attack for 30s... then run the whole match
Now it's:
- run, use paralyze, hide behind pillars, run, use paralyze, hide behind pillars run use paralyze... for 5 minutes. At least that's how they do it on the Shilen server.
What can I say, try waiting for more opinions on the matter. The "real game" is at 99 anyway.
P.S.: ET will get buffed up in the next update with another cubic and some nice skills. I wouldn't miss that if I were you :P
Essentialy an ET can keep toggle for defense/shield defense(very important toogle) 24/7 with full MP, while others classes mp tick away down which can be good for longer Oly matches.
Ok, Since you seem to know the drill. What tank class is the funniest to play/lvl? Im pretty set on ET but I know it aint that fun to lvl at start. So if any1 tell me that some else class is much more fun. I dont know :P
ST is best for ganging enemies :D even my 90 ST(dual) is better in that than 96 tyrr main, because of the paralyze skill which prevents from using BSOE :D
with just frintezza necklace the land rate is ~80% or so - on much higher lvl characters
10s reuse is just LOL

But is it good to put everything in +INT and use the skill with bssR ?
You should experience a major boost in magic damage.
Since base is 42 + another approx. 38 = 82 INT !!!
Lightning Strike
Strikes the enemy with a lightning bolt that inflicts non-attribute damage with 22,848 Power added to M. Atk., and immediately paralyzes for 5 seconds.
Mass Lightning Strike
Strikes the target and nearby enemies with a lightning bolt that inflicts non-attribute damage and immediately paralyzes for 5 seconds. 15,993 Power.
Lightning Root
With lightning, inflicts non-attribute damage on the target with 15,574 Power added to M. Atk. Instantly becomes paralyzed for 5 seconds. Requires a shield.
So it's a nuke but you have crappy INT. So go full +INT and kill everyone !
