only noobs saying MA sucks.. MA gives big matk for casters, save a lot of mp because of extra damage, also makes the debuffs land a lot more easy than DC robe... DC robe has more c.speed, but a lot less pdef, a lot less matk, no stun resistance..for a mage stun = death a party with casters using MA, and rechargers and heallers in Majestic can survive a lot more than a stupid party in DC robe and Tallum simply because they will have a lot more MP for the fights...the DC party gets owned once the mp ends, the bishop will take stun easy, and once mp ends theyre doomed and the game is not only 1x1 caster vs caster..its a group game, you must fight melee classes too, which are majority in L2 now 1X1 DC mage can win MA mage if he is lucky to not get any debuff but in a group fight DC robe makes the whole party a lot vulnerable

binding cubic (anchor) has 20% land rate and lasts only 10 seconds...theres a lot of things that prevents it to land, such as boss jewels, dc armor and mental shield, resist dark buffs etc doesnt worth...unless ure going to kill ppl unbuffed with C grade jewerly

because were talking about things that happens in private servers and gameplay is unbalanced in favor to archers i guess at this point, nobody has more time to play retail in such low rates..takes forever to reach endgame

dont remove too much DEX, will make Trickster slow...slow to attack, slow to run and less critical rate -4 DEX is ok

Major Arcana Robe is great it has great pdef , big matk and stun resistance, also gives more mp its great to farm, great to pvp fully buffed with your group...if you can resist stun theres no reason to use DC robe in big pvp fights and i would say Majestic is better for healler class than DC because mp regen and stun resistance c.speed is good but not everything..you can have a dc robe set for small fights or olympiad, but in big fights, Major Arcana shows its superiority

thats sad, but normal... seems more like many lines of buffs kills the gameplay if youre mage i recommend these things: -use buffer class with nuke augment: they have light armor mastery and already bigger c.speed than wizards..summoners are a good choice too -if mage, use a spellhowler and add empower augment to your weapon to leech more hp in dark vortex and vampiric claw -if mystic muse, best thing is get augment for less reuse time on spells and spam aura flare best augment attack: aura flare, because theres no buffs to resist it, since aura flare has no element, its set as dearrangement...so buffs wont affect its damage - always buff for doomcryer chant of protection and the swordsinger song that resist arrow

Farm guide: Party: Elemental summoner x 2 Bishop Maestro Shillien Elder Hunting Zones: Skyshadow Meadow, Ancient Battleground, Silent Valley, Primeval Plains Strategy: the Maestro will need a polearm and summon Big Boom, and toggle it to stand in a point along with the rest of the group elemental summoners will place their summons close to Big Boom...one elemental summoner will summon seraphim every 3 minutes to buff the party with gift , acumen and clarity..and that means buff big boom too shillien elder will buff all for empower + wild magic and vampiric for Unicorn Merrow , Big Boom and vampiric for the Dwarf..the SE will work as mana recharger for Bishop and as a backup healler the dwarf will train groups of mobs, as many as he can and get back in 2 minutes, b4 seraphim buffs run out...if the HP goes under the half, its time to get back and bring mobs to the point where big boom awaits the cardinal will heal the Dwarf, but at this point, only with alance life and group healling, so he wont take the aggro of mobs to himself..the SE wont do anything now to not take aggro on him/her wait the mobs get together around Big Boom, and detonate it the summons will start hitting mobs with hydro screw now...if the summons take the aggro, summoners can use summon ultimate defense....a few magic attacks and all mobs will die...a few will survive so kill them with summon melee attacks..so the dwarf can run and bring more mobs meanwhile this method gives fast xp, sp, lots of adena, materials and sometimes, full drops..these places always give good stuff and best thing: you dont need useless buffers, all will be working

I USED on my trickster in a custom server: +4 str - 4 dex +4 int -4 wit and thats all my equipment was valakas, baium, queen ant, dinasty light set for dagger instead of archer, shyeed bow +30 quick recovery the quick recovery SA reduces reuse delay by 17%, and in a crossbow the shyeed bow is slow, not very slow i had augment PVP might in it INT helps you to imbue dark seed and anchor enemies...its pretty good if u can make a lot of seeds and spam imbue dark seed on enemy bishops and run with hard march with this setup you have lower DEX but very high patk on criticals...with sharpshooting you can get very close to 500 critical cap...so use it when u need attack..u can cancel it to move and run if needed...also the skill that teleports into battlefront is kinda bugged so u can use it on ur favor while running to escape from enemies... and that includes exploit the terrain and climb huge inacessible walls or get inside walls and kill ppl without they can see you lol to kill a Spellhowler in that setup takes around 6-7 hits and they will hit you around 150 damage if you use all ur mdef skills (prahnah and the other 10sec buff)

Whats the most crazy setup character you ever tried in a custom private server? i made a Fortune Seeker with Arcana mace +25, DC robe set, 5 wit - 5 int and shadow flare augment to hunt holy mobs who are weak to dark ,to spoil these mobs and get special custom medals..ofc buffed as a mage, with baium and valakas too for my surprise, fully buffed i could beat many ppl equally buffed (fighters) in pvps...just attacking as a Dwarf Fortune Seeker mage lol whats ur most crazy character setup in L2?

best is get friends that actually play active buffers... or get some friends to sub buffers , if everyone in the group get a buffer as a sub, everyone will be always fully buffed with the exception of SWS and BD because their songs and dances lasts only 3 minutes

For servers with lots of adenas: the maximum you can bid is 2.147.483.647 adenas but you need to put on your warehouse 2.147.483.617, because theres a fee tax of 30 adenas to deposit... after put that ammount, sell something to any NPC and add more 30 adenas to your clan warehouse to have the maximum adena limit after that go bid for 2.147.483.647...if the auctioneer acept your bid, the clan hall will be yours, because no one else can bid for it , since you did for the maximum

OMG so many stupid things in one post...as i said, 90% of ppl here are spammers who dont know what they talk about Spectral has death spike and the summon to attack, also awesome cubics just the fact of being a summoner more death spike makes Spectral Master a better olympiad class than Warlock ELEMENTAL > SPECTRAL >>>>>> WARLOCK warlock cant even beat some classes because binding cubic is so fucking useless!! never lands and 10 seconds only rofl

if you play in a server with 3 lines of buffs and 500 critical, theres no reason to use focus chance in normal servers focus chance is better

90% of ppl here knows bullshit about summoners the rest 9% dont know what they talk about and 1 % are true summoners that said ES is the best choice and one of most powerful classes in the game

i always make a bar for pvp and other for PVE if im on PVE i put next target icon on F1 to make easier select mobs for my unicorn aoe, so i can make Merrow attack easier with F2, and F3 servitor heal and F4 hydro screw if im on PVP i change everything, macro for player name if i know whos coming to attack me, or if i dont know i put a macro to target myself so i can spam battle heal and keep target on me while summon is attacking..this is pretty useful against backstabs...when i get a chance i debuff them with wind shackle and warrior bane if im a mage i put surrender to ..on F1, vortex on F2, and the main attack on F3...with the crusher skills i put vortex crusher on F3 and the skill on F4 so i can do everything in the right order for more damage if im a fighter i put attack on F1 and some debuff skill like stun on F2

since C5 Lineage 2 is ruined...C5 sucks so much it affected the gameplay for all of the next chronicles i would choose C4 as the best chronicle the rest is crap

are you blind? binding cubic has a minimal chance to land and the effect lasts only 10 seconds....good luck trying to beat classes that have paralisys resist like Gladiator and Destroyer at olympiad...even mental shield weapon buff makes a lot hard for binding cubic to land.. Binding cubic is all about luck, Aqua Cubic is a 100% sure damage over time of 2000 hp skill No way warlock can be superior to elemental summoner or phantom summoner, im summoner since C2 and i know what im talking about

Im pro summoner and i tried all for a long time, id say Elemental Summoner is the best of all three ES has the best base stats (aka light elf race)...for a summoner all that matter is c.speed...huge mdef too (big MEN) and the only with the ability to keep a huge c.speed in light armor like blue wolf...the others suffer without robe also Magnus has stun for olympiad, which helps a lot kill most of robe users Merrow has aoe water spell for group mobs and fast lvling/xp/adena Boxer has mp recharge, to help PVE Seraphim has really good buffs for party, now a ES can replace evas saint in some small parties Elemental Summoner has the best cubic, aqua cubic deals huge damage over time at big landing rate, life cubic helps a lot keep hp high on fights... -ind shackle matches perfectly with warrior bane and the summon ability to deal magic damage against fighters : theres no fighters that can beat a ES Now Warlock weak points compared to ES: -Arcane disruption is almost useless... -Slower c.speed -bad using light armor -wind cubic is useless -binding cubic has a very low landing rate and oly 10 seconds effect -summons doesnt have ability to AOE mobs -cat queen has only one buff exclusive, parties will still need a prophet/OL/WC -team with fighters...kinda out of the group -slower pve compared to ES -feline king has stupid useless skills Warlock having mage bane and warrior bane is a pro...but Elemental summoner kill mages with ONE hand, doesnt even need mage bane for it (magnus stun FTW) Id rank: 1st: ES 2nd: PS (thanks to death spike...also better PVE ability and money maker) 3rd: Warlock (not many exclusive abilities to put it above the others....)

Orfen is very nice :)

arbalester is a pretty good long range DD and also a good assistant can kill in a few hits and also paralyse ppl, buff for a huge mdef boost and many other things... traps could be better tough...

a noob thread made by a noob trying to earn posts faster... lets face it...doomcryer sucks for OLY and its one of most lame and boring classes to play out in the mass pvps...runs out of mana, sit and wait forever, go afk, on mass pvp only dream spirit and fear cuz they dont have mp for anything else... - drains costs a lot...177 mp omg - buffs also eats MP...OMG - they dont have soul guard as OL...OMG - they dont have ANY debuffs (just FEAR)...OMG - they dont have wind walk, empower and berserker...LOL - they are party bitch buffers made by lazy ppl... - they cant lvl alone ROFL - they have accuracy penalty using daggers, bows and spear LOL Pick an Overlord and buff ur clan for victories of paagrio...DC is super useless!

pick magnus, because since Kamael HB theres a cap limit to critical magic..they set it to max 25%...so... magnus + wild magic + valakas+ siren you do the max critical magic of 1/4 and you keep a better matk and move speed, since magnus increase moving speed

thread for spammers, ADMS cant see this? i got -2 karma for say much longer phrases and this stupid thread is still alive for ppl spam emoticons OMG!!!

OL buffs: might, shield, berserker, ww, focus, death whisper, haste, magic barrier, Victories, flames of invincibility (20 seconds) Bishop: body of avatar Bladedancer: dance of concentration, warrior, fury, fire SwordSinger: song of warding, renewal, vitality, hunter, elemental Warlock: cat gift Arbalester: prahnah (just give this when flames worn off) noblesse blessing For the critical party i posted, 22 buffs with noblesse... you can change this depending on enemy...but its against mage party you only miss the song and dance based on the element of ur enemy...but pranah is way more efficient and uses only one slot, so is song of elemental protection and with arbalester you have a decent damage dealer

i got banned :( maybe server was just patched...anyways
