well, i play for 4 years with l2, but only on a multiclass server, dnet, and my opinion is that, if you know you char, you can beat anyone. exp>classes. but if you meet a bugger, you dont have chanche (dnet il, 100% m crit) and with my gl/pp i beat many dinasty(dnet set), wep+++++ user with my ic, wep+4 no rb jews. and l2 changed and gears are getting more important.
