Heya guys,

 

I'm basicly maining 2 classes in lineage2. First class being dominator (since 3 years ago) but my all-time main has been Dwarf [Maestro to be exact]. I had to switch main bcs after interlude dwarf wasn't that strong anymore... only in oly. Now since the high5 update dwarfs are crawling back into the top! (YES!)

 

Some of you might think... dwarf and pvp?.. Can't blame you, but on highrates certainly its possible :p

The basic idea is using a dwarf as a mix between a tank, warlord and DD.

 

Dwarf in a pvp party wont always work.. but i'm playing in the same clan for 3 years, so it works for the most part :)

Before starting the guide, notice that i use dwarf as "support" class.. he isn't the best in 1v1 situations due to the lack of burst damage.

 



Since it's about highrate servers i'm not going to talk about leveling spots/armor on early levels etc...

 

What will a dwarf bring to the party?

> Stuns; Suprised ah? .. well Dwarfs have 4 skills to stun you :p and they are close to spammable.

  - skill0100_0.png Stun Attack; Basicly your main skill. You want to spam this on your target till he is stunned.

  - skill0260_0.png Hammer crush; Basicly your main skill. You want to spam this on your target till he is stunned.

  - skill0362_0.png Armor Crush: This is your strongest skill. It stuns and decreases your opponements p and mdef by a lot!

  - skill0793.png    Rush Impact: Use it to engage, or switch targets and stun em

> Cancel targets

  - skill0347_0.png Earthquake; Cancels the targets from your opponements around you. Use this when ur bp is in trouble.

> Damage

  - skill0190_0.png Fatal Strike: Deals a decent amount of damage. We'll come back later on this.

> Tankish

  - skill0211_0.png Health!: Yes, dwarfs have a lot of hp. Neither are their defences to bad.

> Buffs

  - skill0828.pngskill0830.pngskill0829.png Im going to come back on this one :)

 


 

In what parties will dwarf work?

 

In high5 it works with a lot actually, since most classes got rush. Basicly what you need is single target burst damage.

The moment you stun somebody, he should be dead > Nothing else.

 

Dwarf don't really work in heavy mage parties.. it's possible but not logical to do :p

Archer or dagger parties will be great with dwarf.

> In archer party you might not even need a bishop. Not even for yourself (will come back on this)

 


 

Items, buffs and all the other crap

 

So.. we're playing dwarf as tank, not a wannabe tank so we go with Vorpal Armor.

 

As for weapons, we'll need atleast 3.

- weapon_expowder_mace_i01.png Eversor Mace [Health] + Evilgate_Shield_i01.png

- weapon_pereztear_hammer_i00.png Contristo Hammer [Health]

- weapon_ghostcleaner_i01.png Demitelum [Health]

 

Raid yewels:

- accessory_necklace_of_frintessa_i00.png Necklace of Frintrezza

- accessory_ring_of_queen_ant_i00.png Ant Queen

- accessory_ring_of_baium_i00.png Baium

- accessory_earring_of_antaras_i00.png Antharas

- accessory_earring_of_zaken_i00.png Zaken

> If there are a lot of mages on the server exchange Ant queen accessory_ring_of_queen_ant_i00.png for Beleth accessary_dynasty_ring_i00.png

 

Dyes:

> Party pvp:

- Con +3 Str -3

- Con +2 Str -2

- Wit +4 Int -4

 

> Solo pvp/oly

- Str +4 Con -4

- Dex +4 Con -4

- Wit +4 Int -4

 

Buffs:

Depends a bit on your server, how many you can take etc. Your goal is to go full tank, also in solo pvp. Dwarf dont have huge patk but they have good defence, so for example greater shield will be more usefull on you then greater might.

You can take 1 berserker, but never ever never take 2 xD.

 

Certifications:

You got 2 options here:

- Pure tank:

> Enchanter ability - Counter Barrier

> Knight ability - Counter Defense

> Knight ability - Crit.Dmg reduction

 

- Wanna do some dmg myself-build

> Enchanter ability - Counter Barrier

> Knight ability - Counter Defense

> Warrior ability - Chance Haste

 



 

Now we are all gearred up and we can go to the pvp zone, Finally!

 

There are 2 ways to play dwarf, first being the (boring) way to play it super defensive as a tank eating damage. But the way i like to play it is aggressive as main assist for your party.

I have to admit, i switch between these 2 playstyles a lot. Even within the same pvp.

 

I'll first explain how defensive will work.

Basicly all you do if stay near your bishop. If he dies.. your party is fucked. You mainly use your pole to keep daggers away from him and sometimes try to stun em.

It might be usefull to your party, but it's super boring to keep playing like this :)

 

 

How to play as aggressive dwarf?

It might need a bit of thinking, but you'll get it :)

You must keep your focus on bishops, your party will be assisting you <. The moment you got your target stunned, switch to your 2H blunt and use your Fatal Strike.When the bishop tries to run away from you, just keep rushing after him, he wont escape. The moment he gets stunned he should be dead. If they have 2 bishops you'll need 2 main assists (MA) . One MA will be hitting alone on the second bishop, just to force him to heal himself, this will slow him down to cleanse the other bishop. The moment you kill the first bishop you take the target from your 2nd MA and blow the 2nd bp up.

If the bishop tries to res the other use your earthquake to interupt the cast > it wont always work, but when it works he'll be dead too :)

 

This is basicly how you play as dwarf, spamming ur stuns on targets. If you yourself dont have a bishop it will be a bit harder but more fun xD

Your skill skill0484.png Rush will be really important here. You can use rush on your own party members to get out of the fight. If you use this skill smart you wont ever die.. Just use it on random ppl around the pvp zone to move around in lightning speed. (can even use it on bots > usefull all those farm bots ah)

Besides that, maestro has a selfheal called Battle Cry skill1561.png. The skill will heal for 35% and has a ~2min cooldown (saying this out of my head, not sure).

When rushing onto somebody your first goal will be to "overbuff" him. It may be really lame.. but it will increase your damage, and decrease theirs :) [This is why we got +4wit]. Most highrates got the dwarf buffs on the npc buffer, so you just overbuff it with another. For example you buff Case harden on bishop (Decreases their pdef by 5%!). If you cast embroider on a tank he will lose the +10% pdef from case harden. Same for using the weapon buffs, just give them another buff then the weapon or armor they use.

 

 

When you are bored in the pvp zone, and your clan doesnt have a party.. just go annoy other parties :)

You rush into them, stun their bps and rush out. Their DD's will come after you but can't catch you anyway xD. If they use hold or manage to stun you, mind to use Parry stance skill0339_0.png and Rispote stance skill0340_0.png. You can also use them while rushing away, it will slow you down but doesnt effect the range/speed of your rush skill.

 



 

Olympiad

 

This is where luck comes in. Dwarf (should.. its l2j mostly xD) haves one of the best stun rates in lineage, also one of the best resists against stun > Use this.

 

General:

Make sure you summon your Golem skill0025_0.png outside oly, buff him with Armor golem skill0824.png and Strengthen Golem skill0823.png. It wont hurt to heal him sometimes in oly with Repair Golem skill0822.png. Dont forget your Battle Cry skill1561.png and Braveheart skill0440_0.png. try using these early in the fight, they may come off reuse later during the fight. Start every fight with using Final Secret skill0917.png.

 

Try to let a friend check your opponement, you just need to know if its a fighter or mage.

Against a fighter take Might, Haste, Berseker, WindWalk and Guidance (against daggers/archers) or Death Whisper

Against mages don't take berserker

 

Match ups:

 

Maestro VS Archer

He will run around.. a lot.. and you'll hate him for that.. but the moment you grab him with your stun, you switch to your 2H blunt and skill him to death using Fatal Strike and try to time a Armor crush at the end. You should have enough defences and health to keep chasing him and just killing him by stunning.

You should win this match up easily.

 

Maestro VS Dagger

Try to get near him, the moment he tries to hide (most do it at the beginning of the match) use your pole with earthqauke to find him. Switch back to your 1h blunt+shield and try to stun him asap. Once hes stunned you switch to 2h blunt and skill him to death. Your accuracy is horrible, and his evasion is epic.. so just keep skilling xD

This match up is harder then archer, but you should win this. If he doesnt land his bluff and doesnt get to much backstabs off, you'll win for sure.

 

Maestro VS Mage

In high5.. almost certainly forget it. The only chance you have is a double stun! Use your 2h blunt from the beginning against mages.

Most mages will use enlightment at the start of the battle, if you don't stun him within your first 2 skills.. you're dead. Simple as that.

If you manage to stun him, just try nuking him into the ground as fast as possible.

It's a verry hard match up, certainly bcs your mdef is really low.

> might be usefull to use blessed freya neckle against dominator, bishops or EE/SE

 

Maestro VS Tank

You can win... but don't hope to much xD

For this to work you'll have to land a lot of stun.. on a tank. Against Shillen knight you can almost certianly forget it, once he gets SoS it's over. Maybe the easiest tank to play against are the human tanks.. but facing a good PK will ruin your day tho

It's a cruel match up for little dwarfs.. but works out from time to time

 

Some people of you might be wondering.. is it usefull to use Golem Armor skill0778.png in oly?

Answer is.. yes and no. You will have more damage, but you will only have 1 stun skill and another AoE skill. I mainly use this only against mages.. Stun skill lands good and the increased dmg allows me to crush them faster.

 



 

This was my Maestro guide, hope you enjoyed it and maybe we'll see some more dwarfs in pvp on highrates :)

against dagger: stun, stun if it isn't land RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! style. btw nice guide. (: uhm and if we would go deeper in oly, there is a "trick" for buffing. for fighter classes (so it include Maestro either) i allways put focus, mshield and bbody with b-a grade weapons, by using soul bottle(no mana loss, and fast as fvck). after that bspirit, dwisper, might, concentration(if enemy has ability to ruin ur stun cast[u can check the enemy with pressin' watchin' match button at 1 sec countdown, so u don't need a friend to check. lol. : D ]) windwalk, guidance. after this follow  Michaeltje's guide.

Indeed, know about the weaps but didnt mention them here (Guess everybody knows about em anyway)

Didn't know about the soul bottles tho, neither do i play oly a lot xD

 

About playing against daggers.. Don't run.. if you run they hit you in the back (dwarf is slower then dagger)

Just face it like a man! die like a man!

You'll win prob. against 90% of the daggers

mainly TH is a pain since he can stop ur skills (stuns)

 

Against others.. you wont have any probs at all

Certainly against dumb elfs who try to heal (= 100% stun for you, since u can cast atleast 3-5skills during their cast time)

Loads of logical remarks

 

Fairly concise.

 

But why go with Con dyes in Party and STR/dex in solo? In Parties you have healers, and you are the last target to get attacked. So HP is less useful than having more skill crit chance (armor crush crits+fatalstrike is heavy damage) and some attack speed and speed (despite 2 rushes, l2j has weird path finding and there can be lag when recovering from animations).

In solo PvP on the other hand, you want to survive longer...

Nevertheless I always go +str on any character that has skills that can crit.

Maybe you could change the dyes in pt from +5con to +4con +4dex

Simply bcs... Str isn't a huge factor for dwarfs.. it increases ur dmg a bit, but if u want to play dd u don't pick dwarf :)

Dex is usefull tho.. can live with that

 

 

Don't really know how to say it about the full con :p

I actually always played on full con, except for oly. I've played against a lot of archer parties, so the stun resist from +con is nice xD

I guess you just have to adapt a bit to your server :)

If the +con can save a few stuns on you, take it.. if there are no stunners, go for dex/str :)

    • The bot video lasts 35 minutes and not everything is shown there, if everything was shown, the video could have lasted several hours. Also, the video quality is reduced so as not to take up much space.The last minutes of the video show bots attacking each other on the event. https://dropmefiles.com/1jMi2
    • We also forgot to say that the deal will be the way you want it, we are ready for almost any of your demands. And we ask the administration to review our post as soon as possible, because several hours have passed and it still hasn't passed moderation, thank you in advance!  
    • 💥Super offer GitHub Account  (5 years)💥 ⚠️ Available to order for only $20🔥
    • Good day to all! We present to your attention our source code h5, where several projects used and achieved very good results, both in terms of online and in general for the project. (Due to confidentiality, the list of projects, the test server and what the basis of the source code will be provided only to real buyers, where they can go and check them out)   The main feature is bots, which are very animated, one to one like real players. But, in addition to bots, the build has a lot of interesting and modern things. Below will be a video showing bots and a little about the server.   As we said, the build was used on several projects, so the first thing that is there is not a single backdoor on the server, all serious and critical errors have been fixed. Races and classes are closer to the official PTS platform.   And also the server can be used as a classic server, as well as a server with add-ons, because the server has added many new things, weapons, armor, jewelry, hats, cloaks, etc.   The server has a full working community board (alt+b), working locations, quests, geodata, mechanism, working ai, in general there are no problems and complaints. In alt+b, shops, various services, buffer, player statistics, clan statistics, mail, profession change, personal account, registration for events, etc. are available.   Additional services: Premium account, visual costumes, nickname change services (for yourself and your pet), nickname and title painting service, karma/PC cleaning, expand services, weapon/armor/jewelry sharpening service, level up and down service, nobles purchase service, beauty salon (new hairstyle change from higher chronicles and face change), additional window purchase service, clan reputation purchase service, weapon augmentation purchase service.   Internal services: auto potions (acp), referral system, repair services, automatic reward delivery after n. time, additional auction, and other working systems, also many available commands, such as: exact date of epic respawn, password change directly inside the game, offline buffer, auto att, registration for castle sieges directly by entering a command and other available commands.   The server has protection (both on the server side and on the client side) that protects against free software and also several other anti-bot systems that will not give the slightest chance to bot users. But if you want people to use software, you just turn it off.   Bots. As we said, one of the main features of our server is bots, they are one to one like real players, now a little about bots and below is a link to a video about how they work: Server bots are like real players, their AI is copied from the AI ??of real characters, and therefore they get what real players get and you can also do with them everything that can be done with real characters.   They write in chats, in all chats, trade, shout, pm, clan chat, general chat. They walk around the cities, level up, farm, kill each other in pvp and pc, put on weapons, armor, jewelry, sharpen weapons. According to their level, they will choose their professions, join clans, participate in different events, use alt+b services - I'm telling you, their AI is copied and adapted like a real player's AI, so they can do everything that a real player can.   Bot control: You can set a chat and words for bots, how often or rarely they will write in chats, you can control where and how the bots will level up, you can control what events they will be at, you can control what cities they will run in, you can control where they will stand, you can even call them to you and that's not all, they are completely in your hands and you can twist them as you want. The bot video lasts 35 minutes and not everything is shown there, if everything was shown, the video could have lasted several hours. Also, the video quality is reduced so as not to take up much space.   You can check the rest yourself on the test server and we will fully show you everything that bots are capable of and you will be surprised)   Now about the price and a little about our work and what is included in this price. We do not sell only the build, we sell the source code in its entirety, so that you can adapt something for yourself. The price of the source code: 15,000 euros. What is included in this price: 1. We do not have a license, you buy it once and you can use it for the rest of your life. 2. There is no online limit and there is also no limit on running bots, the server can support as much online and bots as your VDS is powerful. 3. Client-side protection. You will not pay extra for protection, the source code already has everything. 4. All builds that we have created for projects that bought the source from us (they have ready-made servers, with their own ready-made concepts, configs, different alt+b designs, for different rates x1, x10, x20, x50, x100, x1200, x5000, there are also servers for classics and servers with add-ons, they all have configured bots for their servers) all this will be included in this price. You will receive all the builds of these projects. 5. Once a year we update and improve the source, we will also improve the bots, make different paths for them, different farming places, and revive them more and more, to get them you will have to pay 20 euros to get the updates. 6. You will receive all the bot settings from our first projects to the last, the video shows little, our last configured bots are almost indistinguishable from real players and you will see this yourself on the test server or later. (Our last setup and development of bots lasted 11 months and these works and what bots can do cannot be described in words, you yourself must see them to feel this work and power) 7. We will teach you how to control both the server and training on setting up and controlling bots. 8. We will provide you with VDS for 3 months and if necessary we will help you as much as we can until the first launch of your project! 9. Our bots move, they don't stand in one place, they walk around the cities and use a teleport, after the teleport they move on to the farming place in random places. They communicate in the chat and if you hit them, they can hit you back. They are in almost every city and farming location, near many key NPCs, instance zone managers, etc. They are automatically updated and move around the cities and farming zones. They attack those who have a flag and those who is pk. These are simply unique bots that can help you in terms of your online and your project in general! 10. As we said, our latest bot development lasted 11 months and we made 92 new farm zones for bots, more than 150,000 new paths for all locations, different methods of dressing their equipment, different methods of their behavior and more than 40,000 universal words in the chat, in different languages, where no one can even doubt that these are bots!
