Paladin:

Paladin is a defensive melee warrior. He uses swords and blunts with shield and heavy armor. He can stun and gets a large palette of skills specifically against undead.

Like all pure tank classes, he has Aggression and Hate Aura to attract mobs to focus their attacks on him (instead of on other party members), and he has Shield Fortress and Ultimate Defense to increase his defense values, and Deflect Arrow to make bow attacks much less efficient on him. He also has the passive skills Final Fortress to increase p.def with falling hp, and Shield Mastery to improve the effectivity of shields.

Like the Dark Avenger, he has Shield Stun and Majesty.

He can protect himself from incoming attacks from all directions using Aegis Stance. He can heal himself using Holy Blessing.

Against Undead, he gets better fight values with the passive skills Holy Armor and Holy Blade, and the active skills Holy Strike and Sanctuary.

[edit] Equipment

Naturally, the Paladin tries to get the best one-handed sword or blunt and shield of the level.

C-grade: Samurai Longsword / Yaksa Mace, B-Grade: Sword of Damascus / Art of Battle Axe / Deadman's Glory, A-Grade: Dark Legion's Edge / Elysian Axe.

On c-grade, the full plate armor gives another nice bonus to the shield skills. On b-grade, the Avadon and Doom Sets are even much better. The boni of the a-grade Dark Crystal set on shields is amusingly less good, but the improved p.def and good immunities make up for this.

Paladins need the following spellbooks: Level 40: Holy Blessing, Remedy; Level 43: Iron Will; Level 46: Holy Strike; Level 52: Sacrifice.

[edit] Playstyle

Tanks are obviously quite easy to solo, only a little boring maybe.

Inside groups, they activate their Hate Aura and keep mobs attacking them instead of the damage dealers.

Best group for a tank is of course a mix of buffers, a large number of damage dealers and nukers, and maybe a healer. Best buffer for the tank himself is a Prophet who avoids buffing 'Berserker Spirit' to the tank, plus an Elven Elder - because of their Agility and Bless shield buffs, but they can also give mana and healing and raise almost as good as a Bishop - and a Swordsinger. Of course the other party members will prefer other buffer classes which optimize offense instead of defense. Most anoying for the tank is probably an Overlord because they buff Berzerker Spirit - on everyone of the alliance, so you don't even have to be in party with the Overlord to receive this buff.

The Paladin is optimal for battling undeads, which specifically appear en masse in some dungeons as well as many other places, for example Executioneer Ground, Dragon Valley, Devastated Castle, or TOI.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abyss Walker:

Abyss Walker are offensive melee warriors. They use daggers and light armor. They really depend on jumping from behind and backstabbing, before someone starts killing them(they bite the dirt really easy). Their critical power is outstanding, plus the good moving speed and the handy "Ultimate evasion skill" almost makes them impossible to hit. Overall they can kill every class if you have a good tactic and don't face nukers in front of you :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bishop:

Bishop (or Cardinal) is one of the three healer classes, and also considered to be the best healer in Lineage II.

Bishop is the only class which gets the uber healing spells Greater Battle Heal and Restore Life, and they get the powerful Mass Resurrection. They also can solo undead non-group mobs quite easily.

[edit] Equipment/Playstyle

Bishops get the skill to wear both robes and light armor. Like all clerical classes, they get a generic weapon skill that allows to use all weapons equally well. While battling undead with their spells, they will prefer weapons with high matk. Otherwise, they have little use for it. Still wizard weapons are a good choice for bishops on high levels as they can have special abilities like Mana Up or Acumen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BladeDancer:

Bladedancers are warriors with (mostly) offensive group buffs (dances). They use heavy armor and dual swords.

All dances are gained only once and never get stronger. Many dances stack with ordinary buffs, thats why everyone loves to have a Bladedancer (and/or Swordsinger) in the party, even if they themselves are not exactly the toughest warriors. Dances (and songs) only last 2 minutes, so you have dance again very often when playing this class.

* Armor Mastery (5) - Increases P.def for heavy / P.def and Evasion for light armor. (5/10+2/15+2)

* Weapon Mastery (3) - Attack power increases. (5/10/15)

[edit] Equipment

On c-grade, full plate set would be optimal as the other heavy sets offer no bonus that is worth the lesser pdef. On b-grade, blue wolf heavy is the set of choice - and it looks damned good on darkelves, too, especially with dual samurai longsword. On a-grade like always one has a broad selection of good options; Tallum is probably the best one.

Dual Swords up to b-grade can be made with materials from the shop (and crystals or later a dual craft stamp). The real problem is then however to get an a-grade dual sword, because for that you have to get TWO swords (can be Keshanberk and Damascus). And while you can safetly keep other weapons at +3 and give them a crystal for the SA, with dual swords you have to overenchant to +4 and in doing so you risk breaking your weapon, however if you succeed they will bestow additional effects stated on the weapon.

Bladedancers need the following spellbooks: Level 40: Hex.

[edit] Playstyle

Bladedancers are quite okayish soloplayers, but why go solo him if parties are so much more effective and Bladedancers are usually very welcome in them.

[edit] Previous comment

Bladedancers are a special class that combines group buffs with considerable offensive fighting power. On itself the class is already not that bad, but their real power only appears in groups, because many dances stack with effects from normal buffers. Additionally, they have a number of debuffs against opponents like Hex etc.

Bladedancers specialize into the use of dual swords. They can only use heavy armor effectively.

On c-grade the full plate set combined with the Yaksa Mace SA Health, the Orcish Poleaxe SA Long Blow and the Berserker Blade SA Haste would be best. On b-grade Doom Heavy with Art of Battle Axe SA Health, Lance SA Longblow and Great Sword SA Focus. On a-grade Nightmare Heavy with Elysian Axe SA Health, Tallum Glaive SA Health (or Wide Blow) and Dragon Slayer SA Health (or Critical Bleed, but Destroyers don't get many Criticals).

Alternative set up for A grade: Tallum Heavy, Infernal Master with Focus, +5str-5con, +4dex-4con. A strict PVE set-up, very good for soloing in hunting grounds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bounty Hunter:

A level 40 Dwarven Scavenger has to opportunity, after some of the worst class quests in Lineage 2, to become a Bounty Hunter. Bounty Hunters continue to hone their spoil skills. The items that a Bounty Hunter can spoil are those that are extremely rare though needed in large numbers for C, B, and A grade items.

[edit] Skills

Higher level spoil skills dominate the Bounty Hunter skill tree, along with a great new skill: fake death.

[edit] Expertise C, B, A, and S

The ability to use items of higher grades comes at the same time as the crystalize skill (40, 52, and 60 respectively) with S proficiency available at 67.

[edit] Hammer Crush

The Hammer Crush skill is little more than a higher level version of stunning hit.

[edit] Whirlwind

The Whirlwind skill is like wild sweep, just stronger.

[edit] Fake Death

The Fake Death skill allows the Bounty Hunter to play dead for a monster, who thinking they are dead, will attack the nearest character. While the Bounty Hunter is playing dead, MP is consumed continuously. This can be used defensively if the character gets in a situation they cannot fight their way out of, or offensively by attracting multiple mobs and "training" another character by faking death right on top of them, sending the now aggressive mobs after the nearest unfortunate character.

[edit] Party Use

Bounty Hunters are common for duo situations with a healer or buffer. For larger parties in dungeons, a trade off is made between getting extra experience points by having a proficient damage dealer and a money making dwarf. If greed wins, a Bounty Hunter will get a party.

[edit] Clan Use

Now spoiling C and B grade materials, Bounty Hunters can work closely with Warsmiths for specific projects or just a fellow clanmate looking for a recipe for an item.

[edit] Spoil Changes

Because B grade recipes are consumed with the craft, recipes too must be spoiled in larger amounts. High recipe prices upwards of 1 milllion adena are not uncommon, as are dyes that can be worth just as much. These spoilable items continue to keep Bounty Hunters in a good financial state and the target of jealousy to other players.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scavenger:

After level 19 and a class quest, the Dwarven Figther may emerge a Dwarven Scavenger. This class allows the player to continue strengthening their spoil skill and use it against higher and higher level monsters.

[edit] Skills

Though the attack skills will begin to lag behind other classes, the additional income potential should get the Scavenger in top gear quickly and keep them there for the remainder of their play.

[edit] Expertise D

The Expertise D skill allows the Artisan to wear D grade equipment without penalties.

[edit] Blunt Mastery vs. Polearm Mastery

As skill points are usually scarce, it is best for a dwarf to decide early on their weapon masteries of choice. Blunts allow the use of the Stun Attack skill, which can shock an opponent. This is helpful for parties and when going after a single higher level monster.

Polearms allow the use of the Wild Sweep skill, which can knock down multiple opponents. This is useful when soloing against lower level (greens or light blue) monsters in small groups. Later in the game, soloing for dwarves becomes very difficult and ineffective, making the polearm lambasted as a weapon.

[edit] Boost HP and Vital Force

Adding to the tank like nature of the dwarven classes is a maximum hit point (HP) boost and a faster HP regeneration rate when sitting.

[edit] Spoil

The Spoil skill is where the Scavenger and Artisan diverge. Generally, white colored mobs and below can be spoiled consistently, though the chance of an item spoiling decreases the further below your level the mob is.

[edit] Spoil Festival

The Spoil Festival skill allows a Scavenger to spoil multiple enemies in an area with just one move. The cost is about three times the MP, but for groups of four or larger this can be more efficient than individual spoiling.

[edit] Bandage

The Bandage skill cures lower level bleeding inflicted by either monsters or other players, such as by a cursed weapon.

[edit] Party Use

With the changes in Chronicle 2, spoils can be distributed the same as drops and Scavengers are often welcomed into a party if its members are more concerned about adena than experience. The downside of this is the Scavenger does not get all the spoils as they are used to when soloing, though it is unlikely they will get experience as quickly as if they were partied with a large group in a double or triple experience dungeon such as Cruma Tower.

[edit] Clan Use

Clans don't specifically need to have a Scavenger to get the materials and recipes that their Warsmith(s) might need, but it is much more likely that a clan Scavenger will get items upon request. For that reason, clans or alliances generally have a few Scavengers to get key materials and also for a particularly profitable party. The spoil skill will offset their lacking combat skills.

PVP...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Necromanser:

Necromancer are offensive spellcasters specializing into dark magic. They can use all weapons and wear robes.

Necromancers have a broad palette of curses, especially Curse Discord to make one enemy attack another, Curse Fear to make them flee, Curse Poison for damage over time, and the powerful Anchor spell which paralyzes the victim, as well as Forget to make victims unaware of previous attacks, plus quite a number of Debuffs. Against other spellcasters, they have the special spell Silence.

As nukers, they get the spells Vampiric Claw, which does much damage and heals the caster from it, but has a high mana cost, and Death Spike, which costs very little mana, but consumes a cursed bone which one can't buy in the shop and is only dropped sometimes by certain undead opponents, and later Curse Death Link, which has ok damage and cost, but most importantly gets stronger the lower the hp of the caster drops. They can also use Corpse Burst to let fallen victims explode and damage bystanders. Their other mass spells are Mass Slow and Poisonous Cloud.

They can also do some summoning (Summon Corrupted Man for 90% xp loss, Summon Reanimated Man for 30% xp loss), but they lack all the spells to support their summons any further, like healing and buffing, so they will have to rely on their lowlevel spells alone to strengthen the summon, and directly help their summon with their debuff magic. They can however use Transfer Pain to move damage made on them into their summon.

[edit] PVP Scenarios and Behavior

The Necromancer class has received a lot of notoriety for being one of the strongest classes when it comes to PVP. Many Lineage II players have been clamoring for the class to weakened. However, changes have yet to be seen.

In PVP the Necromancer will always first prioritize disabling his or her opponent with either a slow, or sleep spell. Sleep being the preferred spell because most of the Necro's essential anti - player debuffs will not cause the target to wake up. Once the Necromancer is in a presumably good distance. (Out of range if possible.) The aforementioned debuffs will be put into place. The first priority debuff is Curse: Gloom which greatly lowers the opponent's magical defense. And more importantly, hardly ever misses. (More likely, given a small level difference between opponents - never misses at all.) The next is Silence to prevent the target from casting spells or using skills. And then for against archers Curse: Weakness, against melee fighters Anchor. And after that it's just an elementary succession of damage spells like death spike or vampiric claw.

In high speed PVP battles, normally against other nukers, (especially the fast casting spellsinger) some Necromancers prefer just using Curse: Gloom and bombarding the enemy for a quick victory. However, Necromancers rarely do this as they will not risk their spells being canceled.

[edit] Previous Comment

The necromancer is a very diverse class. Not only are they capable of high level sumon magic like their Warlock counterparts, but have the hardest hitting spell available for human caster classes. Many consider the class a middle ground between a Spellhowler and the previously stated Warlock for their use of dark magic and summon skills.

As well as the types of magic already included, the necro has access to more curses of any other class, including the ability to push hate between mobs, paralyzing enemy PC's and a variaty of DOTs (Damage over Time). Not a specialized class but rather one with options.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warlock:

Hexan or Warlock

The Human Summoner class is characterised as the easiest to use of the three summoning classes because of the natural decent Human physical statistics of CON DEX and STR.

[edit] Summoners in General

The three summoner classes have hardly any differences except for their summons themselves. For the Human Warlock the summons take the form of various Cats. Which generally are easy to use because of their decent damage and toughness that have additional basic (though relatively weak and useless) offensive spells (Mega Storm Strike). Also like all the summoners the Human Warlock has access to cubics. Also all summoners have a variety of support spells for their servitors. An integral spell of the summoners is the Transfer Pain spell which transfer missing hp from the Warlock to the Servitor, which he or she can heal.

[edit] Warlock Pros and Cons

The damage of human warlocks come from three sources. The summon, the cubics (the storm cubic), and the warlock himself. The cubics however have poor range. Usually they take action in melee range. (Though some people say that they have roughly 300 - 400 units of range.) So the usual tactics for summoners are to get hard hitting melee weapons. And as melee combatants their decent CON provides better survivability.

The only problem will be most likely the lack of movespeed which can give problems when it comes to sticky situations. Though this can be remedied with items like potions.

Lastly, (though it doesn't necessarily apply to the other summoning classes) Human Warlocks will usually use dyes and tattoos to manipulate their INT (which is responsible for spell damage) towards other more important statistics as they rarely use their old wizard spells in high levels, like WIT (for casting speed) and MEN (for concentration and more mana)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyrant:

Tyrants are offensive melee warriors (damage dealer, DD) of the orcs. They are specialized into Fist Weapons and Light Armor, and have Stun attacks.

The extraordinarily high damage they deal is achieved through by their attack speed, not through high P.Atk (Gladiator, Destroyer) or through many and strong criticals with a dagger (Treasure Hunter, Abyss Walker, Plainswalker).

Compared to the Destroyer, Tyrants have only a very small number of hitpoints, and a bad pdef thanks to the limitation to light armor. They also lack the uber emergency abilities like Guts and Frenzy.

Tyrants are the only class that is really specialized into fist weapons. These offer good accuracy, which is good for Orcs with their low Dexterity. Like for dual swords, two hits of a fist weapon count as one attack, so if you compare Fists with other weapons, you have to double the damage dealt in one attack. Fortunately, one also needs only one set of soul shots (1-3 of them depending upon weapon) for these two attacks, unless one of them misses - the soul shots are then still consumed for the other attack.

Tyrants have a number of special abilities called Totems. They can be activated freely, but only the last activated one matters, and they need a certain time to regenerate. Most last far longer than the regeneration time, an exception is the Ogre Totem. The Puma Totem together with Fist Fury gives the Tyrant his especially high attack speed; they also get the passive skill Boost Attack Speed just like Treasure Hunters.

Tyrants also have special attacks, which work very much like spells, but need a lot of time to regenerate. Before they are used, they have also to be loaded through the special ability Focus Force. One can load this special skill up to 7 times, each increase will strengthen the power of the skill used afterwards. There are also energy stones which can store energy for the Tyrant to be used for these skills.

[edit] Development

The special Focus Force and damage dealing attacks are rarely used outside of PvP, so one can concentrate on Stun and all standard skills (Light and Armor Mastery, Totems, Boost Attack Speed, Fist Fury etc) if sp are too low.

[edit] Equipment

Like any other warrior, Tyrants will have a polearm weapon with them, for battling multiple opponents at a time.

A main problem of Tyrants are soul shots. Thank god for Con 47 and only Light Armor to wear, but still the Tyrant runs out of soul shots very fast. One strategy against this problem is using compressed packages, the other is getting a b-grade or better weapon.

On c-grade, Tyrants will obviously prefer the Plated Leather Set (+4 Str, -1 Con) over the higher protection of other c-grade armor, on b-grade the light Doom Set would be best (Dex gives Atk.speed and criticals), while on a-grade the Dark Crystal Light Set is the favorite choice, and the Nightmare Light Set isn’t bad either, because of the small vampiric effect.

Tyrants often have trouble getting good fist weapons as they are so seldom and Shamans often want to have them, too. Damage wise Focus and Haste are probably the best SAs, however in 1 to 1 PvP the Health SA on the Dragon Grinder and the Demon Splinter is much better.

Tyrants usually sacrifice 4 Con for getting 4 Dex, which helps against the various effects of their bad orcish Dexterity and, besides other things, gives a big PvP advantage thanks to higher running speed, especially in combination with the Wolf Totem.

[edit] Playstyle

Tyrants are very party dependent. Well buffed, protected from attacks by the leadership of a tank or under the supervision of a good healer, they are maybe the strongest warrior class of all and potentially dealing more damage than even the dagger users. But without a party and buffs, they are probably the weakest of all warriors, having the worst p.def of all fighters, hardly any good evasion, no rogue skills to avoid enemies, and no way to heal themselves except through potions or endless resting.

As already said, Tyrants usually fight with the Puma Todem and the Fist Fury style. While being alone, the Ogre often is more effective than Puma - much less damage received, some healing, and less soul shots used, all for a little less damage dealt per time unit. Unfortunately Ogre causes also very slow movement and is therefore often not applicable. For traveling, the Wolf stays ideal, while the Rabbit is obviously meant for fleeing tight situations.

Maybe even more than other damage dealers, Tyrants love the vampiric buffs from Shillien Elders (Level 30+), Warcryers (44+) and high level Bladedancers (74), because Tyrants deal even more damage, but have the worst defense of all warrior classes.

The stun attack of the Tyrant is not better than the stun of most other classes, so it fails very often. Only Paladin and Dark Avenger get a really good stun.

The special attacks which need to be prepared with Focus Force are mostly toys except for Hurricane Assault. Force Blaster can be used as a replacement for a ranged attack, and Force Storm can attract a group of mobs if you want to attack them with a polearm. If you run away and reload your Focus Force, you can also use Force Buster to soften them even more before finishing them in direct melee.

Tyrants often get unwanted attention from mobs in a group. There are a number of standard tactics against this - using the hate aura and/or aggression of the tank, or using paralyze or stun, the later possibly from the Tyrant himself, on the mob.

[edit] Player versus Player

The Tyrant is one of the stronger PvP classes. They can run very fast when using the Rabbit Spirit Totem skill, can Cripple any archer or nuker trying to get out of reach, have high attack speed to disrupt nukers, and have two stun attacks (but don’t overestimate those), two damage attacks and, if everything else failed, the final Punch of Doom. If they have time to prepare themselves, they also have the Assault Attack for even a bit more damage at a good place in the fight.

Still they have very much trouble against Destroyers. The problem is, the moment the Destroyer falls below 30% hp and activates Guts (you suddenly deal only one third of damage) and Frenzy (the guy hits you suddenly three times harder), you are doomed. One trick here is to realize that Guts helps nothing against magic, and that the Tyrant can deal a lot of magic damage with his Force Blaster. So running away (Destroyers are very slow), loading Force Focus to maximum level, then using Force Blaster might give you the necessary edge. Don’t run away too long - Destroyers can heal their hp much faster than Tyrants, AND they can use Bows. Having Health on your Dragon Grinder or Demon Splinter might also give you an important edge.

Against archers, the Rabbit might be considerable, as it makes you even faster than the Wolf and gives you Evasion. Approach with the Rabbit, cripple the victim, then change to Puma and finish him off. Of course this works only once; if there are multiple archers (which is normal for PKs), Puma might be a bad choice as it lowers your pdef even more.

No Space Sorry:

Treasure Hunter:

Treasure Hunter is the offensive melee warrior (damage dealer) of the humans. They wear light armor and wield daggers.

They have relatively bad defenses, but deal high damage, especially through their high number of criticals which also deal very much additional damage. They are seen as the best dagger user in respect to pure damage output, because they gets both Critical Chance like the Plainswalker and Critical Power like the Abyss Walker, additionally the passive ability Boost Attack Speed and the special skill Dash. All these skills make up for their lack in the stats especially when compared to the Abyss Walker.

* Weapon Mastery (3) - Increases P.Atk. (5/10/15)

[edit] Development

The TH get all the good skills to deal damage, which makes more than up for the much lower Dexterity compared to the elvish races.

[edit] Equipment

The best equipment for the Treasure Hunter is of course always the best dagger and the damage dealer light armor of the grade. For c-grade this would be the Crystal Dagger with SA Critical Damage and the Plated Leather Armor set if one wants maximum damage, while the Theca Leather Set would give better defenses; a third good choice is the Drake Leather set which gives almost as much P.Def as Theca, but also a bonus on M.Def. For b-grade the best equipment would be the Demon Sword with one of the two remaining SAs (unless you are so uber lucky to get your hands on one with SA Might Mortal) or Kris with SA Focus, combined with the Doom Light Set (which, thanks to the Dex Bonus, is a LOT better than all other armors on b-grade). For a-grade this would be the Soul Separator with SA Critical Damage or a Bloody Orchid with Focus, and the Dark Crystal Light Set or the Nightmare Set (the later gives a bit of healing through own damage, ideal for soloplay, and a +1 to Dex, not really the uber bonus but better than nothing).

Because they benefit so greatly from criticals, one will want to give the TH the maximum possible boost of +5 through dyes, probably preferably at cost of constitution. Damage junkies will also boost their strength. It is however advisable to wait with lowering the constitution score until one has a b-grade weapon, at least as long as one wants to also use shots, as treasure hunters need more shots than the average warrior.

[edit] Adventuring

Dagger users are damage dealers with good offense but bad defense. Damage dealers are usually much better in parties. But as the TH is however a very fast selfhealer (decent human constitution score, Vital Force, Relax), their downtime is quite bearable. Additionally, they have a lot of skills which allows them to enter everywhere and seek the best farming points.

The best skills to use depend very much on the situation, even if Accuracy is so cheap and has such a strong effect that one keeps it up all the time. Vicious Stance gets better and better with higher levels, as one gets more criticals, but consumes a lot of mp and should always be disabled again after a fight.

In a party, the dagger user is probably best of with a Warcryer as they have all the best buffs (Vampiric Rage, Haste, Focus). Second best would be a Shillien Elder (Vampiric Rage, Focus, Death Whisper) combined with a greater Haste potion (if you have access to them); the later can also heal and recharge Mana and would make a good two people combo. A prophet would maximize damage (Haste, Focus, Death Whisper, Berserker Spirit), but not offer that much healing (level 35 Battle Heal).

Of course, the ideal combo would be something like Prophet, Bladedancer and Shillien Elder for buffs, a tanker class to attract the attacks, and various other damage dealers, best combined with a Bounty Hunter for better drops.

Sword Singer:

Sword Singers is mainly a buffer class fighter, but it could perform various other tasks as well.

Equipment/Play Style

Equipment: The proper equipment for a SwordSinger is probably any heavy armour. Since this class is nothing like a damage dealer, the player should take his/her time to escape or kill an opponent. Heavy armours offer satisfactory p.defence, and it depends on the set the player chooses for some extra skills, like stun or sleep or hold resistance, extra HP etc. And just like every other class, good jewelry usually makes a lot of difference.

The weapon could be anything, since a SwordSinger can perform the songs without having to hold any specific weapon. As the matter of fact, the player can perform the songs without holding any weapon (while a BladeDancer can dance only with dual swords in hand). A proper SwordSinger carries a good sword, a shield and a good bow (although the adena is never enough). This way, the chances of being killed by other players are smaller. Dual swords may sound like a good choice, and it is. But only when the player has dances from a BladeDancer. If not, a sword with a special ability and a shield, I believe, is the best choice.

Play Style: Sword Singers were not made for PvP. Playing solo trying to grow is also quite hard, since the little SwordSinger greatly suffers from other players and their Pks, because he/she cannot really fight back. With mobs though, a SwS can easily be saved by Ultimate Defence, a skill that greatly increases the players defences. It takes some time to re-use, so it should be used in really hard situations.

Not many people choose to make a SwS, that's why they can quite easily find clans. From then on, things get easier. In a party the SwS should only keep in mind that every 2 minutes he/she must sing. A bad player of this class is the one that forgets the songs. Other things they can do, is assisting the tank of the party or other co-players when they are in trouble, and also picking up the drops. The most important thing is to not leave the party without songs and so the player should try to be at a small distance from all the party members (which is not always easy). In addition, when there's also a BladeDancer in the party, the two of them should agree on the combination and amount of the songs/dances, so that their MP won't run out and that they won't de-buff their co-players.

[edit] Key Skills

* Song of Warding - Increases party members’ mdef for a period of time.

* Song of Wind - Increases party members speed for a period of time.

* Song of Hunter - Increases party members’ critical chance for a period of time.

* Song of Earth - Increases party members’ pdef for a period of time.

* Song of Vitality - Increases party members maximum HP for a period of time.

* Song of Meditation - Increases party members MP regeneration speed for a period of time.

* Song of Renewal - Shortens party members cooldown and MP usage of magical skills for a period of time.

* Arrest - Puts targets to state of hold for short period of time.

* Psycho Symphony - Reduces nearby enemies cast speed/att speed for a period of time.

[edit] Challenges

Once you manage to do the quests that enable to change your profession from that of a knight to a sword singer, life gets only harder in terms of soloing as well as getting parties. For one thing, a sword singer does not have high defensive points that the counterpart temple knight has, which means that you take more damage from any mob while soloing. Of course the one great thing about a sword singer is that you get a skill called entangle. It is not as good as the dark elven skill hex, but what it does allow you to do is to be able to use a bow and then kite the mob until your mana runs out. Entangle is a debuff that decreases the targeted mob's speed by a lot. This is almost completely useless in parties which are also hard to find because at this point you are considered a by product of 3 species rolled into and a bad one at that to boot! You are considered a semi-tank, a semi-damage dealer as well as a semi-buffer, which can be looked upon as being useless 3 times over or as being a hybrid species that adapts very well to any given circumstance.

One other major draw back to the sword singer is that it isn’t the best pvp character in the world, quite frankly it comes close to the worst character. Pvp on the open ground is completely different than that in the arena. In the arena you cannot take out a bladedancer meleeing because of him having two swords to whack you with. Same goes for the gladiator. You cannot take out any types of archers because of their insane amount of damage in relatively short amounts of time. It is next to impossible to take out any type of nukers because once you are slept it is all over. Some people would say that sword singers are the best characters to go up against nukers because of their magic defensive songs, and I say that who ever says such is full of it. Even if you were to use a bow to try and take out a nuker, the nuker would do more damage to you and faster than you would do to him/her. And if you are slept, might as well try to walk out of the arena since you will surely loose. You also cannot fight against any sort of tanks for two reasons... one being the high amount of hp that they have and the other being the stun skill that they have.

I am adding this in addition to the previous statements as because I play a sword singer. At higher levels sword singers have the capability of pvping certain classes more efficiently such as spell howlers and sorcerers because of specific protection songs like flame guard, storm guard, warding and invocation. Some mages go down quick if they are not as of the same level as you. At level 72 with self buffs and a combination of enchanted a/b jewels it is possible to have 1112 mdef and at that point you are able to take out mages quite well if fully buffed and songs up. But once again a sword singer is not known for their pvp capabilities but rather their defensive songs. Sword singers work especially well in archer parties with song of hunter and wind. Pvp songs are usually hunter, wind, and warding, while PvE songs are hunter, and earth. A sword singer has reached most of its usefulness once it has reached earth which is 64 I think. Beyond that unless you are going for sword muse you just have higher focus minds to look for which allows you to keep more songs up.

[edit] Uses of Swordsingers

In any case a sword singer is the one party member that is a must in any group. Also there are not to many sword singers for the fact that it is really hard to get into parties from the start until about lvl 49 and it definitely gets easier when you hit lvl 55. The main thing about the sword singer is that he buffs entire parties with songs very similar to the buffs cast by overlords and warcryers. The main song is the song of hunter which increases the rate of critical hits, the other main song is the song of Earth which gives an increased defensive stats for the duration of the song. If ever you do manage to make a sword singer, it is a well known fact that the best type and the smallest type of party consists of a swordsinger, a blade dancer and a shillien oracle. You can hunt anywhere with only those three members and can hunt really fast with the combined swordsinger and blade dancers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spellsinger:

Spellsinger is a damage dealing mage class (so-called nuker). They get a unspecific weapon skill and a skill to use robes. The spellsinger has the ability to inflict massive damage at targets from the distances.

Key Skills

* Hydro Blast: Quick reuse time, a lot of damage, good casting speed

* Surrender to Water: A debuff that almost doubles damage with water spells

* Frost Bolt: Slows the enemy causing some damage

* Aura Flare: Extreme casting speed, good damage, melee range though.

[edit] Equipment

Spellsingers wear robes. Being the fastest of the three nukers class, but having the weakest m.atk, spellsingers prefer equipment which strengthens their spells.

On no-grade, all mystics except orcs will try to get the devotion set which speeds up spellcasting. On d-grade, sorcerers love to have the knowledge set for additional damage, but the gloves of that set are droponly and therefore hard to get. On c-grade the demon robe set is the favorite for very impressing damage improvements, even if the hp penalty of that set is a considerable drawback for elves (one could try to get a dye for getting more Con at cost for Str). On b-grade Doom and Zubei are good choices. On a-grade no set really has been made for the spellsinger, but anything but Tallum is probably considerable.

Naturally, nukers prefer mage weapons with high matk and magic effects like Empower, Mana Up, UpDown, Acumen etc. For no-grade, the Voodoo Doll and the Crucifix of Blessing are best (and both can be combined with a shield). On d-grade, the Staff of Life would be optimal (but very hard to get) as it is again one-handed; otherwise the Ghost Staff and the Atuba Mace/Hammer all offer the same m.atk. On c-grade, the Homunkulus Sword would be the best onehanded weapon, which also can have two very good SA's, too (Acumen and UpDown). Otherwise, the Ghoul/Demon/Deadmans staff offer more matk, but their SA's are not that great (Ghoul Staff can have Mana Up, however).

On b-grade the Hell Knife (Magic Regeneration, Magic Mental Shield, Magic Weakness) and the Sword of Valhalla (Acumen, Magic Weakness, Magic Regeneration) are options for people who prefer to play with a shield. Otherwise there is of course the Staff of Evil Spirits (only crappy magic SAs). On a-grade, the favorite weapon of all mystics (except orcs) is definitely the Sword of Miracles with SA Acumen. Alternatively nukers can use the Branch of The World Tree with either Acumen, Empower or UpDown; spellsingers will probably prefer to get Empower.

Sacrificing Str for more Con is an absolutely natural choice for spellsingers, they have no use for Str. They will often also want to sacrifice either Men or Wis for more Int to get more matk.

[edit] Playstyle

Nukers tend to be loners. However, spellsingers still can get a party once in a while, because their mass sleep effects are welcomed for tight situations. Inside a party, nukers have to step careful. If they are the first ones who attack mobs, they will have to use the same techniques as in solo play (hit and run) while the rest of the party runs after them. Therefore it is best to wait for the party to attack first, so the focus of the mob is already focussed on someone else when the nuker uses his high damage spells.

On their own, nukers typically use hit and run techniques - they attack a mob with their highest range spell, run until it has recharged, then attack again. With this technique, nukers can kill even red mobs. Spellsingers are best at this technique, as they are both the fastest runners and the fastest spellcasters.

All nukers make good two people parties with Shillien Elders who can empower them and give them Mana, a feature which becomes very important on high levels with the Seal of Element spells which suck endless Mana away. Elven Elders work also - they can't empower, but can give Mana.

[edit] Class Comparison

Elves are the fastest spellcasters, but have worse matk than Humans and especially Darkelves.

Spellsingers are definitely an elven class which can at least keep up with their human and elven counterparts (Sorcerer and Spellhowler). In fact, they are easiest to play, as they are the fastest runners and fastest spellcasters; hardly do they ever get interrupted or even get hit at all. If you love elves, but want a strong class, spellsinger is definitely a good choice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spellhowler:

Spellhowler (SH) are offensive spellcasters (nukers) of the Dark Elves. They wear Robes and can use any weapon, even if they usually prefer those with high M.Atk.

This class specializes in wind and dark magic

Key Skills

* Hurricane: Fast reuse and lot of damage.

[edit] Development

This section is a stub. Help us expand it, and you get a cookie.

[edit] Equipment

In general, anything that gives the SH casting speed is usually a good idea. Casting speed means your chance of getting interrupted is much lower, and it’s a huge advantage in PvP. For tattoos, the common setup for a spellhowler is +4CON-5STR, +4WIT-4MEN, +4INT-4MEN. However, if you wish to add even more the already slow casting howler, you can swap the +4CON-5STR for a +1WIT-1MEN.

* C-Grade: Demon Set (or Karmian Set) with Homunkulus' Sword SA Acumen.

* B-Grade: Avadon Set with Sword of Valhalla SA Acumen.

* A-Grade: Dark Crystal Set with Sword of Miracles SA Acumen.

* S-Grade: Dark Crystal Set (or Major Arcana Set) with Arcana Mace SA Acumen.

[edit] Magic

* Hurricane: Good damage and recast time.

* Death Spike: Good damage and recast time, low MP needed, but you must have cursed bones.

* Vampiric Claw: Good damage, but lots of MP needed. Only use when low on HP.

* Body To Mind: Fantastic skill for gaining mana. A good strategy is to Body To Mind until you have low HP, then use Vampiric Claw or Corpse Life Drain until you're full. Repeat until you have lots of MP. You can also use this strategy to lower your HP for Curse Death Link.

* Shadow Flare: Overhit skill. Good to use when enemy is weak. Try not to use too much in case you don't have any SP when it comes to getting new skills.

* Curse Death Link: Not as effective anymore with mobs UD'ing. Otherwise, the less HP you have, the more damage you do.

[edit] Adventuring

Nukers are loners, and the Spellhowler is even more so than elvish Spellsingers and human Sorcerers, because the latter at least have mass sleep spells.

Especially spellsingers can be found to almost go into melee with their spells quite often, because their fastest spells are almost uninterruptible. Spellhowlers however are slow casters, the best strategy for them is to run away until they have some distance, cast their spell, then continue running away. The Slow spell is a very important tool for the spellhowler, as are speed potions.

During soloplay, the spellhowler usually battles to use up his Manapool as slowly as possible. This can be done by casting the Body to Mind spell multiple times between the wind attacks, then combining them with the Vampiric Claw and Corpse Life Drain attack.

Dark magic is very strong, but some mobs are very resistant, and wind attacks tend to be cheaper, at least in the beginning. There is a nice combination of using Body To Mind spell that keeps Spellhowler's health at minimum and powerful Curce Death Link spell which deals great damage when caster is near death. Also, there are no dark mass attacks until top levels are reached.

No Space Sorry:

Sorcerer:

Sorcerer (female: Sorceress) is a damage dealing mage class (so-called nuker). They get an unspecific weapon skill and a skill to use robes. The sorcerer has the ability to inflict massive damage at targets from the distances.

Key Skills

* Prominence and Surrender to fire

* In close combat Aura flare

* In Kamael and Chronicles

* Fire vortex and crusher is a deadly combo

[edit] Equipment

Sorcerers wear robes. Being the most balanced of the three nukers class, they are relatively free to choose if they prefer robes which offer more spellcasting speed, or robes which offer higher m.atk; most players prefer the later.

On no-grade, all mystics except orcs will try to get the devotion set which speeds up spellcasting. On d-grade, sorcerers love to have the knowledge set for additional damage, but the gloves of that set are droponly and therefore hard to get. On c-grade the demon robe set is the favorite for very impressing damage improvements, the hp penalty of that set is no problem for sorcerers. That set is so good that temptation is high to keep it until a-grade, while both Zubei and Avadon robes are not bad to have for more mp and better p.def. Preferences on a-grade is for the Dark Cristal set robe.

Naturally, sorcerers prefer mage weapons with high matk and magic effects like Empower, Mana Up, UpDown, Acumen etc. For no-grade, the Voodoo Doll and the Crucifix of Blessing are best (and both can be combined with a shield). On d-grade, the Staff of Life would be optimal (but very hard to get) as it is again one-handed; otherwise the Ghost Staff and the Atuba Mace/Hammer all offer the same m.atk. On c-grade, the Homunkulus Sword would be the best onehanded weapon, which also can have two very good SA's, too (Acumen and UpDown). Otherwise, the Ghoul/Demon/Deadmans staff offer more matk, but their SA's are not that great (Ghoul Staff can have Mana Up, however).

On b-grade, there is a special weapon, the Hell Knife, a dagger. Has the highest matk of all daggers and can be combined with a shield; unfortunately it doesn't have magic SAs, which is a shame, because it would be the most stylish weapon for a necromancer. There is also the Sword of Valhalla, which is very beautiful, but cannot have any SAs at all. The b-grade staffs have only crappy magic SA's, too.

On a-grade, the favorite weapon of all mystics (except orcs) is definitely the Sword of Miracles with SA Acumen. Alternatively the sorcerer can use the Branch of The World Tree with either Acumen, Empower or UpDown. Also is good Elemental Sword vith SA Empower.

Nukers will naturally want to sacrifice Men for Wis or Int - or both. Also, giving Str for Con or Dex or both is done very easily, as Nukers naturally have no use for Str at all.

[edit] Playstyle

Nukers tend to be loners. However, sorcerers still can get a party once in a while, because their mass sleep effects are welcomed for tight situations. Inside a party, sorcerers have to step careful. If they are the first ones who attack mobs, they will have to use the same techniques as in solo play (hit and run) while the rest of the party runs uselessly after them. Therefore it is best to wait for the party to attack first, so the focus of the mob is already focussed on someone else when the nuker uses his high damage spells.

On their own, nukers typically use hit and run techniques - they attack a mob with their highest range spell, run until it has recharged, then attack again. With this technique, nukers can kill even red mobs.

However, all nukers make good two people parties with Shillien Elders who can empower them and give them Mana, a feature which becomes very important on high levels with the Seal of Element spells which suck endless Mana away. Elven Elders work also - they can't empower, but can give Mana.

[edit] Class Comparison

Unlike Necromancers, Sorcerers are mainly focused on elemental spells instead of the use of black magic.

Unlike spellsingers, a class which uses no black magic at all, Sorcerers have the ability to use slow, one of the black magic necromancer have.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shillien Knight:

Shillien Knight is a defensive melee warrior (tank). He uses swords and blunts with shield and heavy armor. He has a large palette of debuffs and can paralyze. Too, he can drain hp from enemies and poison them.

Like all pure tank classes, he has Aggression and Hate Aura to attract mobs to focus their attacks on him (instead of on other party members), and he has Shield Fortress and Ultimate Defense to increase his defense values, and Deflect Arrow to make bow attacks much less efficient on him. He also has the passive skills Final Fortress to increase p.def with falling hp, and Shield Mastery to improve the effectivity of shields.

He can absorb health with both Drain Health (like Dark Avenger) and Life Leech (the later is however weaker).

Like Temple Knight, he get the passive skill Aegis which allows to get the shield bonus for attack from all directions on level 60, and the active skill Guard Stance to boost tank skills at the cost of MP. He can also summon cubics, but of different kinds (debuff/absorb health/poison instead of heal/support).

Like other darkelven warriors, he has a number of debuffs. Hex lowers enemies p.def. Freezing Strike slows enemies down. Power Break reduces enemies p.atk. And with Sting one can try to make enemies bleed, while Poison causes some other form of damage over time.

From level 58 on, he can paralyze opponents with Lightning Strike. The only other class which is able to paralyze are the Necromancers with their Anchor spell.
