Lineage II/Classes: Difference between revisions

It should be noted here, that although the different classes have their advantages and disadvantages, there is generally a balance between them. That means no class is better than another, instead they specialise in different things. So in choosing your prefered class/race, you should find what suits your style of play, and what would be ''best for you'', meaning specifically: what you enjoy to play for a long time.

The names in parentheses are the new C4 3rd class change names which can be archieved after reaching level 76 in a class.

Elves are limited to "light" magic and tend a little towards defensive class concepts. Their fighters have highest Dexterity (Atkspeed, Criticals, Accuracy, Evasion, Running Speed), and their mystics have highest Wits (Castspeed, Mag Critical, Hold and Curse Resistance). Light Elven warriors, especially the Swordsingers, have a rather large amount of self-buffs, making them a very naturaly choice for soloing early on.
