'''Shillien Elders''' (SE) are generally seen as healers and are considered the best wizard buffers. They can use robes and light armor and any weapon. They have '''Dyrad Root''', '''Recharge''' and '''Greater Group Heal''' as well as all standard buffs and two exclusive (and very good) buffs.

The first one is '''Vampiric Rage''' which gives the player healing from the melee damage they deal; this spell is of course especially interesting for classes which deal a lot of melee damage, but have not many hitpoints and relatively bad defense (for example, [[Lineage II/Classes/Tyrant|Tyrant]] or [[Lineage II/Classes/Treasure Hunter|Treasure Hunter]]). In any case, this buff saves mana otherwise needed for healing and makes up for the lack of the Greater Battle Heal of the [[Lineage II/Classes/Bishop|Bishop]].

A likewise effect to Vampiric Rage is available for level 74 [[Lineage II/Classes/Bladedancer|Bladedancer]] and level 44 [[Lineage II/Classes/Warcryer|Warcryer]]; still the SE gets this buff much earlier (level 30) and masters it first (level 72) (Warcryer maxes at 74).

The second buff is '''Empower'''. This spell causes nukers ([[Lineage II/Classes/Sorcerer|Sorcerer]], [[Lineage II/Classes/Spellsinger|Spellsinger]], [[Lineage II/Classes/Spellhowler|Spellhowler]]) to make more damage in their offensive spells. It can be combined with the prophets Berserk and Acumen as well as the corresponding [[Lineage II/Classes/Bladedancer|Bladedancer]]s dances to max the damage of nuker spells.

SEs are harder to solo as [[Lineage II/Classes/Prophet|Prophet]]s, as they can't buff themselves as well, and harder to solo as [[Lineage II/Classes/Bishop|Bishop]]s, as those at least get an abundance of good spells against undead, and are still worse than [[Lineage II/Classes/Elder|Elven Elder]]s, who also get at least a specialized damage spell against undead that is still getting updated. Therefore SEs are even more dependent upon getting a party as the other clerical classes. Up to about level 55, they might however still manage to kill undead with their Disrupt Undead spell, but its not exactly a fast or efficient way to level.

The best party for a SE is a combo with [[Lineage II/Classes/Prophet|Prophet]] and a [[Lineage II/Classes/Bladedancer|Bladedancer]] and a couple of melee high damage dealers and/or nukers. Together with the [[Lineage II/Classes/Prophet|Prophet]], a SE can buff such a party faster (if the prophet has the knowledge which spells the SE already has, which many don't have) and to the maximum possible effectiveness level (except for the buffs Agility and Resist Shock, which are exclusive to [[Lineage II/Classes/Elder|Elven Elder]]s).

On higher levels, the SE becomes the dreampartner of nukers, because the high level spells are very mana expensive and the SE can give them lots of Mana; for one point spend by the Shillien the nuker gets four points back into his mana pool, if the nuker has the skill for it. [[Lineage II/Classes/Elder|Elven Elder]]s can also recharge Mana, but do not have the ''Empower'' buff.

For raids, SEs are not as good as a [[Lineage II/Classes/Bishop|Bishop]]s, as they can't heal as fast as the later, while raid bosses usually deal huge amounts of damage that can't be healed up just with Vampiric Rage. But in dungeons, SEs shine, especially if the warriors of the group use polearm weapons. With the Vampiric Rage, such a warrior can fight a large group of opponents at the same time with the pole, and still need no (or much less) healing.
