Lineage II/Classes: Difference between revisions

Also called tanks, defensive warriors specialize into heavy armor and the shield, and into focussing attacks on them.

=== General Warriors ===

These are the other warriors that do not fit into the categories defensive, offensive or support.  Gladiators and Destroyers are very good in both offense and defense. Warlords are totally specialzied into the polearm useage. And dwarves simply aren't the greatest warriors, its their other class features which make them great.

=== Support Warriors ===

Offering group buffs, but also being full featured warriors by themselves, the support warriors are the battle oriented Lineage 2 variant of what is known from other games as the Bard.

=== Offensive Warriors ===

With only light armor, but being able to dish out massive damage, the dagger users and the special case Tyrant qualify as offensive warriors.

=== Archers ===

Ranged attacks where uber strong in the first versions of the game, which is why they require now enormous masses of resources (both ss and bsps).

== Mystics ==

These offensive wizards can deal extreme damage through their spells. They also have mass spells and various group effects. A special case is the necromancer, who totally specializes into debuffs, but also has some of the strongest nuker spells - as well as summons (but no support spells for them).

=== Summoners ===

Summoners let their summon do the work and support it with their servitor buffs and healing spells.

=== Buffers ===

Buffers max out other players, which is why everyone loves to party with them. They also get some more offensive spells than the healer classes, and thanks to their own buffs they can solo quite well. While the Prophet at least gets Battle Heal (enough to heal a bit in emergency), the Shamans really only get regeneration skills.

=== Healers ===

Compared to buffers, healers can offer a lot more and a lot longer healing. These classes also have some nice buffs, except the Bishop who is totally specialized into healing and has the best and strongest healing and raise dead spells.
