**Escaron** · 10-11-2004, 07:54 AM

I remember playing it in a free demo from PC gamer like 2 years ago. I didn't like it cause im not one for the whole "ages of empire" genre but if you like those types of games like rome total war then yea it would be good.

The ancient game you're thinking of is Lineage 1. That is very old. Lineage 2 however, is AMAZING!!!! Lineage 1 and 2 are by far the best games I have ever played in my whole life on any platform. A very good site for lineage 2 is www.L2orphus.com IT gives way more info then the official site. All classes in the game are very balanced and it has something for everyone, and there are so many choices.

Dwarf

Bounty Hunter - a scavenger class who uses skills to increase the drop rate on enemies in order to assist in the crafting of items by its counterpart, the Warsmith. very profitable class who can sell materials to warsmiths or those who need them.

Warsmith - a crafting expert who can create weapons with recipes and ingredients for himself or for clan members. a very useful class in sieges who can create mechanical golems to knock down castle walls.

Orc

Destroyer - a spear using HP tank with the ability to attack multiple enemies at once. decent attack power make this class just mediocre, but it has extremely high survivability.

Tyrant - an extremely powerful yet soon-to-be nerfed damage dealing class that wears light armor and has several ranged attacks with a generally high damage output. Dual fists are primary weapon types used for this class.

Overlord - a debuffer class with useful seal skills who buffs clan members in a certain area and debuffs mobs, generally expensive skills SP-wise. Very useful for castle sieges and mob hunting.

Warcryer - an excellent buffing class whose chants can also buff an entire clan within a relatively close viscinity (the area of effect for these skills gets increased after C1).

Dark Elf

Shillien Knight - a tank class, probably third best overall, who deals the most damage of all tanks in the game but who lacks in maximum HP. Summons powerful cubics (up to 3 at once) to drain energy from monsters and heal the summoner with the stolen HP, poison the enemy, and decrease the enemies stats. Heavy armor.

Bladedancer - a powerful buffer with offensive "dances" to increase the party stats. buffs last 2 minutes and are relatively effective, and the SP cost of skills is relatively low. Dual weilding sword class with no armor mastries.

Abyss Walker - an extremely powerful assassin class which uses daggers and focuses on high damage output and fast attack speed. Skills are generally inaccurate, and the class is not mana efficient. light armor is used and evasion is the focus. Useful for groups in dungeons as they have "Unlock" skills which allow them to open locked doors (level 1-3 with 100% success rate at the highest level of unlock skill).

Phantom Ranger - an archer evasion class wearing light armor and using bows. Speed is the focus, however the Elven Silver Ranger surpasses this class in that aspect of play. Powerful "Drain Energy" spells are used as opposed to the elemental heal of its elven counterpart. Damage output is higher than the Silver Ranger but HP and nearly every other stat is lower.

Phantom Summoner - a summoner class with very powerful servitors, which the caster can heal, recharge MP, and buff (haste, physical sheild, magic sheild, might). robe and light armor mastry. powerful Shadow and Sillhouette summons.

Spell Howler - very powerful mage class which focuses on dealing damage with wind attacks, HP absorbing spells, and putting enemies to sleep. also has an area of effect poison cloud spell. skills to disable magic use in enemies are useful skills available to the spell howler, and with the "Quick Recovery" skill, recast times are decreased.

Shillien Elder - a buffer with the ability to stop the movement and alter attacks of enemies, also capable of group healing, yet not as powerful as the human healers. also cures paralysis. light armor or robes.

Elf

Temple Knight - a very useful tank class which has a speed advantage over all other knight classes. sword/blunt and shield usage. the Temple Knight has powerful aggression skills but also has aggression control skills. powerful self-heal spells and self-cure poison and bleeding. self-haste buffs and magic resistance is a key feature, and the Temple Knight has the ability to summon cubics (up to 3 at once) which heal the summoner and attack enemies.

Swordsinger - a defensive buffer class, similar to its counterpart Dark Elven Bladedancer. Self heal skills as well as self-cure poison and bleeding. no armor mastries are given, and swords and blunts are used as the primary weapon of the Swordsinger.

Plain Walker - a powerful assassin class, similar to its counterpart Abyss Walker, yet deals less damage. However, the Plain Walker has higher critical chance and greater accuracy and speed. Aggression control skills and self-heals and self-cures to poison and bleeding. Also is equipped with self-haste skills (both passive and active) to increase the running speed, as well as healing speed in running state. Useful for groups in dungeons as the assassin classes have "Unlock" skills.

Silver Ranger - a fast and powerful archer class which focuses on speed and ranged attacks. aggression control skills are included in this classes arsenal and can prove to be quite useful. self-heal and self-cure (poison and bleeding) are also included in the Silver Ranger's arsenal. both active and passive self-haste skills are used.

Elemental Summoner - a powerful summoner class, similar to its Dark Elven counterpart (Phantom Summoner). Summons unicorn servitors which the caster can heal, recharge MP, shield from physical and magic attacks, buff with haste spells and magic power increases. robes and light armor can be used, however there are no self-heal spells available to this class after the level 40 class change.

Spellsinger - a powerful nuker, similar to its Dark Elven counterpart (Spell Howler). The Spellsinger focuses on water and ice spells, and also has the ability to put single or multiple enemies to sleep. Robe mastry. Decreased recast times are also an advantage of this class.

Elder - a powerful healing class, yet still not as powerful as the human healers. Light armor and robe mastry are available, and many defensive buffs are included in the Elder's arsenal of skills. Among the many useful skills available to the Elder, ressurrection skills are available, as well as teleport spells (to village). The Elder can also put enemies to sleep, as well as limit the movement of enemies. Powerful group heals, and decreased recast time as well as fast spell casting.

Human

Dark Avenger - one of the most powerful tank classes available, the Dark Avenger uses swords and blunt weapons, wears heavy armor, and carries a shield. the Dark Avenger has powerful aggression spells, both single enemy and multiple enemies may be affected by these skills. Also available to the Dark Avenger are powerful "Drain Energy" skills which steal HP from the enemy and use it to recover the users HP. The Dark Avenger has powerful "Shield Stun" skills that put the enemy into a state of shock which disables the enemy from attacking for a short period of time. A Dark Panther summon is also available, which attacks quickly and efficiently to assist the Dark Avenger in battle. Powerful attacks are limited, however defense is a key feature of the Dark Avenger.

Paladin - a tank class which uses swords and blunt weapons as well as heavy armor, and carries a shield. Powerful self-healing skills are available to the Paladin, as well as shield stun skills identical to the Dark Avenger's. A key aspect of the Paladin is its superior ability to fight undead monsters with sacred power.

Warlord - a warrior class which uses spears to attack, and even knock down, multiple enemies at once. heavy armor and light armor can both be used, as well as thunder and wind attacks. area of effect spells also affect multiple enemies in the area, and the Warlord is fully equipped with plenty of HP. Very useful for castle sieges to attack multiple enemies at once on the front lines.

Gladiator - a very powerful warrior class which uses swords and blunt weapons and has dual weilding capabilities. choice of mastries between light and heavy armor. the Gladiator has many fast attacks that deal plenty of damage, as well as having several medium ranged attacks. the Gladiator can detect the weaknesses of enemies and do more damage with its attacks, and is quite possibly the best class in the game for 1 on 1 PvP and PvE. Very useful in groups as well, as the high damage output and speed of the attacks is a viable skill of the Gladiator.

Treasure Hunter - a dagger-using assassin class, like its counterpart Plain and Abyss Walkers. Both critical chance and critical power are boosted for this class, yet it is slower than its Elven and Dark Elven cousins. Self-haste skills (both active and passive) assist the Treasure Hunter, and it has powerful aggression control skills, as well as unlock skills. The treasure hunter focuses on speed and power of attacks, but has lower accuracy and lower defense. the Treasure Hunter does, however, have the advantage of higher HP than the other assassin classes.

Hawkeye - an archer class who specializes in bows and light armor, and sacrifices defensive abilities for evasion tactics. powerful attacks and self-haste buffs make this class useful, but it does not nearly compare to its Elven and Dark Elven counterparts (Silver and Phantom Rangers). It does have the advantage of higher HP, however it lacks in speed.

Sorcerer - a very powerful robe-wearing nuker class who focuses on using fire attacks and can put the enemies to sleep. a very strong mage class with more HP and survivability than the Elven and Dark Elven counterparts.

Necromancer - a summoner class who wears robes, focuses on summoning servitors and confusion of the enemy to make it fearful or alter its attack target. the necromancer can also put enemies to sleep, summon poisonous clouds to affect multiple enemies, and steal HP from corpses.

Warlock - a summoning class who calls upon funny looking cat-like things to assist him in battle. just as the Phantom and Elemental Summoners, it can heal and buff its servitors (read above). both light armor and robes are available to the Warlock.

Bishop - a powerful healing and buffing class who also possesses the capability of putting enemies to sleep and eliminate their will to attack, or make them fearful and run from battle, or not want to attack at all. powerful against undead monsters, both light armor and robe mastry are granted to this class.

Prophet - a powerful magic class that has heavy armor, light armor, or robes available to him. both offensive and defensive buffs, as well as group heals are the Prophet's specialty, and it has buffs for just about everything. very desireable in sieges and boss raids.
