hello guys. i'm looking forward to return to the game after 5-6 years (not counting a brief and unpleasant experience at ncwest) and i have some questions about the tyrr dreadnought class (and others if i may ). nb: i looked for info in the l2 wiki, this forum and other forums, but it was inexistent or incomplete. if i'll ask about an already discussed matter, pleas forgive me! 1: i'm looking for a class to play in a very inconsistent and undedicated way, which i think means a lot of solo and rare parties. is the dread still a class that holds it's own in solo pve? can he solo at high levels? can any class solo at high levels? 2: do parties include dreadnoughts? is it still usefull in some circumstances at least? 3: from what i saw there is no path to awakening or simil things on this server. can you still gear up while you exp or is there a risk to arrive at high levels naked or almost? 4: from what i unerstand tyrrs are not very popular for raids. i sure don't think the dread is. so i was thinking to sub/dual a dd class (as i don't like the responsability of tanks and healers... i know, i'm a lazy ****). which class is the most 'demanded'? which one is 'avoided'? 5 and last: why in the world is there no health sa on the high grade spears? i mean: isn't this the class that take quite a big amount of punishment form pve? thank you all in advance. uh!
1. well for example u can solo with dread on stronghold 2 for some nice xp at lvl89+ with out-of-party iss buffs. im not sure what u mean with high lvls..if post-awakened or 97+. i read only2 forums that u can solo in pagan at 97+ aswell, but i never tried nor know what amount of gear woudl take 2. sure, its a great puller as it takes provoke from start with nice range, i think its the best class for guilotine fortress xp and seed of hellfire xp( a lot of room to take mobs). 9seconds stuns are a fine addition combined with snares from nukers 3. u have the steel coin system, u get coin rewards from quests over 40 which u start in aligator island, and on adventure guild npc u can exchange for c-b-a-s grade gear along the way. 4. actually i think stuns land on minions, and if u can keep them on perma-stun it helps a lot to kill the raid faster and easier but i dont think ppl might take this into count (if the stun even lands that is).. wynn/dagger are on demand, i guess tyrrs except for titan would be avoided and nukers are not wanted in large numbers either. 5.who knows!! it is quite..ironic, that dreadnaught is a class that go in frontlines and disable but lacks a survivility sa on r+ and all those sas are only "good" (aka bleeeeeeeeeeh) for pve.
thank you! 1: i only played up to 78, so whatever comes after for me is high levels 3: is there guide anywhere to see where and when you can do those quests? forgot to ask: even without the pta, the mentoring is still available? thou i'm not sure that someone will be interested in a lazy player like me :d 4: i'm unsure whether to take othell or yul. but i guess there will plenty of time to decide that. from what i understood you keep your racial basic stats for the dual class, which kinda ****s for me (i would rather have de stats for those classes (maybe it's a noob talk...)). 5: there was a time when the dread was the second or third biggest wall of hp... but times are a-changin [cit.] thank you very much again, yunalesca. one more question: is the combo dread-fortune seeker still worth doing? i remember that i farmed that way with a friend long ago and we were by far not the richest player in the game but we could at least gear up decently while exping (which was already a lot for someone without a clan in lineage :d )
for the kekropus (steel door coins quests series) : http://boards.lineage2.com/showpost.php?p=3335684&postcount=28 about mentor, it is available even with or without pa. it will gives you +50% xp / sp buff when mentor is on, and both requiem weapon (low-r grade weapon) / immortal armor set (low-r grade armor) when you awaken at 85. fortune seeker is the weakest othell in pvp, and in current chronicle spoil/craft is slowly coming back (was useless in previous). but don't expect gearing you up only with spoil :d
