Tips for Interlude players / Info on most class combos.

[Clonage]

For returning/new Interlude players:

TL;DR - Just fuking read.

Song of Wind storm and Chant of Protection were added in Kamael/Hellbound chronicle to balance out fighters damage. If you played an archer in interlude and you're thinking on making an Archer in HB please have in mind that Archers are the most dependent DPS class which means you CANNOT play alone. You will need other people to support you. Stuff that other characters do to help you deal more damage: Most important Debuff is Real Target from Trickster. Other usefull debuffs: Steal Divinity from Soulhound(RNG based, pray it takes a p def buff or windstorm), Hex Spell or Cubics, Violent Temper from Zerker(does NOT stack with Hex, better version of Hex, higher land rate and takes cast speed from target aswell), Shield Block from Prophet, Bishop or Shilien elder. Attack speed Buffs: Warrior Ability Haste, fighters will(only activates if you hit with melee weapon), Flame Icon and Counter Rapid shot(has minimum damage to proc, arround 30 or 50. Hit the SR with feline queen + shots or with C grade fists+SA haste+shots).
Archers are NOT bad. They just need a bit teamwork to be effective.

Learn how attribute system works! It's the easiest formula in game X-Y=Z%DMG increase. Just because you have 10 30 or 60 resist does not mean you will take less damage! Enchanting a physical skill on attribute will make that skill use the attr from your weapon. Most magical skills have 20 base attribute which means you don't need to enchant your nuke to +1 to activate you weapons attr on the skill. Damage is increased(or not) depending on your attr attack vs targets attr defense. Damage increase is NOT linear: http://www.lineage2universe.com/images/attribute-system/attribute-system-breakpoints-pre-freya.png
Also if you are a nuker you will need to enchant nukes or they will be resisted(half damage) all the time because of level difference(Magic level of skill vs target level). This also is applied to Recharge.

If you are a nuker/summoner NEVER play as summoner stats, your summon will steal 80% of your weapons attribute.

Get Protection of Rune and Protection of Elemental ASAP!

Archers
--------------------

HE/Glad - Versatile. Can be used as Archer or Glad. You can switch playstyles during pvp and complement that playstyle with buffs from the other class. Glad will gain Blessing of Saggitarius -20% skill re-use, HE will gain War Cry and Duelist Spirit(Enchant type 2 Power Increases general/skill attack damage when in PVP up to 25% at +30). Vs tanks you might want to use duals.
HE/Warlord - Also pretty versatile. More PvE Oriented, his damage is insane in PvE with Bow + Detect Weakness buffs. Also Focus attack gives 15% critical damage to all weapons(Pole 30%). When it comes to PvP i haven't compared dmg between HE/WL & HE/Glad so i can't say which one hits harder in PvP but HE/WL hits hard .
Trick/Zerk - One of the best characters in game. Windstorm has xbow resist now, dmg was reduced but this character brings alot of utility to a party: Debuffs, prahnah, self defense abilities, stun, disarms, etc. Must have in archer party!
SR/SWS - Same as trick/zerk, 2 much utility to skip. Counter rapid shot and Defensive songs will make your party alot harder to kill.
Trick/Slh - Less party utility and totally different skill set. If you play trick/slh as archer you will love stealing buffs from other fighters! If you like to kill your enemies slowly you can play as mage. Blink in, Steal divinity, blink out, repeat untill your target bsoes or rages in shout. ecks dee

HE/Pal - Brings utility to self/party(Flame icon, Shield of Faith, ...).
PR/xx - SK(increased critical dmg with pain of shilen), PS(just because of mass cubic, usefull in fighter pt, need to enchant on + power tho) or BD(there's better classes to combo with BD).
SR/TK - Not much to say. Brings some utility to party and to yourself. UDs, Counter rapid shot.

HE/WK - Only gives you Transfer pain and cat buff. Let bishop go WK or box buffer/wk. Weapon Mastery does not give P atk and Armor mastery doesnt give cast/atk speed.
HE/PP - Olympiad character, nothing special tbh...
___________________



Melee
-------------------

Zerk/trick - stun stun stun utility bla bla bla prahnah.
Zerk/slh - Stun stun stun mass paralyse, steals buffs bla bla bla.
AW/SK -  Cancel and debuff fiesta + uber damagez
Glad/HE - Stated above in archer section.
TH/WL or Glad - High HP high dps. Kinda like a Bruiser. TH is probably best sub for WL when it comes to making trains. Why? Critical Chance, Critical Damage and boost attack speed passive + dash.

TY/DE - PvE Monster, Played better as tyrant. Frenzy gives 30% p atk with fists. Not so good for open world PvP, but if you are allowed to turn on skills + barrier GG.
PW/TK - High dmg High survivability.
Th/pal - Good especially if you are the only paladin in party.
Pal/WL - Tanky as hell but low dps. Pretty good for CC, lack movement speed outside of AI or Flame icon.
PW/SWS - Good in oly. Good for small/ganking groups. There's better sws combos tho.
SK/BD - Tbh super underestimated character, CC Cancel(TOD + Touch of Shilen) Debuff fiesta. Medusa land rate is high and low cd. But probably only usable in melee pt since 80%+(? random number) characters in substack are ranged.
Glad/pal - Not so bad not so good. Classes dont synergize very well, but paladin always adds good utility and self defense buffs.

PR/BD - okish in archer party if there's only sr sws, 1 trick and 1 HE/xx.
AW/BD - Not sure what to say about this one...
TH, Glad, Pal/PP - Really strong oly char but only before everyone starts to get level 80 enchanter transformation for CoV.
TK/sws - Oly char. Meh outside oly. Low dps High survivability. Other combos can provide the same as tk/sws but better.
aw/ps - Probably best melee/summoner. Mass cubic stronk vs other fighters and summon hits hard af.

Mages
--------------------
Sh/sk - Hits hard, good for high burst, aoe cancel hmmm yummy.
Sps/tk - Hits fast and crits alot + tank skills. Eva's will nice vs mages.
Necro/tank - Well... Tank skills + tp and it nukes so yea. Best tank ingame imo. Even from all the fighter classes.
sorc/wk - Best sorc combo imo. Strong utility. If target is on Ud's you still have work to do, banes, cancel etc.

Sorc/Pal - Good overall. There's better nuker/tank combos imo.
sps/es - Cancel bot.
sh/ps - Hits hard but uses insane amount of mana, Arcane power, Arcane agility, Empowering Echo all increase mana cost of skills... Prepare atleast 2 ee just for you. Kappa or Not Kappa?

Necro/pp - Really good for 1v1s. Necro in general is a good mage to have atleast 1 in a clan. For mass pvp it helps with mass banes and for PvE Day of Doom is insane to help fighters kill raids(-50% pdef). Awesome for burning mana(Gloom).
Necro/bp - Same as above.
PS/SK - meh. Weaker version of necro/tank.

interlude style
sps ee - Good for PvE. Jack of all trades master of none.
sps sws - if no1 wants to play sws ee, better then not having SWS in party.
sh bd - if no1 wants to play bd se, better then not having BD in party.
_____________________



Supports
--------------------
OL/WC - Huge utility. Chant protection is important vs fighters(wc). Debuffs, CC, walking cp potion, buffs, CoV -Penalty. Must have in any PvE/PvP Group.
Bp/Pal - Really good for fighter pt. Also Ok for mage.
Bp/Wk - Also really good for fighter pt. Best (solo)BP for mage party, arcane agility, transfer pain and smart cubic ftw.
EE/ES- Most important support for mages. Recharge + Buffs + Unicorn + mana burn. And if you have another recharger/summoner in party you can recharge each other to create mana. Top oly char.
Bard/Oracle(sws/ee & bd/se) - So much utility, mana burn and mana bank for party.

SE/PS - Good in fighter partys. Best solo farmer from all the support/summoners.
EE/TK & SE/SK - If you want to play mage support and hate archers this is pretty nice to play

BP/Necro - There's very few situations where this combo is "good". If you are a solo player/play with small group or if your Mage CP wants a 2nd bp AND necro utility at the same time or if your clan really needs a necro.
pp/wk - Box / Oly char.

Forget about mutants not worth to play for PvP. Unless its something for PvE.

There's still some niche combos out there that are probably worth playing if it fits your playstyle. But in most hands it will most likely suck.

If you have any good tips pls reply so i can add

[Jardiro]

HE/Glad - Versatile. Can be used as Archer or Glad. You can switch playstyles during pvp and use skills of both classes.

actually from end game nukers, my favorites dps nukers are summoners. Don't agree that sh/ps is consuming to much mana, it all depend from user and way you play it. To start with, main goal of those nukers it's to drop enemy by one simple combo, sh will use vortex+slug, sps can go to holy skills or stay also with slug. Those summoners advantage is arcane agility which let them spam with those skills. Using both kind of attribute on this chars make them real beasts on pvp in right hands. About consuming mana on sh ps, just go on cost enchant on death spike, use body to mind, also sh require much more skills enchant
