We got some different DPS classes in L2.
Mage's are obviously great dps but are pretty squishy. They often got loads of de-buffs and weaken skills which makes them really usefull for pvp party's.

Archers has the most steady dps and makes for great pvp party's. Relays on good main targeting and everyone being able to assist.

Daggers have really high burst damage with backstab and other blows, really good for knocking out healers but is hard to keep up as a healer for cause they run so fast and easily get out of heal range.

Then there are tank's and other hybrid dps classes such as Gladiators/Tyrants/Titans/warlord and of course tanks which can fill more purposes then just pure dps. Tanks usually have "cubics" heals and great debuffs. All which are nice to have in addition to a normal pure dps party.

Interesting. What do the hybrid DPS classes have as their secondary? Like I said, I've never really done any MMO PvP before, so while I understand the basic function of some of the different roles, every game is unique in how its PvP really plays out, and I'm not sure which class I'd have the most fun with.

I'm used to playing stuff like WoW and all sorts of other MMOs, but I've almost always solo'd my way through PvE, which is a completely different approach than PvP. Especially the fact that I was basically always soloing everything. You had to make yourself as survivable as possible, and everything else was secondary.

is this server going to have donation items?

I've played retail and on a few private servers. I got tired of people running around with pink weapons

Seeing that this is a high rate server, are there any spots we should farm, control... do?

Archers are the easiest and simplest class to play for being effective in a group fight. Long as you can coordinate with other archers. They are also the most gear/buff dependent as they rely on crit procs to out damage healers.

Dark elf archer has the highest burst which scales to insane levels with gear (this is very important in killing healers) but also the squishiest, human archers tend to be the tanky and deal very good damage but they are rather slow and their dps skill root them, the elf archer is the best 1v1 character as they are the fastest (they will just kite you forever) but they have lower damage so its less effective in a team fight.

Healers, they are the highest skill class to play in pvp. Whether your group wins a small to medium group fight completely depend on a good bishop. The difference between a good healer is day and night. They can cleanse debuffs, they get a small invul to save whoever is the target of focus, and if they get nobless they can revive + nobless buff and keep people going forever.

Mages, Tank, Hybrid dps are all pretty tricky classes for private servers. They tend to be very strong in low-med gear servers (especially mages) but they can be useless if the server has high enchant rates and if they dont allow cancels (spells that remove buffs, people tend to whine about this and lot of bad servers remove them)

Generally they dont scale well as daggers/archers with gear, in terms of damage. Also, the debuff land rate depends on how enchanted the enemy ring/earring/necklace is, which makes them weaker as gears get more enchanted. But since we have no information on enchant rates we'll have to wait and see.

But as someone said pvp in this game is all buffs and removing an acumen (casting speed buff) and then landing a paralyze is ultimately what will bring down a good healer.
