Class Guide

The following is a class guide for Lineage 2 Revolution. There are a total of 24 individual classes spread across the four races in-game. The three base classes available to all races are Warrior, Rogue and Mystic. Upon reaching Lvl. 31, the Class Transfer Quest becomes available. Players must complete all 7 quests in order to transfer into a subclass. Each race has their own unique set of 6 sub-classes, each with unique skills and fight in their own specific ways.

Best Classes

While the choice of "best class" is super subjective, there are some classes that are better suited to certain roles than others. The table below breaks down the approximate rating of each class for suitability to each gameplay mechanic, and includes some notes as to why these classes are fit for the playstyles they are.

Humans

Name	Ease of Levelling	Dungeoning	PVP	Notes
Paladin	★★★★	★★★★	★★★★	The Paladin is very balanced, and has good attack and defense. He also has a lot of skills used primarily in control situations, which makes him quite effective in dungeons.
Warlord	★★★★	★★★	★★★★★	The Warlord has great level capability considering how much damage he can put out. Unfortunately, this comes with minimal ability to heal, which makes him a bad choice for dungeons. With a good support in PvP, he's extremely effective.
Treasure Hunter	★★★	★★★★	★★★	The Treasure Hunter is very fast and slippery, allowing for decent leveling and ok PvP when partnered with a tank. In terms of dungeons, the Treasure Hunter is better than you may think - though he has low health and middling attack, his ability to run means kiting is made much easier.
Hawkeye	★★★★★	★★	★★★	Hawkeye isn't very good in direct combat, but his critical strike is best used as part of a group to deal final damage or to harass large enemies.
Sorcerer	★★★★	★★★★	★★★	Having high damage is great for the Sorcerer who is trying to level and work in dungeons, but in PvP, the Sorcerer is going to be a prime target. While the Sorcerer can be useful in PvP situations, the requirements for both a tank and a healer make it hard to justify as a main.
Bishop	★★	★★	★★★★★	Bishop is fundamentally a support class. His attack isn't anything to write home about, which also makes leveling through grinding a chore, but when used in Fortress Siege, a Bishop can almost be the most important unit in the game.
