Silkroad Online Forums

OK I give up.Ive tried my best to find the character like and it seems quite hopeless.You all probably saw the past two polls I set in here, and neither of them has really worked for me.

So now I'm doing the opposite...which of the classes do YOU think fits my play style the best? heres what i like/am used to

1:Living huge amounts of time during an assault from multiple enemies.

2:Tide Turning. Something you could do to change the whole flow of battle in your teams favor during wars and stuff like that.

3:AOE. I LOVE hitting lots of enemies at once.This is probably the most important part of my play style.

Damage doesn't have to be magnificent or even good....in fact, i don't want to be the best i just want to be decent at least.I'm used to hitting for low numbers,but living an insanely long amount of time while doing a little crowd control in between here and there.

Normally i liked warlords in Lineage 2,and silkroad is a GREAT game.

I'd love it if there was a class like it....stunned 20+ people during a siege there and it won us a castle...was the best feeling in the world and its hard to let go of a class capable of doing something like that.

So can anyone recommend something on silkroad very near similar to that?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

A 2:1 Hybrid Warlock.

well, a blader would fit ur description of your play style of 2/3.

Blader is probaly the best tanker and a pretty decent aoe with petal sword. But they are hardly the tide turner you want.

any more suggestions?I just found out a new servers coming out later...lucky me

From what i see, most dual axers skills are aoe and they might be a little fun to play again....question is, can they stand up a lot of enemy attacks?

I would like encouragement to play other chars that meet my standards as well so keep the comments coming! Im lovin'em ^^

they r european so not really they might tank for a while but with pot delay it would be pretty hard

Maybe you want to try out euro 1 handed sword shield, the damage is abit better than chinese blader, able to tank, able to solo giants without the help of party members, so you expect high survivability in war or uniques.

unless u hav a lot of bladers in ur guild =D
one KD, everyone comes and stab
total pwnage!!!

Its not possible to hit more than 5 people at once with any class AFAIK. What do you think of pure STR Glaive? Several AoE Attacks, Good tanking ability, Decent damage. Going Pure STR gives you a lot of HP which means when you zerk you should be able to stay alive the whole time and kill several people.

prrshhh i know the perfect build for you. =]

pure int s/s cold/light nuker.

with a shield and your ice manaa shield you can talk pretty damn well.
you can use ice and lightning nukes to kill multiple enemys and still tank pretty well.
your shield provides blocking while your manaa shield covers for your lack of hp.
my cousin's a s/s light/cold nuker and he can kill me anyday
..well for now atleast until i get to 76 and knock/stun his ass.
but yeah.. try this build out and hope you have fun. =D
-on the downside.. you're going to have to farm a shit load.

Post is Long...Sry xD I want to add pictures so it'll be more fun to read...but....NAH lets do it this way :p

But anyway, all of them sound great!Ok, so i cant get a class like the one in silkroad and thats sad so ill slap down what i think so far:

Blader : Fits 2/3 of the description.

-Survivability--Lives a great amounts of time vs several enemies(possibly forever),and can aoe a bit.

-AoE--The AoEs aren't joymaxingly (hehe crummy joke) effective but they are decent(the knockdown if you catch 3 ppl stand really close)

-Turnin Tables--Its not too effective in Tide Turning due to the low chance that you'll actually find enemies standing that close to each other.

SO

Great Tanker/Has Aoe/Low chance of Tide...turn
_______________________________

Bow:Fits 2/3 of the description.

-Survivability--Their survivability is arguable since they are ranged,and if they maintain that range, they can probably be effective against some melee attackers.On top of that they can obliterate any ints that are also attacking from range.

-AoE--Has some nice AoE skills that hit up to 4 people and does good damage

-Table Turnin--Tide Turn By simply picking them off!Nice skills that crit and do 'double cheeseburger' whopper damage.

SO

Ranged,but arguable survivability,so I didn't count it/Has nice AoE that hit up to 4 enemies/Tide Turn By Sniping
_______________________________________________
2:1 Hybrid Warlock: Sounds like it fits 2/3 of the description.

-Survivability--They Survive pretty well thanks to that drain + the shield,and with a warrior sub for the one hand lord they can avoid crits,block,and shield thrash any melee that happens to get close.However,they are an int heavy class,plus their probably the most annoying class in the game which cause ppl to turn on their 'nuker scan' so it shares an arguable lifespan with a bow user...and a mage.

-AoE--LOTS of AoE at higher lvls which seem very effective.

-Table Turnin--Thanks to those AoEs, it might be able to tide turn easily because the enemies are weakened so badly.

SO

Survivability is a bit questionable so it wasn't added/Great AoE/Tide Turn For Teh Team!

______________________

Dual Axe Euro :Fits 2/3 of the description(hey who doesn't?)

-Survivability--Seems like they wont live THAT long due to the pot delay,but they have vital increase which increases health by a good amount,and the have iron and mana skin which can be used depending on the situation.Unfortunately you wont always be able to pull these off.

-AoE--Pretty decent!Almost all the moves that they DO have are AoE,but like all other euro warriors they share a very limited amount of skills(attack type).Like bladers, its rare that you find 3 melees hitting you upclose,but even if it did happen, unlike bladers, you wont be able to live through it unless you have on iron skin.But like i mentioned before it wont always be there for you.

-Table Turnin--Possibly good since you have an AoE stun,but you might not live long enough to pull it off.

SO

Decent Survivability/Nice AoE/Unknown Tide turning
____________________________________
1 Hand Euro:Fits 2/3 of the description(yawn)

-Survivability--Vital Increase,very Hp,and a shield.Need I say more?Well yeah...theres the pot delay(of COURSE)

-AoE--Only 2 aoes...but its good.Its funny to watch enemies slide back and get stuck on a tree of something occasionally.

-Table Turnin--Aside from dulling enemies who will easily recover later,its not what i was hoping for.

SO

Nice Survivability/Fun AoEs/Not so good on Tide Turning(I kinda hate the words table/tide and turning in a sentence now >.<)
__________________________________
Glaive:Fits 2/3 of the description.(really close to 3)

-Suvivability--Seems very high thanks to high hp and no pot delay.

-AoE--LOTS of AoE attacks.In Fact,Id say this one IS a warlord if only it hit more than 5 ppl at once T.T So close to being ideal.Plus alot of ppl say their skills are boring to look at which kinda cripples the fun in it.Yeah,Warlords on L2 were the same way,but being able to stun an infinite amount of ppl made up for that too easily.

-Table Turnin--Almost the same as a Bow.Simply Obliterate anyone in your path and it will turn tides and bust heads.However,getting that close kinda puts your life in danger...but hey...nothing like getting a little adrenaline from doing it anyway!

SO

Good Survivability/Awesome AoE/Tide turning is a little arguable since you might get targeted,hear some gun clicks, and blackout before you get close.Also,the fun factor is reduced alittle since there are so many ppl playing them,on top of skills that have been said to get old fast.
________________________________
Pure int s/s Cold/Light:Fits 3/3 of the description(!!!!!!)

-Survivability--Shield,blader type skill that give you extra defense/block rate,and your Naruku barrier...um....Mana Tank.Makes you have goodish survivabilty.Have a few concerns tho.Seeing low hp kinda irritates me,and the simple fact that your a nuker will cause everyone to target you.

-AoE-- Choices,choices.Decent amount of AoE nukes to whoop you enemies with.Not to mention when the cap rises you'll have some of the best looking skills in the game.

-Tide Turning--Like a bow user.Point,Click,and Fire.Simply snapping them like twigs will bring the enemies morale to its knees.

SO

Arguable Survivability,However due to having a shield, some blader defense skills,and mana for yet another shield...It Theoretically makes them seem to have great lifetime/AoEs look really cool which adds some fun to using them/Tide Turning is pretty decent,tho its not too high,its high enough.Fun Factor is a little on

Wait...how did this build get a 3/3? Just barely.I'm still thinking about the survival part and i just simply chose that it was decent due to all its defense capabilities.its actually quite close to the glavie.Fun Factor is a little sucky tho thanks to all the sp farming that has to be done....I think we all hate sp farming
______________________________________

All this said that classes come too close for me to tell and theres only one grand ultimatum question remaining.

WHICH will be the most FUN at end game?

id go pure str bow...just cause there fun....powerful...and got a variety of differnt looks when attacking...there just fun to grind on and pvp with...

omg, today seems the perfect day to advertise my hybrid build >.<

hybrid s/s will suffice for all your needs.

1. You can tank multiple people because you are a hybrid int, so you have good hp, good defense, and you use a shield, gives better defens,e and BR, plus using a snow shield. Not as good of a tanker as a pure str blader or glaiver, but you can defanelty hold your own against multiple non suns.

2. nukers most defanatly turn the tide of battle. While your bladers / glaivers friends are fihgting, you ghost walk out and shoot off a few high powered nukes, suddenly everyone is dropping dead.

3. Nukes have awsome AOE damage, plus using bicheon skills, you still have all the AOE perks of a blader like petal sword and typhoon sword.

Either a hybrid nuker, or a glaiver, both are fun, but i dont have a guide for glaiver =D *looks to siggy* theres something for a nuker though =)

Edit: pure int is an option, but tend to die raher fast to a few well placed crits, even with snow shield up.

Why would you go 2:1 warlock? Do you also go 2:1 Rogue???

i think he was being sarcastic. or i hope he was...

I took it a little seriously seeing as ppl say that most of their skills don't depend on int like all the rest of the mages.

He probably was tho

I have very special build for you .. I think it will be better than your dreams ..

I think full SRT rogue / cleric with light armor will be the best choose ever :



As a pure str build you have tons of HP and cleric have a shield that mean br , and more def ... cleric have 2 passives for light armor that increase mag and phy def ... and you can use all healing skills the cleric have and at last you can hace a 45 sec of super def every 3 minutes .. Now I can tank 2 and 3 ppl higher than me with +3 ~ +5 lvls without any problem .. tank 3~4 party gaints , and tank 6~7 general monsters.. all this and I haven't my cleric mastery at max and don't have all new skills .. lol



yeah you can turn everything .. cast healing cycle on your self and bless spell then offer .. you will do great damge to all the enemies around and you will lose 95% of your HP .. healing cycle + vigor pot will bring the Hp back again as all enemies are dead or almost dead ...

you have also other choose .. switch to dagger and use scud skill .. means be the fastetst thing ever in game in 15 sec .. go out of the battle and bring your crossbow .. use extreme bow and you will snipe everything from far range ... KD , KB , crit and you make everything change

you can turn everthing also as a cleric .. you will heal all your party , res them all , give them super def , give them super + STR + INT , prevent curses and weaking .. you are a paladin



you will have AOE later in high lvls .. both clerics and rouges have AOE .. wizards really have perfect AOE .. but they are pure int and they die in 1 ~ 2 shots .. you can go pure int wizard with cleric but you will not survive a lot even with shield ... so you can wait to be high lvl enough to have your AOE
..



that's not in the build .. you switch to rouge and use extreme bow and you will do the most damge on the game after wizards ... you crit will be the most damge ever .. and if you see something wrong going on cancel your extreme bow and back to normal pure str build that can life longer .. if the things go worst switch to cleric and bless spell after healing and you have super def make till you kill the threads ..

when I was lvl 39 I was training in lvl 50 mobs and kill them before they can touch me ... xD

bow character ftw...there just fun to mess around on/grind and pvp with...plus at higher lvl..a bow in pvp is so annying with the new skills..cause if used right its hard for them t even be able to attack u with stun and KB

I see you've played a dual axe user....would you prefer a bow over those?

and would anyone else go euro warriors over chinese bow?
