OP should trudge through leveling a lancer solo 92% of the time. Limited skill rotation with mediocre damage? Yum.


No way man, i tear [filtered] up on my lancer :) Priest does kill (minion groups) faster, but then again, I can solo bams on my lancer in a fairly timely fashion, something i cannot do on my priest.
Priest seems pretty decent to me for solo questing, but when it comes to killing BAMS, its excruciating. The only class slower, in my experience, is Mystic. Even lancer is fast by comparison.

Dontos, it isn't a cooldown problem. The animation starts to fire, and stops, you get smacked. The animation fires, it looks like you are blocking, you get smacked (not blowthrough, but regular damage)

I tested this out of a fight and shield block works every time. I tested this solo against a slow hitting low level bam, and it had this issue. I would block and sometimes stand fast just would not fire, or fired very sluggishly.


Yea, this is definitely not a cooldown issue. I'm experiencing the same as above: out of combat I can hit my block hotkey and it drops into block stance 100% of the time. During combat, however, it starts the animation and then stops about halfway through and doesn't block anything, and this is has been happening consistently for the last two days.

numerous times, i would shield counter, and low and behold, Right click....nothing....right click...nothing. can use any other skill, but SF. sometimes its delayed, sometimes, just downright refuses to go up, or it will look like its up and ill still take normal damage...try and move while it looks like its up, and i cant move(obviously cant move while SF is up) but still take damage.



I'm having the exact same problem. Makes playing a lancer very, very frustrating right now.
I don't think this is a latency issue. I've also noticed this for the last two days, but I've tested it repeatedly out of combat, and block comes up instantly and stays there everytime I push and hold my block button. Once I get in combat, however, it doesn't work, almost consistently. I push block and it starts to fire the animation then stops, and I take full damage. This happened repeatedly fighting the BAMS in tenebrous tonight, I couldn't block anything. Once it was dead and I was out of combat, block would work every single time, no hesitation, no missed animations...I'd push the button and go into block stance 100% of the time.

not sure what the problem is, but its making it hard as hell for me to tank.

What it boils down to is that people who start these threads think that everyclass should be just like EVERY OTHER CLASS! If that was the case this game would be crap. I like the fact that im different, the fact that i have to try harder to get where i need to go. If you don't like the Mystic then don't play it.


I don't think so. I don't think its too much to ask for increased leveling speed on mystics, because as it stands, its boring and slow. On my slayer, i can solo any quest, any bam I want, quickly, efficiently, and with no downtime. On my mystic, I gave up soloing bams, because I don't have a lifetime to waste on it. Warriors, sorcs, zerks, archers can all solo just fine without needing a healer, hell even lancers can kill a bam in about half the time it takes a mystic.
I miss my phantom summoner. Still the best summoner classes of any game i've ever played.
Leveling normal quests as a mystic isn't hard or even all that time consuming. Its when you have to solo kill a bam that you really feel it. If you plan on solo killing a BAM as a mystic, you'd better have your secretary cancel all appointments for the rest of the day.
I still think that NCSoft made a huge mistake with Lineage 2....L2 could have been a massive cash cow in the west if they had just tailored it for the western market. The graphics and character models were light years ahead of every other mmo out at the time...it released within a couple months of WoW ffs, and graphically it still puts some newer games to shame. It had the best mass pvp / siege warfare of any pvp mmo i've ever played, hands down, the classes were creative and different...it was just all around a pretty bad [filtered] game. And NC Soft dropped the ball.

Their refusal to tailor it to the western market and their refusal to do anything about the massive bot infestation pretty much relegated L2 to being a low pop mmo from the word go.

Makes me sad.

WoW stole everything from Gary Gygax. Damn you Dungeons and Dragons for being so influential


Yeah, but Gary Gygax stole everything from J.R.R. Tolkien. Damn you Tolkien for being so influential!


And Tolkien was heavily influenced by Robert E Howard.


But on the topic of WoW, I always get a kick out of this:

WoW's lore is Warhammer lore with different names.
WoW's UI is Asheron Call's UI.
Pretty much every single game mechanic WoW had in it at launch came from EQ and AO.

And, speaking of ripping off....Skillmare, aren't you the one that tried to post pictures of some goth model in the RL picture thread for VoT and claim they were you..Bryana Holly or something like that.
