Healers in Lineage 2: Bishop, Elven Elder and Shillien Elder
The healer is the most scarce role on any server. There are a lot of fighters and magicians, but it’s difficult to find a person who knows how to keep the whole group alive: that’s why they take a healer into a party and a clan almost without talking.
- The healer heals, resurrects and removes weakening - raids cannot proceed without him.
- Cardinal heals the most powerfully, Eva's Saint is faster, Shillien Saint is useful with debuffs.
- The healer almost never farms alone: his strength manifests itself in a group.
- In PvP, the healer is the first target, so survivability is more important than damage.
What does a healer do?
The classic healer set includes healing one character and the entire group, resurrecting the fallen and removing weakening. In a battle with a raid boss, the healer works according to the following scheme: he monitors the health of the tank, his own mana reserve and the state of the group. An error in healing drops the tank, and with it the entire raid - so the role is considered responsible.
Cardinal - man
Bishop Development: The most powerful healer in the game. Heals stronger and restores the group faster than anyone else, knows how to resurrect and remove effects. Cardinal is a mandatory participant in raids against epic bosses and sieges: where the damage is continuous, no one can replace its healing.
Eva's Saint - light elf
Development of Elven Elder: fast and agile healer. He has a higher casting speed and has a skill that returns the group to the city - during sieges and long-distance forays, this saves the raid from wasting time. He heals a little at a time, but succeeds where Cardinal fails.
Shillien Saint - dark elf
Shillien Elder Evolution: A healer with a focus on support and debuff. Heals weaker than a person, but knows how to strengthen a group and hinder the enemy. Often plays as a second healer in a raid or replaces support where there are not enough buffers.
How does a doctor make money?
- Group buffing and healing: clans and parties take a healer to bosses and farming zones.
- Selling buffs in the city - on many servers this is a stable income for the healer and buffer.
- Participation in sieges and epic bosses: successful battles are usually paid with a share of the loot.
- Crafting and trading: the healer has a lot of free time in the cities.
What to download for a doctor
- Rob and an increase in mana reserve: without mana, a healer ceases to exist.
- Casting speed and mana recovery are the two main indicators.
- Survivability: It is wise to add protection from physical damage, because in PvP you are the one who gets hit.
- The supply of cans for mana and items for resurrection depends on the situation and the server rules.
Disadvantages you should be prepared for
The healer almost never plays alone: the damage is low, and it takes a long time to kill mobs. But in the group you become the right person to be reckoned with. In PvP, the healer is taken out first, so you have to play on defense: keep your distance, hide behind the tank and not be exposed to control.
Questions and answers
What is the best healer in Lineage 2?
In terms of healing power - Cardinal, in terms of speed and group support - Eva's Saint, in terms of weakening and flexibility - Shillien Saint. In epic boss raids, Cardinal is usually needed.
Is it possible to play as a healer alone?
It’s possible, but it’s harder than any other class: the damage is low, farming is slow. It is more practical to find a permanent group or clan - everyone needs a doctor, and they will take you quickly.
Does a doctor need an expensive weapon?
No. The priority is a robe with a bonus to mana and casting speed, and a weapon is as important as it gives this bonus. It is not profitable for a healer to invest in damage.
