OK, so it's that time of the year so to speak – I need to make some choices. Where do I go with my orc shaman? Do I choose an Overlord? Or do I choose a Warcryer? I know the basic differences, but haven't played either before, so I'd appreciate some experienced input. Thanks.
Well, why don't you get a clue over here: http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Lineage_II/The_Player_Character_%28PC%29_Classes_and_Character_Guides#Orcs
Truth be told, that won't tell you much unless you already know what they're talking about… but it summarizes the point adequately, saying "WC are specialized party buffers" and "Overlords are a very specialized class not intended to be played alone. Unlike the warcryer, they can buff a whole alliance instead of just their own party."
