Hey, I want to level a shilian elder, and Ive gotten myself as far as level 25, but right now the leveling is stagnating fast. I dont do much damage and I wont get any new damage skills as far as I know, but looking around on the net I cant realy find a good se leveling guide, I dont realy know what areas I should be going to for parties either (since it realy is a party class, which is the reason I want to level it). Anyone got any helpful tips with this or know a good place to look for SE info? (Couldnt find any previous posts about this, so I guesse it just isnt a popular class)

i wouldnt say its an unpopular class. its just most people prefer to play DD as they tend to be a bit more interesting. good places for an SE to lvl at your lvl would be the dion area. you should find plenty of parties in execution ground or even better in the cata and necro up there.

if you need to solo i would also suggest the execution grounds or orc baracks.

but for a party class you might also want to look into the swordsinger and bladedancer classes. both of them are suport classes with wanted party buffs. a slight problem of the SE is that as a pure healer an EE and Bishop are better and for high lvl buffers most people prefer WC. So the SE has lost a bit of its apeal to players in general. but its still a wanted party member.

Catas and necros are the single best place for an SE to level unless you can find a duo with a good spellhowler.

Melee parties are always looking for SE in catas, because VR is basically the single most important buff down there.

*double post =/*

Allright, but how do I know which necro/cata to go at which level?

Necropolis of Sacrifice=lvl 20-30
Catacomb of the Heretic and Pilgrims Necropolis= lvl 30-40
Catacomb of the Branded and Necro of Worship(necro of worship is deserted)= lvl 40-50
Catacomb of the Apostate and Necropolis and Patriots Necropolis=lvl 50-60
Catacomb of the Witch and Necropolis of Devotion= lvl 60-70
Catacomb of the Forbidden Path=70+

Dark Omens, Disciples, Martyrs and Saints Necro fit in there somewhere i just dont remember.

This is all available at Lineage2.com, under knowledge, click seven signs.

At lvl 25 you can go lvl up using the "disrupt undead" in Ruins of Agony and then after lvl 30 go to Execution grounds (east of dion) and go up the stairs at Neer Goul.. then after a few lvls go down and kill trees, zombies and strains...

SE is a niceclass cos ppl will need you in party (especially nukers) you can also sell buffs.. but remember you can't kill anything after lvl 40 so you'll always have to find party or duo.. not that hard actually.
