Equipment Interlude

Equipment priorities by class and activity

Check masteries and the intended role before choosing a set or weapon SA.

L2Tools guideUpdated 2026-09-13

Physical attackers

Read the class’s actual weapon masteries and combat skills first. Compare damage, attack speed and critical bonuses for the chosen weapon and activity; an auto-attack bonus does not automatically improve every physical skill.

Tanks and front-line support

Check heavy/light armor mastery, shield skills and survival requirements. An optional shield bonus must not be counted with a two-handed weapon or without the required shield. Resistances can matter more than base defense for the intended opponents.

Healers and magical support

Compare cast responsiveness, mana sustain and survival using the actual class skills and set effects. A nuker’s damage-oriented INT tradeoff is not automatically the best healing or support investment.

Summoners and unusual weapon paths

Confirm whether the owner is casting, fighting physically or supporting a summon. Verify which stats affect the summon before valuing an owner weapon upgrade for pet damage. For specialized class weapons, read the exact mastery and item restrictions.

Keep in mind

These are decision criteria, not one fixed build per class.
Use real class skill levels, item descriptions and full set requirements. Missing data does not prove the class cannot use an option.
Local market costs and existing gear can make keeping a useful lower-grade set the sensible economical route.
