Lineage 2M Oracle Class Starter Guide: How to Build, Heal, and Grind Efficiently as a Support Main L2M Diamonds
Today we're diving into the Oracle class in Lineage 2M. If you've picked Oracle like many others-or you're still deciding-this is the ultimate starter guide to help you build your stats, choose your skills, and grind smarter all the way to level 45 and beyond. As of now, I'm already level 43 and pushing hard for level 45 to unlock that juicy epic skill.
Let's go through the essentials: from stat allocation to gear tips, and even the best grinding spots for solo or support play.
Why Oracle is One of the Most Popular Classes in Lineage 2M
Oracle is a support or healer class-and for good reason, it's one of the most versatile and beginner-friendly options in the game. You can:
Solo farm with solid survivability
Heal and sustain your entire party or clan
Be a valuable member in PvP, raids, and sieges
You don't need top-tier gear early on to be effective. That's what makes Oracle perfect for free-to-play players or low spenders.
Stat Build Guide: Intelligence vs Wisdom
The two core stats for Oracle are INT (Intelligence) and WIS (Wisdom). Let's break down their functions:
Intelligence (INT):
Increases magic damage, magic accuracy, critical hit, and skill defense
Useful for early progression, especially main quests and grinding
Ideal if you want to hybrid DPS as a healer
Pro Tip: Once your INT hits 35, you can stop investing in it unless you're aiming for a hybrid healer-DPS role.
Wisdom (WIS):
Increases MP pool, MP regen, skill resistance, and healing boost
Absolutely vital for full support builds
Your key to infinite healing and mana sustain
If you want to become a reliable full support Oracle, focus heavily on Wisdom after INT 35.
In my build, I went for INT 35, then everything into WIS. This gives me solid early-game damage and now I can heal non-stop without running out of mana-perfect for long grind sessions and boss fights.
Race Selection: Does It Matter for Oracle?
Short answer: Not really.
Oracle is available across multiple races, and while certain racial stats or animations might offer slight bonuses, they won't make or break your build.
Choose a race you enjoy visually or one that fits your roleplaying vibe. The stats and skills will carry your performance more than anything else.
Early Skills to Prioritize as Oracle
When starting out, you'll only have access to green (common) skills via NPCs. That's totally fine. Here's what I recommend grabbing early:
Aura Bolt-Basic attack skill
Fast Move-Self-buff for movement, cast, and attack speed
Wild Magic-Passive that enhances weapon damage
Heal-Your core sustain skill
Set this to auto-cast every 3 seconds for safety during grinding.
Might of Heaven-Second attack skill
Orb Mastery-Increases double damage chance
Great for boosting your DPS passively.
Optional but helpful:
Cure-Removes debuffs from party members. Important for raids and boss fights.
Once you unlock higher-grade skills, decide whether to pursue Aura Flash (DPS-focused) or Group Heal (full support). I personally chose Group Heal because it benefits the whole party and increases my value in raids and sieges.
Choosing Your Role: Full Support or Hybrid DPS?
This depends on your playstyle:
Full Support:
Maximize Wisdom
Prioritize healing and utility skills
Choose Group Heal as your first unique skill
Focus on MP regen and heal boost gear
Perfect for:
Clan play
PvE dungeons
PvP support roles
Hybrid DPS Support:
Lineage 2M Diamonds
Balance INT and WIS
Focus on Aura Flash as your first unique skill
Keep Heal as backup but invest more in damage skills
Ideal for players who want to solo grind faster but still have support potential
Whatever you choose, make sure you play a role your party or guild can rely on-that's the beauty of being a support.
Itemization: What Gear to Look For as an Oracle
Mana is your lifeline, so MP regen is the name of the game.
Look for gear with:
+Max MP
MP Recovery +X per tick
For example, gear that gives MP recovery tick +4 is a must-have for endless casting. Thanks to Oracle's naturally high mana pool, you won't run out easily if your stats and gear are aligned.
Pro Tip: You don't need expensive gear early on. Just prioritize mana sustain and safe enchantments (+1 to +3).Best Grinding Spots for Oracle
Oracle can grind anywhere, but here's how to choose your spot wisely:
Look for zones where:
Mobs die quickly (you don't waste time)
You're not overwhelmed by mob density
You still get decent XP and item drops
Here's my current farming spot:
Forest Areas-Great for fast kills and steady XP
Choose a location that matches your level so you don't overuse potions or burn mana too quickly
Save your favorite locations with the map bookmark. Use escape and teleport scrolls to return fast and efficiently.
Dungeon Recommendations: Where to Grind for XP and Loot
Dungeons offer controlled environments with better drop chances and consistent XP. Two dungeons stand out:
Chroma Tower
Great for EXP, gold, and item drops
Maximize your time here using time-boosting stones from the shop
Buy extra entries if you can afford them-worth every cent.
Devastated Castle
High EXP rates
Good for fast leveling
No gold drops, so use this when you're farming XP only
Closing Thoughts: Support Mains Unite
If you're playing Oracle with the intention to heal, support, and keep the squad alive, you're doing a massive service to your party and clan.
Your value doesn't come from flashy kills-it comes from:
Keeping your DPS alive
Reviving teammates in tough boss fights
Being the MVP no one notices until you're gone
If you're a solo grinder, Oracle also works as long as you build for mana sustain and decent damage early.
And if you're still unsure of your direction, start with a balanced build, then adapt depending on your playstyle.
