Lineage 2 High Five Siege POV: Archmage at Exilium World
zzigfrid recorded a lineage 2 high five siege from the best seat in the house: an Archmage with a full mana bar and permission to rain fire. The footage comes from Exilium World's July 12 siege, and it doubles as a tutorial on what mage play is supposed to look like when a castle push goes right.
What an Archmage actually does during a siege
Watch the rotation, not the damage numbers. Positioning behind the train, saving Blizzard-style AoE for stacked pushes, switching to single-target burst when their healers overextend, and managing that High Five-specific resource called not-running-out-of-mana. Attribute stones matter here too: on H5, elemental resistance is part of every serious siege setup.
The server: Exilium World
Exilium World runs High Five on a PTS-based build, with an international crowd and a visible Brazilian community presence in this channel's videos. The project site is exiliumworld.com, also linked by the uploader in related videos. PTS-style servers appeal to players who want retail-accurate skill formulas rather than custom rebalances.
Why H5 sieges feel different from Interlude
- Skills carry attributes, so gear planning includes elemental attack and defense, not just grade.
- The class roster is wider: Kamael lines and later-era supports change clan compositions.
- Vitality and instance content shape how much prep time clans have between sieges.
Taking this into your own sieges
If you play a nuker, copy three habits from the video: pre-position before the gate falls, hold your biggest AoE until the enemy commits to a choke, and call targets for your party instead of free-casting. If you lead a clan, notice how much of the fight is decided before anyone touches the walls.
