Mystic Build

Shidah - Archosaur

I realize that my lvl 10 mystic is not very strong, I can't kill anything without healing myself so I was wondering what a good build would be for mystics? I don't know what stats I should use.

Thank's

1str 9mag every two lvls....FTW!


No, but really; this is my build and I have had NO problems with it O:!!!!!!!!!!!!

what's wrong with a bit of healing yourself in between mobs? that's how clerics often play, and it works fine for them.

the simplest way to build a mystic would be pure mag. every two levels, put 1 point into strength and the rest into mag. this should work fine.

the one strength every other level is a must, you can't do less than that and keep up with your equipment; and out of the mag, at least three points are necessary for up-to-date weapons. in theory you can experiment with the other six, but i'd advise you nevertheless to put most of them into mag unless you're planning a truly experimental build. (anybody tried a HA or LA mystic yet? if so, any luck with it?)

the only stat you can add extra points to without getting into decidedly strange territory is vit, for more HP.

Even levels: 4mag 1str
Odd levels: 5mag

If you want a little extra hp, you can take some of those magic points and put them in vit instead, but never go below 3mag/level (bare minimum to use your current level arcane armor/weapons).

Personally, I use the build posted at the top and I'm loving it.

send the summon, at lvl 10 you will get the first summon and the lvl 1 summon heal skill, at that lvl you will be able to kill just with the summon.... but a good build its 8mag 2 str every 2 lvls or 10mag 5str every 5 lvls (this one is the one i'm using)

Um...no. You're actually gimping yourself at lower levels if you're using more than 1 str every two levels. You don't need more than that.

Okay so if I understand right I do 1str and 9mag every two lvl's, and I don't put any on the other two?

I have a light armor mystic and things have gone well for me. For the LA build, its:
1 STR
1 DEX
3 MAG

for every level. I have a mix of light, heavy and arcane gear to give overall protection and, knock on wood, I haven't died (other than leaving a map up while autopathing through some easy to aggravate mobs, but that is a whole separate story).

the mystic is only level 21 but it seems to work well.

It's really up to you. Most are choosing to go full mag (1 str 9 mag every two levels) due to the high mana costs that come with mystics. Some are choosing to add 1-2 vit every two levels as well. Figure out what you, personally, are comfortable with, and go with that.

Food for thought: You have other means of getting hp/vit pretty easily. It's not as easy to get extra mag, and the loss in heals/mana pool/matk will be noticable if you go heavy on vit, and even more noticable if you go LA or HA. Conversely, some people prefer having that extra protection that some extra vit can add, and someone without vit statted in will never reach the hp that someone with vit in their build can reach, given same level and gear.

Personally I'm going pure mag, and I'm not missing having more hp at all. The extra heals and large mana pool help considerably, while the phys res buff keeps me from being as squishy as other pure mag arcanes. b:victory

For one thing: heals are for healing. Sounds obvious, but seriously, that's what heals are there for. Nothing wrong with healing yourself mid-fight. In fact, I'm pretty sure the mystic heal was made for mid-fight healing; the short channel is perfect for it.

Arcane armor is excellent for any magic-wielding class. You will need 1 strength and at least 6 magic every 2 levels in order to equip your gear. This leaves 3 points over every 2 levels; I would suggest adding them to either magic (if you want more damage/better pet heals) or vitality (if you would like to be less squishy). As an arcane build, I would say use your tank pet (the purple devil guy). Send him ahead of you to fight and heal him as needed, adding your own attacks when you can.

I went light armor on my mystic, just because all my other magic users are arcane and I felt like trying something different. He has 1 strength, 1 dexterity, and 3 magic per level. Though he usually wears LA, he can also equip arcane for situations that require more magic defense. He tanks himself and uses Storm Mistress for damage. This is working pretty well so far; with the mistress, he kills many mobs before they even reach him, and if they do reach him, he holds up fairly well between his armor and his healing. He's only level 26 at the moment, but I'm interested in seeing how he holds up later.

it'll be meteokre pdef and mdef (compared to the specialized armor types) and pretty low MP pool and MP regen... but i have seen LA work pretty well on one cleric in particular..

not downing LA, but there is a reason my veno went HA lol (and i might try it on a mystic too... but the veno has WAY lower MP usage than a mystic too... so's easier to keep that HA veno running... i'll probably more likely go with AA until at least lv90 where my HA veno's currently at... then decide if i want to switch after seeing how things go with that fulltime 80% pdef selfbuff and arcane armor with pdef adds + pdef ornaments.. n mby some vit)

my mystic (if i ever get ingame to start one) would also be stacked to the sky with MP recovery addons while arcane.. like a hat i have with +6, cape with +6, tome with +6, necklace with +7, and some adds on the arcanes (all mprecov bonuses that is) and maybe even the HH belt that gives 3mp/sec... and whatever else i can find... because mystic uses a TON more MP for skills than veno.. and i hate using pots unless i absolutely have to lol

Thank you guys for all your input, it has really helped. But I also have a question about armor and weapons. Will I automatically get my armor and weapon from the quests, if so what lvl's do I get new gear? Or do I need to get the gear myself from a person in the city?

I am new playing this game and kinda got lost in all the quests.

misteranonym

you get a nice weapon after you kill a boss at lvl19 (which youll need help)...you get armors from a few quests also but those aren't great-- quickly replaced by the average drops. Be sure to get the rank gear tho from the guy near Commander in Archasour. I believe after 500 Rep--those are actually nice

I'm well aware of the drawbacks of LA; I see it as a beginning to mid-game build, for the most part. My veno is currently arcane, but will likely be restatting to HA at endgame. If I ever level the mystic that far, I might restat him as well and share gear across both chars. In the mean time, my bf is trying a HA mystic just to see how it works.

And the mana pool issue brings me to another point: I've been finding that my mana actually lasts longer when I tank myself and use Storm Mistress rather than Devil Chihyu. For one thing, the player heal is noticeably more efficient than the pet heal (I heal myself once or twice where I would have to heal the devil many times), and for another, the Mistress has a much higher damage output (so I kill before I use much mana) and her skills consume a smaller portion of her mana than those of the Devil Chihyu. Additionally, I turn off the auto-fire on the Mistress' skills and only have her fire one or two at opportune moments--it's just as important to manage her mana as mine.
