My exp. With mystics

FloraFang - Harshlands

So yeaterday on my cleric main i was running a bh51 and majority of the squad was mystic like half it was me and 2 seekers that made the other half. Now on the first run I felt quite useless because almost noone needed a heal both seekers had charms and just ran into the mobs and the mystics had their summons and even if they did get hit they healed before i could(mostly due to lag). None theless it was weird especially because I was upgraded(in a way) to metal mage O_o. Albeit it was fun not having to heal anyone i still had to rezz. So my thing is has anyone else had this happen to them?b:sad

Also side question: What did you do for your weapon path? because i want the TT99 gold weapon but i waon't be able to get the TT80 wheel so i decided(once i get enough chips)
Arbor(sell)=>Greif's breathe(from my veno)(sell)=> (use chips)legendary79 wheel(sell)=>(use chips)legendary 79 magic sword=>and at 90 idk O.o

Dont waste your coin, buy rep get r8 for wep. It does more unrefined and unsharded than tt99 with shards and +5

Dont get r8 or r9 youll be the same as every other person in the server and it costs a lot of real life munnah. Get your tt99 gold and then try to nirvana it, second cast nirvana can have SCARY stats and you dont have to spend a penny.

*laughs at people thinking you have to spend rl coin to get end game gear*

A cleric is going to want other Rank 9 pieces besides the weapon, especially the ring. Add a second (third if you count the ring) and thats +10 defense levels which is sexy for a cleric to have. You're talking about farming a 500 mil coin weapon vs. a better weapon and your real endgame weapon for 800 mil, and saying the 300 mil difference would be the difference of cash shopping? Farm raps but instead of making Nirvana, sell and buy rep/chips. By the time you get the rank 9 weap you'll have 300k rep and the ring. Would recommend this since you're on a PvP server, btw.


Honestly, I'm not impressed with Rank 9 for cleric for healing. Attack levels, crit rate, and hp don't do anything for strength of heals but it has a huge base magic before you even start refining. If you're into DD clericing or pk... its an insane weapon.

As for weapon path's I went Ancient Arbor (60)-> Acalantha Wand (70) -> (changed paths) Endless Ambiguity -> FCC gold Aquadash - > Rank 8 because I considered those the best weapons for each breakpoint.

Of all the people in my guild, which is 164, everyone who has rank 9 or rank 8 used cash to get it, as has virtually everyone ive ever asked. The people who nirvana their gear just do nirvana runs lol. Some people DONT like being a cookie cutter mold of the other 90% of the people on the server, having the same armor and same weapon with the exact same stats, ntyb:bye

Farm nirvana with your TT99 to sell the drops and scrap up 72g for r8. Being unique doesnt mean youre smart.

Did i say that i was smart anywhere in the thread? No:P. However if i dont like the A.) attributes attached to a weapon b.) its appearance or c.) the fact that everyone and their grandmother has it, im not going to get it. Some of the stats you can get on 2nd cast are just plain better than r8 or r9 glaives. Let me play my way and you can play yours, i'll advise people as i see fit, and you will how you see fit.

It is actually possible to cash shop nirvana (buy gold, sell it for coin and buy cannies/raps), just as it is possible to grind and work for rank 8. I'm a rank 8 cleric and I LOVE my rank 8 gear, even if I'm not being very original. Practicality > Looks + Popularity for me. I know that some people may prefer TT99 or Nirvana (1st or 2nd cast) and I respect that, but I think that you should choose the weapon that suits you best. ^^

As for the chain I went...

Ancient Arbor (TT60 sword) -> Ashura's Sign (TT70 sword) -> Yaksa (TT80 sword) -> (change of chain) Wheel of Life (TT80 glaive) -> Wheel of Denied Fate (TT90 glaive) -> Fate Denial : Godspeed (TT99 glaive) -> Wheel of Light (rank 8 glaive)


My experiences with mystics have been rather mixed. Some mystics are awesome and act as excellent secondary healers, but I've met some that act more like venos. In one bh59 that I was in on an alt, the DDs couldn't even DD without dying because the mystics couldn't care less about them! (It was a two mystic bh59 squad, no cleric.) They only healed their pets, looked after themselves and ignored if anyone else is taking damage. They didn't buff themselves or anyone else with the res buff, not even the tank...

SeaStorm - Heavens Tear

I ran my veno with a friend's mystic to do her BHs. We had my herc and her pet. She wanted to see if her heal could keep up on the herc. Sure enough they did. That freed me up from having to heal the herc and go full DD. I did keep an eye on the herc but never an issue.

Then again I guess too in other squads my chars have been in with mystics where it's "older" players that are used to running in squads, working as a team, etc...So I guess that makes a difference.

Weapon path wise...my cleric ran: Ancient Arbor (60) ---> Grief's Breath ---> Endless Ambiguity (80) ---> Wraith Conquerer (90) ----> Neon Purgatory (95 lunar)....but she does have access to the 99 Broken Dream (that follows Wraith Conquerer), Fate Denial : Godspeed (99 gold), 99 gold Pataka and a few others. I prefer the neon purgatory on her but if I didn't have that I'd be using the Broken Dream or Fate Denial.
