    Rename your title please. It's not a guide.

    oh and i'm a demon mystic.

    Normal -26% channel

    Demon sparked: -51% channel

    Demon+Rapid Growth = -71% channel

    Natures+Absorb w/ 71% Channel = Night Night robes + LA in 2 seconds or so

    (oh and don't forget Magic Attack Stacks also with both)

    And what is your opponent doing during the 8 seconds or so that you need to get this off? Just standing there? What if he stuns you? Or simply just runs way? It's a pretty nice combo to get some sick damage in pve, I guess.

    Listless + Lysing = 13 second sleep.

    All you need is something to survive any control for the second AS (fortify? Will Surge for wizzies maybe)
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    Listless isn't always a complete success as you have to lyse it, and if the opponent has quick reactions and knows Mystic skills, he can move out of Listless range before you're done lysing it. Or use anti-sleep/debuffs skills or apoths before.
    But yeah, his combo is excellent to gank an arcane person or if he's using ironguards or similar apoths while doing it. But if they are actually fighting back I guess the best would be something like:
    NV + AD + Listless + Lysing + Rapid + Absorb Soul.
    Or you could Leech Salvation if your AD in in cooldown or something, and you could combine it with Nature's Barrier right after Leech so it wouldn't immobilize you thanks to the immunity. If you're charmed, in most cases, Salvation's Leech and Nature's Barrier should be enough to buy you time to use your combo. Unless the person is like R9 and hits really like a truck :o In this case your best bet is still AD or ironguards.

    Btw, I'm sage but I have -45% channeling on my gear which makes it -65% chan already without needing demon spark ^o^ And anyways, triple sparking in PvP is begging to be stunned or killed asap or purged by a veno, unless you sleep them or stun them long enough before actually sparking. This is for 1 vs 1 PvP though. In TW it's another story, you can't get everyone slept or stunned at the same time so anyone can come to prevent you from destroying everything on your way with your spark.

    Sparking in PvP is viable if you know what you are doing. Same with TW.

    With your gear + demon spark = 90% chan. Absorb soul channels in .5 seconds.

    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.

    Trip Spark + Chi pot + Lysing Storm + Rapid Growth + chi skill + Holy path + Beffulding + Lysing + Lucky Break + Gale Force is viable if you know what you are doing also. In TW You could 1 shot all sins, clerics, archers wizzys and venos around while sealing all BMs, seekers, and barbies in the way. Definitely seems like something that can be done under normal circunstances.

    Petals lasts UP TO 1 minute (5 if demon). It can expire any time within that range. b:surrender

    There's a difference between that and demon spark > rapid growth > fortify > irongaurd.

    Yes I confirmed that it was fixed as far as I was told from Kohala, another sage mystic.

    Now... If you choose a full channeling build like this (not expensive at all really) you'll be at 42%
    http://pwcalc.com/76e3552aea0373cf


    I only counted 27% channeling on that build. Or am I mistaken in the way -channeling works?

    idk maybe he edited it or something? mistyped? Anyway a channeling build that doesn't sacrifice too much in defense should look more like this.

    No it doesnt overwrite, RG it stacks with 3 spark. I have -45% channeling normal, with 3spark+RG I get -90%. Its pretty awesome to see AS going in less then a second b:dirty

    It has its own icon, that should tell you right away that it doesn't overwrite it.
