Swirling Mist

How does good this skills? Does it usable more at pve or pvp? Does it worth to max this skill? I just need your advice about this skill. I very like in all mmorpgs dot (damage over time) skills, so I'm intereseted in this one.

I like the skill. I mostly use it against bosses and when I'm using the chihyu to kill mobs. Just add a single cast and it shaves kill time significantly.

I like the skill too, gives me something to use other than vengeance and I like it in pvp as well. It's funny when you use it on a sin before they stealth escape when almost dead and a few seconds later they drop dead out of stealth b:chuckle

Honestly I can count the times I've used Swirling Mist on one hand in pvp. But I should really try it out more often.

I almost considered Swirling Mist completely useless but I see it is useful after all.

Can anyone tell me more about it and how they use it?

Mugler - Lost City

It should be be usable because spamming one skill looks kinda boring lol.

It hits every 2 seconds, lasts 9 seconds but can be... what's the word... recharged?
Anyway, Swirling Mist > NV > AS > Repeat is a nice macro that I use on bosses when I'm DD

On mobs I never use it, it's a lot faster to NV > AS and with my TT60 it kills any mob at my lvl, they don't even hit me, and don't hit the pet either, so I don't spend mana at all on heals

It's actually pretty good, as far as DoT skills go. Quick to cast, a decent initial bite of damage, and a pretty strong DoT that has the potential to get stronger, as opposed to a mediocre amount of set damage. I do have to wonder why they felt the need to make it so it only triggers at less than 60% health though... -.-

Desdi - Sanctuary

I tested myself and I see that it is pretty strong after all. I was used to my Venomancer's DoT skills that prior Demon, were quite weak in damage but I would stack all of them together and deal considerable damage. On Mystic, however, that was the only DoT I had so I just left the skill aside.

Thanks for the the answers everyone

At lv1, I use this skill almost always on PvE even if dot doesnt trigger, 12 mp ftw.

and yes, someone mentioned my fav boss dd macro (SM >NV>AS>SM...)

The way I look at the skill, mystics already have so many potential sources of dmg, this is just adding to the dps as another source making for a much faster kill. And I could be wrong, but the 60% hp tick thingy 'might' have something to do with charms. But I actually like the 60% cause it makes it a better poking skill so if I poke someone the DoT doesn't start right away, it only activates if they attack back and I get their hp low enough giving me a bit of an upper hand.

Mugler - Lost City

I maxed this skill and it's decent one. I found it's useful in pvp for runners or for boss. But can any1 help me how to calculate total damage of this skill? How more stronger this skill is than Nature's Vengeance?

Lets see is makes sense:

if you magic attack = 10k

then acoording to skills description:"Deals basic Magic Damage, and the target suffers the
Mist's Grasp status effect. When the target's HP is below
60%, the target takes continuous Wood damage equal to
basic Magic Damage plus 1992.2 every 2 seconds.
The Mist's Grasp status effect lasts for 9 seconds."

meaning: lets suppose you cast the skill on target that has already less than 60% HP, then first attack you hit by 10k, then after that will hit 4 more times of 11992.2 wood damage(9 secs/2) in a total of 57968.8 (47968.8 + 10k) damage over 9 secs.

anyone has a different view??

That sounds about right, actually. Or at least I'd like to think so. XD

Whenever I use a sparked level 10 Mist on Qingzi, the first hit nails him for between 4-5k, then the follow-up ticks chew away another 1.5-1.7kish each on average.

BiWinning - Heavens Tear

People actually use this pathetic skill? I haven't levelled it at all, it's too weak.

IKnuke - Harshlands

I just sold a Demon Book of it... Hope i did the right thing lol.
Never used this skill before, But as always after i do something i start regretting it.

Mugler - Lost City

I like this skill because it's type like physic's dots. If you use spark, the dot damage also increases. And max damage dealt much higher than Nature's Vengeance. b:victory
