So how many mystics does it take to chain the knock back skill to make a cata barb pushed far enough away from the catapult to loose it?

I'm thinking it is easier to just knock him to the side to make catapult target tower instead but idk..just curous. Kinda thinking a squad of 6 mystics might be a pretty good squad to leave in the base as defense.

    Idk...Im just a noob, but Ive never been in a TW where a Mystic onslaught of a single catabarb happened. In fact the faction I TW'd with only had about 2 maybe 3 Mystic signing up for TW.

    Mystics are good in Air & catakill squads, serving both as heals and DD.

    Im not sure a squad of Mystics protecting your base is your best tactic, only cause most Mystics are rather squishy, so if a good AoE catches them bunched up together, they could all get wiped. One or two people left behind as base buffers and to make the call when the base is in danger might be a better idea.

    Bramble Tornado is a good spell against catas. Its knocks them back and disrupts whatever the catasquad had planned at that moment. Can follow it up with lysing Listless Blossom while you and other DD come in for a swift kill of the squad, which is a better way for the barb to let go of the cata. If the Mystic needs to buy a little time, can also follow the lysing Listless Blossom up with a Gale Force and send the squad running off against their will or control.

    And, I guess dont kill that catapult itself, unless its right outside the gate of your base. It only sends it back to their base to be ready for the barb you just killed when he respawns.

    The chain idea sounds like it would be fun to watch, dont get me wrong. It might be something fun to play with if you are ever doing one of those TWs where you expect to roll right over your opponent and have enough Mystics free, but there are more efficient ways for a barb to be seperated from his cata.

    In TW the Mystic is best used as a healer and to do what it does best - create Chaos.

    Make a vid if you try the chain thing. Would be interesting to see! ^.^
