quick rant

O~o I sure would find it rude, especially since every bit of mana could mean the difference between that extra hit to kill something or having to kite around mid-kill because you're oom.

Of course, I'm one to throw buffs on people at random, and I'm pure mag so it's not that big of a dent, but if I was grinding and didn't feel like buffing someone that's doing fine on their own, and they stalked me like a weirdo because of it, that seems kinda rude to me.

It can be annoying at lower lvls, but after 75, it doesn't really matter because mana food is always needed and it's relatively cheap. Also, I don't have the heart to leave people behind without buffs. xD

back when giving hour buffs = an entire mana pot, I didn't buff random people.
Now that I have sage spirit's gift and can regain the mana in a few seconds I'll do it if they ask nicely.
aka if you walk up to me and go "buff", you can go to hell.

That's because barb/bm have to invite you in their squad to buff you.

I only buff people if they ask nicely/I feel like it.

Like one time, I was grinding those lvl 96 spiders near that frozen lake east of Harshlands. Some psy started following me while I was gathering up the mobs and kept PMing me to buff him. Of course I couldn't do it while I had 30 mobs firing a DoT which can deal up to 1k-2k+ damage if I don't purify fast enough. And the fact that my chatbox was all blue because he wouldn't even wait a minute 'till I kill those damn mobs really pissed me off.
After the mobs were dead and I gathered my drops, he tried to invite me to his squad so I could give him 1h buffs. That pissed me even more. I denied the invite and flew away.

xxx whispers: fine, keep ur mana for urself

Don't use circular logic on anyone who says your class is trash because clerics are "obviously" the best healers. We're only the best because IH stacks and because we have a plethora, and I mean a plethora of healing skills.
A well built mystic will either heal as well as a cleric or BETTER than a cleric due to the low cooldown time on BitC and their naturally high magic attack. I.E. you can heal as we;; or better than a cleric on any boss except for Gaurnob,Pole,Decaying Fragrance Etc.....(For the obvious reasons that you can't purify the debuffs quickly enough or fast enough even if you have the sage version of BitC)
The second reason for not using circular logic on someone who says your class is fail is that more likely than not they won't understand your logic.
I.E. they are too stupid to get the point you're driving at.b:byeb:byeb:bye

Nah, circular reasoning is usually not much use in a real argument. The only times when I bother with it are for the lulz, especially when the person I'm 'arguing' with isn't smart enough to point out just how flimsy my argument is. That's also why it's so fun; they're smart enough to figure out my point and that I'm poking fun at them but not smart enough to rip my argument apart like the wet tissue paper it is.

Interesting that a mystic would make a good healer though. Mine's only at level 32 so I can't really say much about it but the mana cost is going to be a pain in the *** until 75 if I don't get a charm. I figure that until then I'd just play support to the cleric while DDing.

for me I just go: no comprendo, mon amie

which is jumping between two languages but eh, it works b:victory

I would usually do it for a faction member (that I know) or a friend.

but if you randomly walk up to me and go asking for a 1hr buff... yeah.... no.

Lolz Soi, I've had people asking for buffs when I AOE then KS'ing my group ( as to help me finish ) *facedesk*

But yea I buff when asked nicely and feel like it, a few barbs and BMs buff me too.
Your best friend when people nag --> ignore --->BL if needed.

Well, most of the people who try to KS those wood mobs from me end up dead cause I tend to gather up 20-30+ of those.When I see someone else attacking my group I just stop attacking and watch them die (I'm so evil lawl b:chuckle). When I see other clerics around I just go find myself another spot. I only got KSed by a cleric once (his tempest accidentally killed my group too, he apologized tho b:cute)




But yeah, gotta hate people that are impatient and try to "help you finish faster" so you can buff them -.-

. I've never made it to really high level so if mana regeneration does gets faster, I'll be glad to buff people.

Mana regen in affected by your mag, meaning it does get higher as you level, assuming you'll spend your points in mag each time you level :P But even so, it doesn't make a HUGE difference imo. For me, it's just enough so I won't sit forever in meditate stance when I'm too lazy to use a mana pot while I'm questing.
