Reducing Mana costs for a Mystic

Mana costs for a mystic are outrageous. Would it be possible for PWI to reduce the costs of certain skills/buffs. For example ~ Resurrect buff uses up at least 1/2 of the MP pool. That's a guaranteed charm tick per use. If you're in a squad the MP charm is ticking 6 times. Not all players are rich & can afford to buy a new MP charm every day or so. And with the economy on PW ~ even grinding to make the money to buy the charm would really defeat the purpose.

I've been playing PWI for 3 yrs & I'm not a forum troll as you can see lol.

This is just something that has come to mind since the new classes have come out.

    They already did reduce the mana costs, they were much higher before.

    The mana costs for mystic are 100% fine, granted at lower levels the res buff can be a pain, but that's why you only cast it on the cleric, the tank if you have spare mp and may be your self if your bored, whilst at lower levels I also bought mana regen gear which helped like crazy, made sitting time about 1-2 mins max for my whole mp pool to come back for another good 10mins worth of killing at least, end of the day, you just 2 shot mobs anyway with soul absorb.

    As soon as you get clear thoughts skill, then you pretty much never have to worry about mana, especially when your mystic hits 90 and has triple spark, I can infinately grind whilst casting both my buffs on my self and never pot or use a charm, even in FC I can do an entire run without using a single pot, if the squad sucks hard, I may use 1-3 pots.

    Your Suggestion is a good one. I had soo much trouble keeping up MP on my mystic when I was under level 75. My **** pots were rotating cool downs like a clock. But I will say that the Herbs from tokens help ALOT. They good and fairly cheap. It is just extremely bad for the mystics who are under level 75 ><. But then again they did reduce them a bit a long while ago, so I don't think that they will do it again. So Just buy herbs until tokens cost 3mil per one then yeah we're screwed. b:surrender

    The real kicker is that MP charms tick in when they hit 75% instead of 50% like the HP charms. If that single change (MP charms tick at 50%) was implemented it would solve the problem for low level mana eaters like Mystics and Clerics. AT 75% there is no way to conserve or manage your charm MP.

    So yes new mana eaters have two fairly expensive options, buy lots of charms when on sale (hint hint), and buy gear via AH with built-in mana regen buffs. I don't think adding MP points via shards is worth it.
    Just some guy

    Mystic basic nukes are really not much worse than other robe classes. The only things that are exceptionally high is the pet heal (compared to Veno) and resurrect.

    I don't use a charm. I have one just haven't put it on because I don't see the sense in wasting it. And yes I do know about apothecary and have it leveled up & use all the powders etc BECAUSE I don't want to waste my money on MP charms even though I can afford to buy them whenever I need them. But not everyone in this game has that luxury. It was just a suggestion about lowering the mana costs on some of the skills. Mostly just the resurrect. You don't need to talk to me like I'm an idiot.
