Mystic Info

(This Info is based off of my Mystic at lvl 70)

Main Roles of Mystics:DD, Off-Tank, Heals

[*]Roles: DD (Damage Dealer)
Mystics can be known as damage dealers, I personally view them as a mix between psychic, and wiz. They are capable of TREMENDOUS damage within a 1 minute time-period, through use of their dmg dealing pets (IE: Storm Mistress for magic dmg, and Devil Chihyu for Physical attacks) and their plants, and skills. I've found that any mystic with max lvl of the 3 base attacks and at least lvl 1 of the later magic attacks, along with Storm Mistress and Punishing Sting, are capable of about 85,000 dmg within a minute, if not more. If you're fighting a mob with Physical dmg you can again use Punishing Sting, and also use Devil Chihyu, and Natures Vengeance + Absorb soul for a decent 75,000 dmg per minute. Now when trying to deal the most of both damage types within a minute I've found that using the Devil Chihyu, Befuddling Creeper, Natures Vengeance + Absorb Soul, and The Cragglord when able. I personally have been able to deal 150k dmg within a minute through use of these skills. That being said I was not using max lvl of Cragglord, my skill list and lvls are as follows: Natures Vengeance - lvl 10, Absorb Soul - lvl 10, Devil Chihyu - lvl 10, Befuddling Creeper - lvl 10, Cragglord - lvl 1.



[*]Off-Tank (Able to tank normal mobs)
Mystics ARE ABLE to Off-tank and handle most normal and low hp bosses, through use of the Devil Chihyu summon, and the Befuddling Creeper, and normal summon heals. The Devil's physical defenses and moderate attack make him ideal for withstanding moderate dmg from a mob or mobs. That paired with the Creepers status effects to weaken and slow the attacks of the attacking mobs makes them capable of stronger and stronger mobs. If you're handling a FB/BH this is ideal for sending the Chihyu after one mob, and your plant to distract another while maintain heals and possibly adding your own dmg if able. I DO NOT think, nor do I advise any mystic attempt any mob with over 400k HP until lvl 75 as the MP use mixed with the maximum defense of the Chihyu are lacking against certain bosses. I do however know for a fact that Mystics are capable of soloing BH29, and possibly even BH39 at lvl 70. BH29 is done similarly to the way Veno's handle it.

[*]Heals (Buffs, and benefits)
I would like to plainly state that the info I give for heals is not based off of dislike for clerics or anything of that sort. I LOVE Clerics, and I adore how they can more easily handle heals.
That being said, I would like to say that Mystics are EQUAL in power to Clerics for healing, we are not better, and clerics are not better, we each have different and similar uses that get the job done. Mystics have use of 2 AOE healing plants that can be used to form a barrier wall of heals SIMILAR to the Clerics "BB", this tactic is less mana straining than that of the Clerics version, but also it does not provide the defensive wall that BB does, just the heals. Along with the Mystic version of "BB" they have a similar form of IH through use of the Salvation Summons "Twin Flowers" shield, as it absorbs any dmg taken by a certain amount, this skill paired with the Mystics "Falling Petals" is an effective wall to prevent incoming dmg to the Tank. I do advise watching the HP of said tank and using the Mystics main heal when necessary. Though the Mystic has no HoT spell, we're more than capable of handling heals thanks to the Main heals VERY FAST casting speed... I cannot tell you how many times i've assisted Clerics in a BH and had to use my heal as the life saver. The Mystics also have a unique and effective Resurrection Buff, Though I do not advise using it as the primary form of rez for ALL members of the party unless you're 1.) Rich, or 2.) full of mp charms/pots, as it will EAT away all of your MP. The max lvl Rez Buff protects 80% exp loss, and it gives half HP and MP back upon rez. The downfall to the rez buff is it costs 3800 mp PER use at lvl 10, and the buff only lasts 15 minutes. As such I advise using it on yourself, the Tank, and if you have a Cleric, them as well. This info is based off of my Max lvl heal/healing buff, lvl 1 AOE healing plants, and lvl 8 Salvation, so OBVIOUSLY if I'm able to manage all that with none-max lvl skills then i'm QUITE sure that max lvl ones are 20x better.



I would like to send a short, heartfelt message to everyone in the Sanctuary server, I have been treated VERY poorly. I have NOT tried to spread word that Mystics are replacements for any of the previous classes, nor are they any better. I'm just trying to test the class, and learn all of it's abilities and faults so that I can effectively teach people how to assist everyone in the world they live. I've worked tirelessly to learn EVERY bit of info I can about the Mystic class, and I personally believe the only MAJOR con to playing it is the MP use. I would like to say my thank you to my Faction: Paladin, for assisting me in my quest for knowledge, and also for helping me test my experiments properly. b:cry I love all the classes, and I especially love the Mystics diverse and multi-tasking abilities. b:kissb:bye
