I recently got my mystic to Lv100 and I have been wondering what is the minimal acceptence for Caster Nirvana squads? I have a build that im working on finshing: http://pwcalc.com/529a9e188f99b395

Im also Sage with the following Skills Saged:

Break In the Clouds
Salvation
Nature's Vengence
Swirling Mist
Absorb Soul
Devil Chiyu
Storm Mistress

Lv99 Infliction

30 Str
60 Vit
62 Magic
5 Dex

Holy Path Lv10
Absolute Domain Lv9
Cloud Eruption Lv5
Expel Lv10
Tai Chi Lv10 (place holder till genie is Lv100 for affinity for Tree of Protection)b:surrender

I dont have enough for R8 nor TT99 Gold weapon High Refine/Sockets and so on(hence why im doing Nirvana).. Thanks in Advanceb:bye

Forgot to mention I already own the Blade of Red Dust.
I just dont want to invest all my farming time into TT99 and such and find out I dont need it for Nirvana.

    Aim for something like this at least: http://pwcalc.com/9dd3e58d0613705d

    As it stands, you're pretty much a one-shot at the last two bosses because of your low HP and absolutely no pdef.

    Well based off your suggested build i made this: http://pwcalc.com/4141e459d9bb5aee I couldnt find the Guard of ThunderShock in the auction house nor could i find it in the filter so yeah :/b:sad
    Im also not sure wiether to go for Broken Dream or Garuda's Flame Wing.

    The Guard of Thundershock belt is the final reward from the chrono quests.

    As for your cape... I'd go with cape of elite leather like Eoria suggests. It's got better stats for you and better hp from frefines will help your hp.You don't really need the 6% chan there as mystic, get the TT99 sleeves instead. The gold mats for them aren't too expensive and the channeling is sexy.

    As for your ring and hat, get something you level. Check, people sell good channeling rings for not too much money. Same goes for the hat, although the best bet would be to get a warsoul of heaven.

    For the weapon I'd really go with the tt99 glaive. The stats on it are damn useful and it's not too expensive to make.

    Your current pdef is way too low. I dont know why you insist so much on green TT stuff, gold ones are not that expensive anymore, and doing bh 100 can get you decent coins to be able to buy them.
    Caster nirvana tho it is made for casters its not really a walk on the catwalk. Some bosses sumon adds that hit pretty hard with physical attack and unless you want to lay down the whole time or keep cleric busy with ressing you instead of BBing/group healing i suggest you work on your pdef.

    When people walk away from you, let them go... your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you.. and it doesn't mean they are bad people.. It just means that their part in your story is over...

    Oooo....Come on im sure you can afford at least that: http://pwcalc.com/f2be0d8ca9471b8a
    It has pretty cool physical defence with buffs, as I see with bm/cleric/your buff u have 8k pdef.
    Well i added 45 vit more, idk in my mystic 100 vit is so cool. Personally i love it, however u can carry on with ur vit without pputting more!!!
    I wish my advice was helpfull and sorry for any gramatical mistakesb:surrender

    Above me: I don't really see what having that much vit and so many phy def shards gives you o_o

    My current setup: http://pwcalc.com/c28a4a19b8e9405c
    Don't have problems in caster, but there's still points I'd like to improve :p

    http://pwcalc.com/a229470b43f229b2 That's my current set up. Fully buffed. I'm content with it for now, just trying to refine to get hp/pdef up more.

    @OP your build is ok for caster nirvy, but just change your ornaments to something like skydemon's pearl or angler of beast souls. http://pwcalc.com/16011924155c6a71

    Sell the raps and cannies u get from nirvana and buy r8...
    R8= more dmge
    2nd recast nirvana= slightly higher defense, less dmge

    2nd recast nirvana is more expensive than r8 btw, and 2nd recast nirvana is what gives you set bonuses

    btw, we have r8 set bonuses now? or is that until the expansion?

    Even better, farm the nirvana, buy r8, farm more nirvana with new gear, recast if you want or save for r9, farm more nirvana, refinessssss

    Pretty much this.

    Only bad thing is that the addons to the weps and armor are random b:surrender

    IMO, r8 recast armor really isn't worth it just for this reason unless you're a BM/sin looking for int adds.

    Wep can be nice for mystics, but I'd work on armor first before even thinking about wep.

    I see. So nirvana to get r8, refine it, save up for r9.

    This is my current set up at 99 unbuffed: http://pwcalc.com/0e7d1888d8207b18

    Once I hit 100 I will have R8 gear but I'm not sure if having that WGTM cloak is good enough, Should I upgrade it to a wings of cloudcharger or something different? I have around 57m to play around with. What else could I do to improve my gear also?

    My advise... find good friends or a good faction that brings you to caster.. your gear is not even close to be acceptable...

    I see nothing wrong with their gear? No point to waste mirages on +6 or 7 refines until you get your endgame gear...

    lvl 100 sage mystic here
    u need r8 gear for caster nirvana and simple as that i would call it as minimal requirment, tt99 are only for clerics,venos and wizards,maybe psychic but all this must be above+5.
    get your gear beter before even tryin enterin some nirana, u can get cape from wgtm, this aint so expensive, anyway work on r8 gear-how do u upgrejd your items, doin dailys it aint option i gues as pwi like to role every second day lunar so join every tt squadd u can,exchainge talismans for subs and sell subs 1-20k.
