Mystics and the Mana Issue

darksynn · May 2012

I'd like to play to a mystic but I know from reading a few forums on them that they burn Mp like fuel and I really don't want to be chewing on Mp Charms all the time.

Is it possible to survive just off Apo products and Mana Pots at higher levels say Lv70+ or is an MP Charm a must have at all times ? This is my deciding factor on become a mystic or not.

You'll burn through everything. You need mp to summon. Mp for your summon to use skills. People expect you to heal, debuff, dd which eats up even more. Res buffs take a huge chunk of your mp. Your best bet is to powerlevel it with a sin.

Apos and/or divine pots will get you to 75, Herb Yuanxiao will sustain you just fine from then on. I've never used a mana charm that wasn't a quest reward, they're wastes.

Yup at low lvl i was burning mp and pots wasnt enough need often to meditate but since lvl 75 with the herbs yuanxiao i never run out mp and im not using charm.

Oh and you can get 50 pots with 3 tokens which is cheap.

If I need a mystic to heal in my squad and their mana is always low I just give them some pots. Or I ask the squad to donate and ppl always do. As long as you heal well everybody in squad will be chummy.

lvl 90 mystic and here and i will say that apoth will suit u fine till lvl70ish then u need to power lvlto 75 so u can use mana food, after that I have never had any troubles with mana...i res buff whole sqaud and 90% of time when in fc I am main healer and my mana never drops below 50%, 50% for me is like 4.5k mana cos i went pure mag. it just depends on how u play ur skills, and how well you know your toon

light/casual/medium players can get by on pots till 75 then yuan herb and the 79 skill. this only applies to pve. in pvp an mp charms pretty well a must. i used the pots i got from the supply stash till i could get the pots from the divine order things you get form bhs. from there those held me over till 75 where i got a massive stock of yuan herb and got my 79 skill. been fine ever since....until recently where i cant seem to find but 3-4 token sellers all of which are over 12.5k ea.. im 97 and i still have every charm I ever got from quests. im gonna be in pain when the tokens dry up cuz im not buying them so far above 10k ea. probably go back to the divine pots and take it easy and hope pwi throws some good sales...or the community realizes its their economy they are **** it up all on their own and stop blaming pwe and fix it themselves. a mystic can dream right?

gold prices 150k ea when i started this game...

Atm I play 78 chars on all 9 servers. My main on every server is a Veno, and my main alt on every server is a Mystic.

As long as you put all points into mag you be safe. I have never used manapost or charms or apothecary on any of my 78 chars. Just be careful not to max out all the skills you use, i prefer to max out 1 of my damage skills, and keep healing on lvl 3 or 4.

You must learn to ignore other players to be good at PWI. They will constantly hit you on the head if you dont maximise your skills, but they only want max heals to compensate for missing gaming skills. I have played like this since closed beta 2008, and never ever had any problems with it. People I squad with invites me back all the time.

Good luck and Jesus bless you. b:victory

This is untrue. I've never needed a mana charm for anything, not even PvP and I started PvP on my mystic in 6x before herbs were useable. Honestly just NPC pots were enough. And after 75 herbs handle everything.

In most games mana conservation is a necessary skill someone has to learn to be able to take advantages of opportunistic moments. In this game it's merely a coin-sink and contributes nothing to the actual gameplay.

Anyway, I'm not sure why people would let mana useage drive them away from the class. The way I see it, I can do everything in the game, even pvp, without hp charms or pots effectively thx to falling petals and break in the clouds. The money I save not buying expensive hp healers more than makes up for the herbs I stack a couple times each week.(300 at a time, not really much, but I guess I'm not very active. :x)

All of you people said is so true. I've never used any mp charm and i can say i'm doing very well. I still use the pots from divine orders since i have like 3000 of them XD + herb yuanxiao.. But the most important thing is the +k mana regen. in the equip. Every piece of my equip has at least +4 mana regen and i don't even need to rest to gain up mana again XD

At endgame you will have way less problems. You got Clear thoughts to regen mp, herb yunxiaou, and other stuff becomes available too.

My mystic never wore any charm, she's doing fine, especially now that summons start off with half mp when summoned. Also helps my summons are sage and I got the morai aoe rez buff so way less mp used there.
