Mystics and NW.

Bramble works wonders for killing sins/BMs. Ask venos to bramble you if you see them. Keep Falling Petals on yourself and buff it on others if you see them. Other than that, your main job should pretty much be CCing the enemy flag carrier or protecting your flag carrier with heals or CCing the people coming after him.

Also don't forget that you have an anti-stun via leech. Leeching Devil will give you pdef and leeching Salvation will give you shield+petals. Try and keep one of those out.

1.Use Nature's Vengeance+Absorb skill combo on arcane armors (yes, arcane! Absorb seem to ignore arcane armor while it do less dmg to heavy armor.): clers, venos, mystics, mages, psychics etc.
2.Always have ress buff and petals on yourself. When you get killed and ress you have a few seconds immunity to all attacks - while you can still attack, it can be deadly to oponents and is not that usefull when you ress at your spawn point (usually there is not too much oponents at spawn point and even if they are too strong to kill them). I often do I suicide run just to have fun seeing them wasting their casting time on me while I attack them after my ress.
3.Use Devil to stun oponents - you can either set it on attack and stun the oponent you attack (prevent them to att back or heal themselfes + deal some phy dmg to them) or keep it on defence to protect yourself from those sneaky sins that stealth and stun you (right after they stun your Devil stuns them so they don't kill you before your stun runs off - but Devil wont hurt the sin as much as he hurt arcane targets).
4.Silence and immobilise oponents by using Gale Force and Thicket to save you or your nation members and **** oponents off. xD
5.Set a Listless Blossom in a strategic point (for example near flag spot) and try to stay alive while staying close enough to keep it on.
6.Immobilise and slow oponents nation flag holder.
7.Heal your nation flag holder and immobilise/silence/sleep oponents running after him.

Most of my wars I use ress and kill (Natura+Absorb combo) strategy while my Devil is on attack mode (some more phy dmg to my arcane oponents). It give me about 200 tokens each NW (but I am R8 and usually lucky enough to be in winning nation, before my R8 I was getting about 70 tokens each NW but I didnt figure my strategy out at the time).On a battle where I killed 18 people and died 10 times I got 2200 personal points.

BTW: Remember you still get points for being killed and when it kick you out from a battle you can return to the battle or check another - you won't waste your points, you will get them when the battle where you accumulated them finish even if you are not there anymore. Don't be afraid of dieing.

If the flag carrier is in your squad Gaia's blessing would be better than vital herb since when people move the plant stay there.

getting stuck in base during is so not cool b:angry
the rest is though b:victory

^ this

if you want some def levels - whack on an o'malley's - its not as much defense levels as what you could get from a R8R weapon but its
1) cheaper and you can always swap back to a jones when you're not tanking

2)purify+15 defense level+ ability to heal for at least as long as the proc lasts > 25 defense levels

...at least in my opinion especially for a caster class that has stackable Pdef buffs with cleric and BM buffs (only other class with this is wizard and i guess if you wanna be pedantic veno fox form and plume shell) and one of 2 classes that can actually heal well enough to tank and DD at the same time.

A great skill for if sins pop on you is expel or badge of courage (both genie skills) or both to get you out of stun locks and fortify keeps you out of them.

Fortify is great for magic classes who dont seem to have a lot of anti stuns at all but have enough magic defense for it to not have such a detrimental effect. By the time you've used badge of courage + gale + fortify you should have bought yourself some time to either move away from the sin, bramble tornado or heal yourself and cast petals and maybe a sally shield or leeched/summoned chihyu ready to kill that fishy that thought you were squishy!!

Mystics are epic in NW but definitely need to be used properly and like most other classes are dependent on genie skills for survival against classes like sins.

The key is to buy yourself some time long enough for you to slap that hoe in the face.

So the argument is cheaper? How much cheaper? Is the price still not plummeting on raps with mold prices being negligible? Not being account stashable is more costly to me.

Sorry, but now R8 is more expensive than 3rd nirvana recast, plus 3rd nirvana recast give fix stats (except the % and amount of some), while R8r can be a pain to get good stats.

Some people even say 3rd recast nirvana is better than the plain R9, but R8r weapon is good for the purify and def level, but gears are ****.

I personally go for full 3rd cast nv armor and def lvled r8r wep. So all in all I will get 50+ def lvl without a single def lvl shard b:pleased
