I have a lvl 60 Mystic, in +7, +8 T12 gear. I know that's not top end, but from what I've seen as a Mystic healing the normal FoK and BT dungeons, the main things I'd like to see changed with the Mystic is for our primary heal and cleanse (lock-on) spells to lose their cooldowns. I can understand the Priest having cooldowns on their heal spells, since they have other heal spells to rotate through. But Mystics only have 1 heal and 1 cleanse other than dropping balls on the floor. They can't rotate through other heals, so there shouldn't be a cooldown on the one they do have. It isn't a long cooldown, but honestly, there just shouldn't be one at all. 3 seconds can mean the difference between life or death in many cases.

Obviously Mystics could use some help in the soloing department, I think that's been well established. But I don't believe that's what this thread is about so I'm not going to go into any of that.

You could have spent that 3k gold a day to buy a Regressor and get it to +6... which is better than a +9 Dayslayer.

Not all servers have T13 items available on the auction house. Hell, Celestial Hills has maybe five static teams on the server doing hard modes (and that might be an overestimation), and they all take their AH fodder to Dragonfall to sell.


This is a terrible idea. I'm on Dragonfall, and the economy is ridiculous. You can barely sell anything on the broker anymore for more than the vendor will give you. I should know, I buy stuff every day off the broker people put up below vendor price, then go vendor them. It's really that ridiculous. I don't know why anyone would intentionally come to Dragonfall to sell stuff on the broker.
Did you do the quest in Khanovar Front? The one where you had to get into a siege machine and shoot the Giant BAMs? The cannon in BT works the same way except you have to use a lever to summon the cannon first. And as the OP above me said, your cue is when you see the text on your screen that someone has been blinded or something like that. That's when you run to summon and get ready to use the cannon. Unless, as the OP above seems to believe is always the case, you find yourself as the healer assigned to both mirrior and cannon duty. If that's the case, then you have to run to mirror and use it, then run to cannon and pray the boss doesn't pull you in and cause you to be late getting to the cannon. I personally think it's a bad idea to assign the same person to both functions, but I've seen it done. It works great until RNG works against you in every possible way. And yes...I've seen that happen too. Sux to wipe to RNG because your group wants to take shortcuts and speed up the fight. You'll know when to actually shoot the cannon at the boss because you'll see more text on the screen from the boss and the most obvious is the bubble that appears around the boss. Your cannon bursts that bubble and flips the boss on it's back so the dps can do increased damage without dealing with other boss mechanics for a short period.

So in short, use lever to summon cannon, step next to cannon and hit F to interact with it and mount up, use ASWD to aim the cannon (move red circle on the ground until boss is inside circle), then wait for bubble, left click to fire cannon once bubble appears, hit 1 to exit cannon until you see the "somone was blinded" emote again.

I also heard there is a 10 minute cooldown after doing one? I maybe wrong through.




Based on all current and previous indicators, EmE will probably set it up so if you go with a premade group it'll have a 2 hour cooldown, but if you use LFG it'll only have a 1 hour cooldown. 10mins? When has EmE ever allowed us to do something so soon after having already done it? Do you even play this game?




Holy [filtered] balls Arturous! 6 pound 1 ounce baby jesus is crying RIGHT NOW because you thought of this and your completely correct.



There going to put PvP que's on a timer just like the dungeons. NOOO [filtered], if there is a CD on some PvP? That will be the last straw for this guy. I cant take anymore CoolDowns and PvE for PvP gear.




are u that easy to be trolled?seriously lol. that would kill the game , even the 10min cd after completing will have ppl QQIng, i forsee a 5min cd or something after finishing tbh nothing more or maybe no cd at all .


You don't really play Tera do you? How can you possibly believe this? EmE doesn't feel they owe the players uninterrupted gameplay. In fact, they've proven exactly the opposite. They go out of their way to slow down progression and make it so everything you want to do takes a long time to accomplish. Look, I've enjoyed Tera since Beta. I still play Tera. But I'm realistic and know how EmE goes about countering the lack of content by now. There's no other explanation for forcing pre-made groups to sit through an extra hour cooldown to run dungeons. They know pre-mades have a higher chance of success, so they tack on an extra hour cooldown to decrease the chance to acquire the drops/rewards you want. And Nexus only on weekends? It's not rocket science dude. History has a tendency to repeat itself. EmE has become predictable.

I logged in for about 3mins last night. Lag was horrible. They had to have been doing some crazy stuff to make it lag that bad. Certainly wasn't enough players to cause it. I only saw one other player character during my very brief visit.

dear op, please, for the love of god, do not use "dps" as a role or verb, as it is neither. DD or damage dealer is the correct term, "dps" is a unit of measurement not a role or action.


Dear OP posting in the OPs post. DPS may not be the term you use to identify a character that deals damage, but it has been widely accepted and used in many MMORPGs before now. What makes you the end all decision maker on how we identify damage dealers in Tera? Oh, that's right, I forgot. Internet anonymity gives everyone the right to be the only person who's opinion matters. How silly of me.

And to all the people bashing the post originator for clearing a HM with over-geared characters, your epeen makes me tingle in awe. /sarcasm

Grow up for crying out loud people. All the OP was trying to say, is people are being ridiculous kicking certain classes because they aren't the highest damage class. It may take longer, but the content is clearable without the perfect set-up if you don't suck. Stop sucking and demanding the perfect set-up to carry you.

Considering how much EME pushed BAM fighting as being *the* defining characteristic outside of the no-target combat, I'm kind of sad how inconsequential BAM quests are.

If I had it my way, BAM quests would have been the primary/fastest method of leveling characters (encouraged grouping, it's called multiplayer for a reason) by giving good rewards and huge chunks of XP, instead of giving usually a few coins and a pittance of XP.


^^ This X1000.

BAMs are epic battles, and groups should be rewarded accordingly. They aren't, and people got tired of wasting time with them. Now, some people still enjoy soloing BAMs for the challenge. But trying to put a group together just to get 54k xp and a few silvers to kill 5 level 40 BAMs.....yeah...no! I did every BAM quest while leveling up my Mystic, but I was leveling with a Lancer and Sorc, so it was easy, we always had a group, and the BAM kills were good enough xp to make it worth it since we didn't have to wait to form a group. But I solo leveled my Archer, and skipped 90% of the BAM quests. You know what? I hit 60 and never felt like I'd missed anything.
My Berzerker is currently lvl 45 and I've solo'd probably 70% of the BAM quests, well...because I can. It's taking me a LOT longer to level my Berzerker, but I wasn't ever really intending to race to 60 with him anyway. He was always more of a "when I got nothing else to do", BAM soloing, and eventually money farming toon.
40 hours is a lot of time, I wonder how many I've put in trying to get from +8 to +9 on my T12 bow? I know it's been about 3 weeks. Yesterday I failed 6 attempts. I haven't been keeping track of how many total, but I bet it's getting close if not past 50 attempts to get from +8 to +9. And that's on my T12. Consider yourself fortunate to be working on your T13 already! Yes, this RNG based enchanting system sux. But tbh, I can't find a game out there that interests me enough to pull me away from Tera..........yet.

Priests are pretty overpowered.

Try leveling a mystic solo


Priests are only overpowered in pvp, in pve, they are UNDERPOWERED.

Mystics, in fact, have a dominance over priests in PvE due to their ability to summon THRALLS.

L2understand what I AM POINTING OUT HERE.

Seriously, am I missing something here? Are you reading a different post?

Can you not understand what PvE means? PvE: PLAYER VS. ENVIRONMENT
PvP: PLAYER VS. PLAYER.

PROBLEM LIES IN THE DOMAIN OF: PLAYER VS. ENVIRONMENT.
REASON: SLOW, LOW MOBILITY, WEAK.

What is the END GOAL? To REACH LVL 60 HAPPY, WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE BECAUSE YOU PAY TO PLAY.

MEANS TO THE END? ANNOYING AND IRRITATING.


Well, anyone who's actually played a Mystic now knows you are either trolling, or sadly misinformed.....Mystics have dominance due to their thralls? Really? ROFL! Mystic thralls are crap, utter useless crap. Sure the tanking Thrall has a lot of HPs and pretty decent knockdown rate, but it hits like a wet noodle (like the Mystic) and doesn't even hold aggro well. The rest are even more of a joke!
