Dear Developer(s) we know you can't respond on this site but we know that theres a little chance you will read this.

Please don't take this as an insult this is a post, not trying to convince you but to point out to some issues we experiencing.

Mystic Epic:
I absoluetly love this weapon. It has a few drawbacks why we dislike it though and theres a simple sollution.

Looks: The biggest issue people have with it weither they find it ugly or not, it isn't a spear.

This can be easily solved. make us a dual weild class and /or another could be to make it equipable in Secondary/ranged.


Mystic Set armor:

The set armor is suppoosed to be our best armor to get. It drops in Veeshans Peak, a zone alot of the community haven't even seen yet.
I did see it from beginning to end and haven't bid on a single piece of mystic set armor that dropped, as its more aimed at a spell casting.
mystic which :

A) 95% of us is not and B) The armor we found in T1,T2 and T3 is way better then any piece of that except for the boots maybe.

Things the set misses:

The set doesn't have a single effect that decreases Reuse timers or cast timers which is something that could be added easily.

Secondly there is not a single bit of Strength on the set which hurts our melee dps alot.

things which are to be fround at:
+spell damage
+spell crit chance

Simply changing these set bonusses into +CA and melee crit chance would be no sollution.

Things like overloaded heal and +heal crits or if you want it more dps-ish decrease cast timers of hostiles/ca's would be a good option.


----------------------
Background information why we like the above better then what you gave us.

About every mystic on the PVE server(s) takes as AA choice in the mystic aa line:

Augmentation: all the way down to Ancestry
Combat: All the way down to tribal rage

Then comes the differentation we either pick Ressurection line or Immunities. I haven't met a single mystic that didn't pick the combat line if you can point me out one I would like to meet that person and discuss his choice as maybe I am missing something that person can tell me.

I won't discuss the Shaman line as no matter what choices you make in there you still prefer you CA over spells, the CA's are faster and hit harder and can be easily cast between heals (which are long cast pita's)

How to (quick) solve some of the Mystic issues

In raids, I'm not specced the combat line. Granted, the melee spec is on my mirror, but since I went from the 3rd shaman to the 2nd shaman in my guild's raid force, I hardly ever load it. The reason I used it before, was being in a scout or mage group I didn't have to heal much. Now, being 1 or 2 shaman in the guild, I run in the OT group, sometimes in the MT group and found it's better for me to be specced differently. Between healing my tank, my group and keeping debuffs on the mob, there's no need for me to dps.

I am happy to see you made a spec that suits you, I do think your unique now and thats what they promised with AA to make your character Unique. I don't see the use in faster rezzes, aoe rezzes.

In a raid force that is learning encounters I can imagine you would pick it.

In time you will probably agree with me that there isn't much to do for a second group shaman (on trash) and start hitting mobs for more raidwide dps. Do I love my mystic for that? oh yes! when theres no need for healing I can do not to bad dps. And when the fights get tough we are a great healing class. I truly feel a Bear Shaman.... oh wait thats that funcom thingy.

changing the epic to effectively require a specific aa line is a bad idea imo. Its been done on other epics and restricts choice.

But that's kinda what they did with set armor. They made it to specifically leave out an aa spec (which happens to be the spec a majority of us use).

I'm the OT shaman. I fiddled w/a healer only spec for all of two days. It made no improvement on my healing ability.
I'm the opposite of the poster above I suppose. I have a heal spec on my mirror, but I don't use it.

I didn't think it made a difference either until I used the spec for an aoe encounter (to make things easier on healing my grp if we could avoid the ae) and as I was going through the ACT log, I realized that Aura of Warding procs a hell of a lot.

ok so mabyi am missing something but why not just make it a 1 hander spear if u want a spear lol not like there weren't any before but then again if u think u can trick them into letting us duel wield i am all for it lol

For the +spell dmg you guys do know that you see extra dps from it on the combat arts that have a Dot componet. +Combat art dmg is a bit better. +spell/combat art is the best
