Raiding Mystic Thread

[KFizzle]

Now this is the penultimate for the mystic info threads, containing gear and AA for the 'raider.' Of course there would be 'differences' from people as this is such a varied class, but we can do our best to try to highlight the 'must haves' amongst things, along with the whys.

As with the other two we need gear and AA spec and it will be sexied up when im not at work, and hopefully yall will have done some of the "OMG YOU GOTTA HAVE _____" type of things so i have a 'starting point' when it comes to compiling this.

well no mystic is complete without a good cloak:


sadly I don't know if the quest is offered anymore :/

So is this a good post for questions too?

What I wanna know is what do you guys do about power. I only seem to have problems in raids on boss fights, but a damn coercer, even with a dirge can't seem to keep me in power.

Is there a magical power proc item that'll fix us up? And oh yeah, I do use the clickacle mythy when i get low on power (which is pretty kick ass BTW), but it rarely seems to be enough.

[nyquist]

I usually keep a few power roots from the KoS (or whatever expansion it was...) house plant. I also have a manastone and alchemist made power potions. This and always grouping with a chanter and a bard keeps me pretty much full on any fights
However, if the fight will be long AND heal intensive, I generally swap over to my


for the awesome proc.

But if your chanter is slacking (or MIA for some reason), power roots are the key. Get one from each tier and you get something like 10+12+15+20+25% power total, so between that and your myth clicky you get two (almost) full power replenishes.




Edit: Also don't over heal as much (also watch your wards if you don't already to wait for them to get low before recasting), and don't refresh your DoTs and debuffs until they expire. Also try and get shards/hearts if you run with a summoner :P and power feeds are nice from locks and wizzies (as long as they are nice as well as not complete parse junkies)

And don't take offense if you already do this stuff :P I'm just stating everything (even that which you likely do already :D)

yeah you can use these threads for questions (Why not? :-) ) but to answer your question there are some items you can use, Ny put the pondwash belt which i still use because i havent gotten any of the super cool belts for my mystic, but besides that theres a neck item from Kultak the Cruel which is sweet for power.

Other than those two, manastone and this other inexorable bangle (excuse the spelling, i'm at work and its in my bags) which i use on certain accounts, i am forced to rely on power potions and the goodness of the mages and regen on the raid. Our power consumption is crazy on longer fights. I've learned though to use potions, manastone, the myth thing and with those procs from the pond wash belt and the bangle (if i'm wearing it strictly for additional group power) i can 'get by' on just about every fight.

Get a troub to JCAP you before you hit your mythical clicky will bring recast time on it down to 2minutes 25seconds or so.

Get into Tunaria Throne Room. Get 2/3 jewelry items for the set bonus. This alone will keep u full if you watch for the proc icon and cast debuffs while its up, beneficial will cancel the power proc.

Item from Kultak is the Cruel Trinket of Treachery. Most guilds can kill this mob.

Trakanon cloak. Ring of Scale Elder's Cloak. Hit clicky then hit your group ward or group heal as those are the biggest power requirement spells.

Essence of Clarity potions. Power Roots.

[Kaizer_Sosay]

Full Blown Heal Spec, 0 Self DPS build. Self Buffed Heal Crit over 85%.
Will explain choices further in future.

There are 2 items that are a must have for power.
1) \aITEM -160059843 -2102366618:Cruel Trinket of Treachery\/a from Kultak
2) \aITEM -124004185 -1415524174:Girdle of Mistmyrian Legacy\/a from Zarrakon

Mistmyrian Girdle is the pond wash proc on steroids. Even after the proc nerf it's still badass. Due to this belt, on most fights I dont use the Cruel Trinket any longer. I use the neck out of WoE \aITEM 969483148 1255599077:Sapphire Gemmed Necklace\/a for the alacrity IV

After power drains, as long as I have enough power to to cast a couple group heals and group wards, I will slowly refill my power while spam casting. I spam my group heal (unless I know I am going to need it after the AE lands) and this will slowly INCREASE my power over time. I notice on trash when I am DPS'ing the swashy and the templar will go OOP if we're chain pulling mobs in Palace or SoH.

BTW I usually have CH as I am in the MT group.

[kyrrah]

Don't forget Overclocked Manastones for tinkerers and the relics/signets that give power.

[foozlesprite]

Items that I love in combo (for healing):

\aITEM 733583127 1356004522:Totem of the Ankexfen\/a RE2 Standards of the Goblin Tribes collection (blue shinies)

\aITEM 592925683 -7337559:The Arm of Erollisi\/a Claymore quest reward, sadly the cure proc no longer helps but the +heal/ward is really nice to have proc

\aITEM -559966266 2051900139:Rune Etched Helm\/a Dreadlord D'Somni (Shard of Hate) Not as good as it was pre-proc/crit nerf but still excellent

\aITEM 2007998423 1561213652:Star of Malice\/a The sisters in Shard of Hate. Great proc, when you have time to melee (dps set, on trash). The 3 pets heal, ward, and AOE prevent for your group, which is great for groups wearing chokers/jewels.

\aITEM -305449863 -1749295877:Cudgel of Obviation\/a Duh.
