I wasn't going to say anything, but couldn't resist. And this is very tongue in cheek.... so don't take it too seriously. I BEG.

'This time finally comes at the end of this July...'. I presume from the English that the writer is not English. So the sentence reads if interpreted properly that 'This time' is to come 'finally' at the end of July. There is no descriptive or explanation of what ' This time ' is and or why it 'finally' has arrived. There is no subject to the sentence and thus makes no sense to me. I have read the line over and over and over and I just cannot reason with what the purpose of the line is. 'This time' and 'finally' presume a subject like say This time, finally, trifle comes at the end of July. You missed a word I think. Sorry to be pedantic but it frustrates me, as with so many things about this game, how badly the transposing of the game for multi regional use gets interpreted.

If the sentence presumes a previous descriptive to explain its purpose then it would simply read 'blah blah blah ... this time' with a small letter to 'this'. I think the thing that confuses is the term 'finally' . I just don't understand why something is finally coming. Has there been some issue with delays... that is assuming that the reference subject is Patch 83.

I sense the purpose of this announcent was to say something like, cinema talk .... ' LURKING DANGER is coming to a cinema near you the end of July 2019 ' OR say The long awaited LURKING DANGER is finally here and arrives the end of July 2019 ' ... but not 'This time finally comes at the end of July'...... it's not a sentence.

Sorry I'm just bored... half way through my daily trudge to move my XP bar by 2% and thought I would check out the new content to see if there was anything I could look forward to to ease the pain of levelling. Sadly not. So no 'finally' on the horizon for me just yet. Would be magic to get some actual open word content as I progress past my 68 'n' half mark. But hey.

Just joking by the way... I'm sure it made sense to everyone else.

PS there really is nothing wrong with the level process from 1 to 60. It's like bonkers easy. The problem is 65 to 70 which isn't hard its just BORING and takes way too long.. Shame there wasn't some way to make that more fluid , fun, interesting and less of a grind. I just have this picture of masses of players steaming along at full speed rushing like a speeding train into the brick wall that is Level 65. The first time they do a quest at 65 and see just how the XP bar does not move I can hear them utter the phrase 'wtf'. Took me a couple of days to get from 0 to 65 and then three months so far to get to 68 and a bit. I'm still trying, I really am. I am a 2% fiend.. that's all I manage in a day. Only 37 days left to Level 69 whoo hooo !.

And I know... ' I don't do dungeons ' Silly me. What am I like... etc etc. Here is the thing.. I came back to Tera cus I got sick and tired of waiting all day for WoD, Legion and BfA dungeons to PoP. I was doing TimeWalking for Cata and even they take like 45 minutes.. during the day. So I run around in Tera and am amazed at how many players I see stuck in one location for hours never moving from a spot and I presume they are waiting for dungeons. No idea. Not interested. Don't play a game to wait... I'm done doing that.

You never know the streamlining of 0 to 60 content may be an effort to get more players into them end game dungeons. So to the guy standing there is Tria... Don't give up mate.. help is on the way ' finally' and its coming at the end of July .... 'Hurrah !!!'

Better go before I get into even more trouble .... How you dooin ?

Quite a while back now the game forced me to delete half my characters due to server merges. I tried very hard to move what I could to the temporary bank. Thing is loads of items were already in my bank from deleted characters . However most items that were linked to deleted characters are still there and I cannot delete them. The game refuses to delete items that were the property of other characters even though they have been assigned to current characters. Like all my gunners guns that were. I don't have a gunner now but the game refuses to let me delete them. Can anyone explain the procedure for deleting items from the bank from deleted characters.

The CLUB MOUNT is still broken

The gane creators broke it. They did it when the club bar changed a few 'MONTHS' ago. And its been reported since then and still not working. And so maintenance is pretty meaningless really unless it means something else. Isn't it about time we actually started fixing stuff to make players enjoy the game and use the facilities we are evidently paying for. Don't you think.

Just to summarise. I have the 'mount' function linked to the LETTER R and I have the LETTER R button on the short cust bar at the bottom of the screen. I have two slots next to each other with the other vacant empty and no link attached. Each day I drag and drop the mount that is in the CLUB MOUNT hot bar to the Letter R. And any time thereafter if I have to log out when I come back the mount is no longer on the action bar or shortcut. Worse is that if I don't put another mount copy into the adjacent vacant slot the game forces a shortcut for dismount that actually doesn't work. It gets confused. So I have to make sure that vacant slot which is un assigned is filled with something so I use a copy of the mount from my CLUB MOUNT BAR. Problem is that if I have to log in or out cus of another bug, say like the WRATH just cycling through wandering off when I fire him up I have to remember to move the mount to the action bar shortcut. If I don't and use say dissassemble or accept rewards the CLUB BAR vanishes and I have to log in and log out again and then have to move the club mount again. Man does this get tedious. And I thought I would repeat the whole thing here to make the point of just how frustrating this all is and yet its never fixed.

The problem is that I USE the shortcuts the game has assigned for mount and dismount for other activities and I aint about to change them. So F1 is both dismount and Thrall of Protection. And the mount... is R and assigned as such but the game tries to do something else all the time and then just gets confused. It never use to be like this. It use to work withiut fault. It use to remember the mount being assigned to R. Nothing more annoying than hitting a button that does nothing when you need you mount. Duh ! Anyway.. I have nothing else to do during maintenance... so How you doin ?

Hi

Yeh I know. Sadly not something I am ever going to do. Shame its not possible to level in this game anymore to cap using conventional story based questing, like how it use to be. Never mind. I've hung up my Tera hat now and playing a more conventional MMOs where I can actually quest at a reasonable pace and level my way to cap without having to do dungeons. Its not like I don't do dungeons in other games. Just that I play Mystic cus its the only class that I like in this game, but hate healing. I was able to level and do reasonable damage with the Mystic up to level 65 but that all died. So without any conventional means of levelling, doing damage and having fun, I have now given up with Tera. I will cancel the club cus its no use to me..... I did try again tonight but its just not enjoyable. When I quest I like to see the XP bar rise. Also its nice having actual content and zones to explore as part of the levelling process... again like how it use to be in Tera. Just not the game I remember sadly.

Time to move on. Never mind.

Maybe they don't anticipate you needing to be that skilled just yet as there is nothing to do in game that warrants it. Dunno I don't actually level the advanced skills cus I only got 11 advancement points by level 68 anyway. At this rate it would have taken me over six months just to level the Boomerang skill... which is useless anyway. I got bored so I gave up.

Quote from Cyberion

Either you ignored my answer in the other thread where you asked about the other scrolls and/or you have the memory of a gold fish. Anyways here my answer from back then that still applies with the relevant part highlighted in bold

And still in Tera you earn money by doing what you are supposed to do: Clear dungeons in a party and as mystic be the healer/support for your party. You are playing an MMO skipping the multiplayer part.

But you see I was able to kill stuff until Level 65. I had never any issue killing stuff till Level 65. I had an excellent rotation using my Smite and Blast and careful dodge using my Jaunt and working of the Thrall. The game did use to be a skill based targeting game where I could dodge and weave and literally kill whole fields of mobs. I was able to do dungeons on my own and had cleared all but the very last one prior to levelling 60 to 65. And again 60 to 65 was easy.

I chose the class because its the closest I could get to Justicar or say Mage, though less the mage. More the offensive priest. It involves using the Prot, dotting getting in close, knowing when to jump and adjust the position. Checking the Prots health and making sure I heal in good time. But getting the best side of the mob or mobs and then hitting them hard . Worked and gave me no reason to give up on the Mystic.

And then I hit 65 and the first time I went into battle... Smite and Blast no longer worked. What I was given were four basic skills that were RNG nonsense that is totally out of my control. I get augment my thralls... which only blessing is the instant on the Prot, but he doesn't last ten seconds and wont attack flying stuff like butterflies. Next I get the Wrath on a 1.20 cool down that has a mind of its own and does the most bonkers things. The exploding mana and health balls... like that is skill based. And the worst the doom bouncy castle that only does a good amount of damage on the final blast. All thes things need a tank to hold the mobs and I do not have one now. I play tank.

So I now I wait 1.20 or 8 minutes, target the mobs, dot, wait till on me after launching the Prot. Lock and hold, fire up the Wrath and or Doom on 7m stick up a warding and then just try with blast and smite but without auras as the burn my mana and then use my character as a tank to take damage to try and stop the mobs leaving the circle. If all goes well I will have killed the mobs in seconds and I can then retire and wait again for 1.2 minutes and rinse and repeat. If it fails as it often does I just get out of there and come back later. I have no other skill based targetable attacks.

And I know Mystic is a support based healer. Not interested. I can just about do stuff as a solo now but its tediously annoying.

Scrolls only improve healing based skills, which I just don't ever use. So that is why I throw them all away. My gripe is that this content 65 to 70 has no real content that allows you to level using story based content like in any other MMO. You are forced to do dungeons cus there aint nothing else. Or do the 3% per day daily quests and get use to 30 days a level. That's fine. I just play other stuff when I'm done. It's no biggy. Just a shame the game destroyed the targetable skill based Mystic that I loved and gave me the bouncy catle to play with. I get by.

Finally I don't actually need gold cus I don't enchant cus I don't need the gear and I don't need the scrolls. Its a simple process of levelling with what I got and making do. I log all my activity and simply try each day to improve on my score from the previous day doing the daily quests. The score is the percentage XP gain for the day. Yesterday it was 3.96% and the day before 3.73 and before that 3.61. That is the only figure that matters. I create my own rules in games and my own targets. Always have. In 4.75 days I will be 68. I guarantee, and then I'll start again. Simple maths. I play my Tera with a character that is best placed to heal and damage deal to get thro the XP to cap solo.

I play solo. Always have. Always will. Anyway I'm off to Nazjatar now with my 120 mage and silver tabby cat to jump jelly fish eveidently in WoW. I think we are in maint here on Tera. Man is Warcraft junk these days. But hey just a game. I do have a gold-fish pet in WoW... So funny. I love gaming.

Makyu there should be a special section in this forum just for your posts because they are all so amusing to read!

Glad you find them amusing. What I find more amusing is that there is so little on the web about levels 65 to 70 and I literally bumble along each and every day trying to work stuff out. Here are a few to amuse you further:

I get items drop, of varying type each and every day but they are for enchanting I guess. I have so many different types. Just litter the bank so I have to throw them away. I have been playing since May 2013 and had a very large amount of characters at one time. When they merged I had to delete half my chars.

Come this time around and I decided I wanted to empty the temporary bank. So I relunctantly sold lots of my stuff. BUT all the weapons and stuff for the gunner I deleted along with a number of other characters will not let me delete from the bank. So have all this stuff that I cannot delete.

I then sold all my collected items but with six other Level 65 chars sharing the bank I am full. So I am trying to work out what to keep and what to throw away.

I cannot enchant anything cus I have no gold. I don't make any gold. No gold drops from daily quests. I get a modest amount from say relics I sell and infusion items and 500 from fishing and thats it. But the literal thousands I need to just lift an item by one is beyond me. So I don't bother. But still I have banks full of stuff I collect every day. Endless scrolls etc

So today after I had again been struggling as a Mystic doing the quests and completing them all as I do, I was again gifted these optimization scrolls. And they do not anywhere say what they do. I go on Google and nothing. And I come here, but the forum is pretty dead. I still have no idea what they do so I threw them away.

I actually enjoy Tera but I only play MMOs on my own. I have been in the new zone in Warcraft all night with one of my Level 120s. I do do dungeons in Warcraft but hate them. Other players just annoy the pants out of me. Always moaning, grumbling and do the most annoying of things. I prefer playing on my own as I do in Guild Wars, B&S and Archeage.

Shame there isn't an ingame help and a more active YouTube videos for current mystic rotations. But hey... I play hours each day and do things my way. Aint pretty but I get by. Nearly 68 now and then no doubt the trudge to 69. Onward.

Levelling doesn't make any difference any way. I never get any stronger. So matters not in the end. In future if I don't know what it is I'm gonna throw it away. Much easier.

Quote from Cr4-19

Have u reached Lvl 66 yet?

They're useless before that.

You should keep them, tho

I'm just about to hit Level 68 and I have like two advanced skills to level with scrolls that are useless to me. And since getting to 67 and doing the daily stuff all I get are these oprimazation scrolls which don't say anything about what they do.

What are they for ? And how are they used ?

Update: I couldn't find anything on Google about these things and no response here and I so need the bank space so Its safe to throw them away. Obviously nothing of use as there is nothing described in game or even here.

OK problem solved.

Hi

What do Optimization scrolls actually do. I have 460 of these things and I get them every day. It says nothing on the tool tip as to what they actually do. Just says Optimize my skills... but how and what. All help appreciated.

Mystel. Can someone put the plug back in. Use another socket for the kettle.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Quite a bit there for me to consider.

The problem for me is the kill cycle is just so slow. Basically cus I am waiting on my big hitters to do some damage. With just one mob and 1.20 minute cooldown I can take down a butterfly in seconds. If I try more than one mob I have a high chance of missing one and then I am just running round and round and round till the wrath is back up. Worse when mobs just scatter like the hyenas. They are the worst. Easiest are the trees and the rock things... and I kinda don't mind basilikas. But butterflies.... man are they annoying. They will fly up and the wrath cannot see them and will just stop doing anything.

I actually loved my smite and blast till Apex/Awakening as they are skill based attacks. They target and let me control the attack what with jaunt and clever use of the prot thrall. The stuff I have now is not skill based as it relies on the things I have doing their job and that isns't in my control.

I was thinking about stun. But with so many other things going on with say butterflies its difficult to mix. But I'll try today.

Thanks for that. Just wish the XP bar would move a little faster.

Hi

I am now closing in on Level 68 and struggle still dreadfully with attack rotations. Its not that I can't kill stuff, its just that I have to wait for the Wrath or the Lord to do any damage.

If any Mystic is happy to disclose their secrets on how to take down multiple mobs at speed I would really appreciate it.

I have particular problems with say Hyenas and Butterflies and any mobs that move around a lot. The butterflies are a problem cus the Wrath will lose the mobs as soon as they fly up into the air and just stand there looking at me. And Hyenas there is nothing I can do to cluster them so any of my big hitters do nothing. Also with the Basilikas the Wrath will at times just wander off and go for a glide up the zone.

So this is what I am having to do. I use the pots to try and stop mana bleed. But am unable to use any of the Auras as when I use Smite and Blast the mana just runs down the plughole.

I dot the mobs with curses and contagion which I think is just habit forming as it appears to do little damage. I then send in the Wrath. Fingers crossed he does his job cus if anything is left running about I cannot do any damage with Smite and Blast. Its no point chucking balls at them cus you don't get that luxury. My protection thrall lasts all of ten seconds in any battle and then I'm just having to keep myself alive till I can get him back up.

The Lord is on 8 minutes and the bouncy castle as I call him really needs a good tank to hold mobs cus they just run out of the circle. Its often just a waste of time. I have no way it seems of holding the mobs. I can do the rocks generally cus they are slow.

I did start training the boomerang but that is a waste of time and gold. It kinda does some damage but not very much.

I see plenty of players at my level, including Mystics rounding up mobs and killing them all. For me I get two or three basilikas together and launch the Wrath and he does such a random attack sequence chances are at least one of the mobs runs out and then I'm stuffed cus I can't kill anything with Smite and Blast cus the mana just drains out. The Thrall of Protection is only good for a few seconds and he has the habit of running the mob off into another.

I would love to be able to take on several mobs and hold them and deal some heavy damage. I have stood there chucking balls at mobs but sadly it just doesn't do anything other than raise the mob to attack me.

I basically only have four attack spells. Arunic which I still can't get any damage from. Lord on an 8 minute. Wrath on 1.20 minutes and then my Boomerang/Smite/Blast which I lump together as they pretty much do nothing. I need to hold the mobs and then hit them hard. I just run around and around and around the hyenas and then turn and Wrath and rinse and repeat.

Have I missed a spell or is there anyway to have shorter cast times for the Lord and Wrath. I have the wrath glyphed out. There is no training for these skills that I can implement by the look of it.

LIke I say at the moment I am forced to just sit out killing stuff till the Wrath is available. I then pull as many as I feel comfortable with and then run round them till the wrath has done its job. The bouncy castle can be used on only static mobs. Or where I am comfortable a cluster may hold. Still painfully slow though. And the butterflies are impossible. The Wrath is definitely attracted to mobs on the horizontal. I have noticed when a mob goes up a sharpish incline he will often miss completely or ignore the mob totally. None of these skills are actual skills as they rely on luck for the most part. I have little if no control over the thralls or the mobs so I just keep my fingers crossed. Its just a shame that my Smite and Blast don't work anymore.

Sorry for the long post. I cannot find anything really on the internet or YouTube for Mystic showing actual rotations in the field. I know what the stuff does from target dummies. I need a video of someone using and explaining their rotations 65 to 70. Preferably killing hyenas or Murderwings.

Many thanks. I am still bleeding mana but not using Auras is the only way to stop it I found. I just use the Everful Nostrum and don't use Blast and Smite so much. Old habits.

The ongoing saga of the Club mount issue and today I log in and they have fiddled again... I have done nothing since yesterday when the dismount did use to be associated with the F1 key which they assigned. Today I go to dismount and NOTHING. So I look at the icon for dismount and its bottom right and now associated with a key that I don't use and has no number / letter associated with it.

I give up. It's pathetic. Seriously. So now I have to press ALT and then click the icon to dismount. They are just going out of their way to be annoying. I have done nothing. Messed with nothings, changed nothing. But its different now every single day. This is the worse than its ever been. Crazy bonkers.

Quote from Zancara

Yes because we all know that regional and patch changes are the same and they are both easy to fix... Please let's be serious with certain comments... Regional changes are easy to fix, but if the bug is coming with the patch then it takes more time to fix, as it is the club mount.

~Zancara

But there was nothing wrong with the mount about four/five maintenance periods ago. This has been going on for weeks and weeks. So from actually removing the facility to lock your mount to a shortcut, they then decide with the next maintenance that irrespective of the shortcut they 'NOW' make it that the dismount will no longer be associated with the mount. Instead you have to use their given location of that function. AND THEN having done that, since they first busted it they now make it so that when you do any functions from the inventory the Club Hotbar vanishes completely. The only way to get it back is to mount up and dismount. Trouble is if I haven't for the gzilionth time moved the mount to my shortcut after login I have to now logout and log back in to use the club hotbar for the other functions on there.

They knew it was busted and then they did something else to make it even worse. And now its a complete mess. Wouldn't the simple thing to do be to revert the bar back to where it was while they sort out a fix.

Sorry the logic doesn't stack up cus in the last two maintenance periods thay have been doing something cus its even more broken now. And there is a thread running on the technical forum about the problem.

So yay to making some dungeon fix but still couldn't be bothered to fix the club mount which I pay for. They managed to break it even more from a week ago and now the whole club action bar vanishes when you perform certain tasks and only way to get back is to mount up and then get off. Sadly the getting off button isn't the same as the getting on. I mean come on that would be like too easy now wouldn't it.

My guess is they just can't be bothered. I just put up with it.

Here is the thing I'll cancel the sub so I don't get the annoyance and when the team get round to fixing it I'll come back. How does that sound.

They don't fix stuff. Is all I see. Which is why I say they just don't care.

It gets worse. Now you have to still put the club mount on the shortcut but whereas before the dismount was associated with the mount so my R button did both.. EACH AND EVERY TIME I mount the dismount button changes back to some silly default button. I mean come on.. we do this keyboard thing by reflex. We don't look at the icon and at times it is so important doing this at speed.

Do you even care. Seems like the game goes out of its way to make life a misery. What was wrong with it two patches ago. It was working fine. Now its a complete mess.

Not expecting any help. May as well dump the Tera club as I seem to be getting less and less benefit all the time.

SO annoying. seriously

I wish somewhere in game there was an explanation of Skill Advancement Scrolls. I've started throwing them away as I have like 1114 in the bank. I am assuming that is what you are talking about. The only thing that happens when I click them is they want to turn into another scroll that I have no idea what its for.

I get these skill upgrades fighting ( I am Level 67 ) and over the period I have accumulated 5 points. Trouble is the advanced skills I seem to be able to advance are Boomerang at Level 66 which I never use as it does nothing. And now Titanic Favor which I have never used. Worse is that they need 3000 gold. From my daily runs that I do in Tria, Tralion and now Essenia I make 20 to 100 gold from odd drops. Sometimes I actually have less gold than I started with. You get nothing at all from quest rewards. Most I make is 500 gold from fishing. So I'm not likely to waste 3000 gold on a skill that I don't use. Shame I can't sell these adventure coins as I never use them.

So what else can I do with these scrolls or should I just throw them away. Like I say I assume that these are the scrolls you talk of. How are they used to improve my skills. Cus as a Mystic I do not now have any actual attack based skills that do damage. They are all random nonsense that you keep your fingers crossed will actually damage something... like the bouncy castle, wrath of stupidity and lets play bursting balloons. Time was I actually had targeted skill based attacks not this nonsense.. So if I could get back some real damage dealing from skill based attacks I'd be over the moon but I just can't find any information what so ever on how to do so.

I'm not interested in dungeons and healing I just want to kill stuff like I use to be able to before I got to Level 65+ and that awakening nonsense. Hoping your bouncy castle is going to land on a dozen running around Hyenas just aint fun. Also on an 8 minute cool down... And watching your Wrath of Stupidity just stop what he's doing and then ignore the mobs isn't any fun either. ... ( 1.20 minute cool down ) I aint got anything else. Well other than throwing balls at stuff and hoping they will stay on top of them when I explode them. Doesn't work either.

So if these scrolls can really help please I'm begging can anyone please tell me how to use them cus there is nothing in game that explains. It just says Level 66 skill slot.. which is Boomerang. Which is about as useful as ... er thinks.. nothing. It does hardly anything. Kinda pointless really. If I got any in Essenia I probably threw them away as I can't do that area as a Mystic. Trying to down over 30 hyenas that random drop skins and take me all day to kill isn't what I call fun. Like I say the bouncy castle just doesn't even get close to any of them. And yesterday the Wrath stopped fighting and just glided off into the sunset. If I leave even one mob up I cannot kill it with my Smite and Blast or anything else for that matter. Maybe I could hit them with the scrolls.

All help appreciated.

So how do you get your gold to do all this enchanting. I don't make anything like what is needed. Nothing at all from daily quests.

I have always had the club mount on my action bar under the R key and now each time I log I have to keep putting it back. Most times I forget and so when I go to fire up the mount its not there. And its kinda frustrating and only started after the last patch.

By the way nothing else is set to use the R key. And its been working no problem up to now.

Few things and then I will shut up.

I will have to raise a technical query regarding the mana drain cus there is something very wrong. With nothing active there should not be mana drain and spell icons cycling. Nuff said. The only two items active are the crystal protect and some buff that is there all the time with the sword icon. But nothing else. I am standing in the city and just puzzled why the icons for the thralls are rolling round when the augment is not active. I just log and it clears. Difficult to do when you are fighting though.

Second... I have played mystic without issue for years and I play my style of play. I chain stuff and have never had an issue killing mobs. I am aware of blowing up the mana and health balls. My goodness what an exciting style of game play firing off balls and then blowing them up. I also have the Wrath that has a mind of its own and bounces around like a demented jack in the box. Plus the doom thing that well is like very elegant [ not ] and on endless cooldown. Shame they changed the interface cus it really mucked up my chains.

Here is the thing for like 1 to 65 I never ever had an issue taking on mobs with my Thrall face to face blast to smite to blast to smite. It was fast and furious. I never have been a caster as Mystic I fight with my scepter like a warrior with a sword. I have battled every BAM.. and that was in a time when BAMs were BAMs and not the nonsense we have today ... with my weapon to my hand smashing away. I have never had an issue rounding up whole areas and circling them all and taking them out in one or two blows. All the way to 65. Infact 60 to 65 was a piece of cake compared to some of the later areas in the 1 to 60 zones. But I fear nothing and never have.

Fast forward to today and after the Apex Awakening nonsense... and I now have mana loss and my smite and blast do nothing. Nothing at all. I was trying again to kill boars today and its was just pathetic. I am using everything I have including dropping the odd balls but if that is what Mystic has become and my weapon is never going to perform the way it was then I am outa here. I have worked my socks off to try and get the gzillion stuff to upgrade this thing but if when it reaches its peak I will not be able to kill stuff like I was from 1 to 65 then I will just hang up my stick. I have loved my game as Mystic but now its been crippled and I am forced to stop playing the way I have always played. I can suatain any amount of damage I can pull every boar in the area. I can keep hammering away endlessly. I can even stop with two dozen mobs there and do a dance and pick flowers. I aint gonna die. For sure though I aint gonna kill 'em with my stick anymore. Its busted for good me thinks.

The biggest joy for me playing Mystic was the toe to toe stuff, predicting the boss/mobs movement, dodging the attacks and then smacking them so hard I knock them over. No matter how big they are. Its been a real load of fun walking into any arena of battle and fighting stuff with my Thrall. Shame it had to end. Very sad.

Anyway, the wider issue , other than the mana and the damage that I can do is finding actual content that is interesting. I have done new the story quest up to the dungeon for the 66 region and now I guess I gotta throw balls at butterflies every single day from now until I hit 67. I thought there would have been actual interesting story based quests. Not collecting 60 carrots and killing butterflies.

So there you have it. I really don't have an answer to the Mana thing. I actually have 5 mystics and I had a lot more but when they merged they deleted loads of my characters. I was playing from almost the very beginning and I enjoyed Mystic. I know all the tools pretty well. These new ones are a pain though. I know how to balance the mana, and I can generally handle that. What I can't handle is why it suddenly pops and then literally runs out like water down a plug hole. I just sit there looking at the screen and cannot see what is active that is draining mana. I have cancelled everything... EVERYTHING. And it happens always when I am suddenly with other players.

By the way I am not a healer. I play offensive mystic. Not anymore it would seem. [ Stop mucking about and just hit the thang ]

I have Nocterium Infusion and Everful Nostrum up all the time and generally they balance the mana loss from the Augmentation. I use the Noctenium for Contagion. I generally start by firing up the Augmentation and then fire up the Thrall of Protection. Then I use Contagion. Next I use the Tralll of Wrath as its the only damage dealing skill I now have.. And without me even doing any smite or blast myself my mana just drains down the plughole. So I have to then hit the Aruns Tears just to stop the zero mana killing my pots that I have to put on. The speed at which it goes down depends on whether other players are active. Trust me and that is without any auras active. I can't use anything that uses mana.

Like I say I was doing the Hyrdras and no problem. All in equilibrium and pots battle pots etc balancing the Augment. I was even able to leave it up and the thrall all the time. No people present. Then I simply flew to where the iron giants were and as I went over that small shrubbery blocking the road the mana pool just evaporated and yet the pots were still up. After that no matter what I did there were several of my icons flashing and losing mana by the bucket and I can't stop it. I have to log and come back in to stop the processes. Same when I am in cities and anywhere where other players are present. Specially fishing.

I generally pick quiet places and then it is stable but as soon as someone comes to do mobs in and around where I am there is a flash circle to my body and then the mana just zonks down. I can be in a dungeon on my own and I'm fine the whole time till I teleport out and then it starts. But only if I have had Augment on. I noticed the activity the minute I completed the Awakening quest. I just couldn't understand why many of my icons were cycling and I was losing mana. And there was no buffs active. Nothing.

Also since hitting the Apex quest I have been unable to do any damage at all. I have never had a problem with mystic and chain my attacks and have enjoyed my battle tactics. I then hit a brick wall. After the Apex quest line and the Awakening I just couldn't any longer do damage. I was trying to kill boars outside Tria and just gave up in the end. I was hammering away endlessly and doing no damage at all. I just vaporated the Thrall and ran away. Only skill I can use is the Thrall of Wrath and kill one mob and then stand idle while I wait for the thing to come back on cool down. Fortunately I can log out to clear the nonsnense with the mana drain. Trust me I have no buffs active at times , not one and the icons are going balistic and the mana just endlessly drains out. I can't stop it.

It feels like a bug to me. Has made the character unplayable. I have to do an escort quest and there will are multiple mobs. Trouble is I need 1 minute 20 seconds for the Wrath to cool down as it is my only damage dealing skill now and there are a dozen or so mobs spread out on the pathway and the quest is timed at four minutes. Its taking me five minutes to kill anything with the Prot Thrall using my trad atack. I am throwing everything I have in the mix and nothing does any damage. And I've been playing Mystic for years and years. Its never like ever been like this. This can't be right. I normally only ever use Smite and Blast plus the protection thrall. I don't use any other skills... never needed to.

I have corruption ring VIII never use it. .. The problem is that these mobs at 65 plus need all my attention if I am going to kill anything. I never need to really deal with health as I never really lose any health. I am eternally trying to stop mana bleeding out and cus the Thrall is pretty useless now even with his shield, he just clots about and often just creates more problems pulling stuff. I spend all my time dashing about trying to refill mana. And thats all I do. So when the Thrall is down I generally give up and wait for a couple of minutes till the wrath is up. Sadly the Wrath is bonkers also and you have no control so if the mob moves and he decides to go jump all over the place he will leave the mob up. And its all a big joke. Up to this point I would normally tag everything and take the lot down with chained smite and blast and never even take damage or lose mana. Truth is I've never like ever bothered with mana. Now I am pea shooting and its just gotten pretty annoying. I'm about to give up.

One last thing is that I am set up for damage cus I don't play with others and never play as healer. So I don't have any need for most of what I have. Like I say I never have an issue with heal. I am pretty bullet proof. I like toe to toe and use smite and blast with smacking the mobs. Its the way I play and I have six mystics cus I like the class so much. But I can't get one hit off noe cus of mana drain. I only recently srated using Contagion cus I saw someone on YouTube suggest it. Seems pretty useless.

Anyway... I haven't got a solution and I have been trying all afternoon again. I can't stop the mana bleed sadly. Something feels wrong. These characters are very old and maybe something is mucked up in their dna from the beginning of Tera when I started playing.
