Editing Mystic Strategy (section)

== Mystic in Territory War ==

Mystics can provide a multitude of roles that support a wide variety of squad set ups in [[Territory Wars]]. "Jack of all trades" in this particular case is a good thing.

'''Resurrection -''' This buff is great for catapult ("cata") squads, especially the demon version. Coming back without a charm tick in TWs is crucial when a barb goes down and is unbuffed upon resurrecting. Cata clerics also shouldn't mind this too much.

'''Devil Chihyu -''' Nice back up stuns when you tab though high priority targets. Unless they've popped their anti-stun this usually traps a good number of people unaware. Great for surprise stunning clerics in the air. Energy Leeching this summon will give you of course crit and PDef bonuses, which shouldn't be ignored.

'''Storm Mistress -''' AoE Silence from making it Sage/Demon version, and a nice Metal damage AoE makes her another great choice to have out as well. Leeching grants magic defense and magic attack so comboing it with rapid growth can produce some attacking power.

'''Salvation -''' Her shields can save yourself and other people. Leeching her isn't exactly necessary as she acts better as a secondary medic around for catas. Put into a cata team she can AoE shield everyone near by (on ground cata units.)

'''Bramble Tornado -''' The only class sporting a knockback skill that works on players, it's indispensable for pushing incoming catas back a few annoying meters as well as incoming BMs and seekers. While Demon Tornado adds an extra knockback meter, Sage shouldn't be ignored just because it doesn't have that extra meter (Sage Bramble has a chance to cast without consuming chi, which is great for saving up for other chi reliant and high damaging skills such as Thicket). Take care while doing it to ranged classes; while it can interrupt channeling you don't want to fall out of range of your max and into easy range of their attacks.

'''Gale Force -''' You may or may not be using this skill often, but another seal that has an AoE is nice for control purposes. Also, it makes those pesky veno pets run away form you, giving enough time to dodge a fatal nix bleed.

'''Thicket -''' One of the mystic's best two spark weapons aside from Cragglord.  What's not to like about a seal, freeze, and additional HF (from demon) or increased overall damage output (sage)?


Depending on what you're going to be asked to do, always keep a few things in mind when TWing as a mystic in any given squad:

'''If you can always be MP charmed -''' If you're caught in the middle of skill spamming and forget to pop MP pots you're going to be in a bit of trouble. Since Mystics can troll with knockback, have their res buffs and have have an anti stun skill (Energy Leech), you'll always need to think on your feet.

'''Have your pet set to defend''' (unless it's Salvation) - Regardless of whether it's Devil or Storm you main most often, make sure it's set to defend. That way when you're handling someone else, and a sin or some other class decides to gank you, your pet will go scurrying after them.

'''Resurrect buff cata barbs and clerics when they die, get Purged, or buff wears off -''' As with most mystic skills it's MP heavy, and a level 10, Sage, or Demon res buff will charm tick you. If you have the time and MP to burn and if you feel like it, you can also res buff your strongest DDs (such as your R9 or your Nirvana armored teammates).
