When the first Black Desert promo videos came out, fans of the summoner (summoner) class quickly let out sweet saliva and started scribbling on the forums that it had happened - Korean developers had not forgotten them! And, indeed, in these videos, the mystic flaunted in battles the presence of a black furry beast, which the creators of the project for some reason called a lion (they didn’t go to the zoo for sure), although it looks more like a huge black St. Bernard, however, with a strange muzzle . And returning to the summoners - they broke off ... The mystic, of course, calls on the beast to help him, but this is not the option when you can stand on the sidelines and watch, picking your teeth with a staff, how your beloved pet does everything moving. In the case of Black Desesrt, the character himself will have to wave a sharp piece of iron.
The Mystic is considered one of the most, if not the most enduring class in the game. Why this anime-like creation of puberty (well, the developers could not, could not abandon the roots: D) received such a reputation is discussed below.
Advantages and disadvantages
Managing a mystic in battle does not require additional fingers and a piano diploma from a music school. Everything is simple and tasteful.
If we talk about protection, this class is one of the most cardboard. But what about the talk about his vitality? It's simple, this is the merit of that very black unshorn ̶k̶o̶t̶o̶p̶s̶a̶ lion (which, by the way, is some kind of spirit), which is the first to enter the battle and gives its mistress a lot of goodies. Controls well and also bites well. Another component of the mystic's survivability is invulnerability during jumps, somersaults and strafes. And this character will have to jump a lot, because. any mistake in a serious fight is fatal, despite the presence of good equipment.
Mobility, good attack stats, and a fair amount of hitting combos position the Mystic as a great cover for more "stationary" and "soft" allies. That is, in battle, this class performs the functions of support or a mobile reserve, which is thrown into "bare sections of the front." It is in mass-PvP that the main potential of the mystic as a fighter is revealed. Control skills in the arsenal of this fragile girl will help to delay the enemy and bring him under the blow of his comrades-in-arms. The main thing is not to give in.
PvE does not present any serious problems for the mystic. The summoner's arsenal contains enough skills to qualitatively reduce the population of spawned evil spirits.
Mystic Skills
No one will argue that the correct selection of skills will directly affect the consistency of the character in battle. The option “learn and then decide whether it is needed or not” is not the most successful, unfortunately, there are no free skillpoints. Therefore, below are descriptions of skills, taking into account their usefulness and the order of study.
Basic Skills
- Dissecting leaf fall. Standard for any class auto-attack with the main weapon. Low damage and low mana recovery. If the rumors about the effect of auto-attacks on the strength of the summoned lion's blows are true, the skill can be developed, but obviously not in the first place. And the rest - the development is inappropriate.
- Heaven strike. A controlling skill that allows you to grab and knock down the enemy with a graceful kick, simultaneously hooking a few more "adversaries", however, only for 2 seconds. Learn the first level, and max it out with free skill points.
- Mobile evasion. This skill could be called "I will live." A jump in any direction, in which (attention!) the character is invulnerable. This skill is essential in both PvP and PvE. It is mandatory to invest skillpoints in each new level.
- Jump from above. Allows you to shorten the distance with the enemy by jumping and strike already in close combat. Despite its apparent usefulness, the skill is of little use in combat due to low damage and accuracy. Not worth investing skill points.
- Evasion attack. This is a kind of strafe combined with an attack. It has a "Water Rush" branch, which allows it to be used twice. Plus: can restore mana (useful in PvE). Minus: "eats" a lot of stamina, which is better to use for dodges. One level will be enough.
- Hail of blows. A series of kicks. It makes absolutely no sense to spend skillpoints on it.
- Chosen One. Another skill to control the enemy. Throws up and overturns enemies in front. With development, it is possible to use an additional attack in the air. Learn to the maximum, but after the basic skills for farming.
- Call of the black lion. We got to the sweetest thing - the call of the lion. Skill has absolute priority. Always keep skill points in reserve for learning a new level.
- Absorption of the black lion. Gives you the opportunity to sacrifice a summoned lion in exchange for a very tasty buff for yourself (before, the buff rushed to the whole group). A mystic without a lion is not a mystic, and in PvP he is not a tenant at all, so the use of this skill is justified in exceptional cases: when the lion runs out of time or his health is almost at zero.
- Flash. It has many branches: Pierce, Spin, Claw. Small damage and a long animation devalue both the skill itself and the entire branch. It is useless in PvP, but in PvE there are more worthy skills. Do not download.
- Thunderclap. In combination with its offshoot "Otherworldly Strike" (in the common people "Fist"), it's just an uber combo. At max level, with 100% critical strike chance on Fist, the damage is overwhelming. Definitely push it to the limit.
- Black Lion: Whip. Has almost comparable damage to the previous skill and is very easy to use. Skill for the "lazy", i.e. no need to press a bunch of buttons. In unity, you will have to learn according to the scenario. Can be an alternative to Beyond Strike, but learning both is a waste of skillpoints, so you have to choose.
- Lightning field. An AoE attack that allows you to pull the enemy, deal damage and reduce their attack speed. When a lion reaches level 7, the skill goes to a new level of quality - the pet itself turns into a destructive whirlwind, dealing frenzied damage for 4 seconds and stunning all enemies within the radius of action. Download without question.
- Black Lion: Throat burn. Necessary skill in PvP: firstly, repels the enemy; secondly, it deals serious damage to the enemy in the air. And given that the mystic loves to throw gaping enemies, it is difficult to overestimate this skill. Verdict: teach to the limit.
- Black lion, Cat's paw. Another, third knockdown skill. This is what determines its usefulness. With development, the number of knocked down opponents and the indicator of "eaten" accuracy in the debuff increases. Considering all this - to develop to the maximum.
- Black Lion: Earth lightning. A massive skill that has quite serious damage. In the presence of free skillpoints, download to the fullest.
- Black Lion: Powerful wave. A kind of team "Fas!" for the lion. Begins to intensively gnaw on the specified target, and damage to lying targets increases significantly. Learn the same as the previous skill.
- Black Lion: Terror Strike. Mass camp. Useful in PvP. To begin with, you can learn in one, then, when there are extra skill points, to the maximum. At the last level of development, stuns for 2 seconds.
- Black Lion: Uppercut with a paw. This is the ultimate at 100% Black Spirit's Rage. Huge damage in a very short time makes this skill indispensable in both PvP and PvE. Actually, the ult itself is performed by a lion, knocking down even those sitting on horseback. At 200% Black Spirit's Rage, the damage is unimaginable. It is mandatory to learn, but preferably after the basic skills for farming.
- Black Lion: Claws. Having a beautiful animation, the skill is useless. And even an increase in damage of 5% of the amount of mana does not save him.
- Black Lion: Lion's Roar. Ult at 200% Black Spirit Rage. Up to level 50 is the most useful skill. The skill has several advantages: absolute accuracy and a very strong slowdown of the enemy. The downside is that it consumes a lot of mana. In PvP, it deals very decent damage up to level 50, after it it is better to use it as an ult. Download to the maximum.
Skill Awakening
There is no clear framework in the awakening of skills in a mystic. Therefore, as general recommendation the following tips:
- on "Otherworldly Strike" catch a perk of 15% to attack speed;
- add a debuff in the form of 7% to the movement speed to the characteristics of the Thunderbolt;
- to "Cat's Paw" - restore 3 HP per hit, this will reduce the consumption of cans on health.
Equipment
The main task in choosing equipment is to emphasize the advantages and smooth out the shortcomings. Therefore, the recommendations in the selection of gear for the mystic are as follows.
Weapon
Mystic is no exception general rule: The best main weapon at the initial stage will be the Yuria blade, which should be replaced with Liberto at the first opportunity, and then, with luck, with Kzarka. Speaking of additional weapons, two options should be distinguished - for PvP and PvE, respectively. In PvE it is better to take a keychain to attack, but in PvP it is better to increase dodge with it. And of course, one must strive to obtain the Nouver keychain.
Armor
In the early stages, the Jeres set will be the best solution, which will give 200 stamina and +5 damage to all races with a bonus from three things, and boots will add another 200 stamina, which will greatly increase the character's mobility. Further, it will need to be replaced with the Rohava set - +75 HP and MP, +7 to evasion, as well as an additional socket for inlay stones in each element of the set. And, of course, get the boss set.
Bijouterie
For the Mystic, the choice of jewelry is connected with the choice additional weapon. Before getting the Nouver trinket, jewelry for an attack is more suitable: an ogre necklace, a treant spirit belt, red coral rings and earrings. Some players advise in PvP a kit that increases evasion and health levels. If you get a Nouver keychain, you should switch to jewelry that increases protection.
Inlay stones
When choosing inlay stones for a mystic, emphasis should be placed on attack speed and increased survivability.
- Helmet: Amethyst (Barrier) - increases resistances.
- Body: Iolite (Health) - increase in HP.
- Gloves: Amber (Attack Speed) - increased attack speed.
- Boots: Malachite (Resilience) - increased resistance to tipping over.
- Main weapon: Valuable grenade (Attack Speed) - again, an increase in attack speed.
- Additional weapon: Garnet (Capture) or Garnet (Attack on the bottom) - ignoring resistance to capture or increasing attack on lying targets, respectively.
As soon as the opportunity arises, it is necessary to replace the stones with analogues of a higher grade.
Outcome
Mystic turned out to be a dynamic and interesting class that will appeal to fans of support classes and swoop-bounce tactics. When playing this class in mass battles, you need to take care not only of yourself, but also of your allies, who should be covered. Fans of anime and incomprehensible black lions will also like the mystic :) Although it can count on this - who will take seriously a small fragile girl walking a shaggy black something ... But in vain.
The Mystic in Black Desert is one of the five classes that have existed since the game's release (along with the Barbarian, Sorceress, Warrior and Archer). The human teenage girl was probably conceived as a class specifically for kawaii lovers. However, appearances are deceiving: this cute creature in capable hands becomes a dangerous opponent, able to compete on equal terms in PVP against representatives of other classes.
Black Lion
The main feature of the Mystic, which no one else has, is the ability to summon the Black Lion, a powerful ally that helps in battle, and can also be used as a vehicle. In the latter case, it is not the best of the existing mounts: the movement speed is low and does not increase in any way, and the acceleration does not last long, as it uses the character's vigor. In addition, unlike a horse, an elephant or a camel, the Black Lion does not know how to transport goods. You can use this skill only when the character reaches level 50.
However, such an ally is not called for at all for this. Having given the command to attack all visible targets, the Mystic can relax and do nothing else: all the monsters in the line of sight will be destroyed by the Black Lion. This allows you to use one little trick: by looping the route along the autopath and giving the command to attack, the Mystic can farm mobs in AFK mode while the player is busy with other things, and the pets loot the drop. The infinite farm is limited only by the cooldown for using the skill - after 30 minutes the Black Lion disappears, and it must be called again.
It is also worth noting that the Mystics are "cardboard" - initially they have a smaller supply of health compared to other characters, when pumping this parameter they also do not receive an impressive increase, but at the same time they are extremely mobile. Despite the fact that the mystic is equipped with melee weapons in both stances, he can only be used as a tank at a very high level of protection.
Main rack
Until level 56, Mystics use the Blade as their primary weapon and the trinket attached to it as their secondary weapon. By the way, the same main weapon is used by two more classes - Kunoichi and Ninja, so mystics usually have less problems finding ready-made equipment at the auction.
First of all, it is recommended to pump skills that increase the Black Lion's attack power and health level. If there are free skill points left, you can spend them on strengthening the most damaging skills based on your own playstyle.
The Mystic also has an enemy grab, which is traditionally activated by pressing the E button (it is also recommended to swing to the maximum), several types of kicks, a dash with a cooldown of just one second, as well as a buff to increase attack, defense, critical damage chance, attack speed and a movement duration of 60 seconds, affecting all allies. This makes the Mystic useful in any group - both during mass PvP and when raiding a world boss. But the block needed by the melee player is not in the main stance of this class.
Awakened Stance
After completing the quest to awaken the weapon, the Mystic can use the Chanbon, a man-sized war pole. As with any class, the gameplay changes drastically: even if you didn’t particularly like the fighting style used, with a pole all attacks become extremely dynamic and spectacular. In addition, a block becomes available, which, with the proper level of character protection, cannot be broken at all.
Also unlocked is Black Lion: Roar, which draws the attention of monsters to the summoned creature, allowing it to be used as a tank. Combinations in the awakened stance are based on finishing off opponents with chanbon. Like many classes, the most powerful abilities are activated only at level 58. It is not for nothing that many BDO players believe that a class can only be fully appreciated by leveling up to this level and having studied all the required skills.
Appearance and style
As mentioned above, unlike other classes, whose representatives are adults, elves or giants, the Mystic in BDO is so far the only teenager. This leaves an imprint on her appearance and behavior: somewhat angular movements when walking, which distinguishes many adolescents in real life, as well as short stature - representatives of this class barely reach the chest of the rest, and Barbara is generally waist-deep.
When creating a character, Mystique cannot be made big breasts, which is so loved by many players, as well as add wrinkles, if you suddenly have a desire to “for fun” play as a fidgety dry old woman. The set of tattoos is almost identical for all other classes, and the Mystics are also different.
Adolescent restrictions can be seen in appearance of all types, as well as costumes from their premium store: Mystique is not available for overtly sexy outfits - only colorful dresses with ribbons, fox or cat costumes, various hare ears and, oddly enough, luxurious hussar mustaches used instead of piercings.
Even having bought paints of gloomy shades for painting equipment and having carefully rummaged around with setting up the character’s appearance, you still won’t be able to create a brutal or dangerous-looking Mystic - the output still turns out to be a nyasha. Perhaps it is for this feature that this one is loved by many anime fans. However, hardcore fans of heavy metal do not refuse to play as Mystic - her ability to use chanbon can undoubtedly be called one of the most interesting combat mechanics in Black Desert.
Mystic, or "tamer", as he is often called by the regulars of Russian-speaking servers, is rightfully considered one of the most controversial and ambiguous classes in the game. Let's see where BeastMaster (Tamer) will show his best qualities, and what type of gamers will definitely not like him.
What does it represent?
Many users who are just getting acquainted with BDO mistakenly compare this class with "summoners" familiar to them from other projects, for example, and even Diablo sequels. But everything is quite different.
Mystic is just a cute little girl. In fact, this is a powerful "dodge", which is capable of inflicting good damage on opponents on its own. And, in combination with a pumped-over pet, the “tamer” turns into a real machine for “farming”. No wonder this class competes with the barbarian for the title of the best mob smasher in Black Desert.
As for PvP, everything is not so clear-cut here. At the initial stages of the game, the mystic is able to “drag” any opponent 1x1 at the expense of a pet (it is often called a lion, a dog, or even a “catops” due to its similarity, both with feline representatives and with best friends person). But at higher levels, when other classes can easily cope with a pet, "tamer" becomes easy prey in duel fights. But thanks to a large number of useful skills with a massive “buff” and damage, they like to take him in “parties” in 2v2, 5v5 confrontations and in sieges.
Since the launch of the CBT on Korean servers, the mystic has undergone numerous changes. In general, whether it's a "nerf" or a "boost", they only benefited the class. But in general, this is a chic mobile class with simple control, good damage and interesting combos. True, with weak indicators of protection. Which is not surprising, given the presence of such a powerful additional weapon as a pet that is murderous in every sense of the word.
Advantages and disadvantages of the class
The main feature of the mystic is, of course, his pet. Not only is a tamed animal capable of inflicting impressive damage on several targets at once, but it also perfectly “stuns” and “controls” the enemy, which is extremely useful in PvP. You can also ride on it. But this is rather a minus for the “tamer”, because, having saddled her main weapon, a pretty girl immediately loses in damage, and in mobility too.
In addition to the advantages of the class, you should add its mobility, a large number of combinations that increase survivability and damage, as well as the ability to move quickly even in the midst of opponents. The main disadvantage of "tamer" is that at high levels, "pet" ceases to bring too much benefit. If this is not very noticeable in the fight against mobs, then in PvP, especially 1x1 fights, the class turns into a “whipping girl” as soon as the enemy cracks down on living creatures.
Key Skills
Like other inhabitants of BDO, the skills of the Mystic depend on the chosen style of play. Some of the most useful in the class experienced users consider:
lion roar- restores strength at the expense of enemies, and also allows you to overturn the enemy. Even after cutting on Korean servers, many continue to swing this "skill" and consider it extremely important.
Discharge- Deals damage to all enemies around. One of the most "damaging" mass skills of the class.
Stream blow. Allows the Mystic to perfectly dodge even a group of enemies.
Heaven strike. You make a capture and discard the ill-wisher.
Trap. Allows you to kick while evading an enemy attack, while dealing good damage.
air poison- a skill thanks to which you simultaneously hit and push the enemy back.
Vampirism- allows you to restore hit points when dealing damage to an enemy. Not the most important, but sometimes a useful skill.
In addition, the class has enough other useful skills, but you should choose and develop them directly for your style of play.
Weapons and equipment
It should be noted right away that in PvE for mystics, equipment at first does not matter at all. Your pet will do all the work for you. But from the weapon, you should pay attention to the Asvel blade for “farming” mobs on low levels. After the fortieth level, it is desirable to acquire a “fluffy” Yuria. And after the fiftieth and above, everything is as usual - Liberto, Kzark. As a second weapon, it is advisable to take something for accuracy or damage increase.
As an optimal set for a mystic, either Agerian (white) or Grunil (purple) is suitable. Again, depending on which play style you prefer.
"Sharpening" and "awakening"
First of all, this class needs survivability and the speed of using skills to pump out ammunition, because this is a very mobile and agile character. With a lack of accuracy, you can slightly disperse this indicator. And you should awaken those skills on which your gameplay is tied. For a solo, these can be damage and survival skills or a “pet” buff, and for a “support” one of the mass “skills”.
Good day to all!
I continue a series of cycles that tell about an unpredictable, exciting and amazing game.
In this full of surprises gaming world, there are several classes, but the most ambiguous is definitely the mystic class.
Mystic guide in Black Desert will help you to find out all the weaknesses and strengths of the character, you will learn many of his secrets.
The review will be useful for beginners and useful for “old-timers of the game. This character, or rather the heroine, is actually incredibly interesting and deserves a detailed description.
From this article you will learn:
Peculiarities
The mystic class has the highest survivability. This pretty girl can summon a pet animal to her side, which is undoubtedly a huge plus, because the mystic class cannot boast of protection or a sufficient supply of HP.
The king of beasts, the lion, does the work for the character and becomes the main tool of the heroine, who simply watches the ongoing process from the side.
The class is not difficult to manage, you just need to learn how to use combos and skills correctly.
The lion moves the fragile girl and at the same time she becomes invulnerable. But she deals devastating attacks, thanks to surprise and a huge stock of combos.
Mystic is a reliable defense for allies and effectively protects them from opponents' blows.
battles
The favorite pastime of many gamers are battles with other players. If you are one of them, then it is better to choose an archer or a warrior instead of a mystic.
But in mass PvP, this character will show himself in all his glory. The mystic effectively holds back the onslaught of opponents, skillfully using his skills and abilities, while allies smash the crowds of enemies to smithereens.
The main weapon of the girl is the blade, with which she handles experienced and skillfully. At the first call, her faithful friend immediately rushes to her - a black lion, which a hundredfold pays for the fragility of the heroine.
It is important not to make mistakes, otherwise the mystic may lose. When choosing this class, you need to be constantly on the alert, know the features of other Black Desert classes and keep the enemy at close range.
Regarding the choice of locations for pumping, they are so unimportant, any place is suitable for a mystic for a successful pump.
Weapons, equipment
Many players are interested in the right gear, which reduces disadvantages and increases advantages. The ideal equipment for the mystic class will be Jeres, both for PvP and PvE.
If you like to kill mobs, choose the Boss set. But the Taritas armor is the best choice for PvP.
Now about weapons. At the start of the passage Online Games use Liberto or Yuri. In the future, it is necessary to replace it with Kzark.
Also, as you progress, take care of inlaying the gear with stones: for hp - gems in the body, for hands - stones for speed, hp, attack, for legs - gems for rollover.
Mystic Skills
It is worth noting that each gamer, taken separately, as he progresses through the Black Desert browser, begins to use his own unique, self-developed builds.
A lot depends on your play style and preferences, so I will tell you about the skills of the mystic and give only their general recommendations.
To do one way or another - each of you decides individually. So let's go.
- The skill "hit heaven" - uses the mystic himself, refers to the primary skills of control. With it, the character throws opponents to the ground. I recommend raising to the maximum after you have free skill points.
- Waterfall Cleaving is rather a mediocre skill. With him, the heroine inflicts light blows. You can pump, but definitely not at the beginning of the passage.
- Skill "jump from above" - promises attacks in close combat and reduction of distances. But in fact, it is very inconvenient to use and works inefficiently. I do not recommend.
- The skill "mobile evasion" - with it the mystic makes long jumps and at the same time becomes invulnerable to enemies. Very useful skill.
- The hail of blows skill is a failed skill with a meaningless, ineffective hitting power.
- Evasion attack skill - requires additional stamina, but it restores mana quite well.
- The skill "call of the black lion" - here and so everything is very clear. We download for sure and immediately.
- Skill "Chosen" - rollover, very useful. We are engaged in pumping, but after a complete swing of farm skills.
- The flash skill series is useless and completely ineffective, at least in the way it currently looks.
- The Black Lion Absorption skill is used only when the mystic is not in danger, since you are sacrificing an animal in exchange for buffs for allies.
- The skill "peal of lightning" - gives unrealistic damage, but only when it is fully pumped.
- Skill "Black Lion, Whip" - similar to the previous skill.
- Throat burn skill - worth pumping if you prefer pvp.
- Lightning Field Skill - Deals heavy damage and stuns opponents. Download is worth it without hesitation.
- Earth Lightning skill - with this skill, the character inflicts powerful blows at once on a crowd of opponents.
- Wave lightning skill - at maximum pumping, it gives pretty good damage to a lying target.
- Lion's roar skill - in the initial stages with this skill you will bring down opponents with the support of a lion.
- The skill "strike of horror" - we pump it to a minimum, it gives massive stuns. With further passage, it becomes unnecessary.
- Skill "claws" - I recommend, but not in the first place. Useful in battles with other gamers or boss battles.
- The skill "strike with claws" - after pumping farm skills, it gives enormous damage for maximum periods of time. It is 100% of the character's ultimate.
Regardless of the chosen skills and their pumping, the main rule when playing the mystic class in Black Dessert is to achieve a tamer with the selected skills and a minimum of pet attacks.
Definitely, a character you will like from the first moments of playing this exciting online game, especially if you like support classes.
They will appear in the very near future, so do not forget to subscribe to the game block. Play, leave comments, check back often!
