If I were to use dyes on my lvl 50 Overlord, which ones would you recommend that I use? I am currently using a +mana staff with robes for stunning soloing mainly cus of the high MP involved.
Well I would say that seeing as how you currently use robes, you most probably enjoy the mp bonus they bring. I would suggest you get +wit/-men tats, and perhaps if you should desire, increasing your con in lieu of your str.
Of course you could just keep your stats as they are.
I would really like to have faster casting speed. Does anyone know which stat controls that? Even better, what stats control what attributes (i.e. running speed, attack speed, damage both physical and magical, etc.)?

I want the cast speed for pvp and ability to defend yourself (pvp). +5con.. well, since Im focusing on pvp I dont really have to hit too much.
I am not sure though on the -4men and +4wit. Cast speed or mana/magic resist..? Could someone experienced help me out here please.
Or just dont mess with wit/men stats at all?
and btw, I have another question... Why cant I use sleep on people when pvping..? Inside pvp arenas I can use sleep and dots. Outside (BOTH flagged yes) I cant use either sleep nor damage over time spells... Someone enlighten me please? :)
I did this for my OL, demon robes (they look **** :) ) with +2wit+3wit-5men (is cheaper to buy the tatoos that way from the trader) and although I considered adding some STR for soloing (only thing I do when no clannies are on ;/ ) but that would outweight the losses of CON, and namely me getting chain stunned (more than it used to be) for PvP.But, I would say instead of +5con +4wit, I would do +5wit, +4 con. There will be a bigger difference and more important in pvp to have faster cast speed than more health (you have pretty much unlimited if you can keep that drain working fast anyway).
I am pretty much happy with my build, but I prefer to level my OL as more of a caster than a melee, although running with a focus dagger is awsome for PvE..OE homu all the way for PvP now, unless hammer crush time :P
No idea on the sleep/DoT...but if both are flagged they should work, I always forget on sleep...I have not quite acclaimated to the type of pvp in this game, basically as I see it now: incapacitate and kill the other person (sleep->nuke->sleep->repeat or ancher->nuke->nuke->nuke).
I play a 5x Sorc and trust me, trying to pvp outside of the arena with a caster class is hopeless, since we can't use the majority of our skills unless our target is already flagged...
Anyways, you CAN use DoTs and sleep only if the following conditions are ALL true:
<ul type="square">
Target must be purple and/or red
Target must not be in your clan
Target must not be in your party
So yeah, since typically in the process of a mystic being flagged on he/she dies, mystics make bad pvp/pk choices...unless you're in a pvp party or sieging etc.
I have the same question as far as dyes go. Currently (lv 45) i am using Karmian Set(+p.def) and Focus SlS wit h a Shield. Since we have a bless shield buff we get more def... + the bonus from the Kamrian set. I also have increased mana due to the robes. This way i can fully buff my self and have half mp ready to go. The SLS works very well and crits very often. With this setup i can solo non-stop mobs of teh same lvl and even x2 hp. When Hp drop beneath half start the next mob with a drain. U should be full of Hp now and ready to continue grinding. I repeat,this method is non stop for me and very nice xp.
Any OL ever tried to +5 his Men? And if so,is the decrease in Wit so much noticeable?
Hm, why would you not use sleep on archers? And its quite annoying to nuke with shaman so far, only got one nuke spell :P
And from what Ive seen you dont get another one, unless you count drain essence, which will have massively more dmg then life drain so life drain would pretty much be useless...
And you cant cast dots apparently, which is really bad, dots owns.
About the dots, you assumed the shammie/overlord in question was flagged too right?
Gonna check it out :)
Btw, so far I think a mystic (at least orc) can defend herself very good against people ~same lvl. Only problem atm is archers... its usually a 50/50 win/loss. Wouldnt wanna fight against a dagger who succeeds with a Mortal though..:P
As far as PvP goes an Orc Mystic can be very effective against all classes. The reason behind that is because it can melee and nuke at the same time. Imo i divide pvp opponents in two categories. Melee/archers and Nukers... If i have a nuker against me then i go melee.. My m.def is high enough since i am Mystic and i raise my M.def stats. Nukers tho dont have p.def so its quite easy to drop em down dead. On the other hand when i see a melee class i prefer to stay on the back. U can achieve that by sleeping. When it comes to archers, u can both melee them and when they go wide drain them... If the other person is purple as well we can use all our spells,dots,sleep etc... If u are a warcryer try Aura sinking an Archer... After a while he will just be standing there looking at ya.... Same goes for an OL against nukers! Go in AOE and cast a seal of silence... Bam, whats that blue thingie on top of ur head? Say what?Didnt hear ya? bb....
Owww and MY BAD about telling you to look better next time inside the forums. It seems that i should be saying that to my self :eek:. After looking again it seems u made the post earlier than me,so i apologize for creating a second post on the same subject. If Sarge wants and can, he can merge these two post as they are similar...
Again sorry.

Yes, you really want cast speed for pvp. I believe...not positive though, that the cast speed bonus of +1 WIT is something like +5% cast speed. And as it stands now, taking away more of the cast speed would really have spells cast too slow (-5 WIT would leave you at about 9-10WIT, forget the exact stat). As this is a gank style game you want to be able to cast first, fast, and often, not have a bit more MP/M.def ;/
