What else should i get as a DE Mystic?

Player Questions Started Last reply 8 posts
After some problems and almost quiting the game, I decided to join Kain and reroll a DE Mystic. I tried a couple other classes and i think i found spell caster types a lot more fun for me. I also got use to being PK so now I just brush it of and continue fighting my way to next level.
So I got Lv10 so far my skills are WS3 and Ice2. I got saved up about 963 SP and was wondering if i should pick up Heal.
Also am going SH so what would you guys recommend :v10-20 for my skill setup.

Thx in advance
Well, u should look up the skills u gain after lvl20 :) Most important for u now is Wind Strike, skip anything else if ya want.
Might 1 is senseless for u, dont learn it, ull never use it.
Shield 1 is nice, learn it when u have some SP left, but dont focus on it.
Armor Mastery: Well, not bad, if u have SP left u could get it.
Ice Bolt 1/2 is also senseless. It cost the same MP than Wind Strike, but does lesser damage. The slow effect of Ice Bolt doesnt land that often and is not needed normaly.
Anti Magic 1/2: Important on higher lvls, but not now, learn it later :)
Weapon Mastery: It raises ur Matk, if u have the Sp, learn it.
Wind Strike 2/3: Ur main nuke -> Learn!
Curse Poisen: For ur low-lvl its not important, do it later.
Cure Poisen: u dont get it higher, skip this and buy antidotes.
Heal 1/2/3: For ur lvl 7-13 its a waste of SP, skip it.

Lvl14:
Group Heal 1/2/3: senseless
Battle Heal 1/2/3: Learn it sooner or later, it will save u :)
Vampiric Touch 1/2: Until lvl30 its a nice 2nd nuke, but maybe u should learn it later (20+)
Wind Shackle: senseless
Heal 4/5/6: They r as strong as battle heal 1/2/3, but only helpfull for lowlvl. Later u got too much HP u want to heal fast ^^ I would say forget about heal, just battle heal is important for ya.
Get all your weapon mastery levels asap. Get your armor mastery levels as you can.

Vampire touch gets used in your wizard levels, and is nice to be able to nuke and heal yourself at the same time when things get tight, so I'd grab it, too.

Heal, battle heal are worth getting at some point, although I found the 200+ newbie potions you get take a long time to use up (assuming you do the eldritch dagger and blood saber quest).

Wind shackle is a waste of adena to buy the book. You'll never use it except to see how lame it is. Cure poison and curse poison I would list as optional. If you do the lucrative spider quest for a while, cure poison will get some use.
It doesn't matter what you get. After level 25ish your pre-20 skills are too weak to be useful. You usually will get enough SP to buy all your skills by level 20. If not, it doesn't matter because you're not going to use them past level 30 anyway.

Rather than saying "these are the skills you should have to become a wizard", just use a basic formula of which skill to upgrade. I always upgrade my highest damage dealing skill first. After that, my second highest dd skill. (In your case, windstrike and icebolt.) Then I get my weapon masteries. So far everything you've gotten helps you kill faster and easier. After that, it's your choice. Do you want to upgrade your defense? Get your robe masteries. Or do you want to upgrade your secondary damage dealing spells (like poison)? If you hunt alone, you probably will want to get heal and battle heal. Also, sometimes Wizards will have to play healer up through level 30, when there are no healers available. So I'd say you can get your heals, after your 2 primary nukes and your weapon masteries. But if you don't get them, it won't be the end of the world. I dual-box with an SE, so I never got my heals and it's not been a problem.
I found ice bolt to be pretty useful, since one windstrike and an icebolt (15 mp then 10) would finish off most mobs I was fighting. This way you don't have to wait for windstrike to recharge to cast again.

Ok... well.. first of all you need to decide what you want too "be" when you reach lvl 20. Do you want to be a nuker or a healer?

lvl 1-19 are designed to give you a taste of the alter classes so that you can then make a choice. Sadly,... you don't get a taste of the Dark Elf summoner class until you pick wizard at lvl 20.

In the end you really don't have to worry. At all. Period.

Skill points always come. They never stop coming. I've heard people shout that you should never use the higher lvl overhit skills as they give you more xp but keep the skill points the same, thus when it is time for you to lvl you will be without skill points.

I'm sorry but this is the weirdest thinking. Just max out on the main damage or whatever your main roll is and you are good to go.

I was a clan leader (meaning I had to use the skill points to lvl the clan) and I never found myself lacking for long.

If I were youi and you don't know what you want to do then just get them all and try them out. You will decide what you like.

Also... I'm not sure Kain is the best server for you since it used to be a very brutal pvp server. But if you are happy there then fine. Welcome to L2.
One tip.

Make sure you level to 20 asap and do the classchange quest before tuesday and server maintenance.

Because you are then entitled to an expensive mid D-grade weapon for free thanks to the C4 welcome new player event. As such a weapon normally cost more then 1 million adana you will kick yourself if you fail to acquire it.
