Ok I am level 16 currently, it takes about 2 minutes of constant attacking on medium difficult xp mops until I need to sit and rest....this resting takes over 6 minutes to get close to full hp/mp!!!! Does this get worse? Am I doing something wrong here? I dont see why I get roughly 1 mana a second if im resting that seems a bit low. Maybe its just me but I dont think for 10-15 minutes of solid killing for exp it should take an HOUR of resting. Ill just go kill low level things for peanut xp but at least that way I can just keep moving for now :confused:
As bad as it looks to you right now, it's not quite the EverQuest rest (oh how I hated that crap ) if you know what I mean. In EQ I literraly had to sit my char down, and go watch a 30 min show :eek:
Im a Dark Elf Mystic so far, this is my first character and I havnt decided much on what im gonna be after 20.
So does this get at least a little better towards later level? Am I missing something ? you just click your sit icon and thats supposed to be resting mode right? lol
After 20 you'll start getting Mana masteries and at 25 you'll get Body To Mind spell which converts a rather large chunk of your HP to MP. Dangerious, but if you play wisely, you'll never be in any real danger even with the extreme low hp.
you may consider to pick other mobs as well. green/whites are nice, use as little spells as possible / mobs. and do quests! in the beginning you get some nice stuff from that quests, if this is your first char. you also get spiritshoots from them If I remember correctly (you do twice the damage, if its blessed spiritshoots, 1,5 damage if its normal spiritshoots) and also, at lvl17 or so, there is a quest you will get a Enchant armor D scroll, dont sue it, sell it 50-100k depends on what server. the money will be nice for D-grade (lvl20+)
Interesting that does sound nice, that would fit my playstyle too being that running outta mana is the prob. Hp isnt a big prob for me atm, I rarely get hit unless im jumped by a newspawn.
Thx for the insight, think ill stick around for another 10 15 levels and see what happens^^
While resting switch from run to walk I find you regen mana faster when it's switched just put it on your hotbar someplace so u can switch fast if u need to run........I've made that mistake before :(
As a nuker consentrate on finding green or higher mobs you can 2 shot. Mana management is much better that way. From lvl 25 your mana management will be much easier with BtM but you will still have to set every now and then. But no way near as much as I did as an Sps. Have fun and enjoy nukers are fun to play.
Also, find a party to have fun in and make it easier to balance mana usage. I know at that level it's kinda hard, though not impossible. Though the dark elven nuker is one of the best solo classes - if you're a lone wolf it's a good choice, though lone wolves in Lineage tends to get bored or agitated quickly ^^
Listen.. it's not about killing mobs that take 4 shots. If you look at the xp, killing 2 mobs that take 2 shots each will most likely get you better xp than your 4 shot mob (if this is what you are doing.)
At higher lvls body to mind, Corpse life drain and vampire claw help a lot. I can solo greens for a long time using these (with only self buffs).
Occassonaly you have to take a health potion because of the body to mind.
You are lucky you are not a light elf. They have a harder time of it.

Very much so with no body to mind. We do have the mana regeneration spell but it costs 7 spirit ore at lvl 1. You have to walk or stand for it to work and at lvl 4 it cost 15 spirit ore to cast. Sps have the fastest cast speed but the worst mana management tools.
Fortunatley I'm use to setting around. Or I just chat alot while hunting I lvl slower but mana doesnt go as fast.

i never noticed a difference in mana regen skill while standing or walking
i dont thnik it says that in the skill description either
but you are right its a lame skill, the only way for a le to suceed is with a duel box recharger
Lol, yeah I just figured out that weight thing as well =P
Well as a update im now killing lowbie stuff still gettin 400xp for a one shot kill at 19...gaining 15-20% towards next level until I need to rest for mana, rinse&repeat.
Thank you all for your replies, youve given me many different ways to look at levling and I appreciate your help..Im used to mmorpg's with player communities that would rather flame then help n00bs like myself, so again thank you to all who replied^^

Leveling my Dark elf mystic, as soon as I hit 25, If I was careful, I would never have to stop for mana thanks to body to mind. That treck from 20-25 sure felt long though :D
SpS was considered the best pvp character. Now everyone wants a Necro.
i beleave its because SPS actually comes close to being a glass cannon
with necro's tank like hp it doesnt really matter if they have 5% less cast speed and 3% less damage than a SPS
what matters is they can survive long enough to continue killing
after the AF nerf haveing a melee at arms length can actually kill a sps

Yep, thats also one of the first thing I noticed when I started posting on this forum.
I really rarely get flamed by ppl, almost everytime I get constructive feedback, so just want to follow yor example and say THANKS ALL, YOU GUYS SURE RULE :) :) :)
Also you will se it's mostly the same nice ppl who answers your questions.
I'v seen a lot of "unofficial" forums wher flaming was like a way to comunicat.... its [Censored] irritating.
So once again, welcome to L2 and the L2 board, and just ask away all you like :)

aura bolt works awsome in pve and only costs 29mp for 704 Dmg on white mobs. In pvp it saved my life a couple times but its nothing like what aura flare was when mele got close.
