I know someone posted the post 20 spells but I would like to see what we get pre 20.</div><div> </div><div>other then that , cant really comment yet he only lvl 5 on newbie isle ... but any info on the pre 20 spells would be great.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>ohhh another thing, I will either go Alchemy or Sage ... cant decide .... is being able to make your own spells that much better then a array of potions?</div>

An SOE link for the level 10-19 spells is here:http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/classes/index.vm?classId=18I can't really speak to the sage v. alchy thing.  I have alts who are  level 60 provisioner, 57 jeweler and 36 alchy.  I like the potions, but probably like making my own jewelry and food more.Rudhi52 mystic<div></div>

I have a Barb Mystic on Lucan DLere and I must say I think it's truely the happy medium between Tank and Non-Tank.They get good armor as they level and combined with the Barbs attributes and the Priest/Shaman/Mystic Healing and Buffs you can solo quite nicely with little down time.

<div></div><p>I enjoy my barb mystic.  I was concerned when the changes to +int damage bonues came out, but   since I don't do any DPS anyway there's really still no reason to worry about int.    I often brag about how low I can keep mine. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   Dang just wish all the really nice +wis drops didn't have equal amounts of +int,  at this rate  Bacca may be able to spell his entire name soon.</p><p>The sub20 spells seem likely to change substantially soon as the concept of Priest and Shamman are about to be done away with.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Please keep in mind that they are revamping the game 1-19 to remove the archetype system.  Probably within a month, that link of spells will be out dated.My Mystic is a sage, but I have always had a strong guild structure to make me subcombines and to use the spells I make.  I also have an alchemist.  I would say that having access to a sage that will do free or near-free work is very very useful, whereas I have never really found much value in the potions I can make aside from damage shield potions.<div></div>

<font color="#6666ff"><font face="Comic Sans MS">kewl thnkx for the quick info, I will keep the revamp in mind, have they stated exactly how its going to revamped or just a general "hey we gonna screw with this, and give you the exacts when we feel like it"im kinda thinkin i gonna go sage cause i also have a bard that is workin on provisioning and loggin to grab food and mail to my mystic is no big issue for me at all. or even to drop into the shared vault ... so food is covered.also thinkin about just makin a alt for the alchemy crap also ... so yeah .. sage it is <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></font></font><div></div>

They are removing the archetype structure for picking your class.This means that you are no longer a priest for 9 levels before you are a shaman, and you are no longer a shaman for 10 levels before you are a mystic.At character creation you will be picking mystic and will start the game as a mystic.  And instead of the spells priests get now, you will get mystic flavored versions.Note that if you make a character now, and reach say, level 9, and make some upgraded spells, when the revamp hits, you will get to choose which priest you wanted to be, and your existing priest spells will be replaced with spells for that class at the same upgrade levels.If you had leveled to level 10 in qeynos and chosen shaman, you will automatically be a mystic, and all the spells you have will be replaced with spells for mystic spells at the same upgrade levels.If later, you betray to freeport, upon completing the quest, your class will change to defiler and your mystic spells will be replaced with defiler spells at apprentice 1.And that is about all they have said about it.<div></div>

I wonder how many people will do that.  That's gonna be interesting to see.How many Templars will switch to Inquisitor.  How many Assassins will go Ranger.  Fun stuff.<div></div>

<font color="#ff0066">Wow is there a official post on those changes? I would like to read up more on that if there is more info on it, or a entire post ... which forum is it in?</font><div></div>

From Test Update Notes:<b>City Betrayal</b>- The city betrayal quests currently remain as they were. These quests will be changing significantly in a future update. For example, you will be able to betray your city at any level.<div></div>

Check the Test Update section. It's LU19a and 19b.   Many many changes. Weeping haze is supposed to have it's timer reduced also. But that's about the only bone we are being thrown. I don't know how many people play mystics on test, but I don't think it's a whole lot.<div></div>

They probably will allow you to continue betraying...but the caveat is that each time all your spells become apprentice 1.<div></div>

<div></div>If you make a Barbarian Mystic (like me) be prepared for some major annoying graphical errors. Armor clipping is a huge thing for my barbarian. Another is that when Barbarian's shoulders go up it looks odd. Try /cheer or cast your DD spell (Cold wind, etc.) and see what I mean. Half of your head goes into your chest when looking down. Like I said, lots of annoying graphical errors that have more than once had me considering rerolling.

<div></div><p>Ok slightly off the topic, it might be just my woodelf, but does anyone else have a problem with the hear no evil emote?  my hands go right thru my head for that one.  Tangent off the topic I know, but had to ask.  i've /bugged it several times and hasnt changed</p><p> </p>

[Eepop]

There are tons of emote problems for all classes.  In general it seems like any fix to emotes is way too low on the totem pole to get any attention.<div></div>

[Thandi]

<div>specially with the revamps that are coming up and the pvp implement ... emotes are like a -3 on the things to do list :/</div><div> </div>
