Melee Mystic and group healing question.

[Tanus79]

<p>I'm currently only a level 14 Mystic and seem to be picking my AA's around a more melee and solo type of build as well as the gear I choose; I'll replace my Wisdom gear with str or agi if it's over all better. With that being said in the lower levels will I still be able to heal the lower dungeons or am I basically severly hurting myself and the group? If I can still heal relatively well by doing this, is their a certain level or dungeon that I should start switching over to a more healer focused AA build and selection of equipment?</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>First thing, don't take STR gear.  That used to needed but now all priest damage is based upon their WIS (since the SF expansion).  STR will only make you able to carry more weight. </p><p>Eventually, you'll want to buy an AA mirror.  You can then store a more heal oriented spec along with a solo/dps spec and just switch based upon what you want to do.  Once you have enough AAs you can run a hybrid spec that will get you most of what you want for both categories.  There are AA threads here on the mystic boards. </p><p>Edit:  I can't recall if there is a level requirement on the AA mirror. If not, I'd get it as soon as you can.  You can commision one from many crafters.</p>

<p>At level 14 there is not really much on gear that actually helps with healing.  Honestly, it doesn't matter what gear you have if you will be healing at lv 14 with the exception of maybe some gear with +power on it so you don't run out of power.  Much more important that gear at that low of a level is spell upgrades: <em>make sure you chose your Single Target ward for your grandmaster choices</em></p><p>Also, get adepts or experts (or even masters if you can find/afford them) to help immensly with healing, and don't use your higher level heal spells if they don't heal more than your old Master or Grandmaster Heal spells</p><p>When soloing Wis and mitigation gear are nicer becuase Wisdom adds to your spell and CA damage, with mitigation helping you take less damage from enemies.  And +power and Wisdom are vital in making sure you don't run out of power too quickly</p>
