As I understand it, the new consumables will automatically give the user the "appropriate" buff, based on their class type.

DPS / Tanks will get crit power
Healers will get attack speed

why

So as a mystic,...
...if I want to swap on a certain boss to dps, I just have to suck it and use attack speed.
...if i'm out killing IOD Bams, I just have to suck it and use attack speed.

I guess I should feel lucky.
Although I'll have to do a bunch of BAM quests to get the mandatory, crit-buffing dragon mount, at least there should be plenty of groups going in LFG, because of the way the quests are so well designed to actively encourage cooperative play in parties.
I really can hardly wait to play that mini-game, Synchronise-the-BAM-quest.
Yesterday we had a really close game that went into overtime for half an hour!!
Unequip..... wait.... Equip....wait...."didn't change"
Unequip..... wait.... Equip....wait...."didn't change"
It was ca-raaazy let me tell you. And in the end it never did change. My, Oh my, didn't we all LOL at that.
I guess if we can't choose our quests, there's no reason to expect to be able to choose our buffs. RIP Mystic DPS.

    I usually dps with mystic, and I don't even use charms, Thrall of Wrath just kills the boss, and other dps classes can afk, have a drink and catch breath :expressionless:

    Thrall of Wrath won't even kill one top tier BAM by itself (and probably not mid tier).
    Thrall of Wrath CD.... 5 mins per BAM...
    I wish for the days when it took a whole party to kill a BAM but not quite like that.

    Some early lvl 65 dungeons, but Mystic is a dps support, not a full support, if you wanna do it in high lvl dungeons, then that needs an expert team which needs less healing, also mana shortage gonna be troubling for them. also Speed was always a help for mystic.

    With the new changes that Bluehole made to simplify consumables, you don't have to worry about it anymore since you get all the buffs you need from a single item!

    It depends, it can brought down to less CD, also Thrall Of Wrath can kill anything, as long as that thing doesn't move around, release it on Plant Boss of Sabex, and see what happens. even with lvl 64 avatar weap or even not fully enchanted T8 weap. I kill it sooner than any other class I ran it.

    ....and as long as that thing has less than 10 seconds worth of Hit Points for Thrall to munch away at.

    Uh oh its already in the game for like 4-6 weeks if you are elite. Nostrum forcefully gives your healing class attack speed scroll. You have no power here BHS tells you. You shouldn't even think which scroll you can use with particular boss. It's attack speed from now on, they have spoken.

    They did that on purpose, or have you not paid attention at all? They literally removed the ability for viability when doing double healer, DPS mystics are going to be dead now in anything except possibly slaying runs where absolutely no one expects to get hit, which I don't think happens, mistakes happen even in those runs, which is why they ran double healer in the first place. If you want to complain, complain about Korea's attitude towards double healing parties. Although I do think the best legitimate complaint to pull out of this all, is that they are forcing your iframes to be shortened, no idea why they don't just make it so attack speed doesn't affect the iframe skills, but BHS is dumb I guess.

    It's not just mystic DPS that the OP is talking about. He's also talking about solo content on alts like IoD, but I guess BHS doesn't care about that anymore.

    There will be so many DPS due to the short attention span of most people browsing the web.
