New 5 man Dungeon "Pibish's Laboratory"
BHS has added some much needed PVE content yesterday, and they added a new 5 man instance dungeon called "Pibish's Laboratory".
Pibish's Laboratory is now a stepping stone between the Black Tower and Labyrinth of Terror.
So now the PVE Dungeon Progression will go :
Sky Garden -> Black Tower (junior)/Labyrinth of Terror (junior)-> Pibish's Laboratory (normal) -> Labyrinth of Terror (senior)/Black Tower (senior) -> Kelsa's Nest (junior) -> Kelsa's Nest (senior)
As for Pibish's Laboratory here are videos of the Boss fights :
Hope you Enjoy !

the encounters looked pretty boring, I dunno wasn't really interested in the pve of the game anyways. I think it is lame that there is only one tank class and only one healing class. Maybe they branch into new things like lineage 2, I have no idea. But I personally think the more the better when it comes to classes.
If you dont understand what they are doing, these video''s are rather dull, whats left from the so much praised innovative combat system, the 2 videos i watched looked rather much like tank and spank.

Tera has 2 tank classes, Lancer and Warrior. Warrior is just a much harder class to play so most are scared to invite one to a party. But great ones like Nalfen can tank anything.
Tera also has 2 healing classes, Priest and Mystic. I've seen a Mystic solo heal in Kelsa's Nest Senior Np.
Hey Kumapon, how well can a Mystic solo pvp? Are they decent dps? Can they hold thier own against other classes?
Looks like a bunch of generic tank n' spank encounters to me. The "Lancer" just stands in one spot mashing abilities while the DPS takes the enemy down and the healer heals. Am I wrong?
I definitely don't expect them to have fights that actually require some amount of skill/strategy past knowing your abilities in the earlier dungeons, but if they're going to release extra content due to a lack of interesting content, at least make the content interesting. :P
Who's idea was the Lancer class? Most of the videos I've seen have been of PvP with other classes, so this is the first time I've seen the Lancer played from a first person perspective (in third person view of course. :P). I've gotta say, it just looks absurd. Lances don't work like that, and I can't imagine how a lance would be better than a sword or mace.
Sarcasm is not a crime!
Actually Mystic is the Pet class of TERA. So I don't know if you want to play a pet class. It's just that their pets currently don't scale very well. So nobody goes down the DD path, almost all Mystics I know of go down the healing/buffing path.
Tera doesn't have skill trees, but they have Glyphs and Crystals that can change what your play style is.
Mystics have heals, but they also make orbs, which they throw on the ground for people to pick up. So if your tank dies you can blame him for not picking up your orbs..lol
So Mystics do sub par dd, but you can set up a mystic to have lots of heals and buffs and be a bitch to kill in Pvp.
My guess is they got the Lancer class idea from Monster Hunter, as it's currently one of the more popular games in Asia.
If you want more Lancer play check out this video, this is Steparu in Black Tower junior
Also if you notice a Mystic is solo healing this instance
Black Tower
I still can't wait to play this. I don't care how bad people say it's doing in Korea. It still has quite a few servers full. Plus it could be a hit here. Looks fun to me.
Nice, thanks for the info I do appriciate it. Usually play with a group of people in game. We have a static so we like to have a well rounded group for pvp and PVE and I also like to solo. I tend to play the support class and I was thinking of going mystic although I am not sure.
Any info on how well the Zerker does in pvp solo and with a priest healer in pvp as well? I like to get first hand knowledge from people other than videos of youtube. Thanks a ton for the previous info though.

Zerkers wear heavy armor, so they can take a hit, but are slow as hell when it comes to melee dmg (Hey they got those massive 2 hd axes to carry around..lol), and they have allot of charge attacks. Most zerks go for ATT speed+ whenever or wherever they can. But when a zerker does hit, it does a ton of DMG. So this is a very burst DMG class. Burst dmg classes are always good in PVP right?
Also with no tab targeting, you whiff allot of your attacks. But I have seen a charge attack crit for like 80% of a players HP.
Priests have the lowest HP pool, lowest damage, lowest Critical Hit, lowest weapon damage, wield Staffs, and wear cloth armor. Their squishiness of course is offset by the fact they can heal themselves to 100% HP constantly.
But Priests do have Sharas Lullaby, quite simply, is a Lock-On sleep. You can lock down anyone with this spell. Priests use range spells for their melee with a max range of 10 meters.
Thanks again Kuma. One more question. I am sorry to inundate you with all these questions hah but first hand knowledge is great.
One more big question since me and the wife will be playing. What is the best classes to duo for pvp?
Mystics also have access to the widest array of CC skills in the game. They have a multi target stun, sleep, slows, fear, and the ability to increase the cooldowns for enemies.
A healing class either Mystic or a Priest and a DD class. Preist/Sorc combo is nice, lots of CC and both of you have range skills while the priest has lots of AOE heals. You will be a zerks worst nightmare that is for sure..lol
Another good combo is Mystic/Slayer, lots of dodging skills, CC, and healing to frustrate the enemy.
