Chain keeps slipping
Hello! I had my bike taken to a shop 3 times so far, and no one was able to fix my chain slipping problem 
yay. I wasted money on a new cassette and stuff, maybe $150 out the door so far.
So, my 2 highest gears (when going uphill, those gears), are slipping really bad. It's not coming off the chain, I think it's having problems staying on the chain, but it'll slip back onto the smaller gears. Another thing I'll notice is, if ti doesn't slip and it's close to the 2 largest gears while going uphill, it'll start to make a "tick tick tick tick" sound.
So we put a new cassette on, had it adjusted 3 times by two different shops, and still not fixed
What do ya'll think is going wrong here before I take it back to another shop?

Even on a 15k full suspension mountain bike with the absolute top of the top end parts need maintenance regularly and it is not a sign that it is crap it is a sign of being a normal mechanical part and everything that is used needs to be serviced.
Hope should provide instructions on their website or you can reach out to them and get help or your local bike shop can help with that quite easily.
