My friends mystic is already in the 60 range, thats not really a baby anymore. Ppl are just going to alt fc them up to 100 then run around on them killing everything in sight. So really, we have to start worrying about them on monday because we all know that theres going to be lvl100 mystics/seekers by next week. b:surrender

Harshlands already has level 80+ Mystics.

It's a problem already, and it's only been three damn days.
Mystics hit like Wizards, Tank like Venomancers, and Cast like Psychics. I squaded with a level 72 Mystic today. She hit faster than I did. My Psychic is almost 82.

There's something wrong with this picture, and it's NOT my channeling time. (Which is -18 with my gear...and I've dropped some items due to being Zombie'd twice today.)

I won't mention how the Seekers are doing, and how certain people have already one shotted a large mass of us with Omnislash.
(By the way, PWE! I'm sure Square Enix would be thrilled to know you've taken Cloud Strife's move and slapped it on your Seeker. I wonder how that lawsuit would turn out if we mentioned the Tree in the Tideborn lands too....)

Only annoying thing I see with this is it makes the OP cata pullers that little bit harder to kill. Gotta clear out the EPs AND mystics now.

seriously though I fail to see how the rez skill is any different than buying infinite amount of rez scrolls and distributing them to your squads - same situation "killed person" can lay there on the ground and then when your back is turned and you are fighting someone else, pop up, spam a pot and attack you.

why havent people been QQing about the easy availability of rez scrolls in the game

probably the only reason it doesnt happen more is cost - and as the rez skill has a high mana cost, I feel it is on a par with the rez scroll, especially at higher levels. but it does have the benefit of reducing exp loss - always a bonus

Because nobody actually does that. Before now, I specifically remember a group fight against a r9 archer with +12 gear. Let's say it was 8v8 or 9v9. Well, the r9 archer needed the full attention of my entire team, then he res scrolled. In this case, he was the only one doing it, so we could focus him back down. He still got a kill or two before dying, but we could quickly get everyone's attention on him.

Now if instead we've got a BM, an archer and a sin all with that buff, or hell, their entire squad, that's something else. I sincerely doubt they'll all conveniently die right next to each other and res at the exact same time, so as to be AOEd; they'll die all over, meaning you've gotta keep an eye on them AND on those who're still alive. When you res, even if you die immediately upon ressing, you're buying time for your team and distracting the enemy. Yes, this is useful. It's especially useful in cases where the class coming back is capable of doing some decent damage without MP or chi, or can build chi quickly (sin, archer, bm).
And like I said, if I'm sitting at west, an archer attacks me and dies, and shortly after a BM and I get into a stun fight, guess when that archer will res to attack me? Lots of cheap mofos always looking for good opportunities.

Maybe it's different on PVE servers, I've always heard you guys fight a little different. No idea though.



Another issue I addressed was ganked fights. Let's say your guild never PKs so you're forced to regularly fight at least 5v1 odds. If everyone can res, how the balls can you hope to make it even remotely close to taking them all out. You CANNOT reduce their damage output by killing a person because they'll just res back, and trust me, waiting on that corpse to get up is suicide; you don't have that kind of time when you've got multiple people on you. Kind of obvious that the ganker side would win, but my point is that fights are even MORE frustrating and hopeless when being ganked now.

still dont think you should be compllaining or even annoyed about this skill... if this skill makes mystics wanted in group PvP then u should rejoice over it because we do not have any good PvP oriented skills. and our support skills are not all that great.

our main job in group pvp id imagine would be to AoE debuff with our plants and cast revive here and there. wont be all that game changing or revolutionary even with revive. especially because of the MP cost... mystics PvP abilities are not impressive at all.

people like to QQ. that is all. if it wasn't this it would be something else.. in fact if you check the forums you will find the something else is also being QQed about. isn't PWI fun?

mystics will be very popular. i buffed one and she gave me a rez spell buff that lasts 15 minutes. COOL!!!!
now unfortunately she died but she had the rez spell and came back to like BUT her hp bar was near gone and she had to meditate.
if only clerics could give a rez buff. i cant wait until mystics do bh69b:chuckle

Lemme put it this way: 6v6 fight. My squad has me, a wizzie, a two BMs, an arcer and a Barb. Other squad has a sin, two BMs, a Mystic, a wizzie and an archer. Fight starts, the BM and the sin go at me, I Psy will, I'm able to kill them, and then I move on to the archer. The moment my sights are on the archer and my Psy will is off, I have a 5aps sin and a BM getting up, running towards me again. Yes they have no chi and no health, but because of the Mystic res alone, I either need to watch their bodies like a hawk or go out of my way to put distance between myself and those bodies. And sins in particular are very good at building chi back up: they've basically granted themselves two sins. Either way, it's a whole new dimension of an obstacle to overcome; if my squad can't provide this same obstacle, we're at a disadvantage. If I watch the bodies and target and shoot them as they get up, that buys the other squad members time to shoot at me freely. If I take care to put distance between myself and their bodies, that still buys the enemy time.

Sounds like you never fought a full charmed squad with a +40% -chan cleric with Demon Res before.

I mean, the only advantage on team PvP is the mystic can ress themselves and the squad can be res buffed at the start. Charms make the hp/mp bonus from mystic res practically useless (and maybe more dangerous since they get 50% HP back, the charm may not tick when they come back to life), so ressing with more MP/HP compared to cleric res isn't really an advantage on PvP.

But with a 30 second cooldown, I'm sure a Cleric will still be more troublesome cause they can spam their res skill faster, even tho they can't ressurect themselves.

I think the cleric+mystic combo is gonna be an interesting thing to see on TW. Cata barbs are gonna be even more OP and impossible to kill.
