I want a class as main but I'm not sure about it, any suggestion? I was thinking about a Psy, Mystic or a Barb

The one that you like most.

Salari - Raging Tide

only you can answer that question b:victory

Evryn - Morai

Whatever you like most:
Barb: "Punch me all you want, I'll take that and ask for more! Oh. And zhe aggros are mines!"
Barbs take blows for the party and buff party HP by a lot. They also make physical attacks more powerful. Parties will readily take a barb, even if he can't hold aggro. Barbs are in high demand for Flowsilver, since one boss almost requires you to have a barb in party. Not so great for soloing since you kinda need a healer for most activities.

Psy: "Aqua Impact! Earth Grasp! Aqua Impact! Earth Grasp! Not dead yet? Okay, Aqua Impact! Earth Grasp!"
A Psychic is a water/earth elemental damage dealer. 'nuff said. Their debuffs and party buffs aren't all that great. White Voodoo can be handy to avoid drawing aggro or to increase your own resilience. It's a straightforward class to play, much like the Wizard (even simpler then wizard imho). Just shoot your enemies until they fall over. The AOE over time heal the psy has can be handy at times, but is too slow to be reliable.

Mystic: "How shall I kill you this time... Pet metal damage? Wood damage? Physical? Decisions, decisions..."
Mystics are versatile. They have cheap, expendable pets that don't do great damage but can be effective for distracting and luring. They have plants that can attack or debuff - or aoe heal. They've got a very fast targeted heal which can be handy if a squishy comes under fire. And they've got a reliable ranged wood attack, and a long-channeling ranged physical attack.
However, mystics don't excel in anything. They aren't the best healers (Cler). They aren't the best petowners (Veno) and they aren't the best damage dealers (Archer/Sin for phy, Wiz/Psy for ele). They've got nice party buffs, but those only become available at level 100+ after Morai, AND some require end cultivation too.

Of the three classes you listed, the Mystic is best for solo play.

I want to add... if you build your barb certain way, you won't need healer in any instance. Demon str/aps barbs don't need buffs, heals or charm to survive from endgame content if they know what they're doing. Sunder+Arma = overkill b:dirty not to mention the heal from spark is all u need for most bosses.

Str-barbs have very good DPS even against anti-aps bosses.

Pfffft which class to roll? No brainer m8, I'll explain this in a few steps

1. Roll sin

2. Watch Zsw, Rinc, Bait, Kyougu, Tsyren, zFlashx and Hesoka vids

3. Play like them (This requires you to be asian, s-class caucasian OR indian)

4. CS r9rr +12, all the best NW gears and endgame shards (think JoSD/Deity)

5. Get all the best S cards recasted twice

6. Profit

See how easy it is? gg m8

I suggest trying them out, and seeing what you think about them.

It will also help us a lot if you tell us your playstyle, and what you're looking for in a class.

Healing?
Defenses?
Range?
Offenses?
Pets?
Debuffs?
Magic? Melee?
Solo?
Group?
PvE? PvP?

All of these things are important factors to consider when choosing a class, and in asking for help choosing one.

Telling of your own experiences with classes in other MMO's may help also.

Mystic is the answer to this question 'cause mystics are the bests for almost everything.
