Cleric, Mystic or Stormborn

You literally get a flyer at level 10. It takes like an hour at most. idk why the hell that's even still a con.

If you had read my comment, I said in parenthesis (JK.) as in just kidding, it's a joke, don't take it personal or seriously. You've already commented that on the first page, so I believe you must have a certain issue. I understand you get a flyer by level 10, that has been explained. I processed that. But you haven't seemed to process the fact that I mentioned I was kidding. It's like you took a once-over of my comment, became upset, and now you're rudely coming at me. I'm sorry if my comment was misinterpreted, but there's no reason for you to get so upset at me.

Just writing that out, Mystics seem less negative but I'm still attached to Clerics. Any last thoughts?

Think you've had your mind made up all along and you just want people to help confirm it for you.

Anywho, I have a 2nd rb cleric and 2nd rb mystic and enjoy them both. If you want to mainly support your squad with heals and buffs go with cleric. If you want to DD and sometimes jump in with support when needed go with mystic.

It kinda really is that simple. Do you want to support or kick ***? (I know clerics can kick serious *** but in squads their first job is to support and it pisses me off to see clerics DDing and not doing their support role).

Yeah I'm sorry, I'm heavily indecisive. When it comes to two things, I want to choose carefully and I need opinions from time to time. I just don't want to mess up and up regretting it, I've done that too many times and a bit scared that I'll do it again. And I understand what you mean about Clerics DDing, I mean they're a Mage class for a reason and I dislike seeing them with Vit and Dex. builds and I used to gear them in the right direction (such as seeing Clerics with the wrong armor) in Archosaur on my lvl 60 Cleric.

I'm, for the first time, investing a lot of time and money into making an enjoyable character. I had a class that I'm familiar with in mind (Clerics), however without exploring others classes to much, if there's another that provides a better experience--I'd rather choose that one (like a Mystic or Stormbringer) to invest my time into. But if there is no other, I'd revert back to my firsthand decision.

Having others opinions and experiences gives me a glance on which provides something I'd be comfortable with and make a terminal decision to choose as I'm not too personally experienced with the classes I mentioned in-game.

I've played all 3 and I like all 3.
Mystic seems like a good choice for you from what I've read.
In the end, all classes end-game have equal chance to be OP so "betterness" is left up to the level of enjoyment you get out of playing the char + the quality of gear you go with.
But well, on the plus side, either one you choose can share gear so long as you don't push for char-bound things til you're certain.
Then the only down-side of doing a SB is needing an individual weapon since they use a class-specific one.

Personally SB seems to have a very creative set of skills that make it really interesting to play, and running-while-casting is a really fun mechanic while their main downside is their lack of reliable self heal, as apposed to a cleric or mystic.

Cleric's main downside is, from my experience and discussion with people who main clerics, the fact that they are intended as support. You might be an awesome metal mage, but clerics are still the primary source of healing.

Mystics make great healers too, though I'm personally not super-comfortable being the main healer; I feel it's more productive to debuff and dd more than focusing on healing people, but then that's just me. The "pets" are really neat, but maybe my bias as a veno comes through when I say they aren't very tanky (comparatively) though they can do decent damage and are sometimes a less productive use of mana. They do have a tiny mana issue early game, but that goes away more endgame so long as you're not asked to spam heal excessively, though with all the mp foods/pots the game throws at you it's not like it'll cost you much to keep going.

I guess my advice in the end would be, start a Mystic first, and when you start to reach the slowdown in leveling come 80ish you might have time to start a SB alt for a little variety.

Kinda sounds like you'd be most comfy as a cleric b:chuckle

And, that's all folks, hehe.

Thank you everyone for helping me out with my decision, I've chosen to go for Cleric once again, HOWEVER, I'm keeping my Mystic char for now. I'll raise my Cleric until level 50, then do the same with my Mystic. By then, I'll have at least a little less than half of both classes down, experienced and fully enjoyed. I'll go from there of course.

Once again, thank you so so much. Your opinions were very useful not only for my decision, but character development
