Why will you choose a Mystic?

Now that there is a Mystic forum. I was wondering...

Of the two new Earthguard classes, why do you choose a Mystic over the Seeker?


That is, of course, assuming that you're willing to roll one of the two.

I, myself, would probably go Mystic, as a Veno is my main, and I like playing support, but not the main healer. Being a side healer and support would be fun.

    I would say Mystic because they seem more of an all around support class, heals venos pets, players, able to DD from at far, and able to tank w/ pet. So that seem more appealing to me, that and they are a casting class ^_^.

    so pretty much i can help anyone an be able to heal them as well as solo when i'm feeling more anti-social

    The only way they can do all those things if they follow a pure AA squishy build... i'm just assuming at this point.


    More off topic just thinking about it, so will a mystic will be able to go LA like a veno or HA? or will this be very unbeneficial to them?

    I have been looking forward to playing a mystic!

    I like playing casting classes!
    I like supporting!
    They look much more like the class I wanted to play when I first started out!


    Clearly, mystics are a great aid to a squad and to clerics. What I am curious about is how much or in which instances or aspects of the game a mystic can replace a cleric. I think a mystic and veno combo could work extremely well! I am also very curious to see how the mana cost is, how the time limit on the various summons and plants works, etc..

    But how strong will the tanking pets be?
    I don't think it'll be as strong as herc/nix but will it be enough?

    yep, that's my reason aswell. and yes, since they use the existing weapons, they will be able to be LA. but not, the only sucessful spell caster with LA will remain the veno. only reason HA can work on a veno is because of it's fox form skill, and the skill that allows them a higher P attack in fox form. a HA mystic would be a rousing fail... however, i will be creating a LA mystic^^

    i've heard they have a very high mana consumption habit, so the most effiecient biuld in terms of that would be the squishy arcane full mag biuld. however, if yer an insane apoth like me, focus powders will make up for the low mp tank O.o

    Mystic represents an opportunity to be the wiz that I never got to be. I can be a medium ranged caster. I can still be a carebear. I would have more survivability.

    I am hoping mystic will be good in squads and also strong when going solo. They can cover many roles at least decently and it will be fun to see how that balances out.

    My only worry is that they might not have enough AoE ability for higher level caves like fcc and delta.

    For convenience reasons.

    The mere thought of having to refarm TT for HA is not appealing.

    Oh, and the other stuff too. And because magic classes are what I'm comfortable with.

    I agree with you, this is the class I have been waiting for! I have a main who was my Veno, but once Mystic comes out I think my veno is going to become second alt that I never play. I may use my veno once in awhile to tame awesome cosmetic pets for my mystic. Other than that I will be playing full on Mystic.

    The reason is I love being able to heal, I love pet classes, and I love the flying gliders mystics have. I also love the character customization for Earthguard, and the skill animations.

    So all in all it is the perfect class for me.

    Yes it is, cause at least you only need lvl 1 for that "ress scroll-ish" effect.

    They get both the ring and a feather to choose your flyer based on race, but its timed (the flyer of course).

    i shared that worry but, it should be ok, mystics get aoe curse traps that damage enemies if you make them explode, u have 2 summons that are capable of AOEing, (the 2nd and 4th) and you get 2 attack skills that are AOE. So i think we will get away with it b:thanks

    at least i hope so lol...

    I'm going after mystie because my two favourite classes are veno and cleric - but when playing veno I feel bad about not having any buffs and heals to help my party more, and while playing cleric I miss veno's soloing ability and survivability. Mystic is a bit of both, so it should be perfect for me.

    Also seeker doesn't appeal to me a slightest bit. I'm just not into the physical classes.

    I play cleric because I like being able to be independent. Don't do squads or factions. However I tend to find that I'm only ever using two skills which gets pretty dull. The buffs are okay but there's nothing clever about them. So I'm really hoping that the Mystic is going to be the great taste of everything. It sounds like it's going to have a big arsenal of tricks that should keep the player entertained with versatile combos (or so I'm hoping). As long as the survivability isn't too low it should be fun. It actually sounds like it might unbalance the game by making other classes obsolete and generally being overpowered.

    I'm gonna make a Mystic beacuse after playing over 2 years on my Cleric and random alts I would really like to make a new character and settle down with a new main. Honestly, one of the things that attracts me the most about the Mystics are their flashy skills :P. I also like that they're partly a support class with a ress (pseudo ress), buffs, debuffs (using plants) and heals. Being a Mystic will let me keep some of the supporting abilities of my Cleric as well as try a whole new way of fighitng with the summons and plant summons. Not to mention, who knows what playstyles Mystics will bring to the table; maybe luring, or DD, perhaps tanking with pets? And, on a last note, I took a Botany class last semester, did great, and now I'm all about plants and nature/ b:victory .
