Mystic or Veno?

I was thinking about Wizard and Psychic in 1st way, they're DDing is really great, but I wanna be more independent, as I don't like relying on squads and other ppl, I love to solo everything and my choice went on Veno. This was my 1st character actually when I was playing PWI for the 1st time (Game Version was only 62 lol). I didn't really played much in PWI blah-blah-blah. To the point, I've decided to choose between Mystic and Veno. And I have some questions in few categories:

1. Solo PvE - Venomancer is the Queen here without doubts, but I think Mystic can become somewhat of a Prince. I know Venomancer is able to solo many if not most things but I'm not sure about Mystics. I know about their high MP usage, but I think it can be kept up with Apothecary/Pots/Charms. Mystic's Summons seem to be worse tanks than Veno's Pets but Mystics' healing spell is faster and Summons's stats depend on char's stats, so maybe it's not that bad. Can some high level Mystic tell, if he/she is able to solo bosses/TT/I dunno what else ? I know it's not AS good as Veno, but I'm asking IF he can.

2. PK - They both aren't 1shotting classes and super DDs, but Mystic has Thicket and 100 level skill making next hit critical (sadly doesn't work with Thicket). So the question here is mote overall: Venomancers and Mystics, how do you do with PK?

3. 1v1 - again, how's with it?

4. TW - how good is Veno there, what is her role? About Mystic it may be more hipothetical, but also, what's their role in TW? Thicket is hardly AoE, so they don't seem to be Crowd Control class, more like a Support, I guess. I would be thankful for telling me a thing or two about it.

Thanks in advance! b:chuckle

    I cant answer all your questions atm, but I can partially answer the TW one. When I used to do TW, I would purge barbs quite a bit at times, and throw amps as much as I could on them, or other targets deemed important to kill. Other times i'd be in a squad where I would pick off clerics and archers with my nix. Then something else I rarely did, since I always would get epic pwnt before I reached the crystal, was to use soul degen on the enemys crystal. Soul degen would stop the crystal from regenerating, and those seconds might not seem like alot in pve, but in TW, it would allow for a rapid reformation and push. As far as mystics go, I have not had one in TW. So I apologize for that. b:surrender

    Venos are really fun to TW with. Im an arcane veno, but in foxform with cleric buffs I can last enough to get away if I have too much on me. Theres never a standing still moment basically. Always on the move. b:victory Hope this helps you in some way. And gl with whichever class you pick :)

    Well, from what I read at guides and your answer, Veno seems a good class for me. The only problem is there's no Male Veno... b:surrender

    Male Mystic~ You get to run around in a man-dress late game. You eat mana like no one's business.

    Venomancer~ You get to run around in pants late game. And you have a tail. AND you can switch your hp/mp values at the click of a button so you can grind endlessly without pots.

    And you have a tail.

    Veno>Mystic to me. XD
