How do you play your Mystic?

You should play support DD....

99% of the time you don't need Sally, just when solo healing pole/nob/ frag sometimes.
Your heals are fast and powerful enough, like in bh 59, you can eaisly overheal an arcane tank, unless your la ha or vit, heals might suck

Mystic is the highest Mage DD class on lvl 150s.

You can't play veno well except for luring... Because pets grown stronger with levels and summon grow stronger with gear... So prior endgame no

and mystics are the anti squad wipe.

I play like a heavy class, I rush, aoe, nuke
But that's just me

Im a lower level Mystic than the two posters above me.
At the moment when im questing I use level 10 Devil Chihyu to attack one mob wile I attack another, I very rarely get hit unless my pet pulls extra mobs when I heal it.

I keep my name white and resurrect on, so if im RPKed I can respawn in the area and don't use exp or drops.

In instances with a parties I tend to turn to healing healer using Salvation on who ever needs her, and use Befuddling Creeper to debuff bosses.

I don't PK yet, but I do win duel often, depending on the class changes my style, and also on how people play there class, but I tend to use Salvation vs P.Damage Players (include Clerics), and for other arcane players I use Devil Chihyu.

I was told today that I seem to play my Mystic like a Cleric - my heals are maxed (skills + res and plants + Salvation) and I generally play a support role in a squad (sometimes we don't even need a Cleric). Apparently, though, a lot of Mystics play like Venos! I know it's your personal play style that matters, but b:surrender was just wondering what the general consensus is on here lol.

Well I'm not sure I know what a "Sally" is but I think the Mystic can be a very varying and busy toon to play but I don't like the Flyers they have, they are Lame-O and SLOW.

Sometimes I am called upon to be a healer which is ok but limited to effectively healing only one player not several.

Sometimes I am in full DD mode and with a cleric healing can dissect a boss and minions quickly as can be.

The main problem I have with this class is the dependence on Guardian Scrolls to keep the Mana drain to a controllable level. Without this added boost the class would be nerfed to about half its power and usefulness. Even if you pump up the Mana poool it would not be enough unless you played very conservatively and cut back on all the stuff that makes a Mystic such a awesome class to play. With my play style I can easily go though a couple of SP scrolls per level in FC or healing DDs in the TB Trench. At my best I'm flat out DDing, Buffing and healing Pet, players and myself while watching for other effects occurring around me or the team.

I'm a somewhat aggressive player. In a squad, I buff all in the squad with Res and try to keep up Pedals when I can, mostly on the Tank 1st and DDs 2nd. I try to keep an eye on the Cleric to keep res buff current but sometime in the heat of battle while I'm attacking and supplemental healing, I forget and bad stuff can and will happen to rookie clerics (Not Noobs just inexperienced). I do for get I'm not a tank and get into trouble taking on more than I can handle. I do best luring and sorting out pesky mobs around bosses for the Tank and DDs. So I would see my Mystic style as a supportive DD and healer. My Mystic res has saved many a would be Failed attempt and salvaged more.

When I solo grind on mobs or Boss' I find it best to have top notch equipment and skills up to date. As a level 89 Mystic I recently destroyed a level 115 mob in 1 on 1 battle. Some times I like to push it to several mobs at a time but I'm always ready to make a get-a-way if I have to. (Better to run away to fight another day I say) I really like that a mystic can fight while flying without damage being nerfed, it is definitely a special and very useful ability which has helped in many ways.

Can't say much about PvP since I have had little experience doing that, having built my toon for PvE and being rather squishy against heavy DDs. Now that my character stats are getting more defined I should start testing the PvP waters for refinement of those skills.

Also when your character level gets higher it is a good idea to have a Genie with well suited skills. I see a genie as a pocket knife ready to assist in a limited way but maybe just enough. Also like a pet that doesn't die.

Wish I knew more but that's about it....

^ I do this too, but switch to heal when need be (i.e. cleric is slow or no cleric at all)

Yes, I know lol... but the thing is

I'll stand in Pole and Nob's aoe to place a healing plant down because I'm not afraid to take the hit, more so the "rush" part's little perk. b:laugh
