Hey I have an account of a phy classes. BM,SIN,SEEKER,ARCHER. I'd like to make another account devoted to roling mag classes. Problem is I cant decide which is best for me, when i orginally began i had a wiz and didnt really enjpy the style too slow passed even with channel rings,nor did i enjoy the verbal abuse of clerics wether being fail or lagging. I like fast paced combat hence why i have predominately phy classes. Id like a nice mag class beside wiz amd cleric that can compliment my current chars well if they rolled am instance together, out of the question they MUST NUKE. Im leaning towards more a psy or mystic but before anyone gives thier oppinion. I spent over 2k CSimg my phy classes hope it doesnt need to get that high for mu mag classes. So as a main for a mag class what would be a good and affordable mag class that i wont spend more then 500 for endgame. Im ppen minded to all but wiz, and cleric. Thanks all

    Mystics have summond pets (sort of like venos) A mystic is also able to heal partys as a sub- healer.
    IUf you like magic classes you could go with one till level 30 and see how it goes.

    If you like dropping down other classes like BM'sBarbs anything that hurts, go as a psy, psy's are really fun i currently have a 64 psy that i love ahaha

    No, you can't make an end-game r9rr caster char for just $500 unless you merch that money first.

    Honestly i was going to male archer R9 geez i have to do the same with psy. Is the cost effecting factor really worth it? I mean every single psy i see has 10 (any good ones anyway) but is it trurly worth it? I guess i can pump $1500 for R9 but id like input,before i swipe my card thanks.

    I'm guessing not many endgame mystics are posting here so I'm gonna vouch for MYSTIC. We are underplayed and very OP when played right.

    I doubt there's a lot of end game mystics if any. on HL we don't have any full R9rr with the rest.

    Thanks for the input since it really didnt seem nobody would speak for you guys. But ill be honest ever since my bn got G16 as long i had chi even R9 mystics werent that big of a deal to handle. So how are they OP i wont lie. Thier support skills are amazing but how are they OP and would the pets really be all that in pvp? I mean veno nix used to put fear in the souls of people now they are usually many peoples drum sticks lol. Anyways besides the awesome support skills how would a mystic fair as a DDer and Nuke because i wanna mag pvp aswell as fine squads?

    mystics dont have pets- they have summons, which is something many people, even mystics don't understand- they should be thought of as skills that last a very long time in the shape of a creature - a devil on def mode acts like soul of stunning- or used offensively- a long range spammable stun. Falling petals buys you time after being attacked- much like soul of silence gives psys time to react. The absorb soul combo is ridiculous. Anti-stun bm rushing u or a wiz channeling long ulti? pffft say hi to bramble tornado. gale force- fast channel huge diameter- sexy procs- chain it with lucky break and/or spark to see some wtfbbqsauce destruction. Those are some examples of what mystics can do with dd. you already said they are good at support- and they are with almost every debuff known to pwi, and some nice crowd control with thicket, gale, listless, tornado. The instant heals well... what can i say- theyre effin instant heals. pdef is super sexy by default. If you're worried about finding squads for pve well, GL to whatever sqds turn down a legit mystic- sucks for them- sqd wipes are near impossible if the mystic knows which way is up. as a matter of fact, **** sqds, mystics can solo everything pve related- delta, tm, fcc, bh etc.. well, i guess any class with endgame gear can do that nowadays. Going back to the comparison- psys biggest advantage would be the long range aoes, and mystics would be the control they have. I probably missed stuff but i'm to lazy to even format this block of txt, so im done tinking for now.

    Do you HAVE to be R9 to be effectively endgane with them though?

    I suggest a Psy, Psy are nukes during TW, with their AOEs basically they are deadly when it comes to TW, massive pk, and NW.
    They hit hard because of their attack level increased when you are in Black Vodoo state mode.
    They have also descent defenses such as SoV and SoS. ( I forgot their name so I am just giving you the acronym)

    The con part of playing a psy class, is that they are very vulnerable and squishy when at the Black Vodoo state mode because it lowers your Defense level sacrificing it for increasing your attack level.


    But if I were you, try it and see for yourself.

    I would tell you about mystic but my intellect for it is a bit edgy. So i won't give you my opinion about it.


    P.S. The purify stats on weapon for 3rd cast R9 is FABULOUS!

    Alright im rolling a psy and ill do mystic alternating whichever i prefer ill stick with but does anyone know which is more expensive? Ik psy are expensive because of refines but what about mystics? Which would be cheaper and about how much more cheaper or more expebsive then the other?

    The thing in general is this.

    Nowadays competitive endgame is R9 third cast with at least +10 overall refines and decent shards.

    Psys get a natural bonus from all this due to so many of their skills being based off soulforce while other classes just gain standard defense/offense. Mystics get a slight benefit in their summons but you're not gonna use them for real offense against someone equally geared anyways so much as for extra support which makes it a bit of a moot point.

    At the end of the day, they're going to cost around the same if you truly plan to get either into a competitive endgame, so cost becomes less of a factor so much as what you plan to do with them, your playstyle, which is better suited to the job, and which you're more comfortable with.
