Why i prefer to be mystic rather than other classes.

BM: Have one but I like the idea of using one certain type of weapon and not relying on several different ones for skills. Didnt get very far.
Wiz: Made one and it became a matt bank
Cleric: Fun to play for a while but in the end everyone just wants you to bubble and thats it. If you dont do it"perfectly" squad yells at you.
Archer: Enjoyable, to say the least
Barb: Made one in 2010 but I dont remember much about it now. deleted it ages ago
Veno: again made one in 2010 but deleted it, made a new one recently and didnt like it right off the bat.
Psy: I came with the tideborns in 2010 a psy was/is my main. It's squishy but a cannon to say the least. Primal skills feel really horrible for the combining. Over all I enjoyed playing it all these years.
Sin: >.> Stealth killing is kinda fun plus bp is nice. I like playing the sin as well but it's over populated and there are too many bad sins.
Mystic: Made one but never played it
Seeker: My adorable ranged tanker<3 Love playing it just something fun about it. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm not squishy anymore when i switch between psy and seeker.
new classes: I really have no desire to play them.

There is no class like mystics for me and my friends on pwi know I'm very dedicated to it. I have a wiz alt in attempt to try something new but things go soo slow on her...And I feel naked without my res, plants and pet summons. In fact I love mystic so much that I'm working on a guide which is going to be posted on this forum. Just finished the content but I need to spell/grammar check it and make the layout more readable.also need some of my friends to review it. b:cute and to top it all I'm excited and nervous ...what if no one reads it...what if everyone hates it....b:shocked.things are not as bad for mystics as when I started playing but it is still an underestimated class and many who plays mystics struggles with it in different ways.

Can't wait to see your guide Aziza!!! b:dirty Mystic's rule, others drool! b:cute

Another perk of demon I forgot to mention: the increased freeze rate on Gale Force is very nice. Sage gets the extra slow, but enemies can still Holy Path when slowed - they can't when frozen. Also helps keep mobs from running away when sealed in pve so you don't annoy squadmates as much.

I cannot cite this but I can corroborate it with more subjective information b:chuckle. There is an abundance of 100+/rb sins on RT. We have much fewer mystics, wiz, and veno. In fact, the only wiz I see are r9r3 ones, don't see many T3 or lower unless they are bh alts. Basing this on my 3+ years of being on that server and making squads for various things. b:laugh

Note: even though my avatar is a wiz, my first character, my main is a mystic. Can't change avatars

I don't care about your 'subjective information', which isn't information at all, just feels. Citation or gtfo.


@Aziza: Looking forward to your guide.

And in 90% of mesages that recruits ppl for squads in wc you will find this at the end:
NO MORE SINS.

Quite the same on Morai actually. Maybe not 90% but you can see messages like that every day, and I have never seen any message like that for any other class.
That being said, I have never understood that kind of messages for PVE stuff...

Certain instances (Flowsilver, Abaddon weekly, Advanced Expanded Universe off the top of my head) have physically immune mobs or bosses that have to be killed. Take too many sins and that doesn't leave enough spots for casters to kill the physical immunes.

Right in a way.. but in this case you might not take BM/barb anymore as well.

The luxury of being wellgeared as mystic is that you can really evolve and use your talents and you often don't have to care what classes are in your squad..for example..if I want to do fw I Tele and take whatever I get as long as all pavs are covered. I don't have to care if they can heal tank or dd well..I don't have to care about if they have buffs for me since I got Abba pots for that..just some reasons it Rocks to be myst oh And it's so fun when someone thinks mystics can't tank or pull and then see their eyes pop out when they realize how quick And painless a run they dropped into (hating mobless btw..not fun)

I agree partially. b:victory Mystics lend themselves well to a multitasking playing style which is certainly enhanced by better gear. It's also efficient for mystics to tank and pull because you don't need hp pots often with break in the clouds and falling petals. However, I do think that most pve instances have become underpowered; t3 is easier to access and the addition of primal passives makes people tankier. Squad roles have therefore become more flexible in general.

Also, your example about people being surprised to see mystics do things they didn't think mystics would normally do is probably related to the apparent lack of good mystics. However, even though we rock at multitasking sometimes if you do it too well, people feel they aren't needed. If there is a barb in squad sometimes they get butthurt if you tank and some clerics really get annoyed. I have met several clerics that told me that they didn't like mystics because they try to outheal them. So, it's a good idea to be aware of how the barb and cleric are performing. If the cleric is on the ball, I try not to make it look like I"m taking over their job. Sometimes, clerics prefer to DD in UVD and if so, then I heal and DD and they purely DD. It's all about communicating. But still, it's the flexibility that mystics have that permits this in the first place. b:victory

Another thing that makes mystics rock: if you want high output DD but don't want to get aggro because the barb wants/needs to tank like at toad in FS, for example, absorb soul doesn't add aggro and I guess you could pull out "Crapplord" as well hehe. b:cute

Saying something is 90% of something is not a subjective statement, that is an objective statement. Do you need a dictionary?

Like i said, citation or gtfo. If you go around making bogus claims im going to call you on it. And if your can't provide evidence it's proof that you are full of bull. It's not a deflection it's a response. Just because you say things without thinking about the consequences doesn't mean i have to give you a pass. And calling me a troll doesn't make me a troll, it just means you don't want to defend your statement. Too bad.

A lot=/=90% to all the laymens that don't understand.

1. "Saying something is 90% of something is not a subjective statement, that is an objective statement." -I grant you this. However, I never said that. I just said "a lot" and I did not say 90% equaled "a lot" If you had taken the time to read my other post instead of saying "I don't care about your subjective information" you would have seen that I was utilizing the word "subjective" and its variants correctly, realizing that it was in fact subjective and not objective, but it was the only thing I could offer.

2. "Do you need a dictionary?" -No, thank you. Good to know you own one. I was worried.

3. "Like i said, citation or gtfo. If you go around making bogus claims im going to call you on it." -I never made bogus claims. You started asking Bloodebone87 for a citation. I simply offered, based on my experience, how I perceive the RT server population and was replied to in a very rude fashion.

4. "And if your can't provide evidence it's proof that you are full of bull." No, it just means that I or Bloodebone87 don't have access to the kind of "proof" you are demanding. The way we reply is at our discretion, as is if we use information based on our personal experiences or not.

5. "It's not a deflection it's a response." -Sure...

6. "Just because you say things without thinking about the consequences doesn't mean i have to give you a pass." What consequences? Who died and made you forum king? b:laugh

7. "And calling me a troll doesn't make me a troll, it just means you don't want to defend your statement. Too bad." -If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's probably a duck.

8. "A lot=/=90% to all the laymens that don't understand." Laymen does not have an 's' And as that is not specialized information to a particular field, then the use of the word "laymen" does not apply. Now who needs a dictionary?

If you were to go to the sin forums and start a thread on sin populations across various servers, would you get people's opinions based on what they have seen or would you get some form of "citation"? Though I bet on the former, perhaps someone will take the time to find you some type of citation. Perhaps give that a shot if you are genuinely curious and not merely trolling.

I'll always remember this AEU I was in in which I, as a wizard, and a psy kept people live with more reliability than the violet cleric and the damage mystic. And both argued the whole instance. Both were kicked at Aurogon as punishment from squad leader. Wizzy and psy had to avoid DDing though. Overall, was interesting.

As for those arguing about the "90% are sin" stuff: shut up already. You are being ridiculous over an irrelevant issue.

Sigh... Children. b:laugh Except Tory who is awesome always."fixed"

Mwahahahha

Regards to your example: that's awful. So you got a sucky cleric and sucky mystic all in one run! I haven't been in that situation often. Speaking of AEU: i remember this one squad where the cleric kept spamming metal skills on the elemental immune twin in AEU in violet dance while yelling at me (mystic) to heal everyone. It was soooo ridiculous. And she was r9r3....b:shocked

Sin stuff: Maybe he will create a thread in the sin forums, if he is genuinely curious, as suggested in my last response.

Please tell me this is a joke x.x A mystic who can't take over from a bad cleric.. how embarrasing... A mystic letting a wiz and psy outshine them in healing ... If i saw that on my server I'd take a serious talk with that mystic about knowing his/her class.

That is pitiful for sure. whoever was leading Zent's squad had a lot more patience than I have. I would have kicked both the cleric and the mystic much earlier.b:laugh Hopefully we can refer them to your guide next time it happens Aziza! b:victory
