Bye bye Mystic

[Jak]

I have 12 toons in EQ2.  I have found that of all 12 the Mystic is the most useless.  This class is broken.  Its been broken since day one.  The revamp did not fix the class one bit.  My level 52 mystic is not fun to play and compared to my templer and fury she stinks as a healer and has the most trouble soloing.  I dont mean any disrespect to the rest of you playing this class, because I feel very bad for how you are treated by SOE.  You deserve better.  As for me, the mystic will be retired or at least put way back on the toon pile until SOE finally addresses the key problems with this class.  <div></div>

i feel for ya, about where ya comen from, in total agreement.  its just shaman line is a short an narrow one, only ment for the most diligent fan boys/girls.  pets huge an annoying debuffs, not on par with others solo'n well.. some class has to be last, but by this margin? laughable wards still vaporizen way before spell experation, even on green heroic mobs wtih all lines of tanks. oh ya an debuffed just means little more delay to see it happen. little to no progression in spells strength all this hoopla about concentration slots an working out diffrent tatics with em, (this goes for the whole game not just mystic) is silly, least with shamans not much challange in filling out the only useage for em. regen that any dps fanatic or people that like to have free movement with no impariments, loath to have casted on em. kinda havnt play'd many other class'...but someone tell me that every class has a NEEDED spell thats always casted, have these type of impariments!!! off the top of my head, dont recall any cept the movemnt rate decrease on invis/stealth god soe hates us...an ya fan boys/girls that glorify just the littelest change does not help the situation. there's always a mickey mouse club member for a failed game, even after the plug's been pulled. <div></div>

Mystics are the worse at everything because BALTO said so, thats why. We could disagree, but that just makes us fanboys. <div></div>

<P>Hmm, I don't consider myself a fanboy/girl (too much of an old codger :smileywink: ), but I personally enjoy my Mystic.</P> <P>That is not to say that it does not have its drawbacks, I dont imagine anyone who plays a Mystic as their main could saythe class is perfect but it does just come down to personal preference.</P> <P>I have other toons that I play fairly regularly, (bruiser/ranger/rogue) and enjoy them all for different reasons but my main will always be my Mystic.</P> <P>Getting to know your character allows you to know what kind of mobs you can solo, and what group situations you can deal with as main healer as opposed to main assist.  I have to say I was in a group last night with another Mystic close to my level and having 2 of us was pretty good for the group imo.  One of us warded and assist healed, while the other acted as main healer - we were able to keep our team alive and in the green health wise for most of our encounters without losing too much of our own power.  Quite a nice combination and one I would enjoy doing again.</P> <P>If someone does not enjoy playing their Mystic then then that is their choice and I respect that.  Why play something that is no longer fun to you?  Personally I will continue to enjoy mine with all the good and bad that comes with it.</P>

<P>Anyone who can't heal their group well as a mystic after the CU is doing something wrong.  I'm not sure how people can still say that their wards are being knocked off almost instantly anymore.  My wards seem to last for almost the whole time.  They rarely last for less than 15-20s unless fighting something many levels above our group. (ie orange to our tank)</P> <P> </P> <P>Not everyone likes all classes, but it doesn't mean that it's a broken class, or that the people that like/play that class are fanboys.  There have been a lot of ignorant statement in this post, and I hope that people don't start assuming that they are correct.</P>

<P>you playing a shammy because you like it not because its useless, each class have an adventage on other, when im soloing with my shammy, i never go under 80 % HP with yellow arrow under. at lvl 53 i can buff for 1000 hp and over 200 on principal stats for soloing. Any group love shammy and is buff, ward is awsome, torpor + aide of the oracle give an awsome heal at low MP cost.

mmm - interesting set of rants on wizzie v mystic - have a 57 wiz and 37 mystic - my judgement would be that i can solo my comparably-equipped wiz quicker (than just about anything other than a bruiser) given a free reign on location etc - but i would also view it as a rather arbritrary and irrelevent question <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> why play a healer if you want to solo!!!!!  By far and away the best xp-ing i have had though is with my mystic and any avoidance tank (including chain armour scouts and conj pets) - these combinations are unbeatable imho for chain pulling easier heroics all day.

>>>when im soloing with my shammy, i never go under 80 % HP with yellow arrow under.<<< When I am soloing with my 41 mystic, I know that if I ever hit half-health, it is time to run.   I don't really know how mystics do in a group as I don't group very much, but I've gotten to 41 by soloing and quite enjoy it. Pretty much the only times that I take damage are when I know I have the advantage in the battle and want to conserve power by not bothering with wards. <div></div>

i love my mystic class when im playing my alts i miss being him, I havent soloed that much with him so i dont know about that but when i do i seam to do it just fine. even my low level wizard can do more damage then my 34 mystic but i still have way more fun with him
