The words Solo and Mystic are contradictory terms. :smileytongue:

Here is the problem with the thought process of developing a Mystic with the heavy melee AAs. At the end of the line your dps still sucks, your soloing ability still sucks, you will still rarely solo anything beyond ^ups, and because of this you will still rarely solo. But additionally, now your other abilities also suck, because you neglected them for the dream of soloing as a mystic. I can count on one hand the number of times I have seriously solo'ed for exp with my mystic, and still have fingers to spare, the process is just down right painful.

Its simple to fix for the Devs though, MAKE STR mean something to the MYSTIC CLASS!!! Buffed, I sit around 580 Str close to my 600 Wis and it is utterly worthless, other than I can carry all bank boxes.

I have also wondered why the healing classes didn't get an offensive and defensive stance like fighters and scouts. So add to Strength meaning something an Offensive stance, where do considerable dps base on our strength, but our healing is comparable to a monk, and a Defensive stance, where our dps sucks, and our healing is normal.
