What race makes for a better mystic? sorc? or archer?

Aman and Humans have really nice passives that reduce damage taken when they're below a certain amount of HP (but Human's only works in pvp). Overall the racials aren't truly gamebreaking because the active skills are on HOUR LONG cooldowns, lol.

I recommend making your choice based on aesthetics.

I went with Elin/Castanic/Human for my mystic/sorc/archer respectively.

As mentioned, picking a race due to its racials isn't really necessary. Definitely pick the race/class combo you like the look, armor style, and animations of. The Prologue is a good way to test drive that, as you can make a class of a particular race and go in and see the animations and level 20ish armor before you start on the island.

Have to agree with pootz here. Race for mystic is very minor. Elf probably has the best pve racials, the MP on demand CD, and mp heal on rez. (The hp on rez maybe more worth it, since the self healing is low on mystic).

I'd personally just pick what looks nice, or whatever I feel like at the time.

Pick Elin. Who cares why or how just do it.

I picked human female. My reason was purely aesthetic.

When casting Curse, which is instant, Mystics do an odd animation where they try to grab their weapon but don't really and it just looks off to me. After testing elin (which in general are my favourite race), castanic, high elf, human, and aman (all female) the human animation was the least annoying to me.

Why does it matter so much to me? Having played a Mystic on OBT I know you cast Curse A LOT when soloing. Since I'd be seeing it so much I wanted the least annoying version I could find.

Oh I should warn you. Mystics are knida... bad end game. You are in for a large challenge. I would avoid Mystics till they have fixed pets or DPS or something. As of now a potato could do more DPS than a Mystic. Priests have just enough to solo but... Mystics do not have ****,

I have never heard anyone say the class is bad at end-game. They aren't a pet or dps class, they are a healer. And they are very good ones, with a great crit buff that is very desired in many groups end-game.

Well I admit my healing isn't bad but my soloing is terrible from 50 ~ 60 (currently stuck at 56). My pets have been nothing but pointless. It's just extremely hard to solo unless you got a DPS with you at all times. My priest? Hah. I went through everything more easily than this. Priest really is the easy mode healer. It's hilariously OP compared to Mystic.
