Been playing TERA since FGT and messed around with KTERA and now have a 60 Mystic and 45 Slayer in NA TERA. I've played all classes to 30+ and a handful to 40+.

I can see Anthrax's point. Slayer is a good class for 1v1 but I'd put both Lancer and Warrior ahead and we don't see claims of those two needing nerfs.

I think it's the Slayer playstyle that irritates people and that influences their claims of the class being OP. A slayer can get a series of knockdowns and shut someone down and that sends people into a hissy.

Put slayer into a group battle and he becomes less effective, now you have numerous classes being in higher demand for group pvp over Slayer.

Point is, if we start demanding nerfs based on 1v1 performance you're going to run into massive group pvp imbalances and we don't want that, especially with BGs comin up. People just need to be patient and not rage when they got shut out in a 1v1. The glaring imbalances will become apparent, as of right now nerfing a class because they can shut someone down in a 1v1 from a series of lucky knockdowns is not worthy of all the nerf requests.

The one thing I do see quite often when healing on my 60 Mystic is dps running away from me rather than towards.

Some of your points are spot on like dps running to other side of boss instead of on my side. And often times its after ive tracked them down. I think its a knee jerk reaction to not be cramped up with other players but they dont realize they are making it harder to heal.

And of course the ever so infamous moving around like crazy when low instead of standing still for 1 sec for easy targeting.

All in all its not too bad, I still heal just fine, I just have to work harder sometimes.

I'm actually kind of surprised they didn't up the drop rate when westernizing. Er, maybe they did and Ktera is even worse I dunno. I mean, for every one person who is ok with this drop rate theirs gotta be a handful who are hating it. The common player is too casual to gear themselves out to any real satisfaction. At least those seeking T13.

Personally, I'm content with just chillin until Rifts and BGs but I think most players feel the need to grind out the gear thats currently in-game. I think its only burning people out and frustrating them.

I guess I'm just questioning if its good for maintaining a healthy population is all. If they made the current gear easier to get people would be able to get it and just focus on world PvP. Isn't that what people ultimately want? It's funny how players make a case for having the gear hard to get but at the same time complain that everyone is just dungeon running instead of going out and PvPing. More than anything MMO's teach me people truly just don't know what they want.

Anyone have a spare guest pass they willing to give up? Would love you long time.

Should put playtimes. :)

I'm looking for a group to farm some dungeons on my 60 mystic but I play 9pm-3am PST give or take so not sure if thats when you guys are on or not.

You guys got some lvl 60s that actively play late night 9pm-3am PST??

This is a joke right?

Instantly kicked from normal mode BT as a Mystic for reasons unknown. Didn't even start on mobs yet. I have all t12 60 gear..

I'm saved to instance now because group members are abusing the feature?? This is an issue, ok so I got kicked, whatever. But you are also going to save me to the instance.. gfg.

Or you could actually try both Mystic and Priest until you realize just how fair the trade offs are. I'd hate to continue to hear you whine in-game about how Mystic is so much better than your priest and annoy everyone.

You're OP makes it quite clear that you are either reaching or just haven't played one or both classes very far. You will of course say you have but those of us that actually have know that some of your facts are a bit off.

Is Priest "better" than Mystic, sometimes. Is Mystic better than Priest, sometimes. There's situations where I wish I was playing on my priest and then there's situations I wish I was on my Mystic. But in honest truth I often wish for being on my priest more because I know that I could of just survived a certain encounter if I was on him. If you think Mystic has an easier time healing a party IN GENERAL you are mistaken. And thats a big part of the game as of right now. If it weren't for auras most groups could care less which healer comes and in that case priest would always be the wisest choice.

Just keep an open mind and keep trying both until you can honestly say you like one better. Dont feel trapped into playing one over the other and be stuck in the mindset that you are playing the worser of the two.

It's funny watching people hate on others when nothing was provoked. He simply gave us some backstory to who he is and makes it clear he has plenty of time to play. Seems like a decent dude to me, I'd throw him a vote.

You guys more EST or PST would you say? Looking for a later night guild.
