The combat system is this games saving grace. The ONLY thing this game has is a unique combat system. Keep at your archer, don't judge by the amount of stars a class has, it just takes a bit of getting used to.
Again Eme? Good Job. *sigh*
it is ok while lvling if you are running in a duo/trio, but the more ppl in your group the less the mana return as it divides the sum up between all party members, same with damage on mobs. It does not scale well and the mana return in an end game instance just isn't worth the risk when you can cast a ball for a more focused return. At end game the most mana regen anyone needs rly is our mana aura, infusion charm and motes *shrug* ..i haven't touched Corruption Ring since I stopped lvling.
Enmasse has no say in the development.
LvLing as a Mystic is Hell, you are right. Not suggested to be alone at all from 50-60. That's just the way of the world.
Once you are 60 the gear hunt begins. Get your Item lvl up as far as you can running nexuses, it may take some time, but it is worth it.
Remember that your balls Cure, tell your group, "if i miss a cure on you, pls eat a ball", and make sure they are plentiful.
Run SJG and ToT until your eyes bleed as there are some glyphs there that are beyond necessary and make the class feel a *little* more balanced. Like the Restorative Arun's Vitae which turns your ball cast into a 30% self heal (vital) (from SJG Glyph vendor). Also a Glyph called Grounded Thrall of Protection, this gives your group a %10 buff to endurance for 10 min when you cast thrall of prot (you can cast another thrall to get rid of prot after you get the buff). (From ToT glyph vendor)
I can't tell you it will be easier in the end to heal a fail group because I still pull my hair out with pugs, telling them to eat my balls to help with cures (people don't seem to understand the the mystic and priest cures act differently) But it is definitely more fun playing my mystic than it is playing my priest. *shrug* That's just me though.
I have both Priest and Mystic at lvl 60 with 156 ilvl on my priest and 158 on my mystic. I prefer the mystic.
As far as the dps disparity between the classes, im not sure if it will ever get fixed, and we have been screaming about the uselessness of the thralls since this game was released. Korean players dont care *shrug*

Player base still sucks for the most part, a bunch of teenage or 20 somethings trying to sex each other up...it's sad really.
Thats ok, you will save yourself a lot of annoyances if you just deleted the game client and played ...ANYTHING other than this piece of garbage.
I can tell, Eme, that you are enjoying the new influx of income and members enjoying Tera. By all the updates the launcher and forums have had. However You should probably reevaluate your GAME UPDATES and start bringing in more NEW GAME CONTENT, otherwise all these new people and new money you are enjoying so very much will start leaving and EME will finally burn this game out.

How about you not thinking it is right for a fully geared Mystic be required to lvl and gear a priest in order to learn a zone otherwise i get no chance at ever doing it.
Priests aren't the only ones who have to take it in the [filtered] for this stupid STUPID class imbalance.
If I can make a priest to learn the zone to even have a chance of taking my mystic in there then you can lvl a [filtered] mystic to take in there after your main learns the zone.
Either that or they need to make my GD heals and personal dps match the priests. THEN we can talk about having the priests buffs (support abilities) match that of THE SUPPORT class in this game.
DeaHamlet on 04/02/2013, 07:37 AMLieva on 04/02/2013, 06:53 AMI see a lot of people acting as though nobody would bring a priest to anything anymore. I also remember the time when Mystics were perceived to be incapable of healing a group. But in reality, both can get the job done. I would be surprised if the difference between healing MCHM as a priest vs a mystic is as great a difficulty gap as KNHM in the appropriate gear.
When MCHM first came out, I remember nobody even considering a Mystic because everyone used the KN stun proc and healed through it. A feat that a Mystic could not do.
Of course people will prefer a Mystic when your team has a million clears and knows the fight blindfolded. When the team is getting hit, priests are better. But once everybody knows how to avoid every mechanic there is, you bring a mystic.
For PvP, I agree there needs to be better class balance. But for PvE, as long as every class is capable of completing content in any group make up, everything is fine.
I agree with this. My static is still learning (when we don't bring new people in to learn it, we want to create more than one static!)... and so they'd have been dead MANY MANY MANY times over. Now we get clears with no deaths, but even when we bring one person in... I pull the team through the new person's mistakes. We could just have me or tank take debuffs but that wouldn't teach them squat, so instead I make sure we recover from failed debuffs and such.
Once we clear HM with no issues, I think I'm going to either swap to a DPS class and have someone else roll in with their mystic or have my mystic at 60 and geared by then to swap to.
We brought a mystic in once... poor soul, everyone was STILL learning at that time... it was a fast and furious wipe. I feel tempted to bring in a mystic once in a while so the team finally learns to avoid everything :P.
And you think it is right for priests to not be desired once the party learned the instance?
As in, priests would only be a way for the party to learn, and then be left aside?
This isn't right... it shouldn't be like this.
You shouldn't have to switch for mystic once the party got used to the movesets of the bosses.... Priests should be appealing for farming continuously with a static party without feeling like it's holding the party back.

What surprises me is that OP thinks it is new news that Eme sucks balls with PR, Content, maintenance etc..
I mean, did you SEE all the content we DIDN'T get for the Christmas event? ....We got eggs FFS whoopty f*cking Doo.
We all know this already, I'm waiting on Trion to bring me the game I really want.
Hint to Eme, take notes from Trion....
