Mystics as tanks?

in TERA PC - General Discussion
Okay so this need's to be said.

I started playing as a Mystic for the first time ever and while I love it...I've noticed something I'm not sure how I feel about. You see I've noticed when running dungeons that I am the one holding the Agro which is fine, however I am not sure what to think about the fact that more often than not I am the last man standing. I try to heal my team ( Usually ninjas) Who leap out of the way every time, while I've taken 1-2 hits and they are all dead around me. I usually have to kill the boss run and revive them , only to then get yelled at for not keeping them alive.

My question is since when are Mystics tanks? Why do people suddenly want the healers to tank absolutely everything?

    The problem is that there really isn't tutorial in game to show players the correct crystals/positioning to use (other than that welcome message every time you log in...), so most people just end up with 4 pounding and attacking from the front. A healer will pull aggro if they are chain healing their party if everyone is running that setup. When I ran a healer in IMS, I would just run dps crystals so that it would just go quicker. Usually ended up being mystic healer, tank and dps all in one. Basically running a child care center, soloing dungeons with 4 toddlers tagging along. All it takes it at least ONE other role to have the correct setup and you wont have aggro problems on a healer.

    Lots of new Ninjas that don't know how to properly DPS. Any tank or DPS class in proper crystal setup with an Avatar weapon should never be giving up aggro to the healer.

    unless the poor healer has to spam heal the people in an improper setup

    The bad part is....Two of them have been playing longer than I have. I'd toss the healing motes and they'd still run in circles and avoid them. *Face palms* I'm just glad I can survive.
