Mystic Ridiculously Outplays Priest

zanlik301 · October 2017

@Ferria Indeed priests lack power buffs but they are still better and more reliable in terms of self sustain
the reasons are
1. Far far far better and longer iframe than jaunt
2. better at emergencies with kaia's, divine respite, Guardian sanctuary. Mystics thrall of life has summoning time and takes a lot of time till it starts healing and that adds up in time so its only usefull in predictions, also corruption ring half damage glyph is almost useless in face of all the plethora fixed damage numbers at bosses
3. Priest still way safest choice for starters, pug environments and high maintenance groups because they cant die no matter what, they cant even be nuked
4.Priest in an experienced party can go through the whole rotation with mana management and still have time to scrach their bottoms, mystic's even today with titanic wrath removed their scratching time is removed by mote spawning. With priest in high maintenance parties I can easily do rotation plus mana management with mystic I have to sacrifice ether motes or coraption ring
But yeah priest rely on skill only and mystics have it easy
A year ago if u run FI with mystic and party was inexperienced or even a little high maintenance u were fked due to underwhelming heal of titanic favor and the bad lock on mechanic on the only reliable heal mystic had pre buff not to mention the unreliability of Boomerang in a dungeon that u need to move aside every 0,5 secs . Today there is no such problem in ether of the 2 healing classes so pls dont say mystics have it easy priests still have it easier in terms of survivability and thats comming from sm1 that mains both healing classes, the only reason i like mystic better is because it they were waya harder in the past. Today botha classes ar almost equall in terms of dificulty with priest being a little easier
But I will give u that mystics severely outclasses priests in terms of buffs
So yeah they need a buff in buffs :P but good news vow gets nerfed to the ground and titanic, cleanse distance is getting nerfed also priest's get a a cdr buff which will be good for classes that rely heavily in cdr

You're delusional if you think priest is the easier class of the two currently.

The auras should always make mystics better than priests for PvE, because dungeons involve simple pattern recognition and no one should take enough damage to require priests' superior healing output. IMO this balances well with the fact that mystics get dumpstered by priests in battlegrounds since the healing output and stagger matters more.

The problem with this is that bhs hates pvp and wants to see it dead, which is why they keep dumping on every aspect of it. It might be true that priests are superior in pvp, but it doesn't matter when there's barely a reason to pvp in this game anymore.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. All of mystic's buffs are automated and their debuff only needs to be applied every 20 seconds. The only thing I could see you having to do "in an experienced party" is care about mana, which takes barely any time at all.
