When Will Priest Get Love?

I've gotten to the point that once I finish enchanting my SC to +7, I'm selling it and rerolling mystic. The difference between the two is so huge and I'm tired of being declined from "fast runs" just because I'm a priest. ;_; I really don't wanna reroll, but priest is never gonna get some love.

    only when priest will suffer at least 3 years like mystic, so wait 2020 to end the pain for your priest ;)

    or do this with your priest and priest friend :3

  • Fresh Awakened priest

  • I believe even with the awakening buffs that priests are still inferior to mystics.

    When I joined roughly three years ago, mystics were harder to play but they were by no means unwanted. This isn't to say that there was never a moment when people didn't want mystics, just that mystics have been accepted for a while now. Some of you guys are acting like mystics just exited the bad-times period, when the fact is as far back as three years ago if you could play your class well, people would gladly take you along. The reason the situation right now differs so much from the situation then is because even a great priest will pale in comparison to the amount of support even a sub-par mystic offers. You can't just be like "well I'm a good priest, so I'll be able to help my party just as much as a mystic." I'd be fine with things if priests were harder to play but offered the same results as a mystic, since the end goal for me is party support when I play a support class. Unfortunately that's not the case: mystics are easier to play and achieve better results. The only exception is if you get a mystic who literally just stands there and doesn't even use auras, but ... come on.

    So yeah OP, I feel you. My priest is ilvl446 and I regret gearing her that far. My mystic was in guardian and I ran her through rk9 getting every "don't get hit by X" achievement along the way because I simply never got hit by anything because I rarely needed to run near the boss. People would die to one-shots and wake up on their own with vow. I felt bored. I'd check my phone between CR/VoC. I'd run in circles 23m away and then cleanse someone from that distance. I'd switch to mystic but honestly ... it's just not fun as it is right now, for me at least.

    ...And really I'm tired of people playing mid/low tier classes complaining when they get a priest and not a mystic. Unless you're playing a valk or a warrior, you have no right to complain that somebody else isn't abandoning their main that they enjoy to be the flavor of the month for (your) utility purposes. In fact, I invite every active priest main -- all 3 of you -- to put the shoe on the other foot whenever someone tries to guilt you into playing a boring flavor of the month healer. If a brawler complains that you're not an aurabot mystic, bemoan the fact that they aren't a lancer or a warriortank if party utility is so important for them. If a gunner complains about having to use a carving crystal because you dared to show up, fire back that you're disappointed they aren't a valkyrie if personal dps is such an important matter for them. It's stupid that healers get this much flack and toxicity hurled at them for not picking the FotM class, from players who are "guilty" of the same exact thing.

    idk fam, these idiotic developers can't balance at all. Just do what you enjoy I guess, and get friends who don't care about that sort of thing. "get friends" is easier said than done with so many people quitting the game, but it's all you can do I guess. I'd offer to play with you, but a bunch of factors have made me way less active than I used to be.
  • hey ya'll, i plan on healing some when the console version comes out and this isn't the first time i've seen Mystics are heavily the meta over priests mentioned on these forums.
    One question though- what about pvp?
    From what i can find it seems Priests are what people heal with for 3v3 teams... or is that incorrect?
    thanks.

    Correct. Priests outshine mystics in that area.

    Outshine is not even half of the reallity in PvP.

    In PvP raids you will have only Priests and maybe if you felt compasion for you mystic friend then you will let him/her join.

    If you're talking about mass pvp raids, you still want both healers. You may want a few more priests than mystics per raid depending on what you're doing, but not "oh I felt bad for this mystic let's have just one join raid." They have different buffs and different utilities.

    They aren’t bad but it’s a fact priest generally outshine mystics in PvP. That’s why the meta is priest x lancer x w/e
