New PS4 Player

in TERA PC - Player Guides & Help
Hi there,

I'm a soon to be new tera player on PS4. I'm pretty used to MMO characteristics and metas... the general idea. I was wondering if tera has any weird nuances that I should know about? Also, I'll probably be playing healer; I've played priest in the open betas and enjoy it but I've read that the mystic is better. is this a preference thing? I haven't yet tried the mystic.

Thanks for any help!

    My advice after playing many different MMO's in the past is to just play what you enjoy! you will gain knowledge and skill as you progress through the game!

    There is no point in going for what other people say is better when you may start it and end up not liking it as much anyway!


    have fun! :)

    Mystic is preferred because of their combat buffs, they give crit which usually means dungeons go faster due to the party having more damage. There aren't really any nuances you need to be aware of. However, in some later dungeons there are mechanics that healers should be expected to perform, but if they can't, it's not the end of the world. It just makes the dungeons easier if the healer can do them so that DPS can focus on the boss.

    For the console release, the only dungeon you'd probably have issues with is Kelsaik's Nest as a mystic, but it's not terrible. Just harder than a priest would have it.

    Awesome! that sort of reaffirms what I had heard. I have some friends who want to go mystic so I think I will go priest anyway (I'm gonna be jealous of those thralls tho). Maybe I'll make a mystic later on if need be. Thanks again!
