    The more skilled player. I have both classes (3-4 priests and 2-3 mystics) and while I do average on a mystic, I really know my stuff as priest.

    The preferred healer depends, if a party wants to take advantage of priest buffs and kaia's, then they want priest.
    if a party wants motes (for emergencies and such) and more dps (contagion + crit aura) they want mystic.
    In most cases however, people wont care which one you are because:
    1.) They just want to clear
    2.) Double heal runs are becoming a norm, so you have both anyway

    I play both classes but I main mystic \o/

    EDIT: I only just realized this is in the PVP section, so yea most people like priests more there, with kaia's, priest buffs, and that healing immersion.
    Of course mystic is better when it comes to CCing and peeling with sleeps (priest has this too), stun, fear, cooldown extension, and etc. but I feel people have an easier time keeping their party alive with a priest.

    You want a balance of the two, neither is better but if I had to choose between 5 mystics or 5 priests I would take the priests hands down. Kaias and Arise are mandatory for big fights in fwc. Mystics are great because they can give your team an advantage by hitting a big regressions and/or a well time Thrall of Wrath.

    It really depends on the Mystic.

    A good Mystic will toss out contagion, curse of Exhaustion, regression, poison (for debuff), stuns, sleeps, fears, etc., along with their heals. All of these things unfortunately often go unnoticed by your team, and can even cause the mystic's score to be lower, even though they were a massive force for victory.

    Simply healing and staying alive is the easy part. And that's why priests are often looked at as better, because quite frankly, they are significantly easier to play to their potential in PvP.

    I think both are still on demand PVE wise. My question to you is would you like 1 escape option or 2 options during PerVertPlay?!
  • SaphirKanzakiSaphirKanzaki ✭✭✭✭
    I guess the question behind is "what class should I level?". I'd advice to level both and even during the leveling process you can decide. Keep in mind that leveling a class is quite fast in Tera (even as healer you will only need some days/1 week), also that a mystic levels far easier with having a tank.

    For PvE and 3v3/small scale PvP, Mystic is better than Priest in every regard. More control, more mobility, more survivability, buffs that can't be dispelled, and motes in the event something happens to the Mystic.

    For FWC, Corsairs, and larger scale PvP, Priest is better since it offers a larger variety of support and slightly better healing. Priest is one of the most boring classes to play though, especially compared to a Mystic.

    Mystic.

    You can get Priest buff before go into PVE.

    Mystic is better in pvp.

    Mystic can solo alot faster than Priest

    Mystic's party clear dungeon faster than priest.

    Mystic doesn't have to shoot buff skill as llike pries't energy star.

    Mystic's debuff endurance is about 2x longer than priest.

    Mystic's lock on healing amount is greater than priest.

    - There are too many healers now. Sometimes, It harder to find party than dps.
    - Make a tank. We need more tank.

    This is the PvP section.

    In PvP, Mystic is not greater than priest. I think the advantages and disadvantages were already very well explained in this thread, so I won't bother to reiterate them.

    I vote not to play this game. my custom got hacked and they can't do anything about it.

    Kaia shield + divine respite, you can tank the horde.
    Healing Immersion & Healing Circle aoe heal is very effective.
    Divine Intervention can pull a member away from certain [filtered] up situation.

    Mystic has more locked on debuff and instant debuff which hindrance enemy's mobililty. However keeping your raid buddy alive is a more difficult task compare to priest. Do remember to set up your motes at crucial locations.

    Fact is, you need both in mass PvP.

    There is no preference because if you are missing a priest, you lose tons of secured heals and buffs, if you are missing a mystic, you are missing out on aura's damage potential as well as AoE buff removal.

    In 3s, Priest is usually preferred for most comps.

    But TL;DR it really depends on what you like more.
