Thanks for a video. Enjoyed it very much.
Who cares about how good or bad class in PvP or PvE when you have amazing dragon on your side. And ofc best visual ultimate!

Former mystic main here.
You're definitely outclassed by Striker in almost every way, mobility, damage, grinding, tankiness. Only one glaring difference is you have a few more downsmash/cc and slows which is a "bit" better in PvP (If you hit someone with a slow you most likely won't die if they knock you down).
But there are now Block classes that apply slows..
BUT! out of all of that.. there's nothing wrong with living at low end forever and tagging a better class later down the road. Most of my Mystic friends are Shai tagged for group grinding or they have rerolled to Striker/Zerk.

I approve! However you might have to mention in future videos or such the barrier of entry, which is important. Mystic is a great example of "not working" at 700gs and being arguably "working too much" at 735+ etc. <3

As a heavily experienced mystic main im genuinely surprised at how much of this you factually got right job well done!

With that said only a few notes are kinda misleading in this video
Sorry this is gonna be a long one :P

when you said succ mystic does more damage hence she is a better duelist thats not entirely true simply because of the way her dmg works you need full shards for her to do any kind of real dmg in succ and as u said urself she lacks the utility to properly catch players but with how the other classes have been changed since reboot there is barely ever any time u will have full shards on succ mystic in a 1v1 duel since theres no target for u to regen shards from and her 4 rotating shard spender skills drain them in a split second in pvp people are very mobile nowadays and or very iframe reliant all while succ mystic is a very stationary class while charging shards this alone makes her better in 1vX situations where she has the option to charge shards on multiple targets and unleash dps which is pretty much the only thing that matters in 1vX with how the meta is currently ;
on the other hand while its true awakening is by far the kit with more options and utility for that exact reason awake is the better duelist class because of the sheer pressure she can put on 1 opponent and combo them to death as long as they are within the same ish gearscore brackets but since its considered a combo class and lacks the dmg to do any kinda of dps in 1vX all she can do is just be a tank for her team not much more so

TLDR succ = better 1vX awake = better 1v1

lastly as for skill floor both classes id say are pretty equal as thats where the meme term "ook" and "mystake" comes from its a very easy class to pick up and abuse simple mechanics like thunderpound spam in succ or spiral/vac spam in awake
but skill ceiling for succ is near infinite simply because of her very high apm once mastered all of her hidden techniques (which is very uncommon knowledge to a point ive developed some of them myself) and literal bare bone kit theres pretty much not a day u play succ and wont be forced to learn something new to fight against or hard counter another class and in general improve ur game sense and knowledge everything thats thrown at u u have to adapt and deal with u cannot ignore certain skills thats commonly ignored by majority like slows or FG spams these are issues awakening mystic very rarely has to deal with and if u have mastered succession mystic u have already mastered awakening because all awakening does is add to her utility options not much player skill required and all the skill gap and mastering comes from pre kit with the apm the cancels the movement the precision catches etc.

overall a very mid tier class for the current meta she is very outdated and has been untouched for the longest time since reboot compared to any other class but can be "an unstoppable force in the right hands" it just takes a lot more effort compared to majority of other classes for no valid reason other than PA being incompetent.

Mfw I'm not contacted for mystic opinion. ;o;

Jk lol. Good video still, we really need some mobility tuning for group fights

[NormalMonkey]

I do agree with everything except skill Ceiling. The class is beginner friendly for sure, but there's alot of incorrect info out there. TLDR, it was way harder to master my mystic, than it was for me to master my sorceress. I have year's of experience on both class. People that complain they got killed by a Mystic that "smashed his head on the keyboard" will never understand. And it's okay, they don't need to know we killed them with every single skill we have to throw at someone, twice. They would feel like trash XD

But, please try again in a moment and don't forget to please try again in a moment.
I would also have said please try again in a moment.

[siriuskatsumoto]

After seeing this, I have to try this as a tank!

Awesome job you just missed the big "play succession" banner I'm the awakening part jk love you

[mrjamble]

In endgame most ppl pick awak over succession (reasons) 1# higher pve survivability to push the highest ap zones 2# in pvp they use main skills to make ppl float grounded or in general unable to move so they can use big skills from awak to instant delete the opponent also the aoes from the awak makes her viable in large scale pvp and by using succ instead of awak u lose out on also alot of speed

[AWildRori]

Skill Vs Skill with awakening against succ, Succession is easier. should be a 1 star, its that easy. awakening should be a 3-4 star.
