Icon12 Which is better Defiler or Mystic

I am in the process of creating a baby toon and was curious to see which was the best dps healing class in the game. From what I've seen it has come down to either Mystic or Defiler. It seems that both have both postive and negatives. I was hoping some of you Mystic warriors could help me out

Default Re: Which is better Defiler or Mystic

Well for me theres a world of difference between Mystics and Defiler...but to make it short we are more melee oriented since in our Mystic AA we could switch up to 4 spells into CA (witch save you the cost of buying those spells adp3/M1) This and the fact we mostly go 100% melee crit in Shaman, we are powerful soloer...(I solo my toon all the way to 80 without any problems or whatsoever)

For dps Ive never seen a Defiler parse past 4K dps but yeah some Mystic are crazy too (cough cough Cixia cough cough) ...For healing Shaman are not really so distant between eachother imo...

Hope this will help

mystic for the win. You will not regret it!

Coming from someone who has played both classes the mystic is infinitely customisable and adaptable when compared. We have the choice of all types of melee spell and heal gear/procs as we can do everything! :P

Depends If i was going to be a MT shaman on a raid and that is all i did I would go defiler. But a Mysitc as of all the other lil things as of dps and being flexiable is IMHO a better class overall then a defiler. And as of dps healers I have seen furys and INQ's that have just put out some sick sick numbers. Really I may be wrong on this but in genral isnt the highest parsing class usually the inq's of the healer classes?

Honestly, there isn't all that much difference between Defilers and Mystics even in a MT group. A few hundred HP of buffing perhaps. Both are super capable healers.

As for highest dps priest, i'd say its a run among inquisitor, mystic, and skilled furys.

Just betrayed my defiler to a mystic and WWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW what a difference. Mystics own defilers x100 unless you are a lvl 80 main-tank-group defiler. Otherwise, good god mystic is so much better.

Really there is a very small difference in mystics and defilers as was stated earlier. If you want to be in the Main Tank group go defiler, but if thats not your concern then go mystic. We are more combat orientated and also seem to be a rarer breed, you can parse high on dps if u really want to as a mystic as well. Ive played both a mystic and defiler and betrayed several times back and forth before settling on being a raid mystic, I have found it a blast and we are also more versatile than the defiler. Thats not saying a mystic cant be in the MT group in a raid, its very possible and ive seen it done flawlessly it just requires alot more effort.
