Erudites make great mystics. My main is one.

I did a lot of thinking about this before I rolled mine. I think some believe Wood Elf because they have a high starting wisdom without taking TOO big a hit on their physical stats and many people who play mystics like to get into melee and mix it up, even if it is only timing aa's between casts. I also like the racial that improves power regen. In a less than ideal instance group this a goblin totem and your mana stone can mean shorter down time after had fights. Not as good as the constant of an Erudite but good enough.

I looked at it this way

Pure healer no melee mystics (why don't I roll a defiler then? ) Erudite.

"Battle Shaman" (why didn't you roll a berserker? Oh wait I already have one at 80 ) Barbarian

Hybrid, wants to heal well and mix it up on occassion (can't you make up your mind? Nope) Wood elf

As you said though in the end it really doesn't matter. With the shard armor and/or the Crimson Robe even non-raiders can get pretty nicely reduced cast times, and the same itemization can make up for stat defficiencies. Ultimately it comes down to the "flavor" of the race. Heck if you aren't into lore and don't care what your toon looks like, put on a blind fold and click. <shrug>

Yeah my Mystic is Human is fairly bland and has nothing going for it (selected it when race didn't matter, stupid SOE shoudl offer race changes when they changed it) ... Would change to Erudite given the chance.

If'n you have a Cloak of the Seafury...

Bolster+Cloak ot Seafury+Marr Cloak+Racial = +164% size increase!

Who doesn't want to piss off the scouts by blocking thier los?

I made my toon (Barbarian) well before race made any differance and with all said items above (minus the Marr cloak, racial and bolster) I stand eye to eye with our main tank in thier shit monster form (Form of the Rook). When I wear my Marr cloak and pop bolster on myself I tower over him... When in VP I like to pop my warg too and listen to the scouts scream! Makes my day

Cloak of the Seafury? Is that a LoN thing? I wanna get that now.

I have the harvester cloak buff (drops in combat, sadly), Pumpkin head helm buff and Bonecrushers proc to piss people.

Yes, it's an LoN card from the Inquisitor set.

I'm still tryin to get my hands on the PPH helm

I have the Cloak of the Harvester, as you mentioned disperses in combat, and even sadder... it does not stack with MOST of the other size increases I mentioned prior. I know for sure the LoN cloak overrides it.. /sigh.. I was so lookin forward to runnin around with a maintained +80% size increase too...

The funny part is I was all about being "small." Even acquired the LoN Legend of Norrath Cloak (-50% size) but then they implemented the min size of 1 meter and ruined it for me... they have not (to my knowledge) implemented a max size cap though.. so I'm all about seein how big I can get

KFizzle

Whoa no one asked about that!
