Lately I've been burnt out on my Mystic, although I used to *love* her. I've had a lot of RL stress, so the last thing I want to do is log onto a toon responsible for keeping people alive during a raid. And I'm sick sick sick of cures (fuck you, SOE). I think wistfully of changing mains...

But my guild needs me as a mystic. I don't want to switch guilds because these guys have been great to me. Lately though, our membership is in constant flux and they can't find a (good) full-time mystic to give me a chance to play my dirge. As our membership fluxes so does our progression...sometimes we struggle with Switchmaster but we've also killed Myzak. I'm put in the OT group with some squishy tanks and variable second healers (love the inq's curestick, sick of slackass wardens) so I'm in a pure heal/support spec to try and minimize the "crap I let my group die now I feel like shit" syndrome.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I can come to love the class again? If I have to play her, I might as well like it, ya know? Thanks, and thanks for being such a great community, I've prowled on several class forums before and mystic is undoubtedly one of the best.

I reallly wish I knew what to say that would be good comfort...because I know how you feel about all these stupid cures....we are not healers anymore we "curers"
I believe many healers are now feelign that all these cures have gone over the top...and being a class that has a "cure-line" that could be so much more of use, the curing feels even more stupid....anyway...

...Perhaps take the role as MT shaman for abit so that you can get some fresh air and have other things to do. Being in the OT group can be extremely booring if you are there all the time. Im usually there.
good luck

I usually try to do something I haven't in a while...go do some HQ's, L&L, try decorating your house. A nice change from raiding helps me get back in sync!

Take a break from computer games for one week. No MMO's, no games, period. Try to minimize exposure to other media (TV/movies) as well.

Take some time to relax and try to control the RL stress. Get a massage. Go swim laps at the Y a few times.

Come back refreshed and ready to enjoy the game again. Your guild will be just fine without you for a week.

I'm in the same boat as you. RL stress is over the top. I love my mystic, but the game is just so damn boring to me.
