Hi,
i mained Mystic since its release years back and it was one of the most Hyped Classes that can rival Strikers.people loved the Awakening style and combat, one of the best in bdo in my opinion, back then ! yeah it was FOTM and META, but it was so much fun to play if you are skilled mystic(started youtube channel cuz of it). through the years the class got neglected and nerfed over and over specially when they released the succession( most hated update to mystic).
Devs started to make mystic all flashy with no purpose from the succession side ! like no dragons no splashes of waters except borrowed skills from awakening.....it's like they are trying to make it look like exactly like striker and lose the class identity ! it feels like the devs who they were working and dedicated to awakening mystics are gone! and i bet when you ask majority of Mystics players most of them will say the Awakening is why they loved the class.
i hate that when i need to pvp to defend my spot , i need to waste time to respec and change my addons/crystals/artifacts to succession....i loved the old times playing awakeing dragonic mystic. now it's high risk to play it in places like sycraia or aakman/hystera, actually it's stupid to play awakening in arsha and grind there. in old times thats the norm for mystics to be there and challenge anybody and have fun. now you have to be succession 90% of the time to survive any encounter.
devs wanted this class to be super tanky and super high dmg in succession side.....this need to be nerfed to be honest along with the striker ! both of these classes unfair to average player. also, when someone play awakening mystic (like many of my friends) they realize the love they have for the cool dragonic effects it's just for pve and they have to change it or reroll the class cuz succession is no fun in pvp/pve compare to awakening.
Solution : Boost the awakening (or make it like succession in dmg). nerf the Succession. also nerf the striker ( his AOE/dmg unmatched with the immunity power like impossible to trade without diying from the trades alone.)
and for the Devs that hate awakening mystic....talk to us !it has been years from nerf over nerf to lvl we cant do any dmg now ! it's like a punishment to our love for awakening.
Awaken Mystic is in a good place it sacrifices damage for defense, sustain, and CC.
If you dislike the playstyle just try another class.
I personally think they should not change awaken Mystic in anyway shape or form.

Wrong.
1- defense never was an issue. if you know the class you would know it's hard to catch and CC God.
2- slow animation and unsustainable against other classes like striker/zerker
3- never said i dislike the playstyle. you should try the class first at high end gear pvp/pve to know the changes made it worse. they should go back to what it was.
eh? you just cc them (and its VERY easy on awa mystic) and then shift q with 100%. nothing survives.
Are you sleeping, devs? Do you want to buff Awakening Mystic's damage and nerf the absurd damage of other classes? What have you inside your minds? Do you see that people gave up to play Mystic in the last years? Do you understand why?

and u wonder why it cant have giga burst damage?
if anything, suc mystic also needs nerfs and quite many others classes in bdo. but making awa mystic also deal super high damage is not the way to go.

I want more protection over damage tbh. Too many protection gaps. You can't even fully use her awakening kit.
She got recently an accuracy debuff. She was tanky as hell even before that. Now you ask for damage? May as well let mystics 1 shot enemies while being invincible and invisible at this point. Asking for more protections is fine since it's a melee class but asking for damage and more CCs is a bit too much when you are already an unkillable CC bot
A damage boost is not what Mystic Awakening needs. It needs the CCs on some skills to change, the debuffs on some skills to change, some protections shifted around or added, the healing to be more evenly distributed throughout the awakening kit instead of packed on Hurricane Sweep, numerous bug fixes that have been there for years, and some changes to make the usage of some skills more intuitive. The spec is treated as the defensive and debuffer spec, but it is lacking in a way that allows it to perform that role reasonably well without building full DP carpet. Even as a DP carpet, it is mostly annoying at best since the debuffing skills are unprotected except for the recently added accuracy debuff on Dragon's Rip. It is tankier than its own Succession spec for 5 to 10 seconds when using Infinite Fortitude every 25 to 20 seconds, but other than that they are appromixmately equal in tankiness. In my opinion, Succession still comes out ahead thanks to a better protection cycle, access to a fully protected heal on Prime Wave Orb, extra Silent Steps, and an easy to use low cooldown Forward Guard to spam(Prime Thunder Pound). With that said, Awakening's "defensive/debuffer" role isn't enough to choose it over Succession unless you just really like how Awakening plays, since Succession can apply its slow without worrying about being CC'd in addition to having very high damage, tankiness, an easy to use protected CC with a 3s cooldown that has optimal CCs, and slightly more mobility.
The liklihood of Pearl Abyss addressing any of that appears to be extremely low though.
