I have been doing research on classes and am intrigued by the Mystic. However, I have some concerns.

-Damage seems to be pretty low.
- Heals are not competitive with main healer (Paladin) *From what I hear.

So, what role does the Mystic play? Why take a mystic in a group? Their dps is far lower than a mage, their heals are inferior to a paladin, and they have cloth armor so are vulnerable. Do they have really good group buffs that offset these weaknesses? I have been trying to do some research but it is hard to find accurate stats on abilities. I have been mostly watching Youtube videos.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
