I thought I'd just mention that your use of leetspeak has just damaged any credibility you might have hoped to gain from joining and hoping to revive the Mystics.

Of course, this is just opinion.  Who knows what others think?

-vomits-
I've hated the mystics since Svar left them. Slobbering, biting... wait... thats the Rangers/Brigands.... I mean.... bickering, infighting.... wait thats the Svar's family .... wait... I've got it.... its a... a... BAD GUILD END OF STORY


Now in reality -laugh- Its actually got some potential but no one really to lead it...yet. maybe in the future it'll step back up and become a major player in the Seer profession.

If we're talking best seer guild currently I'd have to say its the Seers themselves as they are the only Seer guild with a really active Guild members (thank you Adaryn for keeping the stone-workers alive).

To be fair, the Seers have the best associated RP for the profession. Voodoo manipulation, secretive spying and covenants with the forces of fate just seem to fit a bit better in an evil city. Their population has, in my memory, overall always been the largest and most dedicated.

I completely agree with Narissa. I’ve looked at all the seer skills listed on the guildhouse website, and the abilities just sound nasty, even gruesome. From a roleplaying standpoint, as with the sorcerer profession, it just lends itself to an evil, at best, dark, interpretation. That isn’t to say such an ideal can’t fit in within the city of light, or elsewhere, but it’d take some very involved reasoning and imagination to play it up to the fullest. I think everyone would agree there have been some quite dark hearted good people in Avalon’s history. Of course, true skill comes along when one can somehow think of a way to be a good, huggy, honorable person, yet also be a savage fighter and have abilities that involve severed heads and manipulating puppets and drawing power from the stars.

The answer usually involves RP getting a backseat to PK/mechanics/etc.

I can only remember one really decent fighter that was a Mystic in recent days, and by recent I mean the past 130 years, and she left-and turned to darkness as she grew (<3 Esprii!)
 
In my youth, other than her, the only other seer types that were even formidable were Cordon and Matthew - both Astrologers at the time. I can't remember any active Thakrian seers from then, but that could be that I'm just totally blanking out.
 
The Seers guild seems to have always been the most active of the four- but I can't help but wonder if that's not a function of the name of the guild, versus the the guild itself, like how the Mages guild gets so many n00bs cause they want to be a mage type.

Thanks for the support of the seers.

I think this poll is incredibly stupid, though. Any of the guilds could be a force to be reckoned with, it's just that no one gives a damn. Due to Thakria's push for excellence, most people stepping into any guild in the city are immediately struck with a feeling of extreme loyalty and duty, and this, coupled with our strong history, is why the Seers stay strong. Other cities don't push their citizens for greatness, and so no one bothers, or they come to Thakria.  :P

That's my take on it, anyway. Here's to my guild- the last true stronghold of the seer profession.

"If you want peace... I'll grant it as you've wished..."
"There is no fear... come close..."

What happened there then? Did they strip it from everyone?
