Subjective Analysis
Mystics have a good weapon selection and decent HP making them a sturdier magic user. Their ability to equip pole weapons is very useful. Their abilities are so-so, inflicting status effects on the enemy but not able to inflict significant damage. They're most often one of those stepping-stone jobs, particularly if you want to try out advanced strategies with the Arithmetician or Orator.
The action abilities worth picking up here are Hesitation and Sleep. The others do have their uses but are not really worth the time to get them. Defense Boost is also quite nice for some of your weaker characters in job classes that don't allow for much tank setup.
