Seer
The most role-divided class of the six. The Catalyst stance carries the Support playstyle with healing and shielding built on Psionic Energy and enhanced orbs; the Mace stance is a chase-and-disengage tool the developers called slightly overturned. Both come with a learning curve they named explicitly.
Two stances, two roles
The Seer is the only class where picking a stance changes what you do for the team rather than just how you deal damage.
Catalyst is the support stance, referred to in the notes as the Reverent Seer. It runs on Psionic Energy, which you spend to charge up and release enhanced orbs — and the synergy between its crowd control and damage is described as incredibly threatening once you can land them. The Support build provides healing and shielding, plus crowd control and buffs.
Mace is the Blasphemer Seer: mobility, chasing and disengaging, built around Shapeshift.
What changed at launch
For Catalyst, the developers said raw damage output leans on the weaker side — but declined to buff it, because a proficient Seer’s kiting already produces strong combat performance. Instead they addressed reliability: the channeling time of both Healing Rune and Punishment Rune was reduced, and the Support core talent Ebb and Flow now fires enhanced orbs with a larger damage hitbox, “improving accuracy to ensure a more reliable healing output.”
For Mace, the verdict was the opposite. Its data leaned slightly overturned: exceptional disengage, kiting and chasing that were overly dominant in combat, especially in the open terrain of Hallowgrove. The developers preserved short-range chasing and kiting while toning down long-distance escape, reducing Shapeshift’s duration and its speed boost.
Who should pick it
If you are queuing solo, the weak raw damage and the acknowledged learning curve make this a hard first class. In a regular three-player squad, being the only documented source of healing and shielding is worth more than any tier placement — but the Support playstyle rewards aim, because the healing is carried by orbs you have to land.

Is the Seer the healer in Mistfall Hunter?
The Catalyst stance carries the Support playstyle, which provides healing and shielding through skills such as Healing Rune. It is the only stance documented in the official balance notes with team healing.
Catalyst or Mace for the Seer?
They are close to different classes. Catalyst is the support and kiting stance built on Psionic Energy and enhanced orbs. Mace is the mobility stance built on Shapeshift, with exceptional chase and disengage — and it is the one the developers called slightly overturned.
Is the Seer hard to play?
Yes. The developers named a steep learning curve for the Seer and the Sorcerer specifically, and noted that the Support playstyle's healing efficiency depends heavily on landing enhanced orbs.
