Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

You NEED immunities? Then the obvious answer is claire.
You don't run, but plan on run suicides? Go with claire again, she is a BEAST with suicides, whitout them she doesn't hit that hard, but her versatility can make you beat almost everything, long fights but that's ok, you can regen any time you want.
You don't need immunities, nor planing on go suicides? Then go with sorcerer, she can do a lot of damage, also that slow debuff is really a must have, crazy regen and if I'm correct energetic hits, which makes her an option for korg or similar.
You won't be disapointed with any of them, but its really wise that you choose, the one that's going to fit best with your roster/masteries/style of play/needs.
As for me, I'd go sorcerer!
Claire's kit revolves around Immunity and gaining power from it.
It's like saying doom without power steal on sp1 isnt as good, what do you expect?
Without suicides, she's definitely top 3 IMO, because she still accesses all her utility without it (except the free Claire charges she gets with suicides, and of course the pretty much doubled heal and almost doubled attack rating in general). Yet to find another champ similar to her, the utility is immense! She's probably the only champ that benefits against opponents where you actually have what would be a "disadvantage" to every other one. You've got free power gain! She's probably the mystic that needs MD the least (apart from magik), and it makes sense, because you can run suicides and put those points you would in MD, into something like despair (which she works amazingly for). She's one of those kind of champs that can go into a quick match fight, or a hidden node somewhere and beat 99% of the opponents you would get (quick match is extremely randomised, and the few champs that I would say are comparable to Claire in those type of scenarios are characters like quake, ghost, void, omega red, and a few others).
Not gonna lie, act 6 is quite a pain in like...all of the time, but Claire is one of those few champs that can actually make it fun! Again, the utility is immense! And people criticising her damage are being ridiculous, with or without suicides, her damage is great! Btw, you're not losing much by not running suicides, as her special 2 energy damage doesn't increase with attack modifiers (which I'm still not sure is supposed to be the case). In other words, don't feel left out because you're not running suicides with her, you're still getting the same damage on your special 2 energy damage in hellfire with or without it (which is where most of her burst damage comes from).
So I'm curious about where you would place Claire in a mystic list where suicides weren't a factor
