eww...5 stars should be the hardest....

Ah right. So you're saying Assassin will be very hard to play while Psychic will be mediocre?

I think 5 stars = easiest to control / play (easiest to play with no skill) 1 star = Hardest to control/ play (Hardest to play requires skill)

I think 5 star would take the most skill, while 1 star is facerollyourkeyboard.

i think so too since it says controlling;
controlling： ...............★★★

If
★=poor
★★=decent
★★★=good
★★★★=very good
★★★★★= excellent

then the meaning pretty much matches what the stars are intended for
Phychic
PvP ability： ..............★★★★★excellent
Squad fight ability： ....★★★★★excellent
Grinding ability： .........★★★★very good
instants requirement： .★★★★★excellent
controlling： ...............★★★ moderate

assasin
PvP ability： ..............★★★★★excellent
Squad fight ability： ....★★★★very good
Grinding ability： .........★★★moderate
instants requirement： .★★★★very good
controlling： ...............★★★★★excellent

-How good is the pvp ability?
-How good does it fight squaded?
-How good is their grinding ability/
-How needed are they in instances?
-How easy are they to control?

I think its a bit weird that the assasin tops the phychic, since the phychic seems more less hp and def, with multiple spells they need to juggle around for every hit, and in a way seems closer to the mage in aspect.

but, on a side note,

i think alot of other classes would be pissed to see this ★fact sheet lol b:chuckle

Well if playing assasin is like playing mage....

lvl 1-70- you suck
lvl 71-79 - somewhat better
lvl 80-88 decent
lvl 89-98 you are equal to other classes
lvl 99+ you ****

So im guessing a lot of people are going to quit assasin because you wont reach your full potential until endgame.....then again it has 5 stars in pvp ability so....

EDIT:
@redsrose
lol ya a lot of other classes might be pissed. How does a psychic seems like a wiz? It has a LOT of defensive capabilities unlike a mage who has a rock shield b:laugh

I can already see what everyone who plays the class will do.

1: Hide in a safe spot
2: Turn invisible
3: Run out and kill someone
4: Run back into safe spot.
5: Repeat steps 1-4 fighting like the coward you know you are.

it will be hard to tell till at least 6months pass and the REAL players actually lvl the classes up. In the first 1-2 months youll see oracle noobs that will just be spamming the strongest attacks without much thought and much originality on the stats and gears.

Ya, im looking forward to playing psychic. Im not going to use oracles, but im going to try and level really fast by constantly grinding. I hope they release them near christmas break b:surrenderb:chuckle

Can you answer my edit question from above?

well from one similarity on the defensive side, looking at the first post we can assume:
"(use magical orb, different orb has different effect when using skills, assists atk during the battle. key word: repression)"

and also from the screeny, that it uses most likely an arcane or LA, with magic being key skills. We can imagine this being one of the squishy classes, altho it may have alot of defensive skills, it will not be able to use them all at once. (like how wizzy have more than 1 buff but are limited usage) Most of the skills seem to be assisting others, how a cleric would do.

Now for the offensive skills side.
Even tho most skills are for assisting, it doesnt actually tell us HOW strong each attack is and how they are measured. From the 5 stars on pvp and squad fight ability, we can assume there is something more they have than just being 'assist slaves'. Assisting classes usually dont get this much credit.

which would be a more noob-friendly character--assassin or the psychic one?

my guess is the assassin.
it might need more skills to use it to the FULLEST, but like the BM, barb, and archer, im gonna guess that it can keep a physical auto attack on once you engage. Something you cannot keep on with a mage class character because each of their attacks need a button and even macros can be interrupted.

good point, but after looking at the rating list, im starting to think of the assassin as a close range mage.

Psychic is now really confusing me. See i thought like you did. I was going to make my psychic pure magic and go all out attack but now, im not so sure if i should do a cleric vit build or something. It somewhat seems like a cleric. It has good offensive skills that can hurt but also is the "assist slave"

i dont know about that Decep. from the looks of it it seems that the assassin is a melee class using light armor. that can open up a whole new world of hurt if you are not using skills right. an archer has light armor on but an archer don't get hit often, and even an archer played wrong (cough using DoTs) can be painful in mob fights if he receive hits regularly...bms and barbs both have heavy armor and still they have physical defense boosts.

but as LA you wont do much damage like a pure can. Psychic has 20 meter aoes. I think i would want to be pure mag to take advantage of that :P

Mmm see but realize this... If you go more of a "vit" build similar to a cleric, typically you would sacrifice 3 points to vit every 2 levels.. An LA build only requires 4 points every 2 levels, gives you much better survivability, and a much higher crit rate. My damage will easily over power anyone who uses a vit build and it will only be a little bit smaller (on average because of crit) than a pure build.

Like an LA wiz but with that amount of aoes and of that size, i think constant damage would be much better, not to mention you can get a decent amount of crit as pure.

But...if i go LA on my psychic....i can transfer 12% critb:dirty

+1 =D

I am very much so looking forward to the release and tbh im thinkin Phychic.. coming from a pure magic Wiz...

Build Wise idk yet.. u hav alot to consider..
Pure Magic.. Sick Damage xP
LA.. Same difference as LA Wiz and Pure Wiz..
HYBRID is the 1 that is intreging me tho.. because the 1 thing you have all forgot to consider is how much Hp u get per Vit..
Mage and Cleric get 10 Hp per Vit.. for all we know a phychic get 15 + hp per vit...

So im undecided on build of corse but pritty sure ima b a phychic..

And to EVERYONE who is claiming that the new classes are overpowered and such.. Remember.. This information is NOT 100% reliable.. things can change still...

And To the Ppl who thinks BM is out of game.. remember a Assassin wears Light armor.. Imo an assassin resembles alot of an archer but with a few other things throw in there.. by the looks of skills the assassin cant take a beating.. i mean it has skills to dodge damage and dodge status effects.. obiously there meant to b used..
