So....this be a general all class discussion on ways to eat tideborns.
b:chuckle

well here be me wizard plan....since psychics have that revenge skill....instead of shooting off a single ulti in hopes of 1 shotting em (just in case their revenge move actually deflects it and since assassins have that 1/4 chance to resist attakcs for a minute)....undine/sutra combo should work

anyone know any ideas for barb/bm/archer/cleric/venomancer/psychic/assassin?

    Seeing as you're still a low level I wouldn't hold your point of view as absolute until you know you face an experienced Psychic with more skills available, and your own, of course.

    As far as the thread goes, I would use the usual tactic I use with wizards, but I don't know psychics well.. As far as Assassins go I would treat them like BM's..

    ^this.

    this are serious thread.
    me want serious answers.

    seems like archers might make a good anti assassin....the archer normal attack bug just might end up killing tideborns after their revive spell thingy ticks.

    I'll just list what I know from my 3 characters:

    Assassin (lvl 62) - Stealth, Chi skill, Teleport stun, splistream strike or w/e
    or - Stealth, chi skill, teleport, sleep attack, spark, finish with slipstream or w/e

    Veno (lvl 76 w/ Herc) - Send pet in, ironwood, bramblehood, lucky scarab *and hope for stun*, finish them off with w/e

    BM (lvl 75 Axe / fist)
    Axe - Cloud sprint to them, heaven's flame, finish with w/e skill
    Axe 2 - cloud sprint, drake bash, stun lock them to death
    Fist - cloud sprint, punch the, to death (seriously works)
    Fist 2 - cloud sprint, interupt skill, finish with w/e skill combo you choose

    I don't have much exp dueling with my BM, and don't remember the skill names to save my life. >.>

    The new classes are powerful, but they're also pretty squishy at the moment too. I'd definitely say that watching their skill animations and knowing what they are will help. With classes against a psychic, it's key to know what moves are the retaliation and etc. For instance the short pdmg immunity psychics have is very distinct, and Retaliation is very easily missable due to its short cast time. Debuffing yourself in battle would be disastrous.

    In fact, the highest channeling time a psychic has is Soulburn at 2.1 seconds. Even the ultis are a shorter cast time at 1.8 and 1 second.

    On my barb I have very little problems with either class.


    Assassins? They come out of stealth and start attacking me. I sit there laughing at their damage (physical damage on heavy armor? It's like an archer only without the metal skills) And then mighty swing, armor penetrate, onslaught, dead.

    Well, yes, that /could/ work. But Assassins have a teleport skill which dumps them right on top of their target. Given the Archers' attack is based on how much distance is between them and the target... that's a lot of attack power suddenly down the drain. Combo the teleport with stun or bleed > sleep and things could get ugly for an Archer real fast.

    There's a Genie skill called Impact that reduces armor defense plus does water damage. While I'm not saying that would be enough to negate your armor completely, or take you down quickly, I am saying it is a potent skill, especially on a Strength-based Genie (Impact gets extra boosts in attack and armor defense reduction based on how much Strength the Genie has).

    Also, Bleed > sleep and Bleed > stun > long-range attack are painful combos. Given how much HP a Barb tends to have, though, I doubt those alone could take you down. But if the 'Sin in question was fast enough to pull of those combos, and refresh them fast enough to keep their effects going for long periods of time, you could be dead before you could ever actually move. (Of note, my secondary char, an Assassin, is no where near a high enough level for me to do any kind of real PVPing, so I have no real idea if the above is even physically possible)

    /end my two cents.

    In a 1vs1 situation I just can't see an assassin dealing enough damage to take down a charmed barb.

    Also level 79 barbs get a skill to give them immunity to sleep/stun/freeze for a while. Long enough to get in to kill the assassin.

    It's just the way that the fight is set up that gives the barb a huge advantage.

    Okay, so I want to throw in some of my opinions... Wasn't it thought for a long time, that fist BMs were the best to take down barbs? So, sins, being stronger than fist BMs it seems, should have an easier time at it, right? Not too sure, never got into a BM much, and havent lvled a sin... What I heard about sins though, is that they could probably rip through magic users very, very easily, but it seems that if the sin doesn't get the first hit, they will be killed easily. Psychics appear to have very fast casting spells, compared to mages and clerics, and decent damage too. I haven't been around many upper level psychics, but I think that they might be more like the "archer" of magic, with quick attacks that are fairly strong, but not the best, leading me to believe that if you get the first hit off of a psychic, they will drop easily. So basically, suming everything up, the TB classes have unique abilities and posses alot of power, but are fairly easy to kill.

    Just some thoughts.

    No doubt it'll be a last ditch type skill where there's a 50% chance to kill you in one hit and a 50% chance to fail attempted last ditch resulting in the sin's tragic suicide.

    make the chances 60% to suicide and 30% to work with a 10% chance to fail completely and stun yourself and me would be SOOO for this.

    I have to disagree I'm level 70 psychic now so i hope my opinion counts.I just owned an archer lvl 85.had on me silence and stun curses.When the duel timer was at 1 i cast psychic will while the archer was chan some skill(the red one deadly shot i think it's the name).Totally resisted it he got silenced and stunned for 2 secs from my curses time enough for me to cast earth vector then landslide,spirit blast and aqua impact and there you go a 4k unbuffed lvl 85 archer dead.

    For bms is alsmost the same have this time silence and retaliation to block his stun lock.Then go psychic will since he does phy dmg too and cast soulburn.His attacks get's resisted while he takes back 1-2k dmg for his every hit depending on your lvl vs his equip and lvl.then use usually landslide to finish him.This combo kills around 7k hp so you can do a lvl 80 bm pretty easy.

    Mind you all this must be done fast and had at the right time so spend less time at killing oracle mobs and more at learning.
    Well since Hamsta asked for ways to kill me i have to say i have venos,well to be honest the pets.Even if they have a stupid golem they still take 2-3 hits to die and if they get to hit you they do serious dmg.

    i knew that silence wasnt useless. I read some guide some guy wrote on the psyci forum saying the skill is useless and should never be used. But i'v been using it, and when it does work.. its friggin awesome

    me can see you didn't bother to read...
    me said that ARCHERS might make a good anti ASSASSIN since they has the glitch that makes them shoot stuff after they die....which would counter the revive thing that assassins have...
    you just went off and started talking about ARCHERS and PSYCHICS.

    good indirect suggestion though that our control skills could fail on psychics.

    I dueled this level 70 psychic once, he had uber gear and all his level 79 skills. He tried to cast this level 89 skill on me but I shrugged it off. When I sent my nix in to finish it, he used his level 100 skill to kill me. Good thing I turned into a fox and cast my level 150 skill on him in time to win the duel against this level 200 psychic.. Ahh the memories ;o)
