Which class... again xD

I know I made a post with the same title and a similar intent not to long ago but since its a little different and I don't want to necr.o the old one I decided to just make a new one.

If you didn't see my old thread the basic thing is... I got a second computer and I'm gonna play 2 chars at the same time and which class should I choose to play along side my veno.
Here's a link to the old thread.

Ok so first of all I cut out archers. Just didn't like 'em much. I'd go into detail but I don't really think its needed.

I like wizards, heavy damage potential and good end-game play.

I also liked the psychic, haven't played it much and I think the wizard out damages it but with the attack increase buff it might eventually hit harder than the wizard.

Further more I also am now considering the assassin as an option. Though it pulls less than psychics and wizards per hit, it has amazing DoT. I know I said I didn't want a melee/close-range class but my opinion might be changing. I talked to my friend (irl and ig) wolverrine over the phone today (cuz I'm in Hawaii atm), and he is rolling an assassin alt, he said that they rock and they were a lot of fun to play, and had great DoT, but he also said "I think you'd [teh_fishey/me] not like the assassin because you [teh_fishey/me] prefer the ranged DD type."

Anyways give me your opinion. I'll put up a pole so you can vote, but don't be afraid to leave a comment. ^.^

Either Psychic, Archer, or Cleric to pair with your veno.

Ok Mr. Oracles.


Yeah didn't want to be healer because it is too stressful to be a healer and a DD at the same time, I prefer 2 DDs. But you're lvl 80 anyways... tell me... is the psychic good? Better or worse compared to wizard?

And just saying... not to be mean but....

Oh and one more thing...

I also want all your opinions on this.

Should I be a guy or a girl in-game? It would seem more fitting for my other char to be a female as well, but on the flip side if I make it a male I get easy chi, I don't need 2 mounts, and when traveling I only need to be on one computer.

Another question... I have the galactic beetle on my veno... is there a tideborn equivalent?

Feel free to vote in the pole I posted above relating to 'Which Class?' or leave a response to either of my questions in this post, or the which class post.


EDIT: Yeah I probably could've phrased that last part better. I re-read it and it was kinda confusing.

If it's just gonna be a tagalong, make a male for the chi. Tideborn equivalent of the beetle is Rainbow Cloud.

But yeah, if you cut out archer (only suggested for the sharpen), it's between cleric and psychic. Both have decent debuffs and damage. I didn't suggest cleric for the heals, but for the damage, debuffs, buffs and the res.

Psychic has nice debuffs, and does more damage than the cleric, and can control whether or not it's doing that damage on a macro (black/white voodoo). However, the debuffs have a long time between casts whereas the cleric can cast its debuffs every 8 seconds and they apply better to the veno's damage. Both classes have the benefit of various buffs, though the psychic can only cast the charm buff and one of 2 reflect buffs on you, and those are 90 sec and 180 sec duration.

Overall, I'd say cleric.
Secondary, Psychic
Third, Archer
4th BM/Wiz/Assassin (all equally)
7th Barb

Oh, and I'm a 100 cleric, 99 wizard, 98 archer, 97 bm, 91 archer, 85 barb, 80 Psychic, 67 Archer, 67 Veno... So I think I have an idea of the benefits of each.

Currently, my psychic is level 9 and it seems to be stronger than my wizard was at the level. My wizard was 3-4 shotting mobs back then while my psychic 2 shots them easily, unless they're increased magic defense. Oh, and this is using 9 MAG 1 STR build for both of them. For your purposes, I'm torn as to what to tell you. Psychic does seem to dish out more damage, but deals with water and earth spells only, while the wizard has the fire element as well. Something else to consider, I haven't heard anything about psychics having any AoE spells, but I can't say for sure. Psychics don't have any ults from what I can see, as well as no demon/sage skills. They may turn out to be ungodly at end game, or possibly not. It's a matter of taking a wizard that you know what to expect, or take a risk on leveling a psychic which may or may not be all that great. I wish I could be more helpful, but the information just isn't available at the moment.

Due to the votes and the fact that I don't want to be a cleric or an archer, I've decided to be a Psychic. Also I think I'll role a male just cuz it'll be easy chi.

Also I'd like to say why I don't want to be a cleric:
1) I don't want to heal.
2) I don't like to help people.
3) I think Psychic deals more damage.
4) Cleric's have ugly wings.
5) And there aren't enough 6x-8x clerics on DW. This goes along the lines of "I don't like to help people".

That probably came out a bit rough.

Psychic has 5 Aoes: 4 ranged, one off base, Earth Vector and Red Tide could be defined as ults, Tide hitting harder, and bleeding, but vector having a lower chi cost and stunning.

But you don't want to use those when assisting on a veno herc tanking anyhow.

Just set your auto-response to **** off, Leave me alone, or name your char something to that extent.
