soul vengence + white voodoo + whatever other aoe skills phychics have.

reflected damage + 99% damage reduction

seems kinda possible to me

    Don't see why they can't
    o.O
    (they probably need a backup healer and....would the voodoos even be worth it?)
    either you kill really really fast and turn really squishy....or you turn really tough but can't deal out as much damage (which would mean the mobs get off more hits on you)

    hmm...
    probably would still work.

    i was trying this earlier. I was using the 39 skills and i did pretty good.

    glacial shards > sandburst blast > bubble of life > glacial shards

    and the mobs were dead.

    The few time I had vengence on, I was saying half damage dealing when I was hit at the same time that white voodoo was on myself.

    I dunno, I was thinking about this as well.

    If your solo'ing then maybe a black voodoo. The defense lost doesn't seem to save me right now (Although i'm only 29) What I mean is, with or without Voodoo, a mob that kills me in three hits, still usually kills me in three hits. Regardless of Black voodoo or not.

    With a tank friend, BM especially, you could essentially nuke them. Get the BM to grab a nice wad, then you chain AoE em. Probably starting with that Water AoE that slows just in case. If something happens. White and bring em to the BM.

    Considering we Kill in 2-3 hits though, we should be able to take em out easily.

    Also, i'm wondering if our souls gain aggro for the tank? A good BM that's reflecting damage could hold AoE Aggro much better than without? (Assuming they pot a bit more)

    I'd like to see more into this....

    I think its doable..i want to try it at higher levels. Being that Psy's have a few aoe skills and the increased def buff. Just gotta find a good cleric to heal while i test it outb:victory

    In practice, trying those AOE chains without a tank against monsters your own level would get you killed.
    That AOE skill that slows (aqua cannon) is pretty useless, I doubt youd ever use it in actual PVE.
    At level 1, Sandburst and Glacial have 8 second cooldowns, which means if you really plan to grind using those, you would have to kite everytime. And no, bubble of life wont save you while trying to chain since the casting and animation time isnt as fast as your offensive skills.
    Just sharing from experience. ^^

    It works, i did it yesterday. Bubble of life is just to fill in the cooldown time of glacial. I was doing this to the mobs outside of anglers village.

    just curious on how well this works since this is the only post giving numbers. I couldn't find aoe grinding worth it if it was below 8 mobs, usually want 10-15 mobs for a good grind, and not to mention the lower lvl, I usually won't do the mob anymore once it's gone green. so would someone be willing to give some numbers at what they were successful, also what mobs you grind on would be interesting too?

    was trying it with some sailors near alied camp - when i was in my mid 50s

    cant give any actual numbers -- all i can say is white is useless for aoe kiting
    get black up and do ur ranged aoes , with the sailors it was pretty hard

    ull have to kite em near perfectly to get some results worth mentioning here---
    but 12+ mobs - no way i can handle them atm

    6-10 - IF u got space AND are lucky with debuffs^^
