    I understand what ya are saying, tideborns sometimes to tend to be powerful, but remember that this goes for most characters. Clerics have awesome healing abbilities, wizards do alot of damage at higher levels, Blade Masters do pretty good damage, Barbs have alot of HP, Venomancers have a pet that can help them kill enemies, Archers are great at ranged attacks, and then there is what you said about psychics and assasins. The main thing here is that all classes have their own advantages, thats what makes the game fun.

    No, the thing is this

    Wizard spell damage without the wizard chanelling.
    Psychic chanelling is about as fast as an Archer stun shot, or venomancer scarab.except it does as much damage as a wizard sandstorm but without the 3+ second channel.

    Psssssst, I have a secret for you... You ready?

    A sin can still be hit in stealth! If it gets caught in an AOE, or if the attacker's spell is channeling when stealth starts. And, Psy uses arcane armor- meaning

    1. roll archer
    2. attack Psy
    3. ????
    4. profit.

    If Psy uses white voodoo, damage is drastically reduced; if it uses black voodoo, it becomes even squishier.
    Full power to the Vagiroscope!

    I suggest you compare the damage a Wizard and a Psychic can do. Psychics deal a lot less damage with their final spells.

    Maxed Red Tide (the most powerful Psychic's spell) = ~6k damage + x Soulforce over 9 seconds if bleeding triggers. Soulforce spells are greatly affected by level difference, so if the bleeding does trigger then the damage is probably close to Dragon Strike, yes.
    Maxed Earth Vector (second most powerful Psychic's spell) = 3k4 damage.

    Now...

    Maxed Black Ice Dragon Strike : ooooooh over 9k.
    Maxed Mountain Seize : ooooooh over 8k
    PLUS at least 100% more weapon damage involved.

    NO, Psychics aren't fastchanneling Wizards and they are nowhere near them damagewise. Regarding effects on the other hand... Sure, we have to wait for Demon/Sage skills, but I highly doubt anyone of our nukes will go past 10k and tickle the 13k base damage + %wep a Wizard can deal.

    Not to mention Psychics are a LOT more squishy than Wizards, we have nothing like Stone Barrier and eventhough White Voodoo pretty much halfens the damage we take, it also halfens the damage we deal. AND let's not forget that even with Black Voodoo, a Psychic could probably still not be able to match a Wizard's damage, and would be even more fragile.

    Rofl, so now we're going to play the game jumping 24/7 to avoid an assassin in PK mode? You're an idiot. Assassin is pumped up too much, once one hits 85, it is impossible to see no matter what level. AA/LA can't take more than a couple hits from assassin unless you're beefed with full citrines or garnets. So you want the entire PWI to convert to HA because of 1 type of avatar?

    Again, beyond making a special genie to counter them for 1 hit, what AoE does archer have to hit something invisible? If you get a genie with AoE, you're basically using a genie to fight your battle alone. Yeah.... thats gonna work great...


    Races should be equal in power when using regular gear and doing regular stuff. To beat an assassin/psy you have to build special genies to counter and buff your gear to withstand hits and jump around like an idiot to fight them.

    You know this works both ways right ? I couldn't handle a BM, or any "physical" class for that matter, without Second Wind or Holy Path. And I'm Psychic. Tho, I don't really see what genie skill in particular is THE counter to a Psychic.

    It goes both ways for BM vs Psy. Psy is heavy magic damage with low physical res. BM is heavy physical damage with low magic res. But psy can turn on reflection and reduction then boost def level and psy becomes a thorn bush. Like I said earlier, I'm at level 97 archer and when fighting a psy at level 6X, I was hitting myself with reflect damage and killing myself faster than it was killing her. 97 vs 6X should be a push over, doesn't matter whats going on there.

    But the last post was more about assassins and not being able to touch them at all.

    I think Pandora's age old guide puts it nicely.

    "All an archer has to do is select you and roll it's face over the keyboard and you're dead."

    Tradeoff for a little slower channeling is having the highest defenses of any arcane class. I love my wizard

    Stone Barrier must be amazing. 100% physical defence increase!? that's like 400 defence to 800!!! wizards are practically tanks!*Sarcasm if you didn't pick that up* Psy is faster than a wiz as far as spells go. Lets not forget the voodoo spells. Which isn't a bad add to the class, and that much i won't complain about. But that mixed with the reflection and damage reduction... thats overkill.

    You have to understand that White Voodoo doesn't make a Psychic a Barb. Even with White Voodoo on it doesn't take a lot of hits to kill us. Honestly, White Voodoo is way more useful when you want to tank magical bosses. Soul of Vengeance doesn't one shot you if you attack the Psy, get real... And Retaliation and Stunning both disappear upon a successful cast. The only "real" threat against a White Voodooed Psychic would be Soulburn, which has a huge animation, a +2sec casting time and is quite easily avoidable. Plus, White Voodoo greatly reduces our damage too.

    I'm sorry to say (AGAIN), but, if you got killed by a 6x Psychic with a 97 Archer, you suck and should quit the game. You should one shot a Psychic that level and Souls shouldn't hurt you very much...

    My problem isn't that they can do this to people already fighting. It's that they can do this to anyone except for a barbarian, at any time, with a good chance of success and no real counter. Any other class, you can see coming on the map, and thus have at least some time in which to counter, run, whatever. An assassin simply appears, stabs you, and goes back into stealth.

    well I could be wrong... but isnt the whole point of any assasin in any game (or real life) to sneak up behind unsuspecting opponents and take them down wihout anyones notice? b:question

    I agree with that part, but the assassin should just be cloaked more, I should still be able to hit it. Like level 10 cloak = 95% invisible. You can still see a blur or outlines so you can target it. THAT would be amazing.

    And don't even say Tideborn isn't overpowered, I think a good 50% of all new threads since TideBorn release was complaining its overpowered. XD
