PvP Tactics (Psychic)

Clione - Harshlands

Alright, I'm currently level 60 which means soon, PvP happens more often.

I want to make sure that I'm prepared for it, so I'm asking for different ways of taking on different classes.

Here are the strategies that I find best, if you can improve any, please do I want to learn.
(Please be serious)
Note: Soul of Vengeance is always on.

Cleric: With Clerics, I let them move first then act on that. If I see him starting to stack buffs, I soulburn, black voodoo, then nuke away. If I see him casting their sleep spell, I SoR, Soulburn, black voodoo, then nuke away. Through various duels, I found that I tend to lose to Clerics.

Archer: Err, I don't know what to do with archers, any suggestions?

Barbarian and Venomancer: I get intimidated, white voodoo, soul of stunning, and flee to a body of water (scaredy fish). I do this because I don't believe that I can take down a barb. (High HP, Stun) Venos, well, thats just a psychological problem for me. Having two things attacking me at the same time panics me, and I run. I would REALLY like some help in advice on taking these two out.

Wizard: I don't really have any issues with wizzys (atm), I simply White Voodoo, Soul of Stunning, Soulburn, and DoT. They don't really hurt me much seeing as my build is pure mag.

Blade Master: Not much experience with them either. Any tips?

Assassin: I always try to stand my ground against sins, although usually I end up with my face in the ground.
1. Sin stealths, I White Voodoo.
2. Sin trys to intimidate me with words, I SoR.
3. Sin Headhunts, I soulburn.
4. Sin does other stuff which I'm not sure is, I nuke.
5. Somehow I'm on the floor.

Psychic: Haha, I just watch them and try to counteract anything they do.
Example: They start to nuke me, I soulburn
Example: They soulburn me, I Soul of Stunning, white voodoo and DoT
Example: They DoT, I nuke
Example: They heal, I emp vigor then heal
and a whole bunch of other stuff.

When a sage psy have low hp can start channel (sage) bubble of life and then expel yourself before bubble end channeling will remove the silence effect heal your fishy butt and be immun to phys dmg, it s like using psy will but with a healing bonus lol.

Just found that out and wanted to share :P , you can then use psy will if your opponent doesn t have too much hp he should drop dead easy (that's against melee class of course)
b:bye

edit : added copyright on this combo lol

Your pretty spot on with many tactics.

As for Veno's there one of my favorite classes to fight since we can kill there pet so easily.
1st off establish if they have a nix or not, if they don't there simply not a big threat. (Unless they seriously out gear/level ya)
Against nix veno's all I do is soulburn the nix followed by Psychic will and the nix will die in 1 to 2 hits, (Also remember that Psychic will protects you from the venos worst attack against you Ironwood scarab.)
After there pet is dead just nuke them down stun if needed and they die soon after.

Against barbs can be much tougher, they will have massive amounts of health and still be able to deal serious damage to you.
Your best bet here will actually be to try and kite as much as possible for as long as you can.
When they do reach you just Psychic Will and soulburn if you can and hope to survive.
(Also don't forget to used your maxed diminished vigor on them as well.)

Against clerics I just Earth vector then soul burn then Psychic will. And hope I where then down before they heal back up.(Diminished Vigor here is also a must.)

Archers are easy if you can get the drop on them, Just Earth vector then holy path right on top of them. Follow this with Aqua cannon to slow there running then right after use Psychic Will then soulburn. This usually works for me.
(If they do get the drop on ya there's nothing you can really do unless they have horrible gear.)



Against sins you strategy is spot on.
Just remember to DOT and Psychic will after soulburn.
(And pray, this is not a proven tactic though. ^^ )


Treat blade masters like barbs. Just use Absolute domain after there stun then Psychic Will after you can move again.
(BMs can be great, but i've fought some noob ones as well. See below Pic.)

Hope this helped!

Three BM's and a barb thought they would try to quadruple team me here.
It was a valent effort. b:cute

hahahaha i love the pic with the 4 dead people floating all around you b:laughb:laugh

I can't wait till i hit 95, ill be getting my lunar weapon and I think PVP is going to get really interesting at that point.

Archers: I liked Anemone said about archers and running up to them, but what i do is just earth vector and then nuke them and they almost always go down before the stun is even down. if they live, i make i sure i have SoR up for their stun, and then psychic will and continue nuking them. I never have trouble with archers.

Sins: i pretty much do what you do, although i usually stay in black voodoo. This is the only class that still regularly takes me out, but once i get either expel or absolute domain i should be able to deal with these guys pretty easily. What im lacking now is that both in whitevoodoo and blackvoodoo they kill me before their stunlock is over, and both those genie skills would fix that problem.

Barbs: right now i dont have enough HP to stall barbs, so i just kite like crazy (glacial shards, 79 water skill, earth vector normally slows them down quite a bit.) Once i get enough HP i will just white voodoo, DoT soulburn and pot, and hope i tick their charm a lot before i die xDD if they are uncharmed they will go down long before i do.

BM's: I would say always keep SoR up against axe bms, and always keep soul of stunning for those fist BMS. SoR protects against smack and their jumpy stun, although it doesnt protect against the lion stun.
If they stun you, psychic will as soon as yo uget out of it and kite them with the same combo mentioned above. If you don't kite BM's and let them stunlock you, you lose. Just practice staying far away.

Clerics: these have been tough for me, but try to psychic will before they destroy you with plume shot and then soulburn, you should kill them before they can kill you. Diminished vigor if they stop attacking to heal themselves.

Venos: i always fail against these guys, but try the souburn pet psychic will combo. DONT FORGET PSYCHIC WILL REMOVES THE PET BLEED. if you see a pet bleed on you, drop whatever your doing and psychic will immediately.

Psys: I have better gear than most psys my lvl so i always win xD just keep SoR up for their soul vector, if they have soul of stunning, soul vector them, youll wake up first and finish them off, if they have SoR sandburst blast (short channeling, long cast, but wont matter if your stunned anyways) then earth vector them.

Wizards: white voodoo, soulburn, DoT, very easy class to beat. SoR if you want to try and undine them, soul of stun if you want to DoT them.

Hope this helps?
