which is better for PvE when it comes down to DPS, their ability to solo, their aoes and the cost of them?

    I'll answer this according to what you want to know.

    DPS
    Psychic is pretty much even with sins(both have a reputation of aggro stealers) until you hit end game. Sin> psychic at end game, more if sins go for int build

    Solo ability
    Both cannot solo bosses/instances until much later, sin can solo better than psychics at end game.

    AoE
    Sins only get 2 aoe, psychics get more

    Cost
    Psychics use a lot of mana pots, sins use up more hp pots(and mana at the same time)

    No, it is not a typo.

    At later levels, a sin can make use of his chi skills to spark more and deal more damage compared to a psychic.

    If the sins choose to go for int build, (this is late game like 90+), they can perma-sparked and their dps will fly thru the roof.

    Note: the psychic is the best DPS class among all mages in PWI.

    Not that I have played sins or psychics before, this is jsut my observation.

    Clarification for Tsar:

    When Lylfo said 'int', they mean a -interval build, not an 'intelligence/magic' build. Was that why you thought it was a typo? Ignore this post if not...

    Oh yea, thats a source of confusion. Sorry, I meant -interval build. Sins should go a mostly dex(most go for pure dex).
