So people have been saying that these 2 classes(wiz and psy) are very different(however I don't see much difference in them...but don't take it personally, I'm new). Can y'all list the differences between these 2 classes and what they are better at compared to each other? I would also like to know what they are like at endgame. I hear that wizards are gods-on-earth at endgame, is this true? If so, than what are psychics like at endgame? So like I said, please list the differences between these 2 classes and pros and cons of each and what each are better at when compared to each other(I want all of this to be based on ENDGAME). I would also prefer that only the people that have played both wiz and psy to a decent lvl(say...70+ on both) to answer. It would still be helpful if you answered even if you don't have both classes at a decent lvl. But please, DO NOT BE A BIASED ******.

Oh and also, how come people say wizards suck like hell in the beginning? Why do they suck and how do they suck? Is it that they suck in PvE? Is it that they suck in PvP? And I've already posted a thread like this in a different section of this website but I'm gonna keep the other 1 up(or let it die by itself) because it has a poll in it(so far wizard is winning if you wanna know...lol).

    Psychics compared to wizzies:
    - faster channeling of skills
    - better damage on skills at lower levels, weaker at higher levels
    - less mana efficient (use more MP pots)
    - less useful heal
    - less physical defence
    - more control skills
    - no constant AoE skill


    If this is your first character in PWI I'd recommend sticking to psychic. Wizard is really hard to play at low levels while psychics got easy start.

    *giggle*

    if you dont mind to have a ..uhm.. odd position and unhealthy skin color combined with odd ears, stay psych

    wizard has the advantage of the human look, + more specifications there
    i get the elf wings are ok on females, enhance the look, but tideborn head-thingies are ugly
    +psychs are Jelly fish for me, watch them just stand there... lol


    wizards have simply about no chance in pvp low lvls (low hp, def, attack, atack-speed aaand NO control skills) and well pve starts to get bad when farming-instances begin, this problem is shared with psychs
    endgame pvp gods... who is spreading out that lies D:?
    (must be the 1shots, a wizard with a exceptionally overpowered weapon hits hard... now eh orly? - highest weapon-damage-multipicator on skills: 500%)

    I didnt lvl a psych beyond lvl 19, no motivation, wizard is still fun and always was



    this game, as it is at ENDGAME
    is all about PHYSICAL classes who aim for the highest possible attack rate
    = Fist-Blademaster, Fist-Archer, Fist-Barb, Assassin

    so wizard or psych, whatever.. PVE (runs for your gear) is doomed for you
    not sayn ur useless or wont have fun, but u wont keep up





    Psychs are Rare, really rare at high lvls, there must be a reason behind this?
    find out

    That also go's for wizzies. ijs

    I rarely see wizzies at low lvls and I don't see many high lvl wizzies at high lvls as well.

    Like what you said its all about the melee classes, because Psy don't suck in PvP. >.>

    Just wanna add

    Psy have no physical attack of any kind and whilst wizzies have only 1 it happens to severely violate LA and Robe users.

    Wizzies get a nice mana buff - YAY!

    Wizards also have the fire skills tree - which when combined (correctly) also wreaks havoc on robe users (especially using a fire sutra)

    Downside, before level 90 you gotta pump major cash into wizzie to play as arcane, if you an't afford it, its' LA or die die die die die die die

    *20 mins later*

    die die die die die die and lets see DIE!

    apart from this everyone said everything.

    Both are fun, however I am biased as I am a ****!

    j/k or am I?

    hav fun folks
