    *Sage Bubble of Life purifies.

    *Sage Soul of Vengeance doesn't cost MP (FINALLY I can put it on tanks)

    *Sage Landslide increases range by 3 meters (which I think is roughly equal to PvE mob's magic range, so no more walking forward slightly! :D)

    *Sage DoTs do more damage than Demon. Demon does them in less time, but still have the same cooldown, so it's kind of pointless.

    *Sage Soulburn and Psychic Will duration increases by 2 seconds. Which is the equivalent of roughly 7 more levels if it went at the same pace. o.o

    *Sage Black Voodoo = 3 more attack levels <3

    *-3% channeling on Demon White Voodoo is pointless. ._.

    *Sage SoSilence is 5 seconds.

    *6 second freeze on Glacial Shards.

    **50% chance for a chi-free Earth Vector

    **50% chance for 1-spark Red Tide

    **Spirit Blast is sexy for chi, since it's one of our main DPS skills anyway

    **50 free chi every minute

    The double-starred ones are important because we're a very chi-reliant class. ._.

    I main a 97 Psy named /\bra. The forums don't like his name.
    So I post on my Barb.

    Also like to add on that sage Landslide's extra effect is WAAAAAAY more effective than you'd expect. You'd think it'd be near worthless. In reality it let's you stand pretty damn far away and use it, often allowing you to increase your damage output in some cases.


    Demon's not bad either though. I mean like Glacial shards is a great example: Sage gives a longer duration, demon gives better chance of success. Soul of Silence too: Sage gives longer duration, demon gives better chance of success.
    Most Demon Psys will probably point to Landslide, Sandburst Blast, Tide Spirit, Soul of Vengeance and Aqua Cannon as a few worthwhile skills on their end.

    To me though, Psy will and Soulburn are absolutely crucial skills for Psys. Anything that increases their duration, even by a bit, is golden. The added effect on Bubble of Life is essentially a new skill in itself, as well. Earth Vector and Psy will are perhaps the two most important and used skills overall, and both need a spark. The extra chi skill and the 50% chance of Earth Vector not costing a spark for sage Psys is also golden.
