So is a psychic worth leveling up if you don't plan on pvping with it? Just for the pve aspect is it worth the time?

    Psychic shines in aoe instances and PvP.

    If you don't do a lot of one of those two, I'd choose a different class.

    They shine alot in aoe instances? Such as Fc and gamma right? I know they have alot of aoes, but don't most squads just prefer a different class anyways?

    I get chosen in squads 90% of the time i pm the one forming and i havent pvp/pk'd a lot with my psy.
    I find PVE entertaining and easy, but that might be only me because i'm more of a pve player.

    Yes, FCC, Gamma/Delta, and Warsong are high points for Psychics PvE wise. The classes that would get chosen over a Psy or on same level as Psy for that purpose are: Seeker, Wizard, Archer. A Seeker with bloodpaint is very very sturdy in AoE situations and is preferred by some. A Wizard and Archer are just about a tossup, these days, as people generally recognize now that Psychic's are useful as well.

    Ok so basically you guys are useful in pve. I was basically starting to think that psychics were only good for pvp, and it was making me have 2nd thoughts about leveling one up. I don't mind pk now and then, but I don't want it to be mandatory if you know what I mean.

    just as a heads up now form about lvl55~85 as a class psy tend to suck once you get past that we start to shine

    in a nutshell, you need to max Sandburst blast, glacial shards, and aqua cannon for psychics to really rock. Having earth vector and psychic will maxed doesnt hurt either. Oh, and you MUST keep both your Voodoo skills maxed. its a tossup whether you need white voodoo maxed or not, but once you start hitting like a truck again, you'll want the extra def lvls. exp since you can start doing pulls once you get TT90 gear (green works fine, if you lvl fast enough)
