1) What is the best build for phsycic? Currently, I am just going all magic. i'm at lvl 26.
2) What do I increase to make tideform attacks stronger? Magic or Physical?

    1. Best build for any pure arcane is 1 STR 9 MAG every two levels.
    2. Huh? You're a mage.

    When you get to sharding your gear, use Pdef shards. Get your VIT boosts from refining and cards.​​

    Tideform is mostly useless for a Psychic. Don't bother leveling it until there isn't anything else to level.
    Even then, I think it's only Level 1 on my Psy, and he's 101 now.​​

    In Tideform you cannot use skills. If you were to put enough points into Strength to make viable damage in Tideform, then your magic attack would suck, and you basically gave your toon the effectiveness of a rock.

    Magic makes all your spells do considerable more damage. STR makes your punching do more damage, but the Psychic is not a punching class. You'd want the Assassin if you want to do that.

    Which is why Tideform is so useless for Psychics. They don't allow you to use skills when you are in that form, so the only benefit you will receive is the swim speed increase.​​

    do not put any points into str , that exceed the amount of points u need to wear arcane armors.

    if you really want to be able to do dmg in tideform , do what sylen said, and roll a assassin.

    I say go for it! Strength and Heavy Armor. You will need Dex to increase Accuracy too, if you are to actually hit anything. Make sure you keep a low level Sphere around to buff yourself with White (Def) or Black (Atk) Voodoo, etc, of which you can swap out with whatever melee weapon you really want to use. Make sure to record how that works out. o:)

    You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Its important to be in tidal form whwnever you can. It gives you some deff levels which are really epensive otherwise.

    As other OP's mentioned, you will need a lot of str to punch. And DEX, dex is the number one friend u have as a psy. You need to make sure u land them hits.

    And to be the number one boss, play witout gear. Gear is for weak people!
