Base Stats
Mana: 120
Channel: 1.5sec
Cast: 1.5sec
Cooldown: 8sec
Requisite Culti: Harmony (lvl29)

- Deals damage equal to your base Mag ATK + 110% gear attack and another 675.8 Water Damage to all Targets within 8m. 65% chance to slow Targets down by 80%, lasts for 2.3 seconds.

Is it me, or does this skill really belong in a vague HA Psychic Build for Tanking? Seems well enough to keep Aggro Control. And since it can't be cast from a distance, it's kinda designed for that.

And discuss this skill and it's usefulness. Yeah...

    I think it's useless. It's like the dragons breath but doesnt stay active...

    Psychic is squishy, and the dmg at lvl 1 is around 2000.
    At the lvl u get it, mobs already have more health, so gathering mobs, and casting that nuke is suicide.

    It's good to help newbies later on when doing an fb19, gathering mobs, and nuking them to a pulp and getting praised b:laugh

    i use it on physical mobs if they get too close. It normally finishes them off. I could use another skill but none of my other skills are awesome like that (lets get to 39 and see).

    Something that makes me think though, a lot of a Psychics aoes are centered around them. This makes me think about what their role in pve/pvp/TW is going to be.

    Despite its potential... Can anyone see/the higher levels let me know if its cooldown decreases as you level? If not, it wont be that good on its build.

    I think it will work with with the other 6-8 meters aoe you get later. Guess we going to be chaining aoes.

    most of our skills are aoe yes, so i think there must be a kind of "tank" build to test out, but combinated to arcane armor hum sounds weird lol. For now i m LA i ll see later if i make it with crit stun and paralyze aoe + reflect of course

    My take on it is that its simply useful for keeping gathering mobs at bay. I usually use a combo of this, Earth Vector, and then Holy path to get away from the mobs. Then chain aoe to finish. Its not that hard to stay alive, and the skill is actually very useful.

    I also use it on bosses to get a little extra dmg in when my aoes are on CD. Run up, Spark or w/e and nuke.

    I think it would have a decent use in a rebirth. Mainly because the overall dmg output isn't high enough alone to pull agro. But it does have a moderately decent range. So yeah, in a rebirth I think it would work wonders to help w/ dps, without making you overly susceptible to hordes of mobs. Of course, as anyone who knows how to play the game, already knows; make sure that your tank has agro before causing any damage.

    I was thinking this too. I rarely use it in PvE situations.

    OK I lied...I use it during Public Quests.

    Same. I use this quite abit in the PQs. Also its decent in FBs if your other aoes are on CD and you have no chi.

    to me it just seems like a water base aoe...aoeing for most classes i dont consider a solo job...but get a nice cleric + axe BM to gather they start their aoe chain to get aggro u chain to finish em off sure the BM+cleric could duo but it would take a good bit longer :3

    also its not bad if ur group's healer aggros multiple mobs, run over cannon (slows em down) barb runs up and saves the day XD dunno so far at 32 im not a fan of this skill im leavin it at 1 for now

    i found a use for it, as they say in aoe situation like rebirth and pub quest its a nice chaining aoe when everything in CD and not enough chi for the others but if u chain with the cannon, the chance u draw aggro is very high ( my psy lvl 66 draw aggro from DB from a 7x wizz ) so its good when u got a cleric on ur back buff up vigor on self and u out dmg everyone around, and in fb when theres many phys mob and a cleric around u can play the bm, buff up white voodoo ( mine lvl 5 and i think ill keep it 5) then chain aoe with clery spamming IH on u. and im pure mag arcane built i can keep aggro from bm on deff buff and idk about other they where holding back.
