Psychics Vs Wizzies

I look at the skill tree of Psy which has nothing that is going to indicate the damage is gonna go up and overshot the Mages.

Psy Basic skills itself are capped at 100% weapon damage, which limited output. Therefore, it lead me to believe that Psy, even with Voodoo, the output for both basic skills will rival 1 shot of Stone rain / Sand storm.

However, for same number of shots, the Psy are not going to win at all. Besides, Psy do not have anything else to boost their damage for now except Black Voodoo.

I took Earth tree of Wizards because that is the common element for both classes that does the heaviest damage.

For one elemental def at a time? b:chuckle


You buff water, I hit you with earth :P

You buff fire, well its pointless since I have no fire attacks b:chuckle

You buff earth I hit you with water :P

1- do you forgot wizzies's 1000%elemental def buff??
2-will power on the physic + blades storm and you are a dead

don't make me laugh, the psy is a supporter class(useless),wiz can do the DD or the PKER, PKER i said so i think a psy can't beat down a wiz.

P.S. i can oneshot a cleric with a blades storm why i can't do it on a psy??

Let's say you have a point, White Voodoo plus buffs = hard Psychic to kill, very hard. But, for your buffs to be useful you need to be focused. And for you to be focused you need to be a threat, you need to be a danger that needs to be dealt with. So, based on the tremendous nerf affecting your attack when White Voodoo is on (and skilled at its maximum, which is kind of inherent to your theory), I just don't see how you're gonna hurt enough to bring so much attention on yourself that requires any focus on you. What's the point of being unkillable when all you can do is stand there dealing no damage ?

I know what you're gonna say, "that's why there is White Voodo AND Black Voodoo, so you can switch between them to adapt yourself to those situations" but no. Those two particular buffs have a 3 minutes cooldown and cost some mana, and Psychics just can't afford to be permanently switching between White Voodoo and Black Voodoo. We just can't lower our mananeeds nor regenerate said mana faster than normal (aside from Empowered Vigor, but these are potions and well.. in TW, let's just say that's hardly enough because WE DO USE A LOT OF MANA).

So basically yeah, if you buff yourself with White Voodoo plus Soulburn and all, you will indeed be strong, you will indeed be hard to kill and you will indeed be able to drag at least one enemy down with you when you die. But nobody in their right mind is gonna focus you when the only real harm you can do actually needs you to get hit.

I guess you could say that Psychics were made to buff and debuff, but we all know that can't be true. I think Psychics need to get A LOT of mag so they can deal some real damage with their nukes, but not so much that they can't wear any good armour. They need to diversify a bit with their stats and refine enough so they can get the gear that their Soulforce (and therefore their different Souls) requires.

level 1 skills are weaker than higher level skills. I mean compare earth vectors damage with MS, which i can do later today. I didnt mentioned white voodoo i think.....did i?


If you did not buff with black voodoo, how do you 2 shot a mob? are you referring to Lvl 1 mobs?

And pray, please tell me how you are able to catch up to your lvl 86 Mage damage during your 60 or 60s without this buff?

If you mostly buff white voodoo, and dot mobs, that's gotta be the most mana and time inefficient method to kill a mob.

The cooldown on white and black voodoo is only a few seconds, 8 to be exact.

The reason a psychic can be a threat even while using white voodoo is that their skill Diminished Vigor is very deadly to an enemy barb who is pulling a catapult, ( a TW example) or casting Empowered Vigor to a friendly catapult pulling barb. Those are just 2 scenarios in which you cannot allow a psychic to live.

A psychic is best as support in my opinion.

im frustrated how people being noob here, psy out DD wizz in pve at same lvl. DONT SPEAK ABOUT FREAKIN DMG OUTPUT our skill are UBER FREAKIN fast its like spamming gush if u want to compare then dont forget cast/channel and in pvp wise psy just **** wizz, 64 psy vs 79 wizz = pwn 5 time in a row, 1 soulburn tick and its too late 60 % hp whipe. and wize psy will concentrate on crit % instead of channel like my psy have 6% crit at lvl 66 and pure mag and i steal aggro from 79 archer/wizz with our lvl 1 nuke just by chaining them, other thing earth vector is not a radius aoe, its a ranged aoe just like MS wich do less dmg but take 1 spark and chan 1 sec cast 1 sec so its just like comparing a axe bm with a fist bm.

the bad point of a psy is that small mana pool. and to be a psy you need a brain because you need to elaborate good strategy to pwn people.

i've tested my dmg vs a wizz sightly higher then me, result was pretty similar but i was hitting a way faster. so please dont fact that psy are worthless DD ill come personatly show u how we ****!
