Holy hell, its been such a long time since I've played. This new class has intrigued my greatly, so what the heck?
Quick questions on Psychics.
Are they fragile?
Zre they DD's?
Do they have decent buffs?
Good skills?
What does this class have over the other tide class?
Basicaly all that jazz. A comparison to a class would be golden also!
Thanks for the help

    without any 79/sage/demon its kinda hard to say

    but atm they are fragile
    mage w/out earth shield

    they hit weaker than mages but they cast faster
    there spells got crappy wep damage modifers so suck later onwards
    they can around the same as a mage but they need black voodoo on
    it reduces ure def lvl by 11.5

    there buffs aint that great, very unsynergistic
    lemme elaborate
    1. buffs refelct damage so they are best cast on tanks
    2. but buffs cost tank like 100 mana for every hit they take
    3. tanks dont have lots of mana
    4. ???????????
    5. profit

    they have a 1 spark move called soulburn
    its a curse that makes the victim take damage when he attacks
    its good damage but noone will attack after realiseing they are debufffed

    The way you're describing it Magikrap, Psychics seem worthless xD.

    I think we're just a damn fine class. We got good single nukes, good aoes with very very nice effects, and some amazing buffs for ourselves too.

    I believe that Soul of Vengeance reflects all kind of damage, but I'm not sure. Soul of Stunning is pretty nice too, and Soul of Retaliation seems truely awesome. Regarding Soul of Silence, you need high Soulforce to have like 10% chance to trigger it, it seems to be the weakest Soul to me. (I have 5k, it has something like 2.80% chance of casting silence).

    According to ecatomb, a wizard casting level 10 sandstorm gets their base magic attack, 300% of their weapon damage plus 4288. And that takes them 4 seconds.

    In that time, a psychic could cast spirit blast and landslide, giving them their base magic attack twice, and some percent of their weapon damage twice plus the constant adds from both spells.

    But your base magic attack will be much higher than your weapon damage, even if you are a full vit build or a light armor build.

    Actually the chances of those AOE effects proc-ing is not that high... Even at 90% , it still may fail to trigger the procs.

    Single nukes depends highly on weapon and it's refines as it is capped at 100%, so you will always need higher refines to bring out higher damage.

    I think all these needs to be told to the general Psy population, that if you have a crappy weapon, you will do lower damages than mages.

    If you get the legendary weapons and refine + socket it, your damage may be slightly higher or at least, on par with the mage.

    Aqua Impact works at 100% of the time even though it says 50% at max level >.> for me at least lol

    Psychic will only works on yourself... "removes any effect from the target"
    "the target" = you
    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] yay :) ^.^
