    pffffffffffffffffft sorry if I started the game in December and wasn't playing 8 months ago. I don't know everything yet. Good for the wizards you know.

    b:cutei was tanking mantavip for 100k at lvl 52.

    oh and on Dreamweaver, psychics are accepted into squads generally. One of my guilds psy plays on his wiz more actually o_o

    but, i dont mind taking psys on anything ijs
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    Mele mob: Psychic will, white voodoo, done
    Ranged mob: Psychic will, white voodoo, run up to it and hit it with your ballz
    Magic mob: you can take it 1 on 1 if you pot and landslide

    I do admit iv been taking agro when killing mobs in bh on purpose. I'v been adapting my gameplay around the class and am learning that in some cases a psychic taking agro is a good thing for the party. This class is not your average follow behind mage.

    does Rainbow squad even work now? and I see more squad willing to take on another BM, Archer or cleric on their rb squad rather than veno.

    Apparently RB delta rainbow squads still give bonus beans. only gamma be broken (mayhaps the lower level ones as well.)
    and venomancers in delta be used to lure bosses.
    b:sweat


    also me has finally managed to run a few tests of disturbed soul vs essential sutra.
    Essential sutra doesn't get overwritten or anything but disturbed soul's effect still occurs.
    1. me had the psychic cast it before and after sutra which confirmed that disturbed soul does not overwrite it nor does sutra overwrite disturbed soul.
    2. me spammed morning dew (our slowest skill) while in a state of sutra + disturbed soul and it became noticeably slower. me not exactly sure how it works as disturbed soul is suppose to increase channeling time by 80% while sutra is suppose to make skills have no channeling time.
    (me will speculate that disturbed soul be affecting cast time during sutra *since morning dew took roughly 2 seconds (this be a rough guess to how long me skill took) instead of the normal 1.2 seconds*.....which could be from bad translation or something.)

    also _Epyon_ err.....you know wizards can take on mobs 4 levels higher as well? (probably even higher) just need to kite properly with gush....

    Agreed. That being said when I was 70 on my psy I could do the same to lvl 97s in harshland. What does it prove though? That one can stun and knock back till they are dead?

    With enough creativity anyone can kill anything in this game. Knockback, kite, stun, sleep, force of will, whatever. You just gotta have the balls to try and a brain in your head.

    <- was killing level 101 mobs around Sandsong at level 75 with his wizard. Whee.

    I have done BH with psys in squad, or without them 99% of the time.

    Quite frankly, doing BH without a psy is much safer and smoother.

    Reason as follows:

    1. No suicidal psy to keep pulling aggro.

    Seriously, how hard is it not to chain-cast?

    some1s said this, but NEW PPL ARE COMING TO THE GAME.... of course their not going to know how to play... try getting some1 who has played a mage or veno be4 and done bh.. they arnt stupid, they know how to space their cast times.... god find a pys friend that has been playing the game longer then the expersion.
    I do not like the player behind the psys because:

    1. Arrogance (talks on taking over classes and pwning them without researching)
    2. Attitude problem (unable to listen to people)
    3. Ignorance (on aggro management)?

    Agian NEW PLAYERS, of course their goin to think there top coz they can kill mobs on their own.

    i only got up to page 8 be4 i got sick of reading your ****. if u wanna Q_Q go somewhere else and start bragging about how bad ppl play them.

    Anyways, I have played about every class on here. I don't pull aggro except in PQ when I need to be making dmg. But the clerics who PQ with me, are good clerics and know I need heals and I know I am taken care of. So yeah I can pull aggro on 7 mobs at once. And the clerics healing me are also getting the points. The one class I have played the most is a cleric, I know not to pull as an AA. I know how not to pull aggro.

    Many new players are just as Saherra said. But Giodia, you can't say every single person who plays one class is one way or the other. I was ks'd by venos a lot on my cleric, should I assume that all venos are that way? I had a few BMs think they could aoe in a TT above their range while the while fighting one mob and pull the others out of one room, am I going to think all bms are going to do that? Barbs, some have been complete jerks and act like no one else in the party has a clue what they are doing, are they all like that? I can keep going but I hope you get the point.

    Some people are just that way, some people may find it fun to pull of the tank, but it's not just the one class.

    vengeance might maybe suck your mp but it stack with bramble so archer , mage , psychic wont need to stop casting to be sure they dont grab agro


    bubble of life on top with empowered vigor is really nice it not maxed and already heal around 3.5k over 15 seconds at my level which is around 50% hp on barb of my level only the cd and range suck (range will be changed someaday like china did)

    psy useless lol maybe a bit to widely used but not useless. as a pve class they can dd aoe and even aoe heal. there heal isn't that great don't expect them to replace your cleric. but its still useful you aoe healing a party to help the cleric avoide doing it when hes busy with the tank. there dd is close to a wiz and they just have a huge list of aoe attacks they are defently good aoe farmers at higher levels.

    I smell a hater lol. One who apparently doesn't know that a psy can be one of the barbs best friends. Today in FCC, a nameless barb upset the cleric and she left the squad. This nameless barb continued to trash talk the cleric while he was gathering 1-2 squads of phys mobs to aoe. He asked for a DD so he wouldn't die doing the squads with no cleric. This 'useless' psy let him get down to 1/3 hp and cast vigor + bubble of life, (you know the useless heal?) then stunned the mobs with Earth Vector and then hit them with Sandburst. He lived. If I hadn't done that do you think he'd be kissing the floor? A psy useless in party? Are you kidding?

    well he has some points there heal as i said wont replace a cleric but can be handy. i have done bh 29 with 3 phys sin and barb and with 3 of them on heal we did it. its not great by far but its handy to help a cleric. hes right on the barbs its not a good idea to cast it on a barb they mp is to low to handle it.
