Ok, i think posting my question here is a better idea. I'm current a veno with mostly event gear and tt99 and about 19 defense lvl, soon to be 29 defense lvl once i get my nirvana pants and another third socket for my ence helm.

I'm looking to make a new character and psychic and assassin cross my mind, now if i played psychic it would be easier in terms of gearing him up especially with the usage of the account share thingy. I'm a tw lover and i was wondering how does psychic fair in tw?

i know there is a lot of thread on this, i've read them all but i'm still undecided whether they have a function in tw or just an extra dd? what i mean in by this is archer/veno are your basic robe killer while wiz are usually heavy killer, does psychic have such a role?

and what do you guys think of defense lvl gear to compliment white and black voodoo?

    Psychics pretty fun in TW since we got quite a bit of AOEs + we have faster channeling than Wizards but we are also very squishy so if you get caught by an archer off guard, you're dead or a stealthed sin

    but what about how good is psychic at killing people? Is it comparable to mages? so it can go after barb or are they closer to veno and cleric that they should go for bm and light armor?

    Unfortunately TW on this server has only offered me a few serious ones :s
    Guess there are some more TW-experienced (with Psychic) players on the older servers.

    I use 4 different "tactics" (can't even call it that, all are common)

    - Crowd control (black voodoo) or w/e u can call it, I just stay a bit behind, w8 for a barb which will be targeted first, start to spam my AoEs and try to hit as many targets as possible. So obviously just clicking on the target in the middle :P
    Sins love it to die stealthed <:

    - Assist attacks (black voodoo) Most common in TW, u are sure aware of that, but I only use it at rushes, or any actions where u are moving forward. In the enemies base, or in our base I just try to stun AoE, immobilize and kill ofc.

    - Poor wiz imitation (black voodoo) trying to kill well known threats with chi pot (need that always s: ) ->triple spark, extreme poison and/or frenzy + sandburst, LA and HA prefered :P (except Esuna, ahuehuehue <3)
    The dmg is not as high as a wiz's dmg (obviously) but still one of the highest. And our lvl 100 skill (300% or 400% (?) wpn dmg + 10k water dmg) should be what makes us able to oneshot a lot of barbs (at least with full chi, triple spark -> chi pot -> lvl 100 skill.

    - Soulburn (white voodoo) hardly use that, basically only for archers who are standin a bit aside. Somehow they never recognize it in the heat of the battle xD

    But u are the most squishie class when u run around with black voodoo and don't have decent gears. Got killed by an archer with 3 shots last time ._.

    Aren't there any "famous" Psys on your server? o:
    I didn't calculate that much, guess it is the same if u got more hp but lower def lvl, or lower hp and higher def lvl when they are equal in the +% bonus (+27% hp if u got 27 additional def lvls [guess u have 2 def lvls on ur items]).
    But whole equip with 4 sockets and +2 def gems (+48 def lvl) are more than everything imbued with Citrine Gems/Primeval stones. U may calculate with the hp u get more (barb buff) compared to the hp u get more with def lvl, but I think def lvl should still be > hp.

    Lol u made me think about going for def gems only...but I'm too lazy to calc atm xD
    Maybe Hypnos is goin to do the work for me xD (pls? :P )

    nah, i can't find a very nicely gear psy yet. but curious how does your nuke goes against bm. but lvl 100 skill.... if and when they come out with that. I guess playing a psychic is like gambling for the future. but curious how much damage do you normally do without ep/frenzy/spark in tw on people?


    and i have 5 +2 defense lvl gem, 9 +1 defense lvl gem, i'm still using tt90 pants without defense lvl gem because i hate tt99 pants. but i think i take more hits to go down as a veno, but then again it could just be my gear that allows me to take more hit.

    Hard to say..2.5 - 3.2 on LA, depends on their gear, HA average 3.5, AA hard to say...average 2k with pure mag and lunar +6.
    Theres a quite good equipped Psy on our server too, +10 lunar, now nirvana and also +10.
    I could ask him about his dmg but dunno if he's pure mag yet..last time he got 9k+ hp, guess ur wpn will be similar to this (?).

    interesting that means it's actually quite good, cause i do the damage you are doing with a +10 weapon lunar weapon and seeing yours is only +6, that means that i can actually do close to about 4-5k damage with +10 weapon. it's good to know this :P
