btw i dont know which to select, cause with sage i get +30% damage with daggers meaning 60%normal +30% sage =90%) for me it by pass for much the demon wich is only +1% crit
cause fora a sin that should be like 2%+

about the raving slash, read it again cause i doent lower the oponet defence for 50, it lower YOUR SELF DEFENCE for 50% (its like the frenzy)

b:cry i dont know what to choose and im lv 89 right now QQ
can anybody help me plz?

About me: in pk im a fan of chill of depp cause im a skill spamer
but if i can get like interval bettween hits like 3.0+ ill forget about that chill of deep b:cute

umm so you know demon dagger mastery will actually be 75% not 60% and also 1% crit.

O.o sage bubble of life is like a purify aoe?

If thats the case, I BE ONE HAPPY FISH.

Even if its not aoe, purify is bloody useful.

I've always said that purify needs to be an AoE. If that's the case, sage psy ftw.

<--Only reads posts with 4 lines or less. b:victory

Not to be rude or frank, but your point is kinda invalid.
I love how all these high level sins are touting 'stunlock' as a advantage for demon sins. A lv 86 sin can perfect lock, which is before demon or sage. Please learn more about your class.

Exactly lol. Even 8X sins can hold you in place for pretty long time, and than there is always occult ice + strength build genie if your control skills for some reason would run out.

Sage Raving slash will be used kinda like frenzy. You wont pop it unless you use dmg immune-pot before or have the target stun locked.

Also its just a 50% reduction of Eq value, you will still have a bit of defense left from stats and buffs. Dont know how many times i accidentally popped frenzy (which reduces defense by 100% gear value) while tanking Ancient Evil and Emperor Doom on my archer and didn't die. Not saying sins should try to tank players with -50% reduction but you will not be that much more squishy than you already is.

hiya!

anyone know that the sage bubble of life dispell all negative status effect is aoe?
I mean the bubble of life can be used on the whole squad, does even the purify?

Guys I'm a psy so I really don't care about all this sin stuff so can someone give me some psy analysis plz. Here's my two cents on who has the edge on each skill

Aqua Impact: Demon (if that attack reduced is correct i like it)
Black Vodoo: Sage
Torrent: Sage
Bubble: Sage
Aqua Cannon: Demon (if ur really trying to immobolize at this range ur already dead)
Glacial Shards: Demon (big time op I love it)
Emp Vigor: Demon
Disturb Soul: Even
Tide Spirit: Demon
Red Tide: Demon
Aqua Spirit: Sage
Earthen Spirit: Sage
Spirit Blast: Demon
White Vodoo: Sage
Landslide: Even
Sandburst: Demon (who wants extended range that could bring unwanted aggro)
Dim Vigor: Demon
Soulburn: Sage
Earth Vector: Demon (1 spark wth)
Psy Will: Demon
Vengeance: Sage (this would be a god send to any tank in ur squad)
Soul Stunning: Demon
Soul Silence: Demon (this needs a better cast chance cause it can be really useful)
Soul Vengeance: Sage (reduced dmg is what i use this for)

Totals: Demon 13
Sage 9

I'm still a semi-noob so feel free to give your input and lets take a break from sin yapping all day. I know u guys seemed like sage at first but i'm kinda leaning demon a bit, maybe its just my play style. I will admit that the sage bubble and dots are really tempting. Where is sandtrap btw that would give sage another point probably.

b:victory ty so much for this. i was going to do the same thing to decide and am also a nooby...just reached lvl 63. i am a pure psy with any extra points going into dex for added crit (now at 3% b/c of gear). so i'm painfully squish but can still aggro from bm's 10 lvls higher if a crit. which isn't always a good thing >_>

anyway. from what i've learned through more error than not is that you never want an enemy close to you u. ever! in fact, don't even aoe unless u start with glacial shards and hope it freezes them, it's only two enemies if they hit hard, and you know u can kill em in 3 -4 hits. which, any pure psy should be able to do with an enemy your level.

with that in mind, the demon build seems perfect for what i'm already doing. i do like some sage features suck as black voodoo and soul of vengeance, but the advantages to demon outweigh.

my biggest turn off to sage psy is likely the expanded range of sandburst. if you lag and pull an enemy you didn't see in, you're dead. laggy squishies, better off with demon unless you have white voodoo on and a more durable build than a crit psy.

now i'm sure some would say i'm crazy to sacrifice my vit and str for dex (which is wholly useless to a psy) but i tell you, i love criting every 5 or 6 hits and when u crit aoe...b:dirty

psy hit harder and faster than most DD's of the same lvl, at least from what i've experienced. wizzies i haven't seen too much of but i know they are stronger mages and slower channelers.

finally, chances are, if you are a psy you have died enough to make several cleric friends. therefore, you'll have cleric buffs most of the time and your own personal angel to heal you. so if you like to party with a cleric and do dungeon runs, i say focus more on power and speed than durability. solo will be difficult but you'll be more useful in a party with a good barb and cleric.

this is all just my assumption of course. play the game how you will. try both sides and see what you like better. people have different fighting styles. some don't like draining mp and hp pots all the time, some don't like spending longer than a minute on a monster to whittle down their health.
