Psychics at Endgame

red tide bleed if not purified by genie or ep is our 1 shoot skill


we have immune physical skill rellay god against bm and archer (psy will)
we have reflect + absorb skill really good against mage ( soul of retaliation )
we have 2 stun skill ( earth vector and soul of stunning )
we have 2 slow skill ( aqua impact and aqua cannon )
we have <2 seconds skill only



so we have really great damage skills with great effect not as strong as mage but faster ( good for pvp )

hai trolll, apparently you are stupid enough to actually thinking of comparing a 2 sparks with a non spark spell. I comparing 2 strongest non spark spells, sorry for not being clear.
annd hai, I also have a cleric lvl85
Also,
Wield Thunder: 200% of weapon damage plus 4583.3
Glacial Shard: 200% of weapon damage plus 2675.1
Ye... 4583.3 < 2675.1 and 0>1, right?

Damage per hit = Our damage sort of caps where Wizard damage doesn't. A good idea of max Psy damage per hit is the AOE's. Glacial shards, Sandburst, Aqua Cannon, Aqua Cannon being our hardest hitter besides Red Tide but it requires the enemy to be next to you. The other two can be spammed freely with no limits. If you check Wiz damage, you'll see that they get 300% damage bonus, 400%, 500%....no limit, whereas we cap at 200%.
Sins are of course a physical class, so they won't go anywhere near out damage per hit. I know that regular hits are very low damage per hit, but their damage from skills and crits is fairly high by physical damage standards.


Damage per second = Psys beat Wizards. We simply cast faster, so while a Wiz may hit 12k in one hit, in the same amount of time we hit 14-16k in two. Simple as that, really.
I'm not actually sure if we out-do Assassins or not. The reason is because in BH runs, I ALWAYS pull aggro. Not the archer, not the wiz, not the assassin. Me. However, if I'm using White voodoo on a boss, then it is the sin who starts pulling aggro. Aside from that, Sins are always bragging about their crit rate and crit damage, and when I calculate with the numbers they give me, they SHOULD outdamage me. Perhaps they do, but mobs tend to run towards classes that hit hard in individual hits more. Or perhaps...The sin community as a whole is rather arrogant, so they could be exaggerating their damage. I dunno.


Status Ailments = Psys have superior "PvE status ailments" (slow target, bleed target, decrease accuracy) compared to Wizards. We have a far more reliable freeze spell, an equal "blind" spell and an inferior (only on success %) slowing spell. However, I can tell you that this combo compliments the Psy much better than the Wizard's. On top of that we have a spell to interrupt channeling, silence and stun.
Admittedly though, I'd say a Sin has better PVP status ailments. The reason is that our really strong ailments (stun, silence) are mostly passive; they require the enemy to attack us first. A sin has a dozen ailments, all of which can be used when the sin wants.



Buffs = A Wiz's buffs are pretty self-explanatory and useful in every situation. A Psy's buffs are pretty tricky. We can increase the power of our charms, potions and healing spell, we can get an 8 second physical damage immunity and we can make attacking us a dicey move altogther.
I would definitely choose a Psy's buffs over a Wizards. A wizard's buffs function more like something that helps you reduce a 200 damage hit to a 150; helpful and doesn't have downsides, but often it's not life-saving or noticeable. A Psy's buffs are more like the ace in the hole that will save your butt. Soul of Silence, Soul of Stunning, Soul of Retaliation and Psychic Will are all lifesavers.
Sin buffs (invisibility, recover HP near death, increase crit damage) are of course useful, but I can't tell you how useful. Those are the types of buffs where their usefulness depends on the person using it.

Just one things, psy have +22 atk lvl buff so it makes the difference in terms of dmg b:chuckle

22 attack levels doesn't exactly make up the difference between 200% and 500% weapon damage not to mention the static bonuses on moves like BIDS and MS and debuffs like undine strike. The advantage of good DPH is the ability to bypass charm. An endgame psychic will have difficulty bypassing charm ticks of a high HP barb whereas a wizard would be able to 1-2 shot while charm is in cooldown. Endgame wizards also tend to be a lot less squishy due to stone barrier. With good equips/sharding, they can get great defense on both sides.

PVE wise, psychics are probably better because high DPS allows them to kill a lot of things before it reaches them. On bosses, they end up doing a lot more damage over time.

i meant when you compare this V, you have to make it thinking of the +22:

Wield Thunder: 200% of weapon damage plus 4583.3
Glacial Shard: 200% of weapon damage plus 2675.1

True but it s not like psy buff that s almost part of yourself >.<
i personnaly almost always have it on
But well you got a point here

Thats awesome
