Should I restat?

Just a quick question. I'm about to do TW for the first time this weekend (as a psy, at least) and my character has 71 Vit and 263 magic because I made her after the expansion first came out before there were any guides, lol. Right now I'm putting all magic points into her as she levels. So...yeah. If I'm going to be PVPing, will I need to restat so I can do heavier damage? For monsters, I do about 4500-7000 per hit.

    Personally, I'd imagine your soulforce would be what to work on. The Vit will help keep you alive when someone is attacking you, and you can use Soulburn on them when they do to allow them to kill themselves. When you aren't being attacked, you'll be doing long range damage, so you'll be pretty safe. So, in my opinion, stay with your build and just work on refining your gear to get your soulforce up.

    I been looking through the skills, and the psychic seems like a witch or evil something that curses you and cripples you.

    Going full magic to deal heavier damage with your regular attack skills is an options, but also remember that we have skills that rely on soulforce. Those skills are not really affected by magic. I think there is other ways to play a psychic, not just full out DD like archer or wizard. Those 2 classes have no choice but to be that way.

    I'm full vitality so far, and don't really suffer to kill mobs because of black voodoo. In white voodoo I'm pretty near invincible to anything around my level. I think vit in your build is fine because we don't rely so heavily on our basic damage skills. But I'm still low level, much to learn.

    Just my thoughts

    There is in my opinion never any answer on how to build your character...

    As a Psychic my choice is pure magic for high damage. I rely on refines for hp and physical defence shards for overall toughness to survive any class.

    Psychic = fast attacks, high damage output (with black voodoo), lots of AoEs

    That means for my use I want to crit a lot too + do max amount of damage.
    Thats why I have rings that gives % crit to increase that chance.

    My way of playing a psy is to kill the others before they notice me or come close to me by spamming skills that deals a lot of damage and try to slow them, immobilize them etc so they wont get close.

    What I think you should do is to stick with you build, see how it works out.. if you feel like its not working as good as it should you might wanna restat to try. But if you can afford pretty good shards and decent refines (at least +5) you might want to go pure mag, if not you will die pretty fast without any vit...

    Best way is to learn by playing.. if you can look back on character and put your arms behind you head and stare on your characters stats and gear and think it looks great, im sure you have made the right choices for you... If you look at it and think it sux you should change something b:chuckle

    Agreed. I don't think your VIT is going to be a problem. (Sheesh, I thought my 50 VIT was pretty good. .0.)
    If you use AoE's a lot, it's a good idea to get some HP. (AoE's are handy during TW's and also when a tank is aggroing mobs....but little else.)

    If not, refine your items to the best that you can. This will increase your soulforce and in turn your damage.

    for those of you that mentioned refining to increase your soulforce...have you actually noticed how little that does to help? my lvl 80 + 2 weapon only decreased my soulfroce by 7 when i took it off, some of my gear doesn't even lower it. when you have 12k+ soulforce, that isn't enough to matter at all. imo, the refining part of soulforce is just a PWI trick to get ppl to buy more dragon orbs.

    im not sure about numbers. but my vit psy has not yet lost to a pure psy in pvp situations. It makes me feel like having a big health pool is more important in pvp situations.

    A +12 weapon adds over 15k soulforce, ijs.
