    Your first choice would be a Cleric for his buff and heal. You can also couple with a melee attacker like BM or barb to tank bosses and physical mobs.

    Find a class you like to play, whatever class you may choose its easy to get quests done when you are two.. As a psychic you might not be able to tank any special bosses or TTs so even as a cleric that wont matter...

    Nice duo is Cleric + Barb/Blademaster.. A strong BM with lvl 95 Lunar claws + a cleric healing is a strong combo.

    But playing with others as a team is a very important task and makes everything a lot easier later on.

    White Voodoo with DoTs works just fine for that. If well geared, you can do with with Black Voodoo provided the cleric healing you, obv.

    Honestly, I find it harder to find a class that doesn't work pretty good with a Psychic. Pretty much everyone is useful to us if they know their class well enough.

    For example, have a melee character nail a mob with a good duration immobilize (Assassin's have a very good one for this), then get the aggro and cut loose from max range. The mob can't get into its attack distance and doesn't care about the assassin. It attacks no one, as if it were stunned.

    That's just a simple example. There's a lot of useful tricks that the other classes can help you with.

    well, imho a cleric is the best
    for regular quests it would be faster to have a ranged DD
    but a cleric can literally save you and deals good damage too
    besides the normal quests, if you have a cleric it would be far easier to do every other quest. perhaps for some you will need a tank but i think it's much easier to find a tank (if you cant tank it) than a cleric. afterall only one class can effectively heal.

    i would advise against the tank-psy combo for regular quests since you would either wait her to hit first and then attack (by then the mob will be dead with a psy-cleric combo) or you will attack and get aggro and she will just hit the mob...
    and dont forget that bubble comes with a quite high mana cost...
    but regular quests are not really hard anyway
    the real issue are bh/bosses where you will need a cleric

    I've been in this situation before. I rolled as a Psychic, and my friend an Archer. I can honestly say, it's a fantastic duo. We've been doing it from level 20-70, If you intend to quest together frequently, it's a perfect team combination. Almost nothing can get to you before you kill it. If something goes wrong you both have knockbacks, slows, and eventually stuns. It's also a great combination for aoes, seeming as a combination you can pretty much wipe out any group within seconds. The advantage of one being melee and the other magic is also very valuable, the Mob Res/Def mobs will be of no hassle.

    The obvious downfall are bosses, but groups are easy to come by at the location. Like someone mentioned on here earlier, I get the feeling any combo in the game could work well if both players know exactly what they're doing, and know how the other plays, which you will learn in time!

    I think my case is different than any Psychic I've come across.
    I went for an arcane-tank build, and I've been able to solo every single boss-quest I've gotten... so far (excluding FBs).

    They're my favorite fully-capable arcane-tanks because of their lightening-fast casting speed, combined with their high damage output, AND their ability to heal. Because of their unwaveringly powerful spell strength, Psychics can afford to have up to 1/3 of their unallocated magic stats put into vitality (giving your avatar enough HP to defeat a boss on its own).

    As an example, if my Psychic had 90 allocated stats in Magic, it would also have 30 allocated stats in Vitality.
    This gives me the advantage against bosses, while only suffering a few hundred in damage reduction.

    Which brings me to the point (No, I wasn't just bragging):

    If your girlfriend follows that regime in allocating her points, there would be little that she couldn't do while working together with a cleric.
    White Voodoo + Bubble of Life + Cleric buffs and heals = A long, but ultimately winning battle against nearly all bosses and mobs, without the need for a physical tank.

    And keep it in mind that the less members in your squad, the more drops for the two of you. Your class combination needs to win.

    And trust me, this one does.

    If you have any other questions about the build of a psychic, or what bosses she should be able to beat and at what level, feel free to message me.
    Looking for better siggy! PM me for details.

    I play my psychic with my friend cleric. We are both same level in the 75 range. We never died to regular mob or bh cause its the best combo after bm + melee or better.

    Everyone forgot to mention Empowered Vigor. Its a buff you can cast on another person or yourself it increase their healing rate effect from healing potion and skills. Stack that onto your cleric friend/partner white voodo on psy.

    You guys are set pretty much for any regular mob and most bh bosses. I went vit/magic so i got the hp to tank psychical boss if if thinks seems bad psychic will. Close to 8 second of protecting from psyhical mobs but 8 if your maxed it + any of these other awesome skill soul burn ,redtide or tide spirit than just dd the hell out of any boss xD

    Cleric and Psychic pretty much annihilate everything. At least in my experience. If they both have good gear, they can both hit considerably hard. (I'm talking about pure MAG Cleric here)

    I team up with my bf's psy and neither of us ever die. (Except when I lag, lol) The psy's healing skill helps a lot, as well as cleric's plume shot, to deal with increased magic resistance mobs.

    I personally like the cleric and psy together best.

    I agree me and jelly really never die....provided that there is no case for extreme lag. Even so most times i can pull out on my own and keep us both alive. Now my set up is not like Jutte's mine is more pure arcane however i find i can still tank most bosses with her due to the fact that alot of them have aoe skills. With them casting aoes my girl can easily keep my happy self alive and still DD. It is an amazing combo when you really think about it and now i am even managing to kill Increase Magic Resistence with absoultely no trouble. Just remember that your Psy girlfriend must learn to kite...one of the most effective methods i know. And i may get hit once outta every 10 monsters. Oh..... and i LOVE YOU JELLY!!!b:dirtyb:dirtyb:kissb:kiss

    Psychics solo pretty much all of their quests and mob killing without difficulty, so go with whatever you please. If you pick something that's not a fish, though, she will probably get to 20 a lot faster than you.

    Just throwing this in there~

    BMs can stun lock anything except bosses while you pound pound pound. Then you'll have a phys tank too. With the amount of dmg output a psychic has its better just to stun and kill then try to have someone else TRY to hold aggro from ya.
