So...as I'm thinking about restating for TW soon and all that stuff...
What do you think about a support psychic?
Shard gear with what stuff?
Allocate pointsin which way?
How many HP should you have?

For those who dont know what a support psychic is..o-O
Basically u give the barbies in your TW all the nice little buffs you have to offer.

Thanks in regard.
And everything you gave me...vanished without a trace.

    OK .. um maybe im a noob but ... Psy's dont have enuf buffs to efficently buff others ..u cant cast any of your buffs on multiple people there cooldowns are all = to there duration also the Soul of X skills cost Mana when they tick effecting the Barbs mana even with a charm thats gonna cost

    Bubble of Life is nice but with the 30 second cooldown its not nearly enuf and potentially just makes squishy little you more of a target without ur buffs

    the end result imo is you heal your squad become a target and your barb can only normal attack cuz of mana issues caused by your "support".

    Imo its beter to stick to your major role of DD and Curses i.e ( diminished vigor, Soulburn, Disturb Soul) and support your team With blessings and heals by situation not always which shouldn't require a restat or special shards or stat allocation i wont comment on hp because thats a matter of opinion to be honest wat number makes u feel safest with your class/playstyle

    Ok according to your answer..I suppose u dont have any TW experience dude.
    Empowered Vigor on a cata barb works miracles.
    Soul of Vengeance on the cata cleric is nice as well.
    Beiong in white voodoo and tossing out your dots is also helpfull.
    Seem you dont know much about psychics o-O'
    There is a lot more then "pure DDing" for the psy class.
    And everything you gave me...vanished without a trace.

    Just put like 50 points in vit, get phys def ornament, refine your gear (+5 is good and not too hard to make), then shard either citrine or garnet. With TT90 and no hp buff you should have around 4k hp and good phys def if you go for garnet shards, i m not there yet so i can t realy tell you but i think garnet will have the best effect especialy if you are thinking of running around with white voodoo on; as def lvl is % based you should notice the difference.

    She puts it well.

    Even a mass amount of Vit will only make you slightly more durable in TW.
    (Most times you die are from ganks/zergs anyways witch no amount of vit will help.)

    Play your class however you think will be most fun, don't let me stop you. I would just recommend being able to DD well AND being able to support people with your buffs.)

    Well i did say im a noob ..i know enuf about psychics

    ALL im trying to say is why change your whole Char for 3-6 skills That are just as effective going the regular DD route

    also in your 1st post you said BARBS and BUFFS.. my response was based of the information YOU Gave me. IMO as a PSY your DD 1st(wv+dots is still DDing its Just Defensive)Support while part of our capabilities should not be our 1st prioriety

    I've been thinking about this and here's what i thought was a good strategy as a Cata party psy.

    1. always keep Empowered, and if you have it sage soul of vengaence and silence on the barb. This will work miracles for the cata barb.

    2. always keep white voodoo on unless you need to focus and kill a specific target, then black voodoo and nuke. With white voodoo spam your DOT's, and soulburn, and possibly red tide if you have spark pots. You want to be able to stay with the barb and survive as long as he does so that you can support him, and white voodoo is essential for this. This way you can't get sneak attacked and you are only vulnerable when your attacking yourself.

    3. Always be wearing soul of stunning and stay close to barb for one reason. If someone is opening zhen or AOEing the barb, you will have automatically bought the barb 3-13 seconds of time to escape the attacker, just by being close and wearing soul of stunning, as well as possibly saving many more by interrupting a zhen. While in most cases I prefer soul of retaliation, stunning has a much greater tactical advantage.

    4. Of course our most useful thing is our excellent crowd control. If your powerful enough and you see a large group coming in a packed in manner, you can 1-3 shot entire groups with your spammable AOE's, as well as sealing, stunning and slowing them down. Do this whenever possible, and your cata team will love you.

    5. Soulburn any DD's you see doing massive damage to your barb. Could save his life.

    Some of these points are kind of obvious, but i thought at least 1 might be appreciated by everybody. Hope this is what you were looking for.
