I understand we're still figuring out psychics and sins (sins seem to have progressed massively though) and I haven't really got started on the ol' pvp yet. I'm a big chicken.

See psychics confuse the **** out of me. We hit like a brick with our black voodoo on, but we're then a sitting duck for any passing.. well any class really.

Yet, all our nasties come from our buffs? Which require us to survive a few hits?
So they make me.. ****?



But yeah. Trailing off as ever.

Could I have a few pvp tips from you mean old psychics out there? And other classes, regarding how to beat their asses. :X


I love you all really. :3

    I believe tideborns cannot PvP. So yes, I am saying that Stealth is not skill, it is just something to annoy people. If assassins do not use stealth, they will get embaressed. In conclusion, using stealth is not a *Real* fight. (It is also funny that all 80+ Assassins and Psychics think they are already the best Pk'ers in the whole game)

    Now after I am done complaining about assassins, I spam hp food every chance i get. And if you would like to be less squishy, then re-allocate your magic, in to dex, so you can wear LA. You would only hit like 2000 less damage on a monster if you are Light Armor.
    Please donate money into my mailbox :)

    I'm poor as heck.

    A psy can be very fun to pvp you just gotto learn to use your skills the right way and know how to treat each class, these are the tactics that seem to work form (pure mag Build)

    Barbs: High hp low mag defence, sometimes you can find a fail barb and fight toe to toe with him, but your best bet is to move back as far as you can (holy path works wonders here) duel spark then use starter skills to damage him, once hes close enough us psychic will t resist his damage and finish him off using am skills and landslide, should drop ptty quick evey time.

    Blademaster: kite+sparks+psy+will=destroy, same as barb

    Archers: these guys are all about phy damage, use white voodoo mixed with soulburn and their speed atks kil them fast (soulburn wil bypass arches damage sheild so mak thm kll themselves)

    Wiz: use white voodoo then lanslide hem to mess up their channeling ten use soulbun and mop them up.

    Cleric: same as wiz, (if clerc keeps healn himself use soulburn, everytime he heals it will trigger soulburn to damage him if the efects on him)

    venos: these guys can be a pain depending on their build, most times I go with atk fast quesons later, duel spark surprise is good here

    Psy: depending on if you get thejump on them ornot picks your tactics, if your being the atker treat them like a archer jut don use psy will, if your defending yourself treat them like a wiz/cleric it helps

    Sin: I hate these guys, but they are eaasy if you can get them 1vs1 and you get a chance to see him before he atks, most sins love to telaport to me and try to stun me. if you know thats coming use psy will ten once he gets to you use soulburn his faster atks wll be his undoing and him wth low hp will drop in about 2 secs.

    Note: These are just the tactics i have learned fighting al the time, they seem to work for me, seeing as i win more fights than i lose......I hope this info helpsb:victory

    Hm . . it seem if a psychic facing a class that can kill them quickly, a psychic will use white vodoo then soulburn ?
    But what if the foe stop attacking and just waiting until soulburn gone ?
    With white vodoo the spell damage reduced so much, so force them to attack by attacking them is not possible ? b:surrender

    It might be worth pointing out here that when using White Voodoo the following spells are NOT nerfed:

    -Soulburn
    -Torrent
    -Sand Trap

    Max them b:victory

    With regards to "what if someone stops attacking during soulburn"

    Use it as an opportunity to get some free hits in. Maybe even switch to BV and nuke them.

    From what I've seen, psychics stand around on soul of retaliation and white voodoo to survive hits, and when theyre ready to kill, they switch over to black voodoo..

    Hai Szol!

    And she speaks the truth.
    The higher my level the less daunting all those "Heavy hitter" classes seem to me.

    Just try to be prepared as possible. If feels great to be crit by a high level/well geared archer using aimed shot and survive. And it's all just because I run around with maxed white voodoo up and spamm soul of retaliation compulsively.

    Ummmm soulburn does rather low damage (at least it did when was fighting 95+ psychic). It's like I would use wizard DoTs and expect to kill someone just with that.

    Guess I am screwed xD

    Another question. All these psychic skills one uses (psychic will, soulburn) require sparks.
    What if... I dunno I'm grinding or something. I don't have any sparks and some tard decides to come whacking. No spark for psychic will or anything.

    Is my only chance to whack on white voodoo, get some distance and use glacial?

    I just can't figure out how you guys are seemingly constantly sparked.

    Sorry for nubness, rather ask and get the knowledge than forever be a complete innocent.

    Mind you wizzies have even a harder time getting sparks since their skills are even slower.

    Most people use apothecary items (you make with herbs) to gain sparks and/or genie skills such as Cloud Eruption (my favorite personally).

    For BT there's Psychic Will:

    Channel 0.7, Cast 1.2, 1 Spark only, makes you immune to physical damage for 8.0 seconds (and ironically, would just about remove Undine's debuff since it also purifies b:laugh)

    Unless you silence them with FoW or sleep them instantly, there's Earth Vector:

    Channel 1.0, Cast 1.0, 1 Spark only, 85% chance to stun for 6 seconds. (AOE also LOL)

    plus... wait till they get their 79+ skills (you depend on Sporific Whisper & Undine in your example)

    You make it sound like using whisper is a bad thing.
    Watch out for immune phys damage icon, sleep when its not up, lvl 10 BT.
    QFT. No undine or genie skills required.

    I personally have no experience in PvP with a Psychic, yet. Though I was watching one high 9x one PK today and he seemed to enjoy leaving white voodoo on, and spam SoR.

    Only really saw him fight physical classes, but the white voodoo would help him survive a stun if need be, after which he would flip on PW, switch to Black Voodoo, and ****. (Note: This **** usually involved the use of Crystal Light, our 79 skill) If they survived the duration of PW (most didn't) Earth Vector was brought out to stun for more "Lol you can't hit me" time.

    When TB came out I got a psych to lvl 60 and kind of left it there just to pk at swamps. Psychs are not bad at pvp at all, even if using white voodoo the whole time you will still be able to take someone down. Black voodoo is mostly just to gank someone really fast. I am also one of the n00bs that decided to go for a hybrid vit build instead of pure mag.
