I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so yea...and I'm sorry if there are a bunch of other wiz vs psy threads but I can't choose!

So people have been saying that these 2 classes(wiz and psy) are very different(however I don't see much difference in them...but don't take it personally, I'm new). Can y'all list the differences between these 2 classes and what they are better at compared to each other? I would also like to know what they are like at endgame. I hear that wizards are gods-on-earth at endgame, is this true? If so, than what are psychics like at endgame? So like I said, please list the differences between these 2 classes and pros and cons of each and what each are better at when compared to each other(I want all of this to be based on ENDGAME). I would also prefer that only the people that have played both wiz and psy to a decent lvl(say...70+ on both) to answer. It would still be helpful if you answered even if you don't have both classes at a decent lvl. But please, DO NOT BE A BIASED ******.

Oh and also, as you can see, I made a poll above. And if you don't have anything nice to say than **** and gtfo.

    I'm just a noob so nothing I say is reliable but I'd say the psychic is a stronger caster since it has the Black Voodoo skill which raises your attack, also there are skills that increase earth damage and probably ones that do water (the two main psychic types). I have never tried a wizard past level 1 though. I hope my input isn't a bother haha.

    Wizards also have a range of passives that boost elemental attack, e.g. Fire Mastery, Water Mastery and Earth Mastery.

    Wizards = slow casters, have to kite at lower lvls, powerful after mid lvls, lots of mana, good mana recovery buff (for grinding), very good p.def buff (for instances), heal skill (fast, single target).

    Psychics = fast casters, can 1-3 hit kill all mobs from lvl1 BUT they eat mana like crazy, their defese buff decreases their attack and their attack buff decreases their defense (this can be dangerous in some situations), heal skill (AoE, HoT, long cooldown).


    I have tested both characters up to lvl 50-60 and I like Wizard better (both pure mag AA). Wizzies are challenging at lower lvls, but they become amazing after mid lvls. I can use my def. buff and keep my normal attack power. On Psychic, I can nerf my attack power for more def and this sucks... Or I can have less def and more attack power and die in one hit if I lag. :P My Psychic has to meditate and drink pots after a few mobs. My Wizard lasts longer and has better MP recovery and a lot bigger MP pool (thanks to mana buff, +60% MP). I say Wizard is better on the long run, you just gotta be patient with it and kite a lot to survive low lvls. (: People say Wizzies suck because they give it up at low lvls. : /

    There is 2 differences between psy and wiz and it's been pointed out already.

    Pyschics are faster, and Wizards are stronger. And psychics are water and earth element and wizards are mostly fire. Otherwise, psychic skills almost mirror wizards, with a few exceptions.
