Main difference between psychics and wizards?

So I made a psychic today, and so far they seem exactly the same as wizards in terms of usefulness, except doing more damage and having better buffs/debuffs.
So yeah, what is the main difference between them? And are psychics as really OP as I think they are?

Wizards hit slower but harder.
Psys hit faster but lower.
Wizards have 1 shotting moves
Psys have a bag of tricks they can use to mess people up.
Wizards have a few different ways to kill classes right.
Psys have millions of ways to kill one class yet also millions of wrong ways to kill one.
Wizards are cake
Psys are Pie.Who doesn't love pie!?0 -

honestly as I see it, psys have much more potential to get themselves in trouble but if played right will do it much less often than a wizard.
It takes more skill to play a psy well relative to a wizard, especially as far as survivability goes.
The spammable psy skills actually hit more people and harder than wizard based on skill description, but wizard gets more benefit from stats than psys do (unarmed I'm about 1.2k matk vs a wiz having 2.6k), however the wizards have more numerous and harder hitting "nuke" skills while the only real one a psy has is a 100 skill and the other pseudo nuke a psy has you have to have very high refines for it to be highly effective.
Psys are more highly reactive to what you predict the opponent will do, or what power they may have, where as a wiz is more highly reliant on evasion vs 1 target. When being attacked by 1 target a psy's more survivable while a wiz is more survivable vs multiple targets without sacrificing capability.Main:

Wizards got stronger attacks but Psy can do more damage pr. second cause of the fast channeling so they hit a lot faster.
I think Psychics are more fun and at endgame they might be as strong as wizards with a well refined weapon cause of the Black Voodoo that increase Atk lvl by 22 (+25 if its sage)[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] OH really? What a surprise.0 -
The main difference is that if you click the laughing motion on Wizards they go "ha ha."
If you click it on Psychics we go "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
Also the Angry action makes Wizards just go "Hmmm I'm kind of angry," whereas Psys go Super Saiyan.I AGOREY0 -

Wiz = slow chanel fast cast
Psy = Fast chanel slow cast
Psy have more buffs then wiz have + a aoe healing spell.
Wiz have shields that protect u + a healing spell that heal much hp.
Idk so much more, my psys is only lvl 22.0 -
In lower lvl pvp and pve I've found psy to be a lot easier to use than a wizard. But sometimes I wish psy could use distance shrink, I hate having to use holy path when I get in trouble.0

I agree, I wish I had distance shrink often.
Psychic Will is nice but yo better be absolutely sure you can kill the target before it where's of or you can be SoL.
I will often swap back to white voodoo after it expires and just wait out the cooldown until I can attack again.
This is of course against high caliber melee targets only though.Who doesn't love pie!?0 -

got a lv 100 wiz and a lv 81 psy atm, so far i noticed psy far better vs multiple targets in pvp, especially w/ white voodoo, u can jsut stand as 3 phy users ur lv wail on you and laugh, while as a wiz....if ur uncharmed 1 ur lv could kill ya unless ur shrink and sealin their ****. wiz can hit a lot harder per shot and and nice ulti spells and heal spell, psy **** phy users, but hits a lot lower per shot, really gotta make more use of your buffs and *coughsoulburncough* to kill em ...in white voodoo anyway, havent done much pvp in black voodoo yet, probably will at lv 9x when m hp gonan be near 6k ea (4.1k atm, no vit).well when ur LA psy has same wep grade and refine as ur pure AA wiz, hits as high per shot, has faster dps, and has 2x the crit %, time to retire the wiz............

psy are faster than wizards and harder > ( why ??? ) because wizards use physical attack + magical attack , by using psychic will ( a skill level 59 ) you can resist their physical attack for ( the level of the skill , mine is lvl7 = 7.1sec ) and the magical attack of a wizard at my lvl = 500 or 600 , they are nothing versus a psy after level 70 .
but in my opinion every class have it's uses , you can't make a game from 1 or 2 classes
barbarians : try to go without them in a TW , Fc , TT , etc you will be easy to die
Blademaster : very useful in TWs and their stuns + dg
clerics : a really hard class at pvp + the most useful class in pwi
wizards : have a really high damage vs all mobs
venomancer :get a herc and you can solo everything and nix is a good dd
Assassins : very fast attack rate + can go invisible and better than BMs in DD
archers : have shield to reduce attack + physical and magical attack + they are very fast
hope i helped you0 -
with a psychic you can kill fist bm's in no time flat with soulburn...idk i like it when high dps classes come to me while they're soulburned and kill themselves0

my only complaint about psy is, when you go to create a psychic the description has in it
'psychics gave up the pursuit of the elements'
yet here i am spamming the life out of elemental spells.0 -

Yeah, that bugs me too. I was hoping that we would get some non-elemental spells.
But look at it this way, our SoV, SoR, and Soulburn do physical damage, and our Red Tide has a chance to bleed, which is also physical. So I guess that's something. b:surrender[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I main a 97 Psy named /\bra. The forums don't like his name.
So I post on my Barb.
