    The bleed is nice... when it happens. Otherwise, I still like using it on LA classes, the damage is still good imo.

    The Veno 2spark and Psychic 2spark have more-or-less the same damage (look at Ecatomb).

    Besides, I rarely see a Veno use that skill in PvP. I actually use Red Tide.

    >.> I may be.....slightly......biased..... <.<

    But Red Tide is badass.

    Have you been leveling it? You should. Wanna know why?
    The Bleed stick gets higher, the damage gets higher, and of course, everybody wants that pretty, pretty sage where there's only a 50% chance to only cost one spark.

    Mine's only level two. Maybe I have incredible luck, but Red Tide sticks like duct tape on gorilla glue on a sweaty guy's back. (That's a Bornism for "very very often.") The % on bleed for level 2 is 56%. If I had the money, I'd level it to 10. That would be even more badassity.

    Want to kill something quick? You use Red Tide. Want to kill Assassins? Use Red Tide. Want to kill multiple Assassins? Use Red Tide some more. Is the barb not using Garrote for some reason? Use Red Tide. Do you want to drown a puppy and watch it bleed to death? You use Red Tide.

    If the guy's back is sweaty, wouldn't that mean the duct tape wouldn't stick because of the layer of sweat?

    Haven't you ever had a cotton shirt on while you were working out, and it stuck to your body, and it wouldn't come off?


    .....if you haven't, I'd say it's time someone do some hard labor....or get a girl/boyfriend.
    (That's not a knock on you not trying to insult or anything, those are just the only two ways I can think of getting that sweaty. .-.)

    Well, if you had an uber wep refined to like +12, red tide would become almost a spam skill just because the bleed is based on soulforce. I doubt anyone besides a reaaaaallly well-geared barb or bm would be able to survive a bleed based on 50k soulforce while being hit by other spam skills.

    I don't think that a bleed that does 500 a tick to an archer is fail at all.

    And when that 1 spark procs, it's even sexier.

    Something else to consider... My ultimates do a TON of damage, but thanks to their ridiculously long channeling time I usually get shot by an archer and interrupted before the spell gets a chance to cast.

    Psychics are less obvious when they cast an ultimate (no huge blue dragon swirling around you screaming, "kill me! Hey you, yeah, over here! Kill me now!"). BIDS is like a damned beacon going off that everyone needs to come out of stealth and kill your ***. At least with a psy, you can AoE stun with Earth Vector and then Red Tide to finish the group off. And the channeling is so fast, it's hard to get interrupted.

    Finally, with the blessing and good gears, you can get +60 to +70 attack level. That makes the damage even worse. My psychic is already approaching my damage output on mobs, and he's only 85.

    My Red Tide skill is lv10 and i have water mastry (i have the Red Tide sage book will learn it soon :) ) and all mag attacks seem 2 work well on light armor ppl ....but try it on a barb at your lv and gear or a bm or an archer with there plume shell and and that 1 spark skill that helps them teke less damege and gives them longer rage and c how how the bleed helps ......it dont help much they will live pass the bleed not doing much damege and heal use-ing hp food ganie etc.

    there is a hight chance that wont happen when your wizzy(not saying u have none) gets sage demon skills it will give your wizz a big bost the sage and demon gain is much bigger then the psys as for the aoe stun u got me there i no u wizzy have 1 to but it takes 2 long and its a 2 spark XD

    and most Psy's dont even use the skill that much (well at least on my server) most barb's are like what the heck was that ?.....did u just pore a bukect of water on me? o.O and the bleed is lis like very lame with a hole lot of HP ..

    That's a slightly less annoying name than all those names that people have with alternating capital and lower-case letters.

    i'd rather waste my sparks on tide spirit and use my DoTs

    seems like a waste two use to sparks for an attack that doesn't really hit all the much harder and might not even bleed

    i prefer my sage torrent then red tide b:pleased
