Tired of dying

At level 20, your quests are in archosaur, if you haven't been upgrading your skills along the way at the psychic trainer, take a quick trip to one and you should be able to pick up landslide if you've done your cultivation quests.

The easiest way to find more quests is open the quest log and click the find quest button at the bottom.

But yes, if you're not upgrading your gear properly, you will likely die alot as mobs would be getting stronger but the only thing getting stronger on you is attributes. Also don't undervalue potions, they serve their purposes well.

i hope ur not using a lvl 5 weapon or have lvl 1 skills or have white voodoo on while grinding

I honestly just started my psychic bout three days ago. I discovered that at lvl ten i started having the same problem. I was doing 6 into magic, 2 into vitality, and 2 into strength every two levels. I decided to alter my build a bit at that level to doing 5 magic, 4 vitality, and 1 strength every two levels until I hit level seventeen then went back to the original build. I found that it helped me out alot with survivability in the game.

One of the main things is like a wizard you rely on magic attacks. So in this case your magic stat is one of the most important. But if you focus on the magic stat that puts you in a bad situation when it comes to being attacked by multiple mobs which is always a possibility. Thats why i spent a few levels working on my vitality.

What i've found if you have the skills that work best in a macros is Aqua Impact, Spirit Blast, Landslide, Aqua Impact.. At the moment my magic skill is sitting at around 45 i believe. That's with items that mod the skill level equipped. All my armor, my weapon, necklaces and rings all effect my stat lol. I have to unequip all that each level to remember where I am at with my build.

But this is just my opinion and the method I took when i had this issue. There are other ways to solve it. Ways that are probably more efficient that the one i took. All i can do is share my method. Its up to you if you chose to try it or not.

it is normal to die a lot as new player
especially with a squishie class like psych or wizard
is this your first char? try other classes, a veno for example is a easy pie time when you manage the pet stuffs
feel free to make a character in every class
(you will see the wizard hits for the same amout of damage taking more time for each skill and dying as fast as psy)
a barbarian is most likely not to be killed easy, but... well you picked a caster.. so i guess you want action ^-^


everytime you roll again you do it faster, with less deaths, and when you think you can handle a character that dies in a few hits till high lvls, go for psych or wizard again :P

In alot of respects Hex is right. My psy is actually my 5th character. I started with a Cleric, then an archer, then a veno, then a wizard. I eventually found that I liked the archer better due to its capability. After a while, after i got the hang of doing stat builds as this is the first game i've ever played that did stat build stuff I chose to give a magic user a try again with my psy.

Have a wonderful day and Blessed Be

I got a lvl 54 Psychic and I don't die alot.
Have you lvled your Aqua Impact, Spirit Blast and Black Voodoo?
You should use Soul of Vengeance and Black Voodoo while killing mobs, though I don't think you need to lvl Soul of Vengeance, it only costs more mana.
And if you can't learn Landslide, you didn't do your cultivation or you haven't got enough spirit or coins, but make sure you learn it, it's one of the most useful skills for a Psychic.
Also make sure you got a good weapon (the best weapon you can have at lvl 20 is probably the one from Stash or from Ocean Tusker quest) and if you did all quests, you got the Quest Reward armor and that's the best armor till you can buy lvl 20+ ones at Tailor, I think.

using soul of vengeance during quests is just a mana drain unless the mob has
X*(ur average hit) + (sov damage)*(numbers of hits u cant avoid from the mob [usually 1-2]).

otherwise sov drains ur mana and doesnt really contibute to ur damage since ur last hit will kill the mob even if u didnt use sov

just aqua impact and kite, psys are easy to play at early levels.

just 2 skills you have which are OP at early levels.

Ignore the fail post above, VIT (well too much) not useful on mages.

I will show a vid for you how to play psy later

Well then here's my suggestion to the both of you...

YOU NEED DAMAGE BUILD! The psychic is a long range, therefore capable of killing enemies before getting hit. The closest you should get to taking damage with a build is by building 7 mag, 2 vit, 1str every 2 levels. This will ensure you hit hard and with a good soulsphere, it will make it so you hit just as hard as someone who has a pure mag build. The entire point of this build is simple: Kill your enemies before they touch you, but maintain enough HP and defense so that you can easily knockback any close foes so they can't hit you again. Mixing Knockback with Aqua impact, you can knock them back as they so slowly walk to you, giving you more time to crush them.

With this build I was also able to tank FB19 and BH29 at level 50. People often under-rate me with this build. At level 53 because of so many people doubting the epic power of the psychic, I was denied the right to tank Qingzi. Instead, a level 40something Barbarian was to tank it. What happened? He died within the minute. So then what do I do? I already have black voodoo on, so my attack is already enhanced at the loss of my defense, And I have Soul of Vengeance on me. So I stack on my soulforce skills, put on Empowered Vigor, ready my genie, and pull aggro off the blademaster.

There was no way I couldn't pull aggro, even if I used white voodoo at that point, so I tank. Cleric gets made that I stole aggro from the blademaster while Qingzi is about 1/4 dead, so she refuses to heal me. Not a problem. Even with my defenses diminished, I used a potion here and there, only about 2-3 potions actually, I use bubble of life, and Second wind. I have Qingzi dead with help from nobody other than the level 32 Wizzy

You want a damage build because later on you get abilities that will empower you even further, so in the meantime, you want to annihilate your foes with great ease by building onto magic.

kite? KITE? KITE AS A PSY!?

a psy never needs to kite. unless he solos a boss.

MissxCleric - Sanctuary wrote: »

I think, and that's just my opinion, that Vit on a Psy is useless and that Psy's aren't made to tank, they're DDs, so I should say you'd better just be Pure Mag if you wanna be a good DD. And also I do think SoV is a good buff, I got it lvl 1, but when a (Physical) mob only has like 200 hp left, I just let it attack me and it's dead, then I use Bubble of Life, but it's your choice whether you use SoV or attack once more to kill it.

But we can tank the hell outta magic mobs. In fact, mages make the best mobs in BH29, which, sure, only good for a while, but we can tank almost any magic mobs/bosses with a vit build. Besides, if your gear is good enough, you can do the same damage with a vit build psy as with a mag build psy...

Though for the record, I do use mag build, I'm just sayin...

Ive tanked Jewel pretty easily... and a few days ago I tanked 3-3 BH boss b:victory



forgot to say: with no cleric

let me correct myself: how about jewel at ~80 xd
no cleric for jewel or the 3-3 boss? xd

for 3-3 boss... tanked it till cleric came back and res'd the whole squad

Psychic is about fast, massive damage. You can always swap into White Voodoo if you need to stay alive for a moment.

I am, and always have been, a pure magic build - 9 mag 1str every 10 pts. I didn't die one single time, in PvE, on my psy till in my 5x levels. Make sure you keep your skills maxed and begin your attacks from max range.

If you can't kill mobs on a psy - quit and go back to Rune Scape. Seriously, it's probably the easiest class in the game to solo level through your quests.

seriously +6 refines on lvl7x?

pwicalc is bugged for some psy weapons and it considers them g0 so u can only put a shabby.
