Psychic New to the Game
GodArchangel - Lost City
Posts: 3 Arc User
Hello everyone. I am new to PWI and after extensive research on every class including the latest addition Earthguard race, I decided to go for a psychic. Now, before anything, let me tell you what I do know about this class before you start giving advice.
-Psychics are less wanted for 90+ parties (FC, TT) I do not know with accuracy, but anyhow psychics don't seem to have trouble getting into them. We are a DD nuking class thanks to some of our skills.
-Psychics are for people with a lot of brains. They are not for people who expect to level and faceroll killing everyone (yes, I've heard of them sins lol) I do not like easy classes, I like advanced classes where you actually have to think a lot, have a variety of strategies and can actually have fun in pvp/pk with a lot of thinking.
-Psychics rely endgame a lot on cash shopping or massive $$ due to refines giving us a good boost to our soulforce.
-Hence, Psychics are not recommended for newbies. b:shocked
If I am wrong in any of these points please correct me. I would roll as a sin get 5 aps, but that is way too easy and there are waaaay too many assassins (Keep in mind I am a passionate hardcore Pvper/Pker, but I like to think and plan the things, I don't like easy pvp without tactic). Psychics are not that abundant, in fact, they are not in high numbers, I like that. I also like the fact that we can adapt to many situations, we have a lot of mass control aoes, and we have skills such as soulburn to faceroll 5 aps. I like the Mystic's style, you know pets + skills + plants, sounds like it could use some brains too. Yet I don't like being dependent on pets, and well I feel more secured with a Psy keeping all my buffs up just in case a sin pops out of nowhere and drops a sparked headhunt or 5 aps on me. (Yes I know Cragglord does a lot of dmg, but that is likely to change at endgame with endgame gear)
So I am going for a full mag build, it is the most common and I would rather deal with my targets quick than extending the battles. I think I am liking the Demon skills for crits, but that's something I'll decide laaater. So, I am looking for any experienced pvp Psychic that can tell me how they deal with other classes. I've heard Clerics and Mystics might be hard due to healing abilities. With Sins it mostly depends on who strikes first, I guess. With Mystics I don't see that much of a threat, yes they heal quickly, pets are not a threat endgame(I saw a pvp fight Mystic vs Psychic, yes Cragglord included, it was a looong fight but the Psy won even though he was kind of a noobie because of the way he used his skills, or maybe the Mystic was just plain pro lol). Well these are only my assumptions from extensive reading in the forums. So enlighten me. Thanks!b:thanks
EDIT: Also, I thought about each server since player transference is not doable in this game. I already said that I am a passionate Pvper, so it was either Harshlands or Lost City. I picked LC for two reasons; 1. I get better ping; 2. Lost City is the oldest PvP server, so there may be more ppl, more drama, more tw, more pk, etc. (according to the majority of players)
