This thread is from way back when people didn't fully understand psys and know what they're capable of. Psy and wizzie are similar at first glance, but really both classes offer a completely different style of play, for example, playing a wizzie requires much more kiting than a psy. Now reading these posts the arguments seem kinda silly lol

Just pick which ever one you find to be more fun.

To be honest the kiting argument also is not true. I mean yes you can kite mobs but you hardly will kite normal mobs because you rather use FoW and slow. Moreover if you not talk about PvP kiting wont help you much to kill mobs which you wouldnt be able to kill otherwise like minibosses because the majority of them is immune to knockback so it is still fow +shrink + you need a large area to do it. I did Blackhole Devourer in OHT1 solo just for fun but it still sux because it takes you like 15min. While on the other hand a psy friend of mine is able to tank Abaddon with white voodoo and for stronger normal mobs there is landslide + a fast stun ( earth vector) for the psy.

Well, I was speaking mostly from a PvP aspect. Psys have faster control skills than wizzies and a phys immunity buff so they don't need to kite as much. Wizards are more adept for kiting mostly because of distance shrink. Psys have no inept ability to assist with movement.

↑This is was I meant in my first post by no one knowing what a psy was capable of when this thread was originally made... Buffs and debuffs that act when opponents attack don't shine very well when you kite.
