Assassin (Previous Build: demon 5APS)
Psychic (Sage)

Full R9 will be semi end game build (refine +7, No JOSD, Shards will be garnet/citrine)
then farm/merc for end game (+12, JOSD)

    @Shevanel

    Yep full R9

    the 5APS was the current build of my sin (demon). so im factoring of changing culti to sage would be a pain in the as.s. because all the necessary skills are demon already.

    psychics are fun to play and harder to kill in some cases. At end game I'd go with the Psychic with the R9 if I were you given the choice.

    I know you marked what you can specifically get or will work for, but this is just a general answer to anyone.

    The answer depends heavily on how high you can refine each. If you can't +10 everything the sin, if you can +10 everything the psy. Also depends on the type of shards you can get, but not as much as the refines. The other part is what do you already have? If you have a 101 sin and 101 psy with the sin already being 5.0 with +10 something then maybe you would prefer a psy for TW / PK? It really depends on the purpose of the toon. If you don't have a sin already maybe go with that so you can use it for farming? Lots of questions to ask yourself that we can never provide and answer for.

    this

    for me the sin will have an easier time with farming and 1v1 PvP, but since I'm a TW person would go with psychics

    sins, despite being the classic overpowered class, tend to have more difficulty in TW cuz, lacking AoE attacks, they live in stealth and kill things one by one

    R9 psychics with their soulforce b:shocked ugh

    or you could make a R9 sin and farm gear for a psychic

    I dont really understand why people buy their farming chars R9 weapons that cost over 1 bil coins.

    It's way too much to drop into a char that isn't even your main. It's completely impractical. Unless you are filthy rich and just want to do it for ****s and giggles...

    As for the OP's decision, a psychic will get you far more respect as it is seen as an OP char that does require skill far beyond what an assassin requires.

    Also, assassin PK is boring as ****. No one wants to be involved in it and no one wants to watch it, except people who play sins to PK(<.>).

    If you do plan to invest such high refines, then the psychic will also be the better choice, as much of their power comes from soulforce which is directly associated with refines.

    If you can merch, you wont need a farming char, but if you cant and decide to farm on sin, dont drop 1b+ for the R9 weapon alone sans refines, just so it can farm for a psychic. A G13 dagger should be well enough for a farming sin alt.

    not to mention the need to use a iron guard to kill one target in TW due to bramble which works in TW.... after that wears off anything that is not purged pretty much has bramble on it and = you receiving 60-70% of what you dish out back at you + others attacking you.

    What are these issues you speak of? I have never met a player that could make me damage myself except for psy, and that's usually bypassed by using AD while I attempt to 3 shot them to oblivion with demon spark plumeshot spam.

    Ah, The joys of being a Cleric...

    Considering I have 2 shields and a few heals that can keep me from dying from simple magic damage, I don't see using AD offensively as a problem. In fact that make clerics more versatile then everyone else.

    Oh wow just had a though, Cleric soul burn on a psy vs psy soulburn on a Cleric. Who would win? lol.
