Give Psychics SoulPaint

To be fair I seriously doubt a full squad of 2.86 apsers could effectively solo an instance without a healer even with bp on.

I am not saying a r8 +5 wiz/psy would be able too do it any more effectively, but they would definitely be able to survive better even at bosses in my opinion at least. (I really do think the return for magic classes with a 'bp' like skill would simply be too great for them especially in pvp)

You are definitely right about not expecting to really survive against a r9+12 psy/wiz, which I do not either; however, I still get one shotted in tw, even as my gear drastically improve over the years/months I have been playing. (granted their gear has improved too... it is still extremely annoying to improve my gear and still be an easy target for the ridiculously strong mage/range classes. A hp restore... bp like skill would just make it that much harder to kill a mage class, especially when we bms are such easy targets for them. (even when our gear is fairly evenly matched) )

I agree with u here, we BMs are really no mach for those casters, especially not in TW and especially twice not when there are more of them at once, but well, thats just the way it is, I just doubt that Soulpaint would make any big difference here. Stun them if you can and kill them, if they are able to attack u die anyway xD just saying^^

^this and this guy actually never heard of something called "Deaden Nerves" sins cant be 1 hit. period.

Pk is not always 1 vs 1. Sin is a great pker in 1 vs 1 situations. They cant be 1 hit but they die fast to that. Myea missed the fact that sin has Deaden Nerves, but my point was that, in PvP most melee classes get 1 hit by magic classes. If we are to compare endgame +12 gear, lawl, guys wtf is with you ? its not that easy to get +12.. or it is and i've been gone way too much.
I've seen what a r9 wiz can do in TW (run in the middle of 20 ppl, use ironguard then 1 hit every single one of them - even if he dies ).
OP gears make OP chars. If you are not happy with your class or whatever, do something and dont expect others to do it for ya, like QQing in a thread for the developers to make your class invincible. Adapt to survive.

Firstly, HARUZI! Hey.
Secondly, I agree completely. Everyone says "oh casters are 1 shot everyone OP". With sins reaching like 17k hp with +60 defence level, and base 10k fire resistance (r9 standards?), even r9 wizards don't 1 shot them like everyone says they do.

Yes they do. My veno had lunar nirvana gears, full buffed - 12 - 13k mdef - 12k HP -. A r9 Wizzy hit me for 20k. And you compare r9 like its that easy to get. May i remind you that its about 1.7k $ to get it ? then you gotta refine it and so ...

First off, your talking caster vs caster, which is different..
Secondly, Im comparing r9 vs r9 which makes it fair.
Take r8 vs r8 (+5 refines total), The arguement is still balanced.

YOUR the person comparing NV veno vs r9 wizard. Ofcourse they are going to one shot you.

Kritty,wait till after maint to move my thread to blackhol...I mean suggestions. b:thanks

(EDIT:On second thought, don't move it at all, lol. This thing's getting a lot more attention that I expected.)

Serious note. Give Psychics a buff (I'm calling it SoulPaint, bite me) that only works on casters.

Leeches 1% Mana and 1% HP per attack.

Just a thought. Flame on!

EDIT#2: Somewhere in here I said it would be only be fair to give archers access to BP, or SoulPaint, one not both.

haha i would LOVE that!! but that percentage needs to go up some

Well like I mentioned somewhere else in here, there's always the possibility of disabling its (along with BP's) effects in PvP.

As for the other, it's just part of the PvP hierarchy. Everything has its Achilles heel.

Agreed that they should/could... would definitely shake things up significantly in pvp... though I am afraid just like everything else it would effect bms the most. (barbs have their hp to fall back on, sins still have their focused mind, stealth, and damn near infinite chi, as for seekers well to be honest I haven't twed much since they came out, but they do seem like a force to avoid and that power comes from them not bp.) xD

When i think soulpaint.. the first thing i thought about was this new soulforce with all the classes.

So why not have the hp/mp either or regain, be based on that?

This would make this skill solely end game skill. Also, I propose soul leech as its name.

While balancing for PvP, one also has to take into account the PvE aspect. A R9 wizzie can hit extremely hard in PvE, a R9 psychic can hit almost the same. Those 2 classes would be able to go without HP or MP pots for pretty much any instance, because of their ability to hit like a freakin' tank.

In short, we would then see the reign of the casters...b:surrender

b:cool
This sounds good.

I mean 1 or 2 % of soulforce per hit will be brought to your hp and mp bars

And Wat IF I SAY MY PSY HAS 56000 SOULFORCE ATM ?
b:shocked

even I'm getting goose bumps

Edit: I meant the PvP side with 75% damage reduction but not SF

venos should be allowed to have bp. b:angry

As if psy's weren't OP enough? O.o

The only thing I find amusing about this is DB would become the new vortex, woot we'll no longer need seekers.

Not really. Vortex hits more often and does more dmg than DB while bp still gives back more hp. Not to mention that wizzies will only really be able to tank large pulls of mobs equal lvl with end game gear, and even then it probably wouldn't keep aggro from other zens unless it were the glitched sage version.
