Telekinesis

It seems to be right.

I think youd have like 17k base damage? That puts you at like 3k weapon attack. The skill should do..

17000 + 3000*1.25 + 6475 = 27.2 k earth damage

After 75% PVP reduction you get 6.8k pvp damage
A sin probably has like 4k mres? Thats 50% damage reduction.

6.8 * 0.5 = 3.4k damage ... you got 3.5k

The big issue is that it doesn't benefit from attack levels and can't crit.
The benefit is that it ignores target defense level and you can likely cast it through IG / AD / Mag Defense Charms. That could hurt a lot with triple spark.

Tested before. If you look at the skill descriptions it should deal more damage then spirit blast. (base magic attack + 100% weapon damage + 2938.5) vs (base magic attack +130% base weapon damage + 6475) for telekinesis.

Tested at regular mobs, pvp and on the 1k mob (damage test) the damage of telekinesis is a lot less then spirit blast.The attacklevels play a part, however even without voodoo on or a blessing on (so 0 attacklevels) spirit blast hits harder (15-20%)

so, can it be purified?

yes, its why ppl want sins or clerics (and pro psys b:cool) to do that part in EU because you need to purify it or die

This is a support skill, simple as that.

Trying to kill a cata barb that just turtled? Use it and your other DoTs, try and tick him/get his health down in the meantime.
Trying to group PVP and you're one of the few non-r9s there? Use it, gtfo of there and keep playing support for teammates while in white voodoo.

Maybe toss it down every so often while fighting a tanky enemy 1v1 or so, just to keep them on their feet, but yeah, I'm sorta surprised people are disappointed with the damage of it. It's not about the damage, it's about the unique ways you can utilize it.

Is it affected by any damage amp debuffs?

If so, should the target be amped when the debuff is first applied or at the moment the damage actually hits?

I suspect that it only matters when the debuff is applied, but you never know...

Weak against psys cause can be purified, but good debuff/damage on other classes.
Specially when it can cross shields.

I vote we offically change telekinesis's name to future sight, who with me??

:Agrees:
Psychic used Future Sight! Psychic foresaw an attack!

Maybe as a passive damage skill, it doesn't benefit from the 20/25% earth mastery bonus.

Edit: And our attack levels don't benefit it either. So that's potentially 2 sources of damage boost Spirit Blast gets that Telekinesis doesn't.

The one odd thing about this....

It claims to deal more damage than it actually does. From the description you'd expect slightly more damage than Spirit Blast, but damage tests produce slightly less damage than Spirit blast.

Wonder what that's all about...Description must be off or the actual skill is bugged. Maybe someone entered 130% weapon damage when they meant 30?

I realize this is a long shot, but did you forget to remove jones?

I think the skill would be much more useful if the wait was only like 6 seconds. As it is now it's longer than a charm cooldown which means you can't even combo it with the other dots to finish off barbs who like to use crutch invokes. There's diminished, but I feel empowered is more useful and much more commonly used. :<

Diminished vigor is used a lot more than emp in 1v1 with endgame gear, far as group pvp goes, things get pretty much even between the two since it depends on the situation. As for the Telekinesis thing - the wait time is actually good because you can i.e. cast it on a barb, nuke him down till his charm ticks, then go for 2nd round of nuking along with your normal DoTs and that time barb will be forced to turtle, be left on 2-5k hp as usual and the DoTs+telekinesis will help you kill him before his next charm tick. This is just theorycrafting, haven't tested it but this is pretty much the principle, you get the timing down and estimate when it's gonna be nasty for that telekinesis to hit your target.

In general it's always good to have that additional DoT to put pressure on a tanky target - ppl are just usually used to muscling their way out of every situation, completely forgetting they can do combos if needed as opposed to spamming few keys and killing everything around them - which is perfectly normal, as long as money dictates the food chain we won't really see much of elaborate play or thought put into the game from most players.

I have been hearing experiences from BMs and other classes of a certain Psy Dmg skill which goes thru AD and IG. (Not talking about Soulburn here as you cant cast it over ad or IG, or can u?)

Is this skill the telekinesis skill being discussed here? Or are there some other options?

Closed for necro.
