    we need refines for soulforce more that any other class, we a very squishy cause of black voodoo and being a AA class in general, few people know how to play a psy well or what we can do, we are not a face roll class as much as people want to say we are, oh and we get mistaken for sins form time to time

    but on the bright side a well geared psy will make anyone who even kinda of knows what we can do **** their pants

    Cons: Low Physical defense with no personal buffs to increase it. Require high refines for maximum returns on soulforce skills. Voodoo skills

    Pros: All our skills with the exception of Spirit Blast inflict a status effect which include a knockback, immobilize, and stun. We hit hard and we hit fast. No one can touch us while we're fully geared without suffering some sort of instant retaliation.

    Voodoo skills are a double edged sword. Learn to use them well along with psychic will and you'll have no complaints about your defense. A decent geared psy will have opponents cursing them in TW. If you have good judgement, good timing and the ability to change plans quickly you shouldn't have any trouble in pve and most normal mobs should even get close enough to smell you let alone harm you.

    I definitely agree with the above posts. Thus far I'm lv 42 still using a lv 29 +1 weapon and r1 gear and mobs don't really touch me too much. So far, I mostly only die if mobs spawn on me or I'm just playing around. This class is unforgiving if you make mistakes, but play it right and it's way rewarding.

    cons:Only weaknesses a psy has is that we have bad psychial defence and that we need high soulfroce for our skills wich means more money bc refines increases soulforce also we are verry squishy in black voodo we also don't have many ultimates like wizard do we only have one we also lack in pyschial skills cause we got none like every class arcane got one even wizard*blade tempest* wich deals 50 psychial damage and 50 magical fire damage we also can only use one weapon wich are called 'spheres' other arcane classes can use more weapons like magic swords patakas etc we can only use one because our skills only req a sphere no other weapon we can also have sometimes have a hard time in finding squads.
    Pros:most of the time u will kill mobs before they even reach you u will begin to notice this in mid lvl also we are feared in pvp at high level no one is stupid enough to attack u if they are not well prepared also we have a skill called 'soulburn'wich is a verry dangerous skill its not effective against mobs but for players it deffinatly is! so this skill is all about ur soulforce this skill doesn't deals magic damage or psychial damage ita actauly deals none damage it deals damage based of ur soulfroce like at lvl 50 ur soulfroce should be around 5000 so like if u cast this on a player each times he dares to attack u he will get like 1- 2k damage wich is much! cause not many players have that many hp at lvl 50 some ppl dont even have 2k hp at lvl 50 like most arcane classes but this skill isn't that effective on melee classes expect archers and sins only on arcane classes but the only downside is that it has a long channeling u know that bar that loads when you cast a skill but u can prevent this by tide spirit a lvl 59 psychic skill wich reduce channeling but i thnk u will get what i mean when you get mid high lvl also we stand verry good chanses against assasins at endgame at rank 9 you can littarly play whit them and they would kill them self because of high soulforce so yeah this was it k peace

    Don't say it like it's a con... Psychics have more to gain from refines than any other class.

    It's a con in that it costs so much to achieve those refines, especially with the economy in its current state coupled with the lame orb sales of late.

    Everyone needs refines to be effective in pvp. Psys just get more bang for their buck. It's not like a r8 psy with modest refines isn't decent vs similar geared opponents.

    I always find it funny when people say it cost more for a psychic due to refine to be good. Right.... not like that +10 wizzy didn't one shot you? Or that barb is just laughing at you? Refine serve no purpose to any class but psychic, ok understood.
