I dont which to choose to lvl i love both of them soo much. i am making a alt i might get r8+10 with 3rdcast nirvana gear or maybe a sandy world 3rdcast +7-10( but that would take a lot of time to farm, rap wise).. or the psy 3rd wep. but im thinking to staying with r8+10 with 3rdcast gear. it is much cheaper and still pretty good. which should i lvl for pvp and caster nirvana wise?

    Try psy , do everything you want


    Farm and then for really serious PVP , you can raise a wiz. Pvping with a wiz is more of a challenge than pvping with a psy

    Wiz is better for group pk but a psy is better at 1 vs 1 but also psy are squishier than wiz don't go bashing me saying that ooh we have white voodo yes indeed psy have whitevoodo or even a 8 to - 10 sec immunity to psychial damage but people at high lvl will even hit trough white voodos defence and immunity isn't forever we have **** psychial defence wich makes us one of the squishiest mage class but wiz have stone barrier wich doubles their normal psychial resistance wich helps alot also if you are looking for doing more pve than pvp go for wiz they can do zhen wich psys not can do they are great damage dealers they hit verry high not saying psy can't tough but they have more survivablity whit their dash and stone barrier skill so id say 1 vs 1 pvp = psy group pk and pve = wiz

    Ive never try'ed a wiz before but i did find a Psy to be a hard class to master. At high lvls with decent gear i love my Psy but i must admit it was a challenge . At early lvls your squishy and you have to watch out for your agro. If you do decide to be a Psy my best tip if your having problems with taking agro in groups use o'malley blessing and slow down your attacks abit.

    It's not that wizards are harder to kill than psys, endgame gear a psy is the hardest thing to kill. But as a R8+10~ character, your overall survivability will be more balanced with a wizard and it's going to be much more noob friendy, because with a psy it's all about timing and if you don't cast your skills in time, you're dead, if you do cast in time, you are immortal. Far as pve goes - psys have the highest aoe dps, it just depends what you wanna do, place zhen and go afk or smash keys 24/7.

    If you are gonna make a nirvana geared char, I'd go for wizard because there is a lot of -chann gear out there and it benefits wizards a lot more than a psy. Psys are very squishy damage dealers until end game gear, then they simply become invincible if you play them flawlessly, as in literally you need to make a mistake to die, whereas other classes for the most part can be cornered and check-mated.

    Well, in my opinion..

    Psychics are easier to gear because we don't have the restrictions some of the other casters have, which is they need/want the channeling gear. When you already have insane channeling on skills, there's no need to sacrifice an ornament that could raise your physical defense in exchange for channeling.

    I've played both wizard and psychic for nirvana, and I enjoy psychic more, even when they're equally geared. Granted, every time I've tried to make a wizard, I have to stop in the 40s/50s because the lack of channeling is discouraging and they're too squishy! But that's just me.
