1.Introduction


===================General Introduction===================

This guide is written for the Official PWInternational servers. Max level cap is 105. The whole guide

is for the Psychic class, so if you are reading this and not interested in the Psychic class, you might

as well stop reading right here. This guide basically helps you with these things-

1.How to play the Psychic class

2.How to improve beyond the "average Psychic"

3.Tricks and secrets to beating others

4.F.A.Q on PvP and "how do I do this"

====================A few words first===================

This Guide was originally write with intention to pass around among Infamy members (my faction)

in Raging Tide Server. Some name will not make any sense to other servers so just ignore it.

===================What is a Psychic?===================

Psychic is the uberly underused and underrated class on PW due to a class called "Assassin". I

made this guide for you people to hold your ground against them, and all other classes. Psychic

have a limited range of skills mostly connected to the water and earth element. If you love fast

channeling, stun hex and paralyze your opponent, Psychic is your best friend.

======================Equipment for levelling===================

Don't try too hard for good equipment until level 90+ with the exception of ☆Mystique Boots of

Spirit Eater and 1x ☆Demon's Heart Ring. Why? Because it is the best stuff from that lvl up till

95+, which is quite a long time not to mention ☆☆☆Emerald Meteor from The Goshiki Quest

Chain or The Attendance Ring can last you forever. From 1-> 70, just grab whatever from

quests and *** from Auction House with Def and HP mod. Don't forget rank I-> IV is fairly easy to

obtain and the rank equips aren't half bad either.

4.Stats


===========================The basic stats=======================

First of all, what the stats do - some people seem to have no idea...

MAG - Magic: Affect your Magic Attack, Elemental Resistance, maximum MP and MP regeneration.

Also allow access to lastest arcane armors + spheres equipments

STR - Strength: Affect your Physical Attack, Physical Defence and access to armors

DEX - Dexterity: Affect your evasion and accuracy, required to wear Light Armor and Heavy Armor.

In addition, every 20 DEX give 1% Critical Hit bonus.

VIT - Vitality: (1 VIT = 10 HP) Affect your maximum HP, HP regeneration. In addition, every VIT

give bonus to Physical Defence and Elemental Resistance. This may not seem too great for

someone with low HP like Psychic, but remember for every VIT you add, the higher chance you will

survive critical moment.

========================Advanced Stats/Formulas====================

Here are the more advanced stats and formulas for those who interested in game mechanics.

Magic Attack

CODE

( 1 + ( MAG / 100 ) ) * ( LVL + EQP )

Physical defence (PDef), Elemental resistance (ERes) and Damage Reduction

CODE

PDef’s value = EQP's Bonuses * ( ( ( STR + 0.7 * VIT ) / 850 ) + 1 )

ERes’s value = EQP's Bonuses * ( ( ( MAG + 0.7 * VIT ) / 850 ) + 1 )

Damage Reduction % = 100 * PDef OR ERes’s value / ( PDef OR ERes’s value ] +

40 * Attacker’s LVL )



Critical Hit (CRIT) and Rage Damage: A crit is an attack that does more damage than a normal

attack. This damage is given as the rage damage multiple in your char sheet and is 200% for all

classes but Assassins who have a skill to get 230% rage damage. Your chance to crit is given in

your character sheet and come from equipment, crit buffs, the rainbow blessing buff, and Dex.

CODE

Chance to CRIT = 1 + (DEX / 20) [rounded down] + CRIT from equipment + CRIT

from buffs

CRIT Damage = Rage Damage * Damage Inflicted

Evasion (EVA) and Accuracy (ACC) Most physical attacks can be evaded in which case they do

0 damage. Magic attacks never miss.

CODE

EVA's factor = 1000 * Target EVA / attacker ACC

chance of EVA = EVA's factor / (40 * attacker level + EVA's factor)

Attack Level and Defense Level To put it simply, it increase your damage on your opponent and

decrease the damage intake. But there are many version out in forum and yet no real reply from

Game Developers. What I believe is Attack level have increasing returns while Defence level have

Diminishing returns.

CODE

Damage Delivered * 1.01^Atk lvl

Damage Received * 0.99^Def lvl

Detection Level = your level. Detection Pot made from Raging Tide Officer or 1k Stream Officer

give you a bonus of 30 detection level for 30s (either the pot description is wrong or the detection

lvl show in character screen is broken). Help you detect any Assassin with stealth lvl lower than

your detection lvl.

Soulforce Special stat only useful for Psychic, effect most of your “soul-“ skills, affected by mostly

your base lvl and refine from your weapon.

CODE

lvl(50+lvl)+refine from equip

REFINE FROM EQUIP BONUS

REFINE LVL ARMOR WEAPON

1 0 1

2 1 7

3 4 23

4 10 60

5 25 150

6 58 345

7 111 667

8 213 1275

9 400 2400

10 743 4455

11 1374 7242

12 2535 15210

Equipment’s grade does not affect soulforce

=========================Common Misconceptions===================

I don't need to explain what this section is about.

The CRIT Arrow’s Myth

Elite Wolven Fang Arrow doesn’t affect your actual critical rate. I have this on anyway for

confidence purpose, just don’t count this in when you brag about your CRIT rate xDD

The Elemental Shard’s Myth

Elemental Shards (Alabaster, Aquamarine, Ruby, Amethyst, Topaz) and Elemental damage

pots doesn’t apply on magical attack. Don’t shard them on your weapon/make/use those

pots.

=============================Builds============================

Psychic doesn’t have skill give bonus to PDef like Wizard’s Stone Barrier, nor does it have a skill to

help them escape (Wizard’s Distant Shrink, Cleric’s Chromatic Seal). Playing Psychic, one must

always focus on survival and take your time over spam spells and rushing to kill the opponent. If

you want to 1 hit people, roll a Wizard. Genie and Pots help a ton in surival in combat.

[Armor Types]

Armors are among the most heavily debated subjects when it comes to choosing the best type for

each class. Although magic robes are the most obvious path for casters, light / heavy armor has

shown some benefits in wizards and veno as well. But is it really an option for a Psychic?

The most notable benefits of these alternative armor builds undoubtedly lie in their higher physical

defense, which might let you survive a bit longer in instance where boss have high AoE physical

and PvP against physical characters like archers, BM, Assassin and Barb. Since they can also

switch to arcane armor whenever necessary, they can perfectly adjust to any situation requiring

the one or the other type of defense. Now for the bad news, most people are completely unaware

of the actual damage loss you will suffer after sacrificing so many of your precious MAG stats for

STR and DEX to be able to equip these armors in the first place.

Light Armor Light Armor would cover exactly that low Physical Defense problem. While

still having a nice Elemental Resistance, this would seem like the ideal all-round armor. It

is beneficial for early and mid gameplay as for the low cost to gear up. The difference in

damage won’t be noticeable at first, but the later the game, the stats you put into STR and

DEX as Light Armor Build will become more and more burden as the base magic attack you

gain from MAG increases at an ever growing rate. In the other hand, the slightly higher

critical rate unfortunately doesn’t make up much of the huge MAG loss, so you’d still be

stuck with a mere 75% average of your potential damage. While psychic don’t have high

damage per skill like Wizard, none of your defences is high enough to efficiently protect

your equally low HP; not to mention almost all monsters past 60 are magic ranged based

that we train on as well, where robe will give you that afforded protection. so this

alternative option too is doomed to fail.

STR= DEX= Your lvl +4, rest to MAG

Pure MAG Arcane Armor The idea of this build is to maximize your damage to the fullest

extent and competing with Wizard in firepower. Your low physical defense and HP will be a

problem here, because unlike the wizards or cleric, the psychic’s protective skills don’t

allow you to survive easily on a purely offensive build unless you spend a bunch on

refining gears and get top grade ornaments. What’s more, by having a -10 def lvl while in

Black Voodoo, chance are you getting buttrape while trying to kill your opponent if being

careless. Although it is not advisable to follow this build, the choice is yours if you can

afford ~3k2 PDef and ~5k HP unbuffed from equipment.

1 STR 9 MAG every 2 lvl

Pure/Hybrid VIT Arcane Armor That leave us with last option, how about increasing

your VIT and shards your equipment with Garnet shards? Protecting you from both

physical and magic attacks at the same time, this is clearly the best defensive build for all

purpose player be it PvP or TT/FC/RB. Like Light Armor builds, VIT builds can only reach

85%~90% of their damage potential with less Critical Hit chance. Although it give you a

bit more sweat while killing your opponent, you are a tad harder to kill if know how to

utilise all your skills effectively in PvP. Does that mean you can’t kill your opponent? Few

people thinks that with a low damage per skill like Psychic, Vit build will make it impossible

to defeat your opponent before their charm tick. I say take a look at your skills list and

think over again; Diminished vigor and Tide spirit aren’t there just for show. However,

balancing between your VIT base and your MAG is the key, don't get too obsessed with the

HP gain, the benefit from Diminished Vigor and Tide Spirit won't be able make up for

excessive MAG lost

At least 1 STR 6~7 MAG every 2 lvl, VIT may be cap at 50~60

So MUST HAVE STATS THEN -

Your final destination (99+):

STR - 54 Be a noob if you want to wear any other armor than Arcane, not my problem

DEX – 3 Unless you are some build which needs CRIT

VIT - YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 4K HP UNBUFFED NO MATTER WHAT OK?

MAG – The rest

PDef Unbuffed: ~3k - 3k2+

I doubt any of you are even reading up to this point, meh if by chance someone is reading this bit,

well done, maybe you should think about your stats and change it.

First of all, I’d like to say I’m not going to mention my own builds. This is a guide not copy

HYPNOS. So therefore you will have to make your own builds. Here are a few tips -

Don’t rely on CRIT to hit, though the extra CRIT from equipment are nice, sacrificing your

stats for some DEX to increase your CRIT is simply stupid.

Don’t rely on One skill to kill opponent (imply Soulburn), every skill has its weakness.

Spamming the same skill will provoke people into calling you "Noob"

Fight using your skill rather than relying on your equipments. (Imply GonjaQueen)

Try and cover up as many weaknesses as you can with apoths and genie


5. Gearing Up


Items are listed in descending orders from top to bottom in Price.

=============================Weapons=========================

Reduced: 71% of original size [ 1123 x 500 ] - Click to view full image

Stick with weapon from Token quests is a good choice, both for its cost effectiveness, usefulness

and effort; however sooner or later you will have to farm TT for your TT90+ weapons if you can't

afford the Lunar weapon ☆Banished Curse or the TT100 (which is the best and also most

expensive IMO) ☆☆Roaring Flame . The questions is what to choose?

Although the -channeling doesn't appeal much to me as a psy, the bonus for damage from TT99

Gold ☆Barrier Sphere: Soulbringer is totally badass compare to its cost (total chips cost is 4m8).

What more? you have a choice to upgrade it to nirvana. Not a bad choice.

The +attack lvl may be appealing but the truth is it doesn't grant much of damage bonus. As

stated in Advance formulas section, attack level raise the lvl of attacker and bypass

opponent %damage reduction, 2 attack level won't be enough to pass through 1% damage

reduction unless heavily stack with other gears. For detail formula, read the Advance Formulas

above in section 4.

http://img341.imageshack.us/i/spheres.jpg/





Other than those mention above, the +1% CRIT is nice and the +VIT is not half bad either,

depends on your preference

Not worth mentioning: ☆Resonance of Stars , ☆Acoustic Soullotus: Spiritual

=============================

Shards for weapons

=============================

Not much to say here BUT USE SAPPHIRE SHARDS

Don't PM me asking WHY? The answer is simple, if you use any other shards, then you sacrifice

damage. Some shards may be used in EXTREME situations –

Elemental Shards, Citrine shards, Turquoise shards - Use those if you are brain-dead

Stone of the Savant- -3% Channeling - Use this if you are retarded.

Primeval Stone - +1% Critical Hit Rate - Use this against LuciferV, it will give you a 1%

chance of killing him. Its better than no chance right?

Shards I can't be bothered to mention – Diamond of Tiger, flashy shards aren't what you

need to win. The humiliation is there when you lie dead.

===========================Equipments=======================

[Helm]

At early lvl, it’s maybe tempting to add some extra STR to wear HP Helmet, but that can’t apply at

later lvl. Stick with Arcane Headgear, the bonus hp from refine the lastest worth more than the

base hp bonus AND refine hp bonus from the HP Helmet several lvl below you. Bonus stats to

consider: HP/Pdef Modifiers, HP Shards

☆☆Nether• Impossibility Hat Nirvana of TT90 Gold helm - Use this only for the set bonus, else ignore.

☆Ence's Scar – Helm of Holy Punishment [40 Best Luck/Anniversary Pack/Lucky Coral]

☆Warsoul of Heaven - Championship Scroll [Tournament DISABLED/Lucky Coral/Year of the Tiger Pack]

☆Ghostly Hat of Infinite Power – TT90 Gold helm

☆Hat of the Drum Master – TT80 Green helm

http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=31b160a091f014be

[Robe]

Tough choice for non cashopper, but anything with HP and DEF bonuses other than the Tauren’ s

Cape and TT90 Gold Cape. Bonus stats to consider: HP/Pdef Modifiers, HP Shards

☆☆Demon Spell Robe – Nirvana of TT90 Gold Robe - Use this only for the set bonus, else ignore.

☆Wings of Cloudcharger – Anniversary Pack/Lucky Coral/Year of the Tiger Pack

☆Glorious Robe: Torment – Wing Trophy [Anniversary Pack/Lucky Coral/Year of the Tiger Pack]

☆Cape of Elite Leather – FB99 Abaddon [Mountain’ s Finger Boss]

[Ornaments]

Since your choice of rings is pretty obvious, I will just concentrate on the magical and physical

defense enhancing kind of ornaments here. Their benefits are strongly dependent on which armor

you’re wearing, and for which purpose you intend to use it for.

Please note that the defenses are percentage based, so the higher your defense is, the less

damage reduction you will receive when equipping additional ornaments of that type. The

diminishing returns start when your Physical Defence/Elemental Resistance value reach ~5000

Protection Ornaments: Overall, this is the better choice for robe users, as only very little additional

defense is required to get a huge increase of damage reduction. The bad thing is that cheap

physical defense type ornaments usually comes coupled with STR/DEX bonus stats, which isn't the

ideal choice for a Psychic in the later levels. Bonus stats to consider: HP/Pdef Modifiers

Necklace:

☆☆☆Yin – Pan Gu's Gift

☆☆Puzzle Cube Badge• Vain – Cube of Fate Stamp

☆Necklace of Giant Strength – TT90 gold

☆Sky Demon's Pearl – 37 Chips Mold

☆Necklace of Assembled Spirits – TT70 Gold

Belt:

☆☆Warsoul of Naught – Tournament Agent (currently DISABLED)

☆☆Warsong Barrier• Void – Warsong Marshal Badge

☆Guard of Thundershock – 4th pass OHT reward

☆☆☆Requiem of Hell – 3rd pass OHT reward

☆☆☆Frostcore Pendant – 2nd pass OHT reward

☆☆☆Sundown Pendant – 1st pass OHT reward

Elemental ornaments: If you already have high magical defense, more of this jewelry will probably

give you no more than a 1% or 2% higher damage reduction. The reason why some players still

prefer it over the physical defense ornaments is because it often has higher values of MAG as

bonus stats, which can prove very useful in grinding. Recommend only for LA Build. Bonus stats to

consider: HP/MAG/MAtk Modifiers

Necklace:

☆☆☆Yang – Pan Gu’s Gift

☆☆Puzzle Cube Badge• Vain – Cube of Fate Stamp

☆Archangel's Pendant – TT99 Gold

☆Swindler's Necklace – TT90 Gold

☆Equine Talisman – 29 Chips Mold

Belt:

☆☆Warsoul of Naught – Tournament Agent (currently DISABLED)

☆☆Warsong Lock• Void – Warsong Marshal Badge

☆Paradise Sachet – 4th pass reward

☆☆☆Jade of Heaven – 3rd pass reward

☆☆☆Vibrating Starlight – 2nd pass reward

☆☆☆Nightfall Pendant – 1st pass reward

If you can't decide, you can also buy 1 of each type and switch them as necessary, if your cash

agrees with it.

[Bonus Stats on equipments]

Bonus stats, not stars though *** give the highest base stats, are the most important factor to

consider when buying equipment. First of all, if you don't plan on switching equip on every second

mob, make sure that no piece of armor lacks any of the basic elemental defences. The more

elements are missing, the higher the remaining elemental defences will be, but you'd have a hard

time fighting against mobs of these specific elements since your overall defence would be much

lower.

The options of bonus stats are:

For higher endurance:

+ HP or VIT: Probably the most common bonus stat. Since you can get a very high amount

of HP from it, most players consider it as their main choice for improving their survivability.

+ Physical Defence: You can get a fair amount of it to profit from the huge damage

reduction until the Percentages become inefficient compared to VIT.

+ Elemental Resistance: Not what you should look for. HP/VIT is much more valuable.

For higher damage:

+ MAG: Quite rare, and comes in very low values compared to HP/VIT. Mostly + 4 or + 5

MAG is the highest you can find, while HP goes easily over 80 at a cheaper price. If

stacked, the difference can be even higher. But if you're looking for even more damage

instead of HP on equip, + MAG is your best option in the lower levels.

+ Magic Attack: Mostly comes in rather low amounts compared to MAG. To find out which

one gives more base magic attack, refer to my formulas in the Questions and Answers

section.

- % Channeling: Very rare, will increase your damage per second by a small amount, but

overly expensive for what it's worth. Only when stacked at 24% or above can you tell the

difference while using Bubble of Life and Soulburn.

+% Critical Rate: Very rare and expensive; rises in effectiveness over the levels as your

damage output increases. Its efficiency compared to + MAG strongly depends on how

much an attack is based on magic attack instead of a fixed value. For example:

To outdamage 1% critical rate on average:

As Pure MAG at level 50 (wearing average 3 star equipment), your equipment will

need at least + 6 MAG when using Spirit Blast level 10.

As Pure MAG at level 80 (wearing Mold lvl80 Sphere + average 3 star equipment),

your equipment will need at least + 10 MAG when using Sandburst Blast level 10.

Seeing that +1% critical is much easier to get than +10 MAG, +% Critical Rate as bonus

stat actually proves to be more effective than + MAG in the higher levels.

Others:

+ MP recovery: You'll be burning through your MP way too fast to notice the recovery.

+ HP recovery: Comes in too small amounts to be useful.

+ STR / DEX: No need for additional STR/DEX over the minimum requirement for armor.

+ MP: No use in adding even more MP

+% Experience: The available +% of Experience are too low to make any real difference

while grinding, not to mention the release of Hyper Stone -chuckle-

+ Evasion Rate: Due to high accuracy of your enemies, + Evasion Rate barely has any

effect.

+ Accuracy: Magic attacks never miss, no need for any accuracy at all.

=============================

Shards for equipments

=============================

This part is for shards on armour. Should I list every single shard to prevent NOOB questions

asking about shards not mentioned? HMM... if there are shards unmentioned it means they suck

ok?

-Stone of the Savant, Primeval Stone: A more expensive verion of Citrine Gems. Exotic, while it

increases both your HP and a your PDef, the cost for 1 is high.

-Garnets: Increase your survival chance at later level (~80+). It is recommendeded to shard some

Garnets on your gears along with Citrines Shards by ratio 3:1. The amount of shards however

depends on your PDef Value, when it reach ~5000, use other alternative.

-Citrines: Pretty steady at all level.

-Diamond of Dragon/Jade of Steady Defence: Hard choice, and it’s a myth as to the exact equation

but it is impossible to completely nullify damage receive according to the formulas in Advance

stats section. I don’t dare give comment on this.


6. Psychic gameplays- Tips for PvP/TW


Note for psychic skills:

Soul of Vengeance, Soul of Silence, Empowered Vigor cannot be purge at this time, not sure if it's

a bug or intended

Same thing for Diminished vigor and Soulburn, it cannot be purify

PvP tactic

Rush Burst Knowing how to play Rush Burst style is important for a Magical DDer in High Level

PvP. To summarize, “rushing” an opponent means playing as aggressively as possible burning your

cooldowns to drop an opponent as soon as possible while “burst” refers to the technique of doing a

high amount of damage in a short period of time via high damage spells. Having an advantage in

channelling, this style help dropping the target quick but also put your life on the line. Though it is

not advisable in solo PvP, it is highly rated in group PvP while the target focuses on your

teammates. Start by DoTs and Diminished Vigor and coupled with light poke skills till near 50%,

DoTs again then rush damage. Best Burst come from Frenzy (or Extreme Poison) Triple Spark Red

Tide -> Aqua Cannon/Sandburst.

Kiting While kiting in PvE is easy with Aqua Impact and Landslide for knockback, Kiting for psychic

in PvP is difficult and most prefer to stall their enemy over kiting them. That doesn't mean it's

impossible. With Holy Path from Genie, Glacial Shards and Earth Vector, Barbarian have hardtime

pursuing you. Also don't forget to put on Soul of Retaliation if they are closed (Mighty Swing?)

unless they using normal attack to break Soul of Retaliation (pfft I doubt any of you half-wits can

get your thoughts that far before you faint due to lack of IQ); use Soul of Stunning if that's the

case. Against BM, if you got stunned right off the bat, spam the Soul of Stunning button and pray

for the Soul of Silence to occur and they don't chain stun well. If you get chain stunned, well,

better luck next time.

Stalling A simple tactic but crucial for Psychic. Put on White Voodoo, Use DoTs and spam some

skills on them, use Bubble of Life, Soul of Retaliation from times to times and don't forget to eat

food and always have Empowered Vigor on. Good way to safely gain back your chi while slowly

killing your opponent charm. Of course you need a solid amount of HP to pull this off those GX

axes at 90+.

Soul of Stunning vs Soul of Retaliation: While Soul of Stunning is pretty handy because you don’t

need to think much while using it other than spam the button, Soul of Retaliation on the other

hand is situational. The obvious: use it’s when you need to absorb damage to save you from death

and when your opponent is an Assassin. The less obvious: asking you to use your brain rather

than roll your face on the keyboard is probably quite…hard but there are skills that you should aim

to reflect:

Wizard Undine Strike

Archer Aim Low and Stunning Arrow

Barbarian Mighty Swing

Phoenix Flesh Ream

Soulburn and Tide Spirit combo: Soulburn is a good skill and deal some nasty damage if use right.

The problem is the obviously slow and showy channelling shout out for “stun me before you die”.

The catch? Use it with Tide Spirit and follow by Aqua Canon/nuke and Bubble of Life. There are

also situation that you don’t need Tide Spirit which is a DEMON SPARKING FIST BM. Psychic Will if

they choose to attack you, otherwise Rush Burst to death while they passively stand there wait for

the effect wearing off.

General PvP guide:

Step 1. Lead with a "poke" skill. (Aqua Impact, Spirit Blast) Find out how much HP that BM

has and just how hard you'll have to hit it. If you somehow tap Spirit Blast and their HP

drops 85%, laugh.

Step 2. Try to get their HP as close to 50% as possible but not below. Below ticks their

guardian charm and they will heal to full. Stalling or Kiting

Step 3. Diminished Vigor -> Soul of Stunning -> Rush Burst

Step 4. Judge (if they're still alive). If their HP is too high for you to take down even with

diminished vigor, use slower strong skills like Aqua Canon and keep trying. Make sure your

party is helping and spam Soul of Stunning to stun anyone attacking you. If they are

taking to the skies and running, use Earth Vector if you have a spark, otherwise Glacial

Shards and pray.

Territory War

Equipped with 3 AoEs doesn't require spark, Psychic in TW is a force to reckon with especially

when 2/5 of their AoEs are crowd control skills. Keywords: Crowd Control

Cata supporter should cast Soul of Silence and Empowered Vigor on cata barb due to it cannot be

purge by veno, it's the best thing a cata barb can wish for (don’t cast Soul of Vengeance on them).

Use earth vector, glacial shard for crowd control on anyone approaching the cata and hold em

away from barb, disturb soul on opponent wizard to slow their casting. Use soulburn on cata

cleric/atking archer/Demonic Sparked BM only to save spark for earth vector and psychic will.

Cata killer (vs Barbarians) you hit some decent damage on them because they have pretty crappy

MRes. The problem? They have too much HP for you to solo, and combined with a guardian charm

they're next to impossible to take down for a psychic low damage per skill. The catch? You don't

solo. Your job is not to go out and be a wizard wannabe. Your job is to hex and slow your

opponent advancing and pray that your squad is smart enough to attack the same person.

Now that you built all your Chi by killing people, what do you do with it? Do not, I repeat do NOT

waste it on Advanced Spark Eruption (Demonic Spark Eruption is fine). It's slow, its flashy, and it

gets you killed. Use it on...

Earth Vector AoE with 85% stun and Medium damage, though not much but this is a good

crowd control skill along with Glacial Shard

Tide Spirit This is your 2 sparks Sutra. Use it with Bubble of Life, Soulburn and Aqua

Cannon combo

Staying Alive:

1. Always play with a Clerics buffs. BM and Barbarian don't always seem to want to buff

you, but there are always plenty of Clerics to annoy to ask for buffs.

2. Don't forget to put on Soul of Silence and Soul of Vengeance, also Psychic Will to

remove negative debuff + immune to physical damage

3. If you are getting hit excessively, you are probably too close to the action. Pause and

Holy Path backward.

4. Soul of Stunning is your friend. Spam it! Use it when your HP is running low and your

charm is in cooldown. Use it when you see an archer channeling Arrow Barrage. This skill

stun your enemy immediately after the first hit land, and interrupts their attack. Soul of

Retaliation on the other hand work well only if you kinda guess which skill your opponent

gonna cast and reflect the negative effect back to them (can only reflect effect from skill that

deal damage). ie: Undine Strike, Mighty Swing, Aim Low, and most of Assassin's skills.

5. If a Veno's pet is hitting you, knock it back with Landslide, if it's a nix, use Soul of

Retaliation to reflect bleed on them or, if you lready got bleed, Psychic Will and throw a

Soulburn on them. It should be dead in 1...0.

6. Stay alert. Remember TW is 3D. The enemy is not always directly in front. Stay off the

main path, and move along the banks of the path. Watch for attackers in the air (Usually

Venos with flying pets).

=================

A few more notes on Psychic

=================

In PvP can I just say DO NOT FIXATE ON USING BLACK VOODOO AS MAIN OFFENSE. Use your

brain, this is why Psychic IS harder to play. I'll leave the rest for you guys to figure out.

There is no strongest class, if you play on a Psychic, Gratz on choosing a unique class.

8.Final Destination: Heaven or Hell


This boils down to personal preference and play style. When looking at the skill bonuses, you will

immediately notice the huge difference between the two options, so make sure to evaluate them

properly before deciding which of them suits you best. While Demon grant a HUGE burst in

damage, Sage psychic is no pushover either.

If you like to Rush Burst and become a wizard wannabe then die in glory, Demon

is the way to go. With Demon Landslide and Demon Tide Spirit, you will CRIT most of the

time not to mention your extra DoT from the heavy nuke Demon Aqua Cannon; without a

doubt he who roll Demon will be feared even by barb. Demon Psychic is also a master of

crowd control; with 75% chance to AoE paralyze and a larger AoE Earth Vector, he is the

ace card in PvP group and TW. The disadvantage? your most effective range is 8m, which

is also the red zone for an Arcane Armor user with low pdef and HP, your Stall is also less

effective then Sage (don't worry, not less than how you used to before you choose demon).

Sage is not without advantage. If you like to Stall, take your time and harass your

opponent in PvP, Sage is the choice but that's not all. It enhance the $ spend in the game

(Soulforce), If you spend a fortune on your Psychic Sage will be superior to Demon in term

of Soulforce base skills. A 10 sec Soulburn is a scary weapon, the competent stay till and

let you hit them for 10s, the incompetent roll their face on the keyboard and die while the

10s psychic will (or 71 def lvl white voodoo) give you a good time laugh. Superior even to

barb for their toughness, Sage Psychic is magical truck which can kill you whenever they

wish to. The disadvantage? Surprisingly, Sage is quite balancing, your effective range is

not limited and the lack of Rush Burst power comparing to Demon is not a really bad

problems since Sage Diminished Vigor and Sage Black Voodoo make up for it. What more?

you are loved in group activity where it required an AoE Purify.

10. Bonus: Genie and Apoths


Expel Metal 5 - Water 6

Lvl10/ Genie lvl97

Range 20 meters

Energy 125

Stamina 275

Instant

Cooldown 1 second

Requisite Class All

Expels a ally from the physical world.

Silences the target but grants

immunity to physical damage for 9.0 seconds.

For non-hostile units.

Silence, or "Seal", prevents the player from using any skill or initiating any form of

player attacks (genie skill still works), but it doesn't stop the current skill thats in

progress. For example, if you tried to expel another cleric that's casting tempest before

they finish channeling, it won't stop the tempest from finishing and hitting you, but it will

prevent them from doing the next attack until silence is over.

Keep in mind, any seal that interrupts your channeling is a result of an additional

attribute from a skill, for example, the wizard skill "Force of Will"; I'm sure most people

here experienced being sealed by a wizard, the skill description reads:

Launches an invisible explosion at the target, interrupting

its current channelling, silencing it, and making it unable

to attack for <#> seconds.

The seal itself doesn't interrupt.

While sealed, you can still do these things:

Move, fly, use all genie skills, use consumable items (pots/apothecary items, etc)

Non-hostile units. Any players that are not in duel with you or TW.

In open pk (which means all but duels and tw) you can use it on other players. So you

basically have a seal without drawback, since you don't do physical damage.

*NOTE : This has been fix with the newest patch so you most likely unable to seal the

opponent if they switch on protection.

All that being said, you can still do these things as a combo with Expel:

Channeling purify while expelling yourself, as long as you expel yourself after

you've started to channel purify, but before you have completely finished

channeling it, you will expel yourself in mid-purify but you will have the purify

effect remove your seal as soon as purify finishes. This essentially copies Psychic

Will. If you're in communication with a friendly cleric, you can also ask them to

purify you.

*NOTE : Sage Buble of Life have purify effect

If you're an avid apothecary like me (and a non-cleric), you can make

Soulcleasing Orbs (20 Worm Sprouts + 15 Fleece-flower Root, Lv4 Apothecary

skill); after you have used expel, use one of these, it will remove the seal effect

while still having the immune to physical damage buff. You can also use the

Soulcleasing orb as a countermeasure against Expel, or any type of seals. A great

example is the veno 2 spark skill, which silence + paralyzes you, Soul cleasing

orbs removes *both*. A very good surprise trick for the unsuspecting : ). Just

keep in mind apothecary items shares a 2 minute cool down.

Also keep in mind Expel is not a movement debuff, so any skill/item that prevents

movement debuffs will not affect Expel.

Fortify Wood 5

Lvl10/ Genie lvl66

Energy 82

Stamina 600

Instant

Cooldown 30 seconds

Requisite Class All

Become immune to stuns for 5 seconds.

50% chance to reduce your magic resistances.

Dexterity: Every 30 Genie Dexterity points increases the duration by 1 second.

Badge of Courage Metal 4 - Fire 3

Lvl10/ Genie lvl75

Energy 75

Stamina 500

Instant

Cooldown 30 seconds

Requisite Class All

Conducts the power of the Metal element.

?% chance to remove a stun effect from yourself.

Dexterity: Every 2 Genie Dexterity points increases the success rate by 1%.

Stun This is one of the areas where Blademasters stand out from the rest. Axe and

hammer Blademasters stand out even more because of their unique additional stun skill

(Drake bash). A stun lock means always keeping your opponent stunned and finish off

the opponent without them being able to land a single hit. It prevents the player from

using any skill or initiating any form of player attacks (genie skill still works) including

stop/interupting the current skill thats in progress.

While stunned, you can only use genie skills

All that being said, you can still do these things with either of the above skills:

Break Stunlock, obvious

Use Ironguard Powder (25 Devil Wood + 20 Longen Herb): after you have used

Fortify, use one of these, or use Badge of Courage to break the stun. It will give

you 12 sec immune to damage while you can freely go on frenzy mode, rush

burst opponent to the ground. Those apoth can only be obtained from Officer of

the Streams once your faction own Thousand Streams or drop from bosses

around PWI map. For details, look it up in pwdatabase
