	Little suggestion from Hell_Cat_Jay: I have built a psychic to ~~lvl~~ 81 now and from what I've experienced, psychics can be best described as magic barbs. Psychics have massive damage which allows them to pull ~~agrro~~ too easily for ~~thier~~ own good and without many interruptions can hold it quite well. Psychics are best suited with a vit build to keep themselves alive and allow them to tank most ~~occurances~~. The best way to build a Psychic is to keep in mind that you need 30% base vit ~~compaired~~ to your base magic. (ie. 90 magic = 30 vit) But be sure to check ahead on upcoming weapons and ~~armours~~ to know when to add str points and build that str gradually. Dex is not required of a psychic but personally i would suggest a gradual build to 20 dex MAX. Because psys have no physical attacks they need no accuracy but some evasion comes in handy against melee enemies. As a psy levels so do rival barbs with skills meant to hold ~~agrro~~, if a psy is faced with tanking they will need the extra crit percentage to hold ~~agrro~~ as well.

For a little perspective on the vit build here is my current stats on my own 81 psychic:

Without gear add-ons: Vit=89 Mag=266 Str=45 Dex=20<br/>
With gear add-ons: Vit=151 Mag=271 Str=45 Dex=20

REMEMBER check your upcomming gear frequently so you can add stats where you need them!
