Psychics: How to level (Without killing yourself!)

Hey guys, Born_Free from the Harshland Sever here. Gonna talk about Psychic leveling for a bit.

How to level: Psychics (Without killing yourself!)

First things first, depending on what route you take as far as your stats, this could vary a little. It honestly all depends on where you allocate your points. Personally, I favor a high Vitality (in case you need to tank) and then high Magic as well (obviously). It doesn't hurt to get your dexterity up to at least 30, because sometimes those critical hits can come in handy. Psychics are great damage dealers. With our AoE's and status buffs, we're a nasty team when paired up with other magic casting classes. If you decide to tank build, you're a great help to fellow tanks in that you can not only heal yourself, but your sqaud, AND you can change your pysical defense and attack with the Voodoo spells. With the spark pair up, no matter what build you choose, expect NUKE damage, even if you're a low level.

Level 1-10

It's a good idea to start working on your quests and grinding in noobish areas when you first start out. It's bet to finish EVERY SINGLE QUEST you can possibly find, because later on you'll find that finding quests is difficult because of slow leveling. Work on getting used to the long ranged damage, and make good use of the skills you have. Aqua Impact is ALWAYS a useful tool for slowing down your enemies to get in another couple of shots. Make good use of this skill, and level it up for later use. Also try to level up Spirit Blast.

AS SOON AS YOU LEARN THE VOODO SKILLS AND SOUL OF VENGENCE, use it as often as you can, and level it up frequently. These three are going to be your staples (along with Aqua Impact and Spirit Blast) for a while. ALWAYS remember to cast Soul of Vengence on yourself, even when you're facing an opponent who uses magic. Sometimes, the damage won't get reflected, but when you pair the damage from Black Voodoo up with Soul of Vengence and the Magic attack level you'll have (if you choose that build,) you'll easily rid yourself of any opposition.

Level 10-20

Landslide is your best friend. It makes sure that, paired up with the effect of Aqua Impact, your enemies take longer to get to you. HOWEVER, don't rely on this skill too much! It doesn't work in the world of PvP to come, so when you're getting creamed out on the field and wondering why the Barb. on your behind isn't being flung into the nearest wall, you know why. Torrent is another useful ability in that you can easily stack damage on higher bosses (like Qingzi!)If you pair it up with other classes AoE's you're sure to make a good contribution to any team. I don't reccomend leveling anything but the previously mentioned skills as well as Landslide. Torrent isn't a skill you'll use often. I don't reccommend trying to solo anything. Continue to complete your quests as needed, and grind often. HERE IS ALSO ABOUT THE TIME YOU SHOULD START DOING APOTHICARY.

Think about it: Free potions. Yes, it's time consuming. Yes, the materials are scattered around (Use the guide on the wiki!) and it's a pain to get them. BUT IT IS WORTH IT. As soon as you learn to make Jade Powders, your problems are pretty much over. You gain 3000 MP, which by this level is far more than you need. With the addition of pots that mobs will drop, you're sure to do fine as well as supplies go. Try not to consume too much though...it's a good idea to save pots for grinding and bosses that you may or may not encounter on the way.

Level 20-30

Here is where your best skill comes in. Bubble of Life is absolutely vital to your repitoire. KEEP IT CONSTANTLY LEVELED! Not only can this save you from multiple attacks from mobs, but it heals anybody nearby you in the squad. You're pretty much a substitude Cleric if you can time it correctly. DO keep in mind though, this skill take a crack at your Mana. Take care that, in an emergency, you have enough magic to cast a spell like Landslide to get rid of any nearby enemies. Aqua Cannon and Sand Trap, although learned later on during this period, are also useful skills. Sand Trap, like Torrent, should mostly be saved for bosses, since it deals constant earth damage.
