How to beat a psi?

[citizenkane_]

Psis aren't actually that hard to kill, even good ones.

Psis have incredible CC, and, while they have you locked-down, do high DPS to you. The tricks is to survive until you get the opportunity to do a massive assault / combo.

The trick is to save your charge for when they're vulnerable. Wait for them to twin, and for the twin to die. Wait for them to TK-pull you. Wait for them to pulse you. Wait for their Ecto-form to fade. Once those four things have happened, charge in, and kill them in 3-5 hits.

If you can survive to get that opportunity, you'll win. Using your warden beer in die-hard also helps a lot, as it basically grants you a 2nd HP bar.

the thing about pvp is that it relies heavily on gear and a bit on runes..

a psi with equal gear and runes can destroy warriors with a good rotation. However, I have not encountered many good psi. If you manage to even get a combo in but fail to kill, chances are you will die afterwards. It's a good idea to spam aimed shot when you're waiting for the opportunity to strike, or if you're being kited.

Prance is an incredible psi, and he outgears me. I dueled him last week and we went about 50/50.

So no, psis aren't impossible

There is no golden rotation you can use. L2P.

you obviously haven't fought a good psi.. lol
I don't blame you, like I said there arn't many good PSI out there.
By good, i do not mean geared and runed. I'm talking about pure pvp skill.. many people do not seem to have the ability to seperate skill vs gear/runes. Also, I did not mean to say that the rotation will guarantee your way to victory. There are other things that you must do during your rotation.. like kiting for example. Now a psi that starts off with mental twin isn't going to do very well.. a psi that starts off with TK pull and pulse will do much better.

As for kane, i did not say they were impossible. I said the good PSI can be extremely hard to kill and the outcome can be different each time. Most of the time, if you cannot kill the PSI in one combo, or even two.. you're screwed. Warriors only have a few chances versus a psi before they lose the duel. Sometimes you won't even be able to touch the PSI and that's most likely due to them interrupting your charge. Warriors rely a lot on charge and whether or not you land your charges will determine most of your battles.

I do not know how good prance is.. sure he's good because he's insanely geared and he has decent runes, but I do not know about his actual skills. I'm not saying he doesn't have any so don't get me wrong. However, I do know that you have level 10 runes.. which makes a difference in your duels. He doesn't even out gear you that much (by gear difference, i'm talking about a2 mythics to a3 mythics, a2 legends vs a3 legends, etc).



Also, arena duels are bull. The arena is way too small for classes like PSIs and Scouts. These classes rely on kiting.. and they cannot kite effectively in such a small arena.

No. I haven't fought a good psio. But I still have experience with the class in some weird way.

pukknub = one of the best psis in AstralRiders

[jiahao08]

well then.. telling me to learn how to play is a bit unreasonable then don't you think? Having "some" experience in a class does not mean you know everything about it. All i've experienced was fighting psis that were bad, and psis that are good.

Prance is the best psi on Nezeb server.

And the strategy I posted works really well for a warrior vs. a psi.

pretty biased IMO. We do not know who the "best" psi is when it comes to skill.

We'll never know.
