Curse

Basically like the mesmer, except not dealing with subverting energies to achieve their goals. They deal with brute force of the mind. Psychics are a powerful class, but at the same time the weakest and most vulnerable class. Read on to learn how this is possible

================================================== ===
[:Armor:]
================================================== ===
Psychics prefer VERY light armor, even lighter armor than the Assassin, as they believe it helps conduct they power better.

================================================== ===
[:New Conditions:]
================================================== ===
Psychic Headache -- Brought upon the psychic by the use of certain skills. As psychics use brute force of the mind, they can get a terrible headache, known as a Psychic headache. When the psychic has a psychic headache, their maximum health is reduced by -15%, which can be quite harsh to the psychic, and energy is reduced by 10(like exhaustion, only this reduces health too.)

================================================== ===
[:Weapon Use:]
================================================== ===
Psychics prefer staffs, as they believe it can also help channel their power better.

================================================== ===
[:Attributes:]
================================================== ===
*Mind Magic: -- Magic that deals with the mind. It can mess with how an enemy thinks, making them for example, temporarily think they are on your side. Or makes any enemy within your danger zone run away with fear, which can be useful if you are in a hurry.
Orb Magic: -- Psychics can conjure orbs, which when this is increased can deal a fair amount of damage.
Telekinetic magic: -- Ah yes, the traditional telekinesis. When this is increased, the more damage can be inflicted from levitating an enemy and throwing them. Also the more enemies that can be picked up at once. This can be useful when you are surrounded. (yes that happens to me a lot)
Teleportation Magic: -- When this is increased the more damage you can inflict to nearby foes if you teleport to them. It also increased the range in which you can use it. If this is increased, the further away the enemy/ally can be, which if this gets high enough, can be outside your danger zone.
Condition Magic: -- magic that can inflict conditions on enemy. When this is increased the duration of condition is increased

==================================================
[:Builds:]
==================================================
Condition Nuker -- Psy/Me, Is one to take care of enemy healers. Inflicts conditions to many enemies, making it so that enemy healers can't keep up.
{I'm not that good with coming up with builds}

==================================================
[:Extra Notes:]
==================================================
As you can see, the Psychic is a powerful class, but a very weak and vulnerable class. It is good to have a healer along to support the psychic, as it takes a while for a psychic to cast spells. And with psychic headaches, the psychic can be a tough profession to play. But when played right, attacking enemies from a distance, can be a great profession. With a handy teleportation spell, telekinesis spell, or a mind spell handy, they can get out of being surrounded and get away to a safer spot.

{I wanted to make this character as balanced as possible. I wanted to make it a powerful damage dealer, but also make it a vulnerable profession}

The * next to numbers in the skill examples signals that it changes as attribute points change for that attribute.

Please note that I suck at coming up with names. Anything can be renamed. The skills can be redone to, I'm not good at coming up with skills either.

It's a mes. Mesmers need more versatile skills, not a duplicate class with more limitations. And your skills make me cry, no offense lol. Cast time of 5-8 seconds makes a VERY weak, limited skill. Psychic Headache... I don't think I should go there. It's pretty much DPing yourself every time you use a skill.

I give props to anyone who puts timei into working up a new prof or build, but, bottom line... this is a bad variation of a mes.

Imo, people should stop trying to make concept classes and work on coming up with fresh ideas for the current ones. We aren't getting new professions in GW:EN, and I highly doubt there will be new ones in GW2 (no one knows, but it's highly unlikely). However, the current classes could definitely use some versatility - put your creative genius to work coming up with something that could be put to use in the game. I've read tons of concept classes that are very similar to current classes, but a tactic and skillset with out-of-the-box thinking. Don't bin your great ideas because people say it's not original to be a new standalone profession. Stop trying to break connections to make it un-mesmer like or un-rit like or un-ele like and go for tying it in... there's still a lot of room to broaden the horizons for all classes (and some in particular, no need to name them

).
