Psionicist Top 10 Bugs & Issues

As of April 19, 2007

This is the first in a series of bug lists the Class Specialists at Ten Ton Hammer will be compiling for review by the Sigil development team. We are inviting the developers to respond to any bugs they feel are working as intended or to offer any explanation of how a bug on this list might change in the future. Suul compiled this list with the aid of other psionicists on the Ten Ton Hammer forums.

Issue: Enhanced and more exclusive control abilities
Our crowd control  isn't bad but very limited and with reaching level 40, more and more mobs are immune to charm, mezz, clone. In some areas immunities are the rule and not the exception which makes us utterly useless.

Issue: Buff timers
This is important for all classes really. 30 minute buffs need to be extended to an hour for one thing. We also need group buffs. When it comes to raiding, it will take longer to buff an entire raid than it will to kill the mobs.

Issue: Psychic Schism II and III
Offer almost no benefit over I. The damage increase is marginal at best and does not scale to decrease enemy spell damage output. Either have the reduction in enemy damage scale OR change it to a flat percentage increase to enemy spell casting time.

Issue: Damage Per Second (DPS)
Our DPS doesn't seem to scale very well in the late 30s and 40s compared to other DPS classes.

Issue: Charm
Charming does not get any more effective as you level up/skill up/gear up. This is silly. PSIs not asking for an 'I win' button, but when attributes, gear and skill are maximized, charm should be fairly reliable--not fairly unreliable.

Issue: Astral form
The current look is the same as invisibility. Please either give it a neat graphic that's different or remove the graphic completely.

Bug: Cerebral Bastion
This ability does not work at all.

Bug: Psychic Mutation
This ability is currently not working.

Bug: Lure
This ability doesn't appear to be working at all.

Issue: Mind Wipe/Memory Shift
The effectiveness of these abilities is less than stellar on both, especially when used on self.

Bonus Wish
One last thing that is being suggested a lot for our class is to make us more specialized (like the Shamans' and Monks' different forms). Suggestions have included a Crowd Control form, DPS form, and charming form.
