I gave myself a challenge, and took up the psychological class.
But it was my first time playing, and I feel kind of stupid, but I don't want to start over, so I'll ask, what are the good attributes and abilities for a psychological?

Put all your attribute points in instinct and the four main abilities you'll need is terrify, shock therapy, electrical storm, charged blood
and wraith form.

I beg to differ , Pscychological is most commonly played as described above , but it is more effective when you put Vitality and Strength into the mix . Charged blood isn't completely neccassary . I prefer psychological from better .

Whoa whoa whoa. Terrify? Free Will (just down the line from terrify) I believe to be way better when maxed out.

I've only beaten game with Psycological, and that was easy mode, but until the end when i started to want to do some damage myself, i mostly used echoed screams and let Raold and Veradox hit everyone else hard.

But now i'm on Heroic mode with Pscological and am stuck on Felicity, its not working with screams strategy or my end game strategy, which is basicaly the same as what sonny lover mentioned dump it all into instint and get yourself the electro abilities down to wraith form and hamemr like that.

But what i found is that Tenacity helps A lot if you're dumping all of your points into instinct, once maxed you have double your normal health.

the shadow build can be powerful if used correctly:

Until Zone 5, you do not want a combo build (which after rigorous testing, proved to be better than either, and you have to be level 30).

The first few zones, you MUST use electricity, as shadow does not get good till zone 4...

Get Shock Therapy, max it as ASAP. Charged Blood is also VERY important as it eventually increases your crits to the point of a 95% crit chance (if with proper gear). Plus general damage boosts... You need free will so that you don't die and:

---I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I- ALWAYS use Free Will on your first turn (or wraith form, your choice). It shields you from damage and heals over time...

Also, you will want to max tenacity and salvation as they increase health spectacularly and Veradux's healing to unheard of amounts respectively.

Don't get haunt for anything but the baron, and you will also need traumatize for him... Remember, it is good crowd control.. You stun them and reduce focus.

Gimme' a sec to bring up my profile...

This is what i did:

Point Distribution: Put it ALL in Instinct

Skills (All Maxed): Free will, Terrify, Epiphany, Psychopath Form, Nightmare, Shock Therapy, and Electrical Storm. Each is used once.

Other Skills: Overdrive

Strategy: Use Free will immediately. It shields from damage, and counteracts the effect from Overdrive. On your next turn, if you REALLY want something dead, use Epiphany. Next use Nightmare. On your next turn, to counteract the "Nightmare's Over" effect on the target, use Shock Therapy, as it dispells the effect. At this point, you can either use Dark Infusion, or let your DOT effects kill your target. If your shield is broken, or just want the extra buffer, use Terrify, as it heals you. If you need the extra damage, healing, cast Psychopath Form. It increases your healing to the point where you are healed for more than your max health per turn.

Hope this was helpful.

HV does not need to be maxed, but Shock Coma does. Otherwise yes, but check that Veradux so he won't dispel a HV with his electrobolt.

i used:

tenacity (maxed)
charged blood (maxed)
electrical storm (maxed)
electro therapy (maxed)
terify (maxed)
wraith from
and traumatize for the baron.

I was playing around with stats and found that with 1 instict : 2 health, you can have over 14000 hp and hit (+/-)2000/4000 at the mayor.

i'm now interrested in shadow form, but i can't find a focus source, except psychological form , electrical form( wil take to much time to max)and shock coma.(wich wil stun me)
