Psijic skills

[Jack T]

Hi,

How do you make the best use of the psijic skills? I have a high elf magden and I'm curious about them. Tough I'm not sure how to play psijic style...

[Hylie Pistof]

not sure if many players use them ^^
i tried the direct heal when summerset came out and i had a healer char. but currently i dont know anyone realy using that skill line :(
could be wrong though, i dont care much about meta builds for raids only XD

Some ppl use Accelerate for the minor force buff (increase critical damage by 10%), it's the same bonus than medusa set.

[Space is the Place]

Accelerate and Imbue weapon are the only ones you can see people using quite often, although accelerate provides a buff you can earn somewhere and it´s not easy to pull out the imbue weapon+spell orb passive without depleting your mana. But IW can rank up your damage with a fire staff (I use it with my pet sorc, you activate pet, surge, daedric prey, aoe and then to back bar to IW lightweaving with a fire staff until enemy dies, buffs end or your magicka gets low so I change to light staff for heavy attack. Not a meta player, so problably there´s better combos, but this one is cool and fun). Accelerate can come in handy on solo or simply to explore. Overall having at least one for the psijic shield passive is always nice for mags, but I hardly ever see anyone having the two.

Meditate is a cool AFK skill or a fun trolling tank XDXDXD And I´ve seen some people use Time Stop, but is quite frankly pointless.

other than that I´ve never seen anyone use the other 2.

Thats what I was afraid of... I actually used 2 and couldn't find a way to make use of the others.
In other words, they kinda screwed the psijic skills... thats too bad.

Add to that the fact that most players regard the procedure to level up the skill line as rather tedious and boring, and yeah - you end up with one of the least popular skill lines in the game.

I keep hoping that there's some clever trick to those skills that I just haven't discovered yet, but the longer it goes, the more I'm getting the feeling that this might just be wishful thinking. Looks like we're in the same boat (though you most probably spent more time looking for a solution than I did ;) ).

I only unlocked the skill line for the body art to be honest. Looks badass on my mag sorc

As others have mentioned, the channeled focus is useful for minor force but also as a speed buff for mag characters in PvP.

The mag morph of imbune weapon also hits really hard, and a lot of people use it as their spamable while parsing (but people generally don't use it in actual PvE content since it is more effected by latency)

Time stop, if used correctly, can be very potent in PvP. I've seen some well placed ones right when people go up to a door with a ram and after everyone is frozen, multiple people all drop oils at once.

Also people with troll builds in PvP love time stop since they can jump off a ledge, everyone also jumps like lemmings after them, and then the person who jumped quickly hits the ult and goes back up to where they were before they jumped.

At the end of the day, I'd say most of the abilities that are used are generally only within Cyrodil

I was about to say this as well but came late to the party.

Meditate and the heal-instead-of-attack make good RP and good idling visuals. Accelerate and Imbue is what's useful on combat. Time stop is tricky but can be applied well (it's situational). Undo looks like a panic button for newbies (and maybe give them a 2nd chance to run), and a good trolling when you are not playing seriously.

the skills look cool but they arent really worth it especially with what you have to go through to get them

i front bar the psijic ult for my bg build for the 5 percent damage reduction

[shmity72]

channeled accel is a good 'option' in pve and meditate has uses in bg too

Well, i added psijic skills for my DragonKnight Dark Elf who use heavy armour and flame staff. At my 2nd bar i put Healer stuffs. I really love that line, but for me there are some skills which isn't useful.

In battle and dungeons the Time Stop the best choice bc you can freeze many enemies.
Freeze the passage of time at the target location, gradually reducing the Movement Speed of enemies in the area during the channel before finally stunning them in place for 3 seconds when the channel completes. You can Morph it to Borrowed Time or Freeze Time.

The Meditate is really good if you want to heal yourself. I made screenshot how it looks: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2777577420
Focus your body and mind into a meditative state, healing for 1500 Health and restoring 1500 Magicka and Stamina every 1 second. You will remain in a meditative state until you toggle this ability off or are interrupted.


And last but not least the way you do your missions externally you also get gifts. You get face and body print and costume as well. I use the first two, it looks like this:
