Yes, but that's why it could be easy to add it with the Kalashtars... Because the race needs it.

Yes. In DDO, Psions have altered reality to appear as other classes that they have vanquished.

Yeah, they could have done Kalashtar Psion as an iconic Wizard variant, like how Paladin is different if you are Bladeforged.

Except they already shit the bed and tied wizard to gnome for some reason.

Have you ever seen a suicide?

New classes force completionists to TR and for a few weeks/months we actually have a good low-level game.

They should release a new class every 6 months.

I don't think that would be a slam-dunk.

It might well work for some people.  Not so much for others.

Enjoying the journey is great and all, but some people like to actually get to the destination and stay there.  An ever-moving-out-of-reach destination is just one you decide to not ever bother with at all.

Yuck. Sounds terrible. Let's hope they never pay any attention to this idea, since I'm sure you or someone else will bring this shit up on the motherboards.

If they actually could make a plan, they could build an end game at 30 now that the level increases have stopped.  Get 7-10 raids and 30-40 6 man quests with levels from 30-36 that provide varying degrees of challenges with the toughest raids and quests at level 36 requiring really strong builds with multiple past lives and solid gameplay to succeed.  Maybe even some gear requirements that build from the earlier level 30 quests to the level 36 ones.  Give you something to actually do and work for at cap.  A reason to stay there. 

But that would require a long term plan and then an execution that was consistent over time.  That inability to to make and stick to a plan has been their biggest failing, imo.  So much Flavor of the month in terms of quests, storylines, mechanics, systems, loot, etc.

This is most definitely true(and explains why I liked my psionist in PnP so much better than my sorc).

So maybe the answer is to re-work the mechanic a little bit? If I recall from PnP, psionists had the ability to vary how much SP they spent(E.G., spend more points, spell does more damage). I'm not saying this would be a synch to impliment, but you could do that in DDO.

They could also mix it up by changing the mechanic, make psionists spell points operate more like a monk's Ki, where you do stuff to generate it then spend it on moves. For added fun, maybe its constantly ticking down?

Going back to that "the more you spend, the more damage it does" mechanic, maybe instead its based on a percentage of how much available psi you have? E.G., this spell does extra damage if your psi bar is 90% charged up.

Again, drawing from Monks, you could make mechanics like the monk ED where you slowly power-up a super-move.

There's a lot of options.

Whether Turdbine has the wherewithall to make it happen is another question entirely. IF they do psions we are probably going to get something more like a warlock, but it's nice to at least dream.

I'd prefer Psionic be an independent enhancement tree, like Harper. Wis-based maybe.  Would save dev time.
