Building Psy points

Been messing around with warlock and I can't figure out how to build Psy points. From the description psychic arrow is supposed to build points correct? I didn't see any buffs I needed to have active or anything else like that so thinking it might be bugged for the moment? Just curious if anyone has had issues with this or I could just be missing something. Info/input appreciated ;)

Ok, if you look in the top left corner, underneath the health bar/ focus bar/ and the other bar (whatever it is), you will see a small ridged bar underneath all that. (Now if you don't, stop using that UI mod for a sec). If you watch closely, that bar has six slots in it, and each one fills up with a green bar as you use the psychic arrow. However, once you use one of the willpower stances, then the bar turns red and the arrows no longer add psi.

I kept looking for some sort of buff to appear on right hand side of bar like druid gets when using certain skills lol. Much appreciated ;)

Also, there are more and better skills to increase psi.
Warlock General: Psychic Arrow- 2 sec Cast - generates 1 psi
Warlock Primary: Puzzlement- 2 sec Cast - generates 2 psi
Warlock/Mage lvl 20/20 elite: Flaming Heart Strike - instant cast - generates 3 psi
only problem with Flaming Heart Strike is that it has a 65 second CD : /

And puzzlement has a 25 second cd on it if I recall correctly =/ I'm really interested to know how this will play out considering it takes 6 psi just to enter state of willpower/willpower blade. So far I've been having fun playing it, but I'm just wondering how building psy compared to spamming other skills is going to be more beneficial given the plethora of insta cast skills warlock can keep launching. I think it will make more sense when I'm in an actual boss fight, but just curious to know how its going to stack up against mage dps and is this going to be another token class, which will finally get fixed in a couple of years. Also a question to add to this is how does dark damage figure in? I notice we have a skill that increases "dark damage attributes" least I think that's what its called. I figured something like that would be capped at 50, but again I'm not exactly sure how it figures into over all damage aside from the usual magic damage.

I see a mana bar and what looks like a focus bar. The focus bar is always at 100 unless I'm using skills then it depletes depending on the skill... so it goes down, rather than building up. I can't use any of my skills that ask for PSI. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. And, no, I don't have any UI mods that I'm aware of.

its a bar right under your hp/focus/and whatever 3rd class energy bar is...the bar is broken in to sections to represent each psi point. psi arrows/puzzlement both add psi points. What I'm assuming is that the psi points don't diminsh on boss fights the same way they do on regular mobs. I noticed you lose the psi points when the target dies.

Thank you very much I will keep an eye open for that... I think the problem is that I'm 1 hitting most mobs; Therefor, the Psi points are dissappearing.

Ok, the thing with Flaming Heart strike is that the level 45/45 Wk/M elite Soul Brand Sting actually RESETS the CD on Flaming Heart Strike, so yeah, after Willpower blade is used up by spamming Sould Brand sting, you can spam psychic arrows three times, use Flaming Heart strike, and then rinse and repeat.

Personally, however, I feel that Flaming Heart Strike is going to be freaking awesome, considering it gets a 1 to 1 ratio with int.

The problem with me isn't tracking my psypoints, it's actually building them efficiently and using them in any given fight. It doesn't seem to be practically to sit there and spam psychic arrows to build the points when I could have 3 other mobs dying with my instant-cast DoTs. The construct and blade buffs are also woefully short-lived and don't seem to be worth the time spent spamming Psychic Arrows.

I mean, I've only managed to use Severed Consciousness a few times and I've found that it's an incredibly powerful ability.

Psi points are more meant for boss fight I believe. Right now, as a Warlock/mage, i have enough instant casts that i can kill just about any mob (at a reasonable level) in just one rotation. Simply put, I use Weakening Weave Curse, Perception Extraction, Warp Charge, Surge of Malice, Fireball, and Lightning, and that is normally enough to kill mobs even a couple levels higher than me. (Now consider this, my Warlock is just level 21-22, and I'm wearing level 10 gear :/)

Basically, I never worry about trying to build Psi points when fighting mobs, now when I get to boss fights, yeah, I'm going to worry about building psi points to unleash combos. On the other hand, I'm also going to be worrying about ripping aggro off my tanks, as the warlock puts out a lot of damage fast, so you have to be careful.
