Psionicist questions

Ok. from what I have gained the Psionicist seems to be a CC class with damage.
Questions....
1) Do they get pets or can they charm at all?
2) Is their damage enough to solo/help out in combat or will you just be left to CC
3) is there anything more the the CC+Damage? Anything else ive missed?
Im really thinking of playing this class but am trying to get an idea of its strenghts and weaknesses. Let me know what u think.

2) There is definitely good damage, however, not so much as say, the sorcerer or the druid. For a DPS class, we do mid-range damage. With the right strategies, its very easy to solo mobs slightly higher than you are (or at least, this is the experience that I have had so far).
3) There are many CC spells, such as Time Trick (mezz), and a spell called Simulacrum. Simulacrum basically creates an illusory copy of the mob you are fighting, and gains aggro, allowing you to either solo, or keep a mob occupied while your group fights. Basically, with charm, simulcrum, and Time Trick, a PSI can keep about three mobs effectively mezzed at once.
I love playing a Psionicist (have a level 11 currently on the RP server). They have decent damage, some of the best CC, and some cool flavor spells, like illusions etc...and more practical ones like invisibility and evac.
Hope that answered some of your questions.

Thanks for the above post. I'm really interested in Psionicist cool... I just hope there aren't tons of them. It seems like a really cool, challenging, and rewarding class!

1/ as they said they get charms, the first one is of 20-30secs but is unreliable, then you get the one that last for 3min, and that one is awesome, it has a chance to break every 20secs, but I still have to see it break
2/they are primary damagers, and the damage input of the psionicist is awesome, there is a lack of AoE attacks, but when you can use cc, so your party can fight one mob at a time, there is few use to AoE
3/they have a utility spells and a buff line, but they are real good, the first comes in form of invisibility, you can give invis up to 2 people at the same time, its awesome to return back to dungeon with the healer, take your tombs, and then rezz al your party, the invis spell is as effective as hide at its maximun skill lvl, and it lets you move faster, the invis breaks if you use a spell, but thats not what it was supposed to be used for
the buff line is an energy regeneration buff, which will help a lot healers and other casters in groups, and you can also use it on yourself(along with union of minds which is a self buff that gives you energy regen too)
the psi is not the only class with cc, but its the best class when we talk of cc
in groups they role is damage dealing and cc
Can I use weapons as this class too?
As an example fully stacked DOT's added up for something like 5-6k dmg on a single target in 60 seconds
