    There are times when I wonder if the GMs even give a **** about the balance in this game.

    Well.... Maybe, Maybe someday you will realize that the balance depends not on the GMs will.

    Are these genie skills active abilities or passive abilities?
    Do genies start off with a base affinity / skills or do genies all start the same?
    What level is this new content targeted at? (the last expansion added content at 70+)
    Is it possible to maximize all affinities for a genie (such as normal skills) or are affinity points limited by level (such as stats)?
    Is it possible to reset affinity levels?
    What is the maximum number of genies you can have? How easy is it to swap between genies? (I'm assuming this is similar to pets)

    You mention "equipment slots". What kind of equipment will go in these slot? What are the effects of the equipment on the genie.

    Going to ignore someone's opinion because you have hate for the class they play? No anger towards GM's here from me, I'm well aware you're not responsible for any of these things, and I'm going to hold my tongue until more details are released.

    The class they play is over powered and is given unfair advantages.

    Yes, I'm going to ignore a venomancer when they call it pathetic to want their overpowered class to be balanced. Surprise.

    There was a post (once) in a phoenix-related thread to say some vague thing like "its going to be looked into" and never commented on it again.

    Lo and behold! Proof of what I posted yesterday in another topic. The pvp players start it all with their ****. More proof of their lack of intelligence.b:laugh

    Venos overpowered huh? I play every single class and have all of them to a decent level. I see nothing overpowered about anyone.

    On topic here, this looks like it may be interesting to play around with once its added here. The rest of my questions have already been asked so I'll sit back and wait for now.

    lol...typical boohoo. nothing against balance here, but your arrogance is astounding. look at this little attitude you've developed. I have some news for you to take to heart, a person is a person, they will defend a class they care about, just as you will hate anything that kills you too much. As soon as they solve this whole veno bleed thing, you'll be boohooing that archers annihilate you every ten minutes.

    Nevermind. Zoe said it all. It's overall the people on the PvP servers, more specifically Lost City, that keep QQ'ing. Poor thing. Life's unfair.

    If it's arrogant to place less value on the opinion of someone who came from the server with less pvp and the class which dominates PVP anyway and is going to lose that power if this update goes well- you bet im one arrogant sonofa...

    That's even better! The REASON you QQ is because suddenly, a class that used to be easy for you to kill ended up being able to kill you back!

    You know, I don't agree with Flesh Ream. Phoenixes don't come with Flesh Ream and the people who teach their Phoenix it obviously KNOW about the bug. Why don't you hate them instead of the entire class?

    i dono why your all complaining about veno's being overpowered. its not hard to stop and think of a strategy to fight them. ill admit that the hercule is a beast, and i cant even beat it me vs herc. so since charging in head on doesnt work, why dont you people stop complaining and make a strategy. not everything is easy.

    for any spellcasters or archers this one has worked for me so far. FLY! herc cant get you know can it? switch to a flying pet? hope you killed the veno by now lol (and the phoenix bleed is very stoppable for archers, use your wings of grace when it comes to attack you, you resist the attack, no problem.) stop complaining!

    also this genie system sounds interesting =D would be nice to have access to more buffs

    lol. the genius re-run? please child, go boohoo some more. I have news for you, bleed or no bleed, venomancers are still going to get you. and so is every other class from time to time...except maybe barbarians. and when your precious cries about bleed are no longer valid and you still keep dying because maybe you just aren't that good to begin with...then what will you do? become even more hostile and even more arrogant, and demand that everyone lay down their lives so you can feel better about yourself? oh god the gigglefits.

    This argument is at least 50% slippery slope. Pro.

    I would've rather just had the bleed fixed if it was between that or implementing stupid pets which can make a player immune to bleed entirely

    THAT'S unfair. and THAT will upset the balance with venomancers vs other classes in pvp

    unless the buff lasts like 10 seconds and the cooldown is like 3 minutes

    Primarily active abilities, but that does not rule out the possibility passive abilities.
    Do genies start off with a base affinity / skills or do genies all start the same?

    Currently as it stands, all Genies start with the same base affinities. This could change however as the system gets closer to launch.
    What level is this new content targeted at? (the last expansion added content at 70+)

    As you can see from the example skills, the Genies will be available to characters of all levels, low and high alike.
    Is it possible to maximize all affinities for a genie (such as normal skills) or are affinity points limited by level (such as stats)?

    Affinity points are limited according to your Genie's level. More information regarding the Affinity System will be released soon.
    Is it possible to reset affinity levels?

    This will be possible, more details regarding the process for resetting affinities will be released at a later date.
    What is the maximum number of genies you can have? How easy is it to swap between genies? (I'm assuming this is similar to pets)

    More information regarding the logistics and management of Genies will be revealed in the near future.
    You mention "equipment slots". What kind of equipment will go in these slot? What are the effects of the equipment on the genie.

    I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but more information will be released soon. ;)
