    I've pretty much come to a conclusion with these genies. They're basically a gimped way to give everyone the buffs and debuffs of other classes. They aren't meant to be as powerful, or as effective, because if they were, we'd have no reason for certain players anymore.

    I, however, love them. 4 genies, all with different affinities, and skills, makes me even more of a jack of all trades than I already was. I've got debuffs that are similar to my own Fox Debuffs, an AoE Knockback, and a handful of other skills that are making my life so much easier.

    No, they don't hit hard, and are really, really gimpy. But they're an extra boost to everyone, as long as you think, and plan really hard about just what you want the girls for. I, for one, am going to take my genie, and continue to go through FB19 Untamed AoE grinding it. Nothing quite like the joy of flipping 50 spiders/wolves away from you. I was doing it earlier without my pet. I've never had so much fun in this game.

    Im not sure why people are complaining about the stmaina. I used only 288 of my perfect stones and managed to get to 200K stamina. I still have stamina after using 2 maxed genie skills allday and prolly wont need to refill for.........a week a month or more? i mean seriously they arent hard to maintain. Purple armor drops are free. Yes you need to spend a bit of money to repair for maximum stone output when decomped but its not much. Skills are good if you READ the description and get what your charcter would benefit from. People do read still right? Are they able to read this post?

    Decomposed a level 70+ quest item, those two star armor pieces and that alone gave my genie like 40k stamina...
    Stamina is definitely not a problem.

    genies are meant as a bonus, not to make you a god of some sort

    ROFL great video! b:laugh

    I agree, genies are only one more element to round out your character,, is not meant to be a standalone weapon that allows your barb to meditate in the background while grinding b:chuckle
