BEst genie skills to compliment a mage

Ty - Heavens Tear

I have to agree with Haiz about Frenzy. I like it a lot.

The best thing about it and all genie skills for that matter is that casting is independent of player channeling. So like Haiz said activate the skill the instant before channeling is complete, unless you're coupling it with Extreme poison in which case you use poison half a sec before you need to use frenzy (if you look at the genie skill timer you'll see why). Funny thing is this seems to cause some display errors for me as the impact animations are centred around the caster and the target.

The question I now have is what to use for my 3rd and 4th skill...

when does a wizard get owned?

1.When hes stunned
2.Ganked (2 is enough)
3.nixed

an anti stun skill is a must (if ur not a pot user)
bloodclot or healing is a must, or just run away from the nix with holy path, which can be used as an alternative kiting skill to distance shrink.

question is, if u go with longetivity,is the initial skill worth it? seeing that there are other skills out there that can have a similar impact/effect on the target, such as extreme poison. is it usefull to get two debuff/amp skills on ur genie? or one or the other wld suffice? is undine strike better with extreme poison or eruption fist? so many questions that hopefully will be answered after all the bugs are fixed including the skills with their proper discriptions and durations.

Well I'd get aquaflame armor, its dmg reduce is amazing.

It says 40% dmg reduce for 10 secs and afterwards u get 40% more.
I've it at lvl 10 and i could tank a Blade Tempest crit of a 90 wiz even though i had undine + extreme poison on me, it only dmged me for 2k. And even when u get stunned and attacked by 2-3 people its useful because archers rlly do a hell of a less damage^^

after u've used it u should either kill ur opponent rapidly or escape till u can use it again/the 40%+ dmg taken is gone. That skill saved my **** alot of times^^

In addition to Frenzy/Poison I am leaning towards 2 defensive skills, or 1 defensive and 1 multi-purpose skill like the speed buff. You need 130 energy to cast poison/frenzy which is easily achieved without spending too many attr points (40 points in Vit I believe). More than 2 offensive type skills seems a waste to me as its pretty hard to have enough energy to cast 3 skills in a row.

First I'm going to do a bit of thinking on which genie is the best long-run. From what I've read it seems that the starting bonus attr can be raised higher before the 2 for 1 penalty on stat allocation kicks in when going above 40 points. I started with the Infliction genie (nascent for Str), as str is related to damage and I doubt I'll be using any genie skills for damage I'll probably switch to the Dex genie (longevity) as Dex appears to have the best modifier on the skills I'm interested in.

has anyone tried sand shield yet? i was wondering why pwi has made this skill up...

Still no one uses cloud eruption?


My genie skills will be thus once my genie dings 80:

Extreme Poison
Frenzy
Holy Path
Cloud Eruption

Cloud eruption always gives 1 spark. Period. If you pump str, it gives 1.5 like mine does.

I can enter any battle with full chi if I just take 2 minutes out after a death. I self buff and fly out, and by then I'm ready to pop CE and go again.

Might be that u dun need Cloud Eruption as heaven mage...
But being a hell mage, i gotta say it is the best genie skill there ever is!
1 spark for free every ~1min?

In TW, im not using ANY spark pots and i always have enuff to cast ultis (even 3-spark ulti ever so often),
in pve, i used 5 pots in last 3-3HH the whole run, rest was spark only.

Nuff said to that skill. Get it. b:victory

Honestly, even Sages could benefit from CE, cause you can never have enough chi.

but yeah, for demons it's pretty much a formula for ****.

Cloud eruption is garbage for a heaven wizard, much better off using genie energy for amping/surviving.

Not important honestly, this topic is so relevant daily that (imho) we should have something resembling a guide stickied here.

Also, this is (well, will be in a week) my genie:

Extreme Poison - +20% damage boost
Frenzy - +20 attack level, the closest most mages will ever get to understanding the power of a warsoul weapon
Holy Path - Run away ftw b:surrender
Cauterize - Mages should have no reason to complain about flesh-ream bug
Bramble Rage - **** HA toons in close proximity (catapult wb be dead >:3)
Leaf Dance - permanent +2% crit buff

Affinities needed: 18
Metal - 5
Water - 1
Earth - 6
Wood - 6
Fire - 0

Snow_Flake - Raging Tide

Should mage get the :

Lawbreaker

Energy 75
Stamina 500
Instant
Cooldown 30 seconds

22% (level 1) chance to remove a silence effect from yourself.

Strength: Every 2 Genie Strength points increase the success rate by 1%.

It takes Metal 3, Earth 4.
Just in case that psychics will have their Soul of Silence on for 10 minutes.
Worth it or not? b:surrender

Edit : Skill duration is 10 minutes

Lol you're so easy to kill..


And no, silence effects aren't worth removing with genie skills, as you can freely move and holy path around meaning you're not going to die anyway, especially to a psy.

Inabikari - Raging Tide

So bramble rage is worth getting?

Kristoph - Lost City

No bramble rage fails, you'd be much better increasing your own damage with extreme poison than waste all your genie energy on a crappy skill that only works on the ground and requires stupid affinities.
