    I was gonna go for Evil Ward but the description is wrong, it provides immunity to damage increasing effects(Ironwood scarab etc) for 5.5 seconds.

    Elemental weakness is also far outclassed by Extreme Poison(Wood4), this reduces elemental resistances by 20%(with a 1% increase for every 10 dex the genie has) for 10 seconds at level 10. Elemental weakness level 10 only has an unincreasable 19% reduction.

    Mage star I'm not sure about. Doesn't this look like a much better skill than Elemental Shell(lvl79 wizard skill)?

    Hate to be a nag, but Extreme Poison isn't a skill that lowers defenses. It's an amplify damage skill (like the one venomancers have). When you use it, you'll always do xx% more damage than you would without it, which is more effective than lowering defenses. (Example: Undine Strike lowers by 60%, but only increases damage to the target by about 25-30% usually)

    I tried out Mage Star, and its only real benefit is that it's kinda pretty. xD I think it could be useful at the low levels for saving yourself if you aggro too many mobs at once or just conserving money (if you forget about it using genie stamina, that is), but I didn't find much use for it in PvP. Got rid of it to experiment with other shield-type skills.

    Can't say much about the others, haven't tried them myself. ^^

    Dont repeat my mistake. Mage star SUCKS A LOT. Firstly, +50 regen is the same you can get with apoth powders, it does not stacks and it REMOVES any similar effects. That is, if you were buffed with celestial guardian's or have used life powder, activate mage star - and after it wears off you are no longer buffed. Moreover, only duration increases with skill level, and +50 regen is not really great, and (most important) it suffers battle regen reduction. Absorbs magic damage... 1000 + 10*dex, its about 1800-2000 for high-dex genie. Meh. One of most useless genie skills.

    Elemental weakness is good and working but effect is not great. Extreme poison is much better because it does not touch defences, it simply increases all damage. In pvp, all defence debuffs affect only basic, unbuffed stats, so effect is significantly lower. If you want damage amplification, go after extreme poison or frenzy.

    Evil ward... limited use. It is anti-extreme poison skill (or any similar skills like bm's dragon or veno's fox form amp debuff). Must have for cata pullers (= barbs), but not really useful for mages.

    My advice is go after skills that cannot be substituted. Healing, casting speed, immunity to this or that - all this stuff is useful, of course, but you cannot stun people with equipment or apoth powders. So, my 1st priority skill is occult ice. As for other skills, i did not decided it yet.

    Mage star CAN save you from mag attacks but look at stamina price... It can be cheaper to buy herbs and make some immunity or healing potions. As for genie skills, tree of protection is very nice. Not exactly unique, there are similar apoth powders (without +hp effect though), but still very powerful emergency heal.

    If your genie is at least 60lvl, you can get occult ice for stun, or blood clot as anti-phoenix skill, or essence penetration for fast chi regen, or aquaflame armor for extra defence. All those skills are very useful in different situations, so think and choose one that suits your style.

    mm maybe elemental weakness: Disrupts the target's elemental resistances.
    Increases the target's physical defense by 10% and reduces the target's elemental resistances by 10%.
    Also reduces the target's movement speed by 30%.
    this one plus extreme poison may be cool,,^^b:surrender

    It will not. I do not believe in defence debuffs, they are all underpowered in pvp. Even if elemental weakness stacks with similar cleric's debuff, frenzy is much better. It affects your power, so all victims caught in aoe will suffer dmg increase.

    Sorry that I made a poor choice of wording on extreme poison, but yeah that skill's knocked my offense down to 4 hits per kill(PVE).

    As for your third skill, if you want something thats quite cool pick Holy Path(Increases all Squad members speed to 15m/s for X.Xseconds) works a little like speed pots and can be helpful in long fbs.
