Genie question: inc. movement speed

Flauschkatze - Heavens Tear

I'm planning on finally take care of genie - I want to use it for escaping dangerous situations. Wind force already saved me a few times, so I want to have a skill that increases running speed on the ground.

I have to choose between
Holy Path - max. movement speed (squad)
Tai Chi - inc. movement speed +HP recovery (it says all in range, so mobs get the buff too?)
Relentless courage - inc. movement speed, att. rate, channeling (self)

I had a taste holy path from other people's genies already, man, it's fast...

I would like to know if Tai Chi is fast enough to run away too, and if it also buffs the mobs around you or only friendly targets. what about the HP recovery? since I'm arcane I can't take many hits, does it recover anough hp so I can take 1 more?

relentless courage... it's only for me, so I'd leave my mates behind when I'm in a squad^^; but the +ch... how much is it?

I might learn 2 of the skills... can you answer my questions, what do you recommend? - thx in advance^^

If you have an archer buff and then use Tai Chi you should clock in around 10 m/s for 15 seconds, it stacks (last I used it it did.). But for a good fast get away I use Holy path. It's saved my **** but I look like a cat thats just jumped up and took off cuz PK'ers come outta know where and I just zoom zoom. 140 energy on a genie is enough for 2 burst (with like a 2-3 second wait before the next one.)

I know I can have 4 skills

I want to use wind force, tree of protection and at least one of the +movement skills.

maybe I'm going to teach it earthquake too, but first I need to know about the skills I asked for :]

usually there's no archer buff on me... >.> holy path seems to be better for running, but hp recovery is nice too... especially when you're poisoned... can't decide >.<

I'm wondering if relentless courage could help spam healing my pet, that's the only interesting thing about it for me.

Lmao over the vid, even if I don't know what it has to do with my topic XD
thx for the responses so far

Holy path to run away, then metabolic boost since you're a veno (or soul transfusion since you can use it while running).

Well, I've experienced Holy path from my squad members and friends before and I want to teach my genie that, but for some reason, I can't teach her even though I've met the Element and lvl requirements. She is a lvl 30 Infliction who I've already tough Tree of Protection, can anyone please help?

EDIT: I think I've just found the problem, she doesn't have enough skill slots for Holy Path, already has 3 skills

Only problems could be, Not enough: Spirits, Affinity, or Level. Check how much Spirits you have.

Personally I have holy path and it comes in handy for avoiding some mobs. I used it to get away from a couple mobs in nightscream, but it takes up 400 stamina, so load those chi stones up and put them right in. :P

dont get relentless courage for the speed.
I have it on my genie, but i only use it for the Attkspeed + Movespeed when i go foxform.

Holy path is the way.

The problem with Relentless Courage is that its energy cost increases as you level it. At level 1 it's 65 energy, at level 10 it's 145 energy. So the improvement to the attack speed buff from leveling it is negated by the energy increase (you can't use it as often).

The channeling buff can be duplicated with apothecary powders. I hear the powders and genie skill stack, but the only time I can really see it be useful to stack them is if you're trying to tame rare pets. And in that case the time it takes to activate both probably negates any speed benefit you get from stacking them.

That leaves just the run speed component, and Holy Path does that better. Holy Path stays at 75 energy and 400 stamina all the way to level 10. So not only is it faster, you can use it more frequently. It is more expensive though.

I would take a good hard look at the stamina cost of Wind Force. IIRC, for level 1 aerogear, the level 1 stones gave 1 sec of accelerated speed per stone. Those stones give a genie 40 stamina. Wind Force costs 150 stamina. So if you used the stones for one use on your aerogear instead of your genie, you'd get 3.75 sec of accelerated speed, vs. 4.5 sec for Wind Force. IMHO that's not enough difference to warrant using up a genie skill slot. Maybe if you had multiple genies it'd be OK.

you could get to lvl 89, go hell, and learn dark fox change ^^

Flauschkatze - Heavens Tear

XD nah IF I get to lvl 89 one day I'll go sage^^

hm looks like holy path will be the skill I'm going to use...
I still wonder if anyone has a genie with tai chi?

do the normal acceleration and the genie skill stack? I have lots of deciple genies lying around, I might use their chi for finishing wq fast^^

thanks a lot for the replies!
