Well befor I ask my questions I want you to knwo that Im enjoying PVE alot but am intereasted in PVP. I now have a nix but will be waiting till I have leveled it to my current level befor I start PVP. As being a PVE'r Im pure Magic as well

My questions:

*What skills should I put on my genie for a veno that mostly PVEs and that might end up PVPing as well?

*Being a pure MAG veno and not realy wanting to go LA (I want the extra pet healing ability for my herc with bosses and dungeons) could I survive in PVP with fox form? (That is using 3* armour that has extra phys.res to it and garnet shards,which I use anyway)

*If so whats the best fox form skills to max? (I havent realy learnt many of them but have alot of Spirit to spend)

*In PVP is it acceptable to use skills like bramble guard/hood?

*Also in PVP acceptable to use things like life powders or would it be considered potting? (which I know its frowned apon and considered cheating)

Also any other PVP tips for venos or in general would be appreciated ^^

Thanks

    In duels, anything other than your own skills are frowned upon if you use them. It's really about skill in that regard and not how much you can spend on items. Use bramble guard/hood all you want.

    In pk, anything goes really. Use any item you have to live, which makes it not mean much because its not about skill but about how rich you are or how fast you can run away.

    I use arcane armor with phy def neck and belt, in foxform I'm very, very hard to kill

    Fox skills to use are leech, to regain hp, purge, to remove their buffs when you fight someone, amplify damage, to make them take more damage from your hits.

    for your genie skills Tree of Protection is a must, its like having a 2nd HP charm, a life saver in PVE and PVP

    the other skill i would recomend is fortify to stop BMs stun locking you, and perhaps occult ice to stop someone running/kiteing you

    Tree of Protection is more useful for classes with larger health pool, like barb. Holy Path is the life saver. When things turn south, run away.b:victory

    I prefer to get in their faces and beat them down with my paws if I must in foxform rather than run. It works quite well for me being arcane. :p

    If I want to kill you, you'll have to kill me because I won't stop until one of us goes down.

    I forgot to mention, befuddling mist for foxform. Makes the melee classes miss all the time.

    My TW genie is 10 Cauterize 10 Badge of Courage 10 Tree of Protection 10 Holy path...

    not sure if that helps, as you're asking about PvP not TW, but this genie has saving my **** many times.

    Edit: In PK anything goes, and yeah look at Zoe's post for fox skills to use, although I'm light and I'm not too sure how good fox form is being arcane (you probably miss a lot, having low accuracy).
    HT clerics at their finest:

    hari: can you do mdef debuffs? makes the fight go faster
    naughty_x: waste, I do more damage without them
    hari: ...you do more damage in 2 seconds than reducing mdef by 35% for 4 casters does in 20 seconds?
    naughty_x: is waste, i do more damage

    hari: 3-3 BH goes a lot faster with a sin
    naughty_x: no, only a difference of like 3 minutes
    hari: ...we've been in here a lot longer than 3 minutes already
    naughty_x: your opinion
