Genie Skill: Solid Shield

Where and when do you use it?

I'm finding I haven't used it in forever, and I am debating switching it out for earthquake for an extra cancel. At 13khp if the boss is being a pain, I'd rather invoke turtle and just hit ToP.

Genie Skills: Lit Chaser, Earthquake, Acidic Ripple of Poison

I've heard Lit Chaser, with high enough Dex, is 100% cancel. Anyone know how much dex is needed to make it 100%?

Of the three genie skills, does anyone have any good experience they can explain and knowledge bank about the three (besides whats listed on Ecatomb)?

Genie Skills: PVP

If you have a PVP genie, did you go STR or DEX, and what did you use/when/why?

(Past threads I searched for were quite unclear on this)

So far ToP restoring a ton of HP has been nice, but as a total PVP Barb noob I'd love to know if Im missing something.

Thanks folks!

    k so here's my Disciple's skills:

    ToP lvl 10
    Solid Shield lvl 10
    Alpha Male lvl 10
    True Emptiness lvl 10
    Earth Claw lvl 10

    And it pretty much rocks in PvE & PvP aswell.

    Now, abt ur first question. Dont give away ur Solid Shield for Earthquake. Maybe take both skills on ur genie..but keep Solid Shield.
    The skill is like a semi-Invoke but helps out a lot..especially when ur whole squad is dead or 1-hit at bosses like Belial...at such times, u cant just rely on Invoke till the cleric & squad is back up.

    Abt second question. Between Lightning Chaser & Earthquake, the latter is way better when it comes to cancelling. LC needs 100 Dex to for a chance to cancel aoe every time..as 1 dex = 1% chance to cancel. Not worth the points. Never used the Acidic skill so cant comment abt its effectiveness.

    Lastly abt the third question. I restated my genie to be equally effective in TWs/PvPing, & against mobs & bosses. Its a lvl 100 genie currently having 92 str, 51 vit, 5 dex, 5 mag. The energy regen is slow..but it does sum damn good dmg to mobs & also to players.
    Earth Claw deals triple dmg to ground targets in area of 12 meters BUT its a straight-line aoe. True Emptiness is a single target skill but does triple dmg to mobs or players in air

    Each of my genie's skills rely heavily on str & therefore the genie is highly effective in all ways coz of being high on str attribute. Though...others might have better points to share..and other good genie skill recommendations b:thanks

    Edit: felt like adding: Solid Shield becomes almost as good as invoke with a higher lvl genie & lasts longer based on the genie's strength..making u live longer in touch situations. Also, Earthquake works better with high str too, so stick to Earthquake..LC is worthless.

    wow solid shield is a MUST.

    u can get it way before lvl 59 ,and past 59 when u have invoke, it extremely useful when invoke is in cooldown.
    Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.
