Hello there !
I actually never really skilled my Genie because I just don't know if there is something important i should look for.
Should i follow any special Affinity as a Psy? Or is there some skil that I really need?

There are so many skills and ways to go that im just confused.

Hope someone can help me a bit b:thanks

    As a psy I'm having a hard time picking skills. So far the only skill I have is 2nd wind because I'm pure mag and I need all the health I can get. I'm thinking about extreme poison and holy path as my next two.

    As for afinity well it all depends on the skill. 2nd wind for example is 1 water, 1 earth, and 1 wood.

    second windb:dirty

    holy path is nice too
    right now i have a zeal so i keep the earthflame but i dont really use it
    i also got alpha male for tanking bosses in bh59 but i just got it because i had a spare slot

    in my previous genie i had earthquake and another DD skill, barely used them after 40-50


    well, get second wind :D
    i also consider tree of protection once my genie has enough stamina (?or it's energy?) to cast it with second wind

    second wind /holly path /expel /cloud eruption /extrem poison /elemental weakness
    (maybe kind of hard to get coz of the 8 wood afinity point that won t help to get other good skills)

    I tried frenzy too, beside it increase atk lvl i almost don t see the difference and my psy is lvl 80 atm

    Expel can be great against melee attacker while your psychic will is in cool down, it s like 17 second immun to physical dmg with 8 second where u can attack, and i don t count the genie dex bonus time.

    Cloud eruption will help you to always have enough chi for your 59 skills

    ...it doesn't work in tw, I know, but decent skill in pvp, if not best.

    If it work in TW? imagine every1 have wiz skill Force of Will. A bm run up to you and got silenced, a sin break out of stealth and got silenced, a cleric healing barb got silenced...I hope you see how op can it be if it's allowed in TW >.>

    Skills I have on my genie : Extreme Poison, Three of Protection, Cauterlize and Holly Path.

    About Frenzy - isn't it kinda dangerous to cast it in PvP? It reduces your defense to 0.

    Frenzy is a rush-burst skill. And it can good to use in PvP IF you remember three thoughts.

    The first thought is if your opponent is off-guard or incapacitated and you're confident you can drop him before he retaliates. If you Frenzy on an opponent who sees you coming, you might as well put yourself on the grill, cause you'll be a dead fish.

    The second thought on using Frenzy is if you know you won't take damage during those 8 seconds anyway. -cough-Psychic Will vs. physical classes-cough-

    The third thought is that its basically useless against multiple enemies, unless by some divine grace they're all close enough together to be caught in a single Earth Vector. Then you might be able to aoe them to death before they roll you. But in any realistic situation, you'd Frenzy rush the first guy just to get pwned by his partner. Of course, if you have your own team together, it can be done if timed well.

    leaf dance is now the most useless geni skill of all time

    throwing your glowbugs energey away for 2% crit vs frenzy+EP

    2% crit vs at least 40% extra damage per hit for the next 10 or so seconds
    Gifs are hard to make work here

    Frenzy from far away or while they don't notice you, cast in the last 3 or so seconds (2 sec cast for Earth Vector), then Holy Path away if they don't get stunned (or some were out of AOE range).

    Frenzy is BEST used on AOEs...

    ...if you're a wizard you can also distance shrink before Holy Pathing.

    "Best"? Nah.


    Problem #1: The more people you approach, the greater your chance of being spotted. Simple logic to an active PvPer. Try it while rednamed, I guarantee someone will see it coming, and it only takes one wise person to stop you when you have 0 gear defense.

    Problem #2: Psychic aoes aren't Wizard aoes. It's not as easy to catch multiple PLAYERS in a psychic aoe, providing your opponents are intelligent. A 6m radius isn't that big. Though if they're dumb enough to constantly stand in a mob, well then...

    Problem #3: Just because you have Holy Path doesn't mean they don't. Dead fish when they catch up to you. They'll have you auto-targeted so it's not gonna be hard for them to get hits in.

    Frenzy is BEST used to drop a single target when you're playing a Psychic. Don't get it twisted. We aren't Wizards.

    Well, if they Holy Path behind you it's gonna be a chase of sorts. It's not like they can go faster than you. So it's time wasted, aka exactly the thing you're going for. And that time is plenty for your frenzy to wear off, after which, you are not such a weak target anymore. b:pleased

    Isn't it 8m AOE btw?

    Eh I guess @ the time wasting part.

    Earth Vector is 6m, unless you have the demon version which becomes 8m.

    Glacial Shards is 6m, even though it claims to be 8m. (Typing error in translation?)

    Sandburst Blast is 8m.

    Aqua cannon is 8m, but centered on the caster.

    Red Tide is 8m, as far as I can tell.

    *I assumed you meant Earth Vector, which was why I remarked at the 6m radius.
