Let's face it: there are some god awful annoying genie skills in this game. The question is which of them is the worst.

Post your opinion and I'll set up a poll including some of the genie skills that I think will get the most votes.

    Errr...

    Maybe I won't set up a poll.

    I tried and got some error message. Now I don't see an option to do it anywhere.

    Absolute Domain.

    Nothing more annoying than carefully debuffing, using all your chi and genie and whatever, and coordinating a combo only to see the target ****ing resist your one-shot even while stunned/sealed.

    Then again, Domain is wizard's best friend against sins poping out of stealth... Now that they messed up Expel, which was the only safe way to get rid of stealthed sins for wizards...

    What I find most annoying is True Emptiness. Sick damage in combination with Dragon (allows even fail BMs to show off with their damage against higher levels), restricted to BM and Barb and on top of it a ridiculous magic shield along with short cooldown. Wait what? b:surrender

    Well Occult Ice is irritating, but the only skill that really shouldnt exist is true emptiness.

    Occult Ice and domain are 2 essential skills and without them some classes would be disadvantaged (at least in mid-game, lv100 with hh90-99 gear)
    If you happy wanna be, against the wind you won't have to pee.

    Bramble Rage, True Emptiness, Tangling Mire, Occult Ice, ToP. That's the top 5 most annoying genie skills. If I had to choose, I'd say BR though.

    The whole Genie system should be removed, it made people rely too much on genie skills
    in PvE AND PvP while not on improving their class's + knowledge level.

    While I'm at it, also remove Tideborn as they aren't even existing in the p2p version of PW
    and totally ruined PvP for normal classes, so much that many got actually bored of PvP.

What's in your hand, back at me. It's an inventory filled with the gear you want. Look again, the gear is now diamonds. Anything is possible with sunglasses. I'm flying on starter wings.

    Agreed, was looking at battle ripple oblivion for my psy. I was like oh sweet "water debuff, i think ill ge.... wtf? only available in water?"

    The only available in water skills basically make them all useless 99% of the time.

    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    Genie skills are actually pretty good for balance since it allows classes to pick skills that address weaknesses in their class.

    If your class has no self heal you can get tree or second wind.
    If you chose sage and want attack speed you can get relentless courage or wind shield.


    AD is the literally the only defense against sin ganks. Too bad it has a 3min cooldown during which a sin can attack again.

    Agree with this. Alpha male helped with BMs lacking aggro skills... etc.

    On a side note Expel also helps against sin ganks. :p

    Haaai Mizu b:cute I am alive, get your *** on LC sometime, haven't seen you there for ages. We should get in touch again.. (Not THAT way, altho I know you would like it :P)
    About the CV Rings (Or Lunar ;P):I dun need cash on DW QQ And I am not sure if I wanna rip Xegs equipment apart... But then again...

    About BR: Yes, it is annoying as well, but I see more BMs using TE on my server. Plus TE adds the overpowered shield to the overpowered damage as well...

    That I can agree with since people do rely on it to much and makes the game less of a challenge and ruined a important roll in the veno class.

    While I'm at it, also remove Tideborn as they aren't even existing in the p2p version of PW
    and totally ruined PvP for normal classes, so much that many got actually bored of PvP.

    I could just call this QQ because you have a hard time dealing with them, and just can't find a way do bet Assassins, not Psychics, just Assassins. No offense tho.

    I also believe there will be even newer classes that will be more powerful than the TideBorn. But that's just thought.

    That is all. b:pleased
