New girl to PWI and to veno. Have a couple of questions

Galliteya - Heavens Tear

Hello. I started pwi yesterday after reading the forums for about 3 days heehee. Only thing I had trouble finding was the right build for my venomancer. I chose venomancer because after extensive reading I found out they are the best money makers and can solo extremely well. Hope I chose the right class^^.

As far as builds go. I probably won't do the pk thing what ever it is. I don't pvp much even when I played wow. I like to solo/quest and grind for money. Would anyone of you be able to tell me how I could start making a wittle bit of money at early levels? I know we can tame pets at level 7 which I am not there yet.

What pets are worth taming and selling? What did you sell yours for. A faction picked me up yesterday known as Nemesis and a very friendly barb gave me 2 eggs. Glacial Walker and he said it was like a mermaid siren heehee I don't know.

Will I use magical attack gear along with physical defense gear? I want to be the best veno a girl can be. He also gave me an item. Its a pet collar. What do I do with it? Thanks for reading my very first post.

I assume 9 Mag/1 Str every 2 levels would be the way to go. At early levels, just following your quests and selling drops is really the only way to earn money. There are no pets to sell anymore, because that economy has dried up, unfortunately. You could try to tame rare pets and sell the all-class versions, but otherwise, it'd be more profitable to grind.

The right build would be 1 str. and 9 mag every 2 lvls, this way you'll get maximum damage output from spells, and your pet heal will be better too due to the higher mag. This makes it easier to solo stuff.

The best thing is just to do your quests and lvl. Making money at lower lvls is kinda hard, but it gets easier at higher lvls. lvling shouldn't be too hard after you get the feel of it

What pets are worth taming and selling? What did you sell yours for. A faction picked me up yesterday known as Nemesis and a very friendly barb gave me 2 eggs. Glacial Walker and he said it was like a mermaid siren heehee I don't know.

Your best bet would be taming rare pets in that case, the compitition is hard though since there will be more veno's who want to tame the pets. Overall there's not much money to make from selling pets
The glacial walker is the second best tank(for phys damage) in the game The best one is the hercules pet, which you can buy for about 160 dollar or about 80~160 mil ingame coins. The price is different per server. To get a herc you have to collect 9999 Source of Force. There are loads of discussions about weather it's worth it's price or not so I'm not going to tell you you should or shouldn't get it. That's up to you You will be able to solo more if you one though
I don't know about the ice siren, maybe someone else can inform you on that one.



Will I use magical attack gear along with physical defense gear? I want to be the best veno a girl can be. He also gave me an item. Its a pet collar. What do I do with it? Thanks for reading my very first post.

You will use arcane gear or also called robes. I do recommend using phys defence necklaces and belts for some extra defence, At lower lvls you shouldn't worry about it too much though

With a pet collar you can give your pet a name. If you open your map you will see the biggest city, Archosaur. In the the south-east corner of Archosaur you will find the Zoologist. if you click rename pet (make sure pet isn't summoned) you can rename your pet ^^ It will then say Galliteya's [insert name you choose]

Hope I helped you out a bit and have fun ^^

That's a bit squishy. The basic magic build I've always seen has about 50 vitality in there someplace. You'll have to deal with both the enemy your pet is tanking and any in the nearby vicinity that suddenly decide you look tasty.

And while the pet will be tanking, it can become pretty trivial to steal aggro with that high a magic score. Especially since you'll likely be attacking as well to speed up the enemy's death. Even worse if you suddenly land a critical hit.

Venomancers are the best in the sense that they require very little upkeep while grinding. Eventually you'll be able to recover HP and MP every few minutes using skills. You'll also have a skill to swap HP and MP. Since the pet will be tanking you'll have virtually no repair bill.

The best money making in the game though is going to be a shop buying/selling things. If you're decent at working the market you can potentially make a decent amount. While grinding, especially at the higher levels, I would typically let my pet do everything (assuming it could solo the mob) while I farmed nearby materials to sell later.

With the level of competition you'll have, you won't get them very often. To be honest, I'm not all that certain they will sell. I haven't tried scouting the location of them lately so I wouldn't know for sure. But I do know I rarely see a player using them these days at the higher levels.

well every1 told me that to "not to go pure magic becouse you steal ago and die" ... so i got curious and made it pure ... i've put str just enought to allow me wear my weap/armor the rest goes to magic. the beauty about this build in pve is that you have great heal to you pet (that halps a lot when you kill a nasty boss) and about tha agro... all you have to do is use the bash/roar on your tank pet and slow your attack util mobs hp goes bellow 50%. b:cute

make sure you have hp pots/hp charm ... just in case b:chuckle ... tell you the truth most of the time i steal agro on porpuse becouse i kill the mob in 2-3 shots and he doesn't have time to reach me before he dies.

about makeing money ... grinding is the best choise ... but you will not have to much time for that becouse you have many quests to do at lower lv. :P

bdw... don't npc everything:
- keep the DG items (dragon quest) but only the 1 above lv 31 - those 1 u can ether sell them to another player at a better price (check other cat shops to see the market price) or you can npc them and get the dg points yourself .. there are some items u can get with those ... that could be useful but at higher lvs :P
- keep the material that can be use to manufacture gear those you can sell in cat shop or ah - again check the market prices and decide the best price for you
- make sure you get your pick axe b:chuckle and farm everything you see ... mats/herbs ... players buy those
there is a lot to talk about this ... but at your lv this are pretty much the best ways


edit: the glacial walker that you got as present is 1 of the best tankers in pwi :P so keep it. at lv 8 you are able to tame the petit sawfly - 1 of the best flying pets (south of Plume City near Bamboo village - you will get a quest at some point that will allow you to tele to Plume City ... but from there you will have to run to Bamboo Village XD)

hope that all this info is useful to you

True, but lvling goes faster nowadays, also you will most likely be able to kill a mob before it gets to you if you steal agro.
I statted in vitality and I notice it just gets in my way. 50vit is about 1k less damage each hit. Restats are expensive and it's easier to add vit later on then restatting it.b:cute

Mauntille - Heavens Tear

The other nice thing about going pure magic from the beginning is that you learn aggro mechanics and damage control right from the start. I feel like this is a lost art in this game, with so many people going the nuker route and not setting themselves up to be able to tank what they steal. I can't tell you how many times my cleric has been yelled at for not "correctly healing" a 1-shot.

But back to venos, I took Mau to 40 vit early on and then restated to pure magic after I hit 90. I've got another lowbie veno I'm using to experiment with who's pure magic. At the low levels, you definitely have to pay attention to what you aggro when and how you position yourself, but like others have said, pretty much nothing can touch you. In the mid to upper levels, however, you'll definitely want to make sure you have a decent amount of hp as things like aoe's and random aggro come into play. This doesn't mean you have to stat vit, but you will have to choose between upgrading your gear (good refines/shards) and free hp (vit).

Robe veno is probably the easiest to start out with. You can go pure mag, for highest damage and pet heal (1 str 9 mag every two levels), or add some vit for survivability (1 str, 6-8 mag, 1-3 vit every 2 levels). I think most venos that add vit cap it once they feel they have enough extra hp, then going to the 1 str 9 mag build. I have a friend that plays robe veno (I'm light armor myself), and she capped vit at 53 without gear additions. Never add dex to a robe wearer, it's a waste. You only need dex for a veno if you're going LA or HA.

What pets are worth taming and selling? What did you sell yours for. A faction picked me up yesterday known as Nemesis and a very friendly barb gave me 2 eggs. Glacial Walker and he said it was like a mermaid siren heehee I don't know.

Well, the ones you'll get the most coin for would be the rare pets. But these only spawn every 12 hours, and there will be rough competition to get them. You can sometimes have luck selling Glacial Walkers and Dark Wanderers, since the Walker is the best free tank pet, and the Wanderer one of the best DD (damage dealing) pets.

Will I use magical attack gear along with physical defense gear? I want to be the best veno a girl can be. He also gave me an item. Its a pet collar. What do I do with it? Thanks for reading my very first post.

You should be using magical attack rings, and if you're an arcane veno, I'd imagine physical defense ornaments to augment your phys def. The pet collar is to rename your pets at a pet trainer or Mrs. Zoologist.

Going pure magic early on as a veno is a horrible idea for a player just starting out this game. It isn't whether or not it's do-able, but when player gets to do BH29 BH39 and BH51 with mobs that do AOE damage (Farren, Rankar, Wyvern -- all physical which an arcane is weak to) or splash damage (lanterns, reverexes, dodonixes), other DDs who likely pull aggro are going to pose a threat that knowing aggro management itself for the veno would not matter on. In this case, survivability helps in being able to aid in aggro management. This is true near endgame, although near endgame far better supports a player who wants to go full magic with their veno. It is certainly easy to get the gist of aggro mechanics without being full magic -- that one is entirely predicated on the player's learning curve which is of a different subject than attributes, armor type, and aggro mechanics.

That's another factor. I've been in BHs before helping low levels (around level 50 or so) and they never seem to understand that the herc/walker/magmite cannot hold aggro that well. In one particular run I did, the guy died about three times because he wouldn't listen. After the third time, I left.

Although I think AOE/splash damage is more of an issue. FB39 is pretty tough considering its level and has practically one of each basic type (poisoner, exploder, AOEs, etc). Sure that extra bit of vitality means less damage and it can mean slower leveling. But so can losing experience from being a squishy one-hit venomancer. And don't start bringing up aggro control. Not everyone is a decent venomancer. I've met plenty who are absolutely terrible at it.

Galliteya - Heavens Tear

Wow so many replies. Thank you!^^ I've started getting used to my veno now. What I think is really nice is sending my pet to 2-3 mobs and then I'll harvest the materials in the area heehee. When I was 3 I had a choice between the wold and a scorpion. I chose the wolf. But at around level 8 I didn't like it to much. >< So I put him back in his egg and dropped him where I got him. I went and taimed a ohhhh can't think of the name....shoot. Vericose scorpion o.O? I absolutely adore him. That little thing he does where he bouncing from left to right is sooo cute heehee. Also I have a bunch of spots for pets but won't let me put anymore pets there. Why? I wanted to tame a turtle so I'd have a water pet. Oh well. Back to leveling.

And again thanks for all your replies. The information is appreciated very much ^^. Ohhh one last question. I notice some of the gear I pick up has sockets in it. What do I put in those sockets? Thank you. b:cute

chainfire93

if you intend on soloing a lot you may want to place some points into vit early game (personally capped at 50) even if you're going arcane armour. in later levels sometimes you realize you need to lure mobs that are grouped together and if you mistime it (happens from time to time) you have to be ready to take a hit or two before your pet is summoned again.

Mayfly - Dreamweaver

Also I have a bunch of spots for pets but won't let me put anymore pets there.

Those slots haven't been opened yet. At this point you should have 2 slots you can put pets in, the rest can be opened using quests from the pet skill trainer in Lost (and Archosaur, Dreamweaver Port and Thousand Streams) using either pet food you gather (up to 5 slots with 20 hay, 50 fruit, 100 fungus) or cages bought from the boutique (cash shop.) Note that if you use a cage, you can not then complete the corresponding level of pet food quest to open the next slot.

I notice some of the gear I pick up has sockets in it. What do I put in those sockets?

You put shards (soul gems) into sockets. The most commonly used are: citrine (increase HP), sapphire (increase magic attack/defense), and garnet (increase physical attack/defense.)

Excellent choice, the scorpion is one of the best DD pets. If you decide to keep him, you'll eventually want to level up his bash, to help kill things quicker (quicker coin, yay ^^) and generate more aggro. Adding more skills will also increase his capabilities, but that gets expensive, so you want to make sure the pet is a keeper before ya spend too much.

Also I have a bunch of spots for pets but won't let me put anymore pets there. Why? I wanted to tame a turtle so I'd have a water pet. Oh well. Back to leveling.

As mentioned above, you need to open the slots via quests/cages. I just wanted to make a little note that you don't really need to keep a water pet, in case you wanted to make room in the slot for something else. Water quests aren't that frequent, and you can: 1) Just tame a water pet around your level whenever you need one (I've heard that at level 80 you can tame the celestial plumpfish which will finally be a keeper). 2) Lure the mobs to the surface of the water and use your flying pet to kill them. Two free flying pets worthy of considering are the petite sawfly (level 8, somewhere around plume city iirc) and the cloud skatefish (level 22, in the tideborn area).

P.S. Meant to put this in my last post, but welcome to PW, and to playing veno! b:pleased

P.P.S About the sharding, you can buy gems from Merchant NPCs, then combine them into higher level gems at... I believe it's the Jewelscrafstman?

Ouka - Heavens Tear

Putting vit into a veno or choosing another type of build other then pure mag doesnt really make a difference in lvling to begin with at all. out of the 4 caster classes in the game currently venomancers aquire the least amount of magic damage from a magic atribute point.


An example of this is a venomancer with 400 magic has a base magic attack of 301 - 301

A psychic, wizard, and cleric with 400 magic all have a Base magic attack of 500 - 500

This is due to venos gaining a lower percentage of magic attack from a magic point. Due to the you will notice not much difference in a vit veno's damage compared to a pure mag veno.

Kinnacat - Lost City

Yay, I get to talk about rare pets! =D

#1: What is a rare pet?

A rare pet is a pet that only spawns once every 12 hours, at a specific spot. There is only 1 rare pet spawn point. They aren't like other mobs. They are actually CUTE. =3

#2: Spawn times

As said above, they spawn once every 12 hours. To be more precise, a rare pet will spawn 12 afters after being killed or tamed. ie: rare was tamed/killed at 1:15 am, it will spawn again at 1:15 PM.


#3: List of rare pets & # of spawn points

lvl 9 Frogling (3 spawn points)

***lvl 20 Snow Hare*** (I don't remember... 5 I think)

lvl 20 Tabby Plumdrop (2 spawn points)

lvl 20 Shaodu Cub (2 spawn points)

lvl 30 Windwalking Piggy (1 spawn point)

lvl 40 Cuddly Pup (apparently there are 2 spawn points, but I only ever saw him spawn at one)

lvl 60 Kowlin (1 spawn point)

lvl 80 Armored Bear (1 spawn point)

*** This pet is not considered very rare. He has A LOT of spawns (5 I think) and he spawns every hour. ***

Note: The names of the rare vary from server to server.

#4: What is the best use for each pet?

Frogling: Unfortunately I don't know. I never had a frogling as a pet. I know nothing about this pet except the lvl and the spawn points. Sorry. =/

Snow Hare: Same as the frogling, sorry about that. =/

Tabby Plumdrop: If you keep the initial skills, the Tabby Plumdrop is a debuffing type pet. They come with a physical and magical debuff. This cute little cat does decent dmg and has good defense. The HP is good. She is also quick.

Shaodu Cub: With a lot of HP and defense, this cute little polar bear cub is made for tanking. The dmg he deals will be lower, he is not a DD pet. He's a tank.

Windwalking Piggy: This piggy is made for tanking. High HP and defense. Lower attack, but still decent dmg.

Cuddly Pup: Damn, I really have to do some research lol. Once again I'm not sure.

Kowlin: Lower HP and defense, but very high speed and dmg. This panther is made for pulling and DDing. Even though she has low HP and defense, which makes her die quickly, her speed saves her when pulling. NOT A TANK PET!

Armored Bear: This bear is also made for tanking. High HP and defense, but lower dmg.

Note: Some ppl think a specific rare pet is useless. ie: kowlin. They want a tank pet, so they say the kowlin is useless, which is absolutely false. As said above, the kowlin is a puller & dder, not a tank. Before thinking a pet is useless, think of which kind of pet you want. Do you want a DDer? A tank? A debuffer? A puller? After answering that question, chose your pet according to his strong point.

#5: Prices

One my server, they used to be 600k+. Prices dropped because of noobs getting them and not knowing what they're worth. They also dropped because ppl are impatient. They want to sell them NOW. Prices are giving me a heart attack now... When I see a rare I used to sell for 500k-600k for 94k in AH to buy now, it hurts... x.x; I recommend these prices:

Frogling: 200k

Snow Hare: 20k

Tabby Plumdrop: 600k

Shaodu Cub: 600k

Windwalking Piggy: 600k

Cuddly Pup: 600k

Kowlin: 750k

Armored Bear: 800k

Note: Of course this depends on where the prices are on the market right now. This is what they are worth, even though some sell them for a lot less. I try to make the prices go back up, of course because it's my only way of making money and they are RARE. They aren't that expensive for nothing. Getting them is not easy.

Well, that's about it. If you have questions pm me via the forums or in game. I'm on Lost City server, my name is kinnacat. (all in small letters)

Btw, should I make a guide? Was this helpful?

Frogling: Unfortunately I don't know. I never had a frogling as a pet. I know nothing about this pet except the lvl and the spawn points. Sorry. =/
Used before as a magic tank pre-herc. Low attack, high magic defense.

Snow Hare: Same as the frogling, sorry about that. =/
A pet to be only used because of its looks. Not many people use it. Low attack, high magic defense.


Tabby Plumdrop: If you keep the initial skills, the Tabby Plumdrop is a debuffing type pet. They come with a physical and magical debuff. This cute little cat does decent dmg and has good defense. The HP is good. She is also quick.

Shaodu Cub: With a lot of HP and defense, this cute little polar bear cub is made for tanking. The dmg he deals will be lower, he is not a DD pet. He's a tank.

Cuddly Pup: Damn, I really have to do some research lol. Once again I'm not sure.
Just like the Tabby Plumdrop, this pet has skills set up like a debuffer as well. It's the fastest pet around lv. 40 until you get the Kowlin.

Kowlin: Lower HP and defense, but very high speed and dmg. This panther is made for pulling and DDing. Even though she has low HP and defense, which makes her die quickly, her speed saves her when pulling. NOT A TANK PET!
Any pet can be used for tanking if you know how to time your heals right.

Armored Bear: This bear is also made for tanking. High HP and defense, but lower dmg.

Note: Some ppl think a specific rare pet is useless. ie: kowlin. They want a tank pet, so they say the kowlin is useless, which is absolutely false.

In your pet bag, you have 10 spaces total. You have to expand it in order to use the slots though. How to do that? Go to the pet skill trainer and take the quest to expand your pet bad. You can either bring her some fooder or a cage. You get the fooder by killing specific mobs. The cages you get from the boutique. (press O on your keyboard) If you want to spend money (it's real life $ btw) I suggest you spend 12$ right away to get all 10 slots open instead of buying a cage for 2$ every time.

The sockets in equipment are spaces to put gems. Gems can give you more HP, defense, MP etc... In weapons, only put shards that will give you more magic attack. For the gear, it depends on what build you are. I'm a vit/mag hybrid. I put a lot of physical defense shards in my gear. It helps a lot. If you're a pure magic build, HP shards would probably be best. I'm not sure though. Physical defense shards work best for me. I'm not that squishy anymore! b:victoryb:laugh

Galliteya - Heavens Tear

I really appreciate all the replies. ^^ I really do. Thank you all. I am level 20 now and I'm using a glacial walker and a petite sawfly. My glacial doesn't have bash but has roar. What skill do I keep on at all times? Roar or his ice clap hulk thing he does heehee. I like his buff that gives him extra defense to keep him alive longer.

I did a quest yesterday was called..well the faction said it was my fb19. I managed to clear out the first tunnel before they showed up. *sniffles* I was proud of myself and my walker. Those wolves are crazy haha. But I had 3 on him at once and lived to tell about it. I put 2 +12 magic attack gems in my dungeon weapon. But I got 2 pieces of 3 star purple gear which both have a socket yey! ^^ I put a +15 hp shard in each. I'm really liking my veno. But seems I have to watch my surroundings as every thing that looks at me wants to gobble me up:(. I am puting my points in 8mag 1str 1vit every 2 levels. Seems to be working ok for me. I havn't died yet but a flying mount would sure help lol.

I learned about the auctioneer yesterday and actually made some coins off of a few materials I picked up. You'd be suprised at what people leave on the ground when they're fighting. Again thanks for all the replies! b:cute

Btw, should I make a guide? Was this helpful?

this was helpful, and especially if you can fill in suggested uses / strengths / weaknesses of the remaining rares, it would make a great guide.

eh, prices must vary from server to server. on heaven's tear just a few days ago kowlins and shaodu cubs both went for around the 1mil mark, or slightly over. if they were as cheap as you say they are on LC, i'd have at least one of them!

Congrats on the instance run! It's such a rush the first time. The "ice clap hulk thing" is icicle, the water version of bash. You should have icicle on default, as it will build aggro with each use. Roar resets aggro each time it's cast, so while it's good to take/steal aggro when needed, it's not something you want to keep firing.

I'll work on filling in the blanks. There is much more to say that I did in my post. I'll do my best with trying to make a guide. I never made a guide before, sorry if it turns out to be a disaster. xD

Yes, I know they do. When I was a little veno, rares were 1mill each too. But as I said, because of noobs and ppl that want to make money NOW, the prices dropped like crazy. I WANT 1 MILL PER PET AGAIN! b:cry

***lvl 20 Snow Hare*** (I don't remember... 5 I think)

It also has a 1h spawn time. :P

Frogling: Unfortunately I don't know. I never had a frogling as a pet. I know nothing about this pet except the lvl and the spawn points. Sorry. =/

Snow Hare: Same as the frogling, sorry about that. =/

Snow Hare is kinda a magic tank. It has higher mdef than the bear, but less hp/pdef. It also naturally has healing and interupt skills.

Iirc, the frog was a magic tank too... don't quite remember. XD

What skill do I keep on at all times?

He should have Icicle. It's the same as bash, but does water damage instead of physical damage. o.o

Gotta love free loot. 0=)

Btw, there are purple Rhinodrake monsters by the west gate of Archosaur. Those drop Hay. You can use it to open up a 3rd spot in your pet bag, and they can be worth a nice amount when put up on auction.

Galliteya - Heavens Tear

Yeah it was a rush. I walked through the portal heehee ^^ and stared down a long tunnel. When the bm go there he asked me what happened to the first set of mobs. I said bubba took care of them for me ^^. That's my glacial walker . He said "Good job". Made me feel good. I do have icicle on at all times. I use roar when another mob catches me unaware ><. At what levels can my walker learn new abilities. Such as Icicle 2 or roar 2. I'm just curious so I can be on the look out for it. b:cute

Pet skills can be updated every 20 levels (i.e. bash 2 at level 20, 3 at 40, etc.). All three of the Walker's skills start at 2, so you're good until level 40. You'll want to at least keep Icicle and Tough updated, I'm not sure how important it is to update Roar... I've heard that at higher levels the skill adds more aggro to the mob as it steals aggro, but I haven't messed with it cuz it's 200k per tame book (the thing you buy from Mrs. Zoologist in archo to update pet skills), and I'd rather spend the coin on other skills and gear at the moment. ^^

Laranda - Heavens Tear

There's a npc named Mrs. Zoologist. She has the scrolls to upgrade pet skills and teach pets new skills too. She'll also handle the actually skill upgrades. You'll find her in South West Archosaur.

Most of her skill scrolls are 300k though... usually cheaper to wait and see if someone puts one up for auction. XD

Just wanted to point out that's for teaching the pet new skills. New skills scrolls are 300k for skills such as Bash, Flesh Ream, etc. Skills such as Howl, Threaten, are 750k. :P The tame books, used to upgrade skills already on the pet, are 200k, and the forget scrolls, to unlearn a skill the pet has, are 100k. Agreed@auction house, I found Howl for my wanderer for 50k, and saw Threaten going for 200k a couple days ago (tho I, being impatient, had already spent 750k to buy from npc, and 100k to forget a skill that was in the way :P).

Well I guess I'll check the auction house around level 40 ^^. I played a cleric yesterday to try them out. Was pretty fun. Especially the wings at level 1. But I missed my veno lol. Hope you all are having as good a morning as I am. This girl has her coffee and breakfast. Now its time to level. I had a couple more questions.
I'm having a hard time with my genie. I have stat points up to ummm level 10 I think but no clue as to where they would go. I picked up a skill called second wind and tangling something. Can't remember the last part ^^. There are so many skills in the genie's tree that it makes it hard to decide what is good and what isn't.

Also I got fox form yey!Finally I can be a cute cuddly fox. But when I switch to fox form my skills such as scarab ect dissapear Is fox form good to use while level? I looked at the skills but I don't really know. Oh! I got a skill called brambel guard. I love that skill! Give the mobs who attack me a taste of there own damage ^^.

But yes I have other skills to buy just don't now what to take. Thanks again for all your help.

Keep in mind the "every 20 levels" I mentioned is for upgrading pet skills to higher levels. For this you do not need a skill book such as a bash scroll or tough scroll, but a tame book. I have never seen those selling at AH.

You want to distribute stat points depending on what skills you want. For example second wind and tangling mire are both affected by strength, so putting more strength on your genie would make those skills stronger. Vit gives the genie more energy, which may be necessary for some skills, or for casting skills twice in a row. Magic increases energy regen speed, which can come in handy if you want to spam genie skills. Affinity points should also be distributed based on what skills you want... on my first genie I had no idea what skills were good, and so ended up splaying my affinities out all over. :P Here's a helpful thread on genie for veno:

Fox form is handy, but as a robe veno you'll do more damage casting in human form than you will duking it out with your paws. ^^ You'll find it helpful when you need to get extra def while running away from something hitting you hard, when you need to cast Amp on a boss (make it take more damage), purge a boss (remove any skills it has cast on itself), or leech HP from a mob and take them for yourself.
Bramble is nice. ^_^ Make sure to cast it on the barb/tank when you're squadding!

But yes I have other skills to buy just don't now what to take. Thanks again for all your help.

If you're talking about your skills, make sure to keep ironwood and venomous up to level. Ironwood lowers the mob's phys defense, which is awesome ^_^ and venomous is your most spamable skill, used to gain chi and do a bit of damage when the other stuff is cooling down. If you're talking about your pet skills, you couldn't go wrong by adding threaten to your walker. Tough/threaten in combination make for awesome damage reduction, which would come in handy for your tank pet.

EDIT: Forgot to explain threaten, it's a debuff that decreases the target's physical attack.

Fox form has it's own set of skills that are enabled while a fox. In a sense, it let's you have two sets of skills at the same time and switch between them at will. o.o
