Hi fellow mystics, I have a lvl 90 mystic and will soon be 100+ and was looking forward to endgame genie skills for my mystic. I came across the genie skill called Ice Blast, the skill description says it reduces opponents hp by 3.3% at lvl 1.... (left at lvl 1 because of high energy usage) however if you get your genie dex to about 80 minimum then well be looking at 8%hp max hp reduction.

Now the interesting part is that we have a lvl 100 skill called weeping breeze dance which reduces max hp by 8 %. combined with Ice Blast then it could be a 16% max hp reduction, remeber with higher dex and genie vitality the skill could do more than 16% max hp reduction.

(think of it on high hp targets a.k.a tanky barbs/bms/seekers)

now where it all comes down to is that.....does these 2 skills stack? If yes then b:dirtysexaaay
if not well itll be a waste of time

Could this skill compare to the wizys genie spark, the barbs solid shield or the venos chaotic spirit

Discuss pls any proof/images are welcome

    They wouldn't stack.

    Also, weeping breeze dance isn't really worth getting. It barely does 4k more damage than nature's vengeance even with R8+8 and that 8% reduction is in most cases not much of a reduction. Even if it crits its still doing </= a natures vengeance + soul absorb combo. I got it because I figured from the description that with a decent weapon it would do moderately better damage. For the mp cost its pretty underwhelming, especially against the 1st 2 skills you get.

    A lot of things you try to use it on are immune to it anyways, but it helps on a boss or two if no one has any of the way better hp reduction skills to use.

    I mainly use it on Increased life mobs.

    It does look really cool though.

    I only use my genie for holy path and cloud eruption, but extreme poison is pretty sweet for any character. I used to have second wind because I did on my psy's genie, but swapped it for tree of protection; Which I never use.

    Occult Ice sounds nice, and frenzy works on summons if you summon them while its active, but that sounds like a bad trade off to begin with.

    I wish that tb and eg had unique genie skills too...
