I didn't wanna necro the BM genie discussion thread, however I want your opinion on this genie that I've got.

lv. 103 (81/100 LP)

80 Str
4 Dex
50 Mag
42 Vit

Skills:

Absolute Domain (Lv 10)
Expel (Lv 10)
Will Surge (Lv 10)
Occult Ice (Lv 10)
Remove Paralysis (Lv 10)
Tree of Protection (Lv 5)
Fortify (Lv 1)

I've got Fortify because in the past I found it useful for getting out of stuns (on my Cleric) and it seems to work well breaking BM's stunlocks if you have good timing, even with only three seconds of stun immunity. Will Surge is for Psychics of course, and I've found that I can kind of use it to negate Thicket's seal if I know it's coming. Remove Paralysis is mainly for Psychics, Assassins, and Archers, though it's proven to be very useful against Clerics as well when I fight them. I've got Tree to save me if I'm set up for a spark combo early on, and it's done its job quite well. Occult Ice, Domain, and Expel should be somewhat obvious.

Sooo anyway, that's my genie and skill set up, was wondering what you guys thought about it. I tried to get skill that would let me play offense and defense, though most of them have a rather high energy cost.

My old set up was:

Absolute Domain (Lv 10)
Expel (Lv 10)
Tangling Mire (Lv 10)
True Emptiness (Lv 10)
Tree of Protection (Lv 5)
Occult Ice (Lv 10)
Fortify (Lv 1)

I think my new skill setup should work better, I just lose the option to use TE if I'm close to my target and they're about to hit me with a strong magic attack. I've never really fought without TE so it might take some getting used to, but I think the new setup will work better.

It never hurts to have a second or third opinion, so tell me what you guys think.

    Hmm no Cauterize on it? How you going to remove bleed effect from yourself?

    You'd think with all our fiery attacks any wound I get would just kind of get cauterized in the midst of whatever fight I'm involved in o.o

    Oxygen bubble is probably the most underrated genie skill. This looks like a 1v1 genie though. How do you chase down venos without holy path or whirlwind?

    I don't b:cry

    Demon venos are a real pain when they start running.. I've managed to catch a few by hopping on my flyer and hasting, then occulting, but... I have to admit they're a pain to chase.
