Dragon Fire on genie...

Ray - Momaganon

I was thinking about giving this skill a try with enough vit and full str genie...

Anyone has tried this skill or knows if it's worth it?? Does it hit more than 2k on arcanes?

Also ThunderStorm with full dex genie with the bonuses of double/triple.. does it hit enough on HA classes, how's like on catabarbs? is it like bramble rage or don't bother?

Thanks in advance

TBH if you want a skill that's murder against arcanes, doesn't get much better than True Emptiness. With a 50 Str/Vit Genie will easily hit for a lot more than dragonfire (and triple damage if they're flying) and it gives you a nifty shield against magic. IDK if it still only works for BMs and Barbs though (should) work for Seekers one would think.

Also, if your right beside a flying Cata Barb, wait what? Don't think that's really going to happen, and at range against a ground target the damage would be bleh.

Seekers cannot use TE. It's just BMs and Barbs.

You'll notice there are no genie skills which have a requisite class of sins, psychics, seekers, or mystics. This is because the genies were developed before any of those classes came out and we have not had a (significant) genie skill update since then.

Functionally speaking, you'd probably get Dragonfire in order to do more versatile (phys + mag) damage than, say, Bramble Rage (which just does two kinds of magic). Against a target with equal defenses, Bramble Rage would probably do much more damage though. I'd always support seeing someone use a genie skill that few others use, though (although I'm the guy who put Phoenix Dance on one of my genies just to make people go "wtf" when all the fire/frost nixes go swarming everything, so...).
