Genies!

Yay genie thread...

I'm basically trying to create a genie that will be used for my mystic but also my cleric too, I don't want it to be a PvE genie but a pvp genie.

I was thinking about going with a vit/mag build genie and maybe having belief/faith on it, however I've never used it so I don't know how effective it will be.

I know fortify is a must, holy path too but if I use a belief genie I won't be able to have expel/AD, though I don't find expel to be that good for a healer, or is that just me?
Soul of fire is a must for the BTs/Spark wizxies, maybe Will Surge to stop throatcuts/FoW?

I just want to see what peoples opinions are on it.

Nah, Faith isn't worth it because of its awful affinity requirements. Go with a dex genie. Discipline for optimization since it has the least str. get expel, AD, fortify, and holy path. Depending on how much dex you're able to stat while having a decent amount of mag and vit, you could also get badge or trade out badge for fortify depending on which you prefer, I prefer fortify for mystic though. Soul of Fire kinda depends on your server. On my server I can count the number of wizzies who use genie spark on one hand, and I'm friends with all of them so I took nullify poison instead. Really helps vs venos and other mystics, but not necessary with end game gear.

On a server I play that's flooded with Spark using wizzies, I run Expel, AD, Holy Path, Fortify, and Soul of Fire. When I manage to get a genie with more LP, I'll probably add badge or wind shield. Wizzies pretty much rely on fire skills to kill other arcanes so if you have good timing they pretty much won't be able to kill you 1v1 without some freak string of crits. Expel is really nice for those times when a sin spark stealths you, or a barb is arma'ing you, but AD would be too slow. It takes a bit of time knowing when to use fortify if you're new to it, but most genie skills take getting used to before you can use them effectively. I still often mess up fortify though which is why I'm looking forward to badge. b:surrender Had a bad experience with badge on a 90 dex genie though so not expecting much.

Yeah SoF is a must, playing on a pserver where spark wizzies are abundant, SoF has to be one of my most favoured skills.

I've been using a Disci dex genie but always wished I had more spamability and more of a cushion if you will to fall back on. I've been getting better at fortify but still pretty nab with it. xD

Would ToP be any good or just useless? I was considering windshield, 62 energy and you can get 25% reduction easy.

Was also thinking about evil ward for those BM/Veno gank situations.

Omg ikr. Every wizzie on pservers have spark, so anyone not carrying Soul of Fire has got to be insane.

I can't check right now, but on my genie I put 50 vit and mag, and have somewhere between 70 and 80ish dex for my genie, and so far its skills have always been up when I needed them, even in extended 1v1s vs classes like barbs or wizzies.

ToP is probably useless for any caster tbh, especially mystic. Only time I ever used it on a mystic was when I was aoe grinding spiders and a cleric slept me. lol

I'm not sure which server you play on, but tbh bms and venos are easily the rarest ones on mine Understandable since those two are by far the ones that scale worse with r9 only reason I really made mine was to be able to assist with purge since buffs make such a huge difference there and not really interested in playing archer. And even considering that my veno oneshot an aps build sin with an unbuffed crit trololol.

Yeah, it's funny though when Wizes can only rely on spark so if you have soul of fire they get walled by it and can't kill you any other way. xD

Yeah, was just thinking of any other slot fillers, never really used ToP myself I just see others use it quite a bit.

Hmm the server begins with the first letter of your name.
Should be pretty obvious.
I know theres a few venos about but I think theres like what, 3 BMs? xD
Can't really think of much else that would be usefull if I'm honest.

Gotta agree, lots of wizzies are spark dependent so as long as you SoF quick you're safe. It also prevents BT charm bypasses which is nice.

I just can't see ToP being very useful when you're charmed, have falling petals, and 8k+ heals that can be cast in less than a second.

Yep, same server. I almost never see any venos or bms, but there's sooooo many barbs and archers. x.x Anyway, when venos do gank you I don't really think it's the amp that gets you killed, moreso the evil purge. >.>
