    Im a DD barb, my pvp genie is this:

    Holy path
    Absolute domain
    Cloud Eruption (lvl 1)
    Fortify (lvl 1)
    Tangling mire
    Solid shield
    Occult ice

    88 str
    53 vit
    67 mag

    The main difference is that the PvE genie is pure mag/vit and the PvE has 88 str to make occult ice and Solid shield usefull.

    Cloud eruption is a very popular skill on PvE genies, but not so popular on PvP genies. I think it is underrated for PvP genies. I use it a lot when im in moving places and not in fight. During fight it enables you to use >399 chi combos like spark-(onslought)-wrath.

    Tangling mire i rarely use in PvP, but i should be using it because it is an aoe skill. That can never be bad in mass pvp.

    What i am really lacking is the skill to get out of locks that arent stun. Badge of courage i think it is called. But that doesnt fit on my genie. It needs dex and i think it doesnt fit with my genies afinities either.

    I actually bought the PvP genie from headslicerr when he quit. (was known to be one of the best pk barbs on our server) At that moment it also had an anti-metal skill and something that takes away enemy chi. I dont know when to use those skills so i replaced them (with cloud eruption and i think tangling mire)

    I also really miss the mag/vit that my pve genie has. Its kinda painfull since the genies are the same except for solid shield and occult ice. For those 2 skills the genie has 88 str, no longer allowing it to cast both AD and Holy path like my PvE genie. :(
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.

    I only use one genie for everything:pve, pvp, cata

    Its a Infliction with 86 lP, i got 16 str 7 dex 70 vit and 85 magic

    all skills lvl 10

    -tree of protection, always great in a tight spot
    -solid shield, barb genie necessity
    -bramble rage(mostly for interrupting purposes/troll skill)<<i switch it out with mire occasionally
    -AD, the damn my charm just ticked im bout to die skill
    -heart of steel, great for those pesky clerics, archers, and of course seekers.
    -tai chi, i rarely see this skill on other barbs genie lists but i like it for tht hp regen rate on steroids effect. Its also quite cheap to use.
    -cloud eruption, Im sage so chi is usually never an issue, but its always nice to have 3 bars for no good reason b:chuckle, also good for invoke preparation.

    The reason i chose high vit and magic is because im a cata, i really enjoy the spammability of genie skills, also this way if need be solid shield can be paired with TOP, heart of steel, and tai chi. Not all at one of course but being able to pair genie skills is always a plus in my book. b:victory
    The loudest person in the room, usually has the least to say... b:chuckle
