Hi folks! It's your friendly neighborhood Tiger here.

The new Age of Spirits Expansion brought us new Genies, and also new skills. With the amount of skills available there are bound to be some issues that slip through. If you happen to come across a bug with one of the skills, please post it here in this format:

Name of skill
Current Description of Skill
Actual Effect

Sound good? And here we go!

I will update the post as any more issues are found/fixed. Please remember, this thread is for legitimate bugs/issues ONLY. Any complaints that skill X is overpowered, skill Y is underpowered, or "Genies r teh suk" will be deleted.

As always, we here at Perfect World Entertainment appreciate and thank each and everyone one of you for your continued support in helping us make PWI the great game that it is! b:thanks

    Reflective Aura doesn't seem to reflect any damage back at your attacker when the description says - Reflects all damage from other players back at the caster for 4 seconds Y_Y

    Edit - I'll do it properly.

    Reflective Aura

    Current Description of Skill: Reflects all damage from other players back at the caster for 4 seconds
    Actual Effect: Nothing except stamina loss, yay.

    Skill tree lists it will reflect magic damage. But one of my guildmates reported that it doesn't reflect.

    So we can not get our stuff back for investing into something that said it did what we needed it to do?

    Cuz I went to the stuff just for that healing skill and I coulda just went for the tree of protection instead....

    The skill will probably be fixed... hence why they're asking for the bug reports.

    I bought healing and it doesn't "heal health" like I was told it would, so I invested points I can't get back into that instead of something so I could get Tree Of Healing.

    Just deal with it really, if you don't want it, just get rid of it, and save up more spirit for Tree. Or you can wait and see when they fix it.

    the skill description under skill inquiry on genie page for faith does not say it grants a chance of status immunity.
    lvl 1 faith actual skill description says it gives u 10% chance of status immunity for 5seconds
    lvl 3 faith skill description also still says gives 10% chance of status immunity for 5 seconds.

    i have not actually tested the skill out, however with it being a lvl 15 advanced skill i was expecting something more than... a 10% chance and 5 seconds which does not increase. i suspect this is a bug but if not just delete this post then
    My body is made of swords.
    Iron is my blood, and glass is my heart.
    I have overcome countless battlefields undefeated,
    Without once retreating,
    Nor once being understood.
    Always alone, intoxicated with victory on the hill of swords.
    Therefore, there is no meaning to that life.
    Perhaps this body is nothing but a sword itself.

    The description of the Rainbow Blessing skill says that it requires the race Winged Elf, but when you go to add the skill it says it's for clerics only. I'm an Archer that wanted that skill. :(

    Rainbow Blessing
    Randomly increases targets physical attack, magic attack, critical hit rate or the channeling time. Required Race: Winged Elfes

    Its a cleric only spell. Unfortunatly i realized this after i already allocated my points :/

    Edit: Too late...

    skills like extreme poison and others that allow bonus stats
    ex:

    my genie has 77 dex and the skill only still has 20% and not 27%

    dunno if this is a hidden effect or a bug

    Hello,

    The tool tip % only reflects the base value of the damage. Any additional +1% damage will not be shown there.

    BTW: Updated two skill issues. Thanks guys!

    Tree of Protection

    Description: Increases max HP by 15% for 5 seconds and restores full HP every 3 seconds for 6 seconds.

    Issue: Skill intermittently does not run for full time. Still testing, but approx. 50% of the time the skill will only last for 2-3 seconds or will not appear to work at all.

    First: sorry for the double post, but I only just saw this, and I wasn't sure how to add a quote to previous post.

    Second: Re: highlighted text: To help clarify this for other players, players that don't access the forums, or for new players, would it not make sense to edit the Genie skills so they work like the normal char skills in that the upgrades are reflected in the skill text in blue font?

    While you have to be standing on the group to cast it, it is a ranged skill that can hit players in the air.

    This is the same problem that I have. When I used it, it lasted for approximately 2 secs. Ater I increased my dex to 40, it lasted for 3 seconds.

    Please fix this to 5 secs.

    Thank you,

    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    "Wind Shield

    Our testing has never been able to confirm this issue. The least amount of duration we experienced was 7 seconds (Base Dex = 5). At Dex = 50, the duration lasted 8 seconds. We will be modifying the base duration to 7 seconds but as far as we can tell, it is working as intended.

    Thanks for responding. I will personally test this when I get home and update what I find.

    life drain " drains health from all targets within 15 meters. causes 1154.4 water damage and heals you for 5% of your max hp" thats lv 10

    it does not heal you for 5% of you max hp- it does steal life from enemies but either the skill is not right or the descrpiton is wrong

    Actual Effect: last for 6 sec as supposed to for me.
    but my problem is this. Instantly restores 50% of missing hp after 3 sec. and restore any renaming hp that I miss at 6 sec mark this is same time as my hp bar goes down to normal.

    So got different problem. have not noticed problem with shorter time. Got lvl 5

    Air Strand is bugged I believe. The skill says stun target for 5 seconds, and 50% chance to stun yourself for 4 seconds. But the actual is "seal" not "stun"

    I tested it in duel and my target and myself could use skills while we were "stunned"
