    the 4 skills i picked where:
    Healing: replenish hp, and an 80% chance to stop bleed. ( the heal effect is worthless ) LVL10

    Bloodclot: stops bleed and makes you immune to bleed. ( you know why lol ) LVL10

    Solid Shield: forms sheild around target reducing all damage by 60%, but also reduces movement speed for 10 seconds. LVL10

    Alpha Male: enrages all targets within 20 meters and for 8.5 seconds reflecting back 40% of the damage you take. LVL9


    right now his affinities are sitting at:
    metal: 2
    wood: 5
    earth: 4
    water: 1

    have 5 affinity points left and genie is lvl 83.
    Longevity type

    The +vit will increase the amount of energy your genie has, allowing you to cast the skill(s) more times before recharging.
    The +dex will allow the skill to have a longer duration or distance.

    For a tank barb, I would think that these would be 2 that needed to be concentrated on.

    The +str adds 1% damage to attack skills, so DPS barbs might want to look at this.

    I have not had time to play around with this in game yet, but would like to hear how some more of you are configuring yours.

    Well, the genie for me will be only used in pvp/tw = debuffs!

    therefor i will add all my attributes to dex = longer duration.
    i might add 40 to mag to get an extra slot for skills.

    debuffs im going for are anti stun, reflect (only bm and wb skill) and anti bleed or heal, also decreasing metal or wood would be nice.

    But only time will tell which of these many skills are really useful and which are just ****. Don't think that genies will have high DPS.

    i guess the dex or mag genie is best... the pink str genie is only good if you go for damage skills on your genie

    the lvl 5 genie skill " Healing " does not for me restore any HP, maybe it is STR dependant or you are thinking of another skill.
    my genie only has 5str, what about yours Rakthor?
    other heal skills i know work, several guildies have them.
    that one " Healing " does nothing, so far its only good for the bleed remove.

    Personally i went with

    Alpha Male
    Reflect Aura (a cleric tried to tempest me with it and they almost 1 shot themselves lol)
    The Tree of Defense (i thing thats the name or something to that effect)
    and the fourth i am going to get is the one that increases attack rate

    Those are exactly what I was thinking of getting. But I'm gonna wait for the next few patches until they clarify skill descriptions and fix some of the many bugs.
    The tree of protections a great skill. It increases your max HP (might get your charm to tick if you cast it too late) then heals to full HP too. Woot Woot!! b:victory
    Reflect aura. Some say its bugged so I haven't got it yet, but reflect magical damage? You got to be crazy to miss that.
    Alpha male. Can always use another aoe aggro skill. Roar just doesn't cut it imho.
    When the going gets tough; Get a tank!

    Tree of Protection = a level 3 genie skill. (second from the right)
    Requires 1 wood 1 water and 1 earth affinity on your genie.
    Your genie must be lvl 10 to learn this skill for the first time.

    Solid Sheild = a level 2 genie skill (for barbs only, third from the right)
    Requires 1 wood and 1 earth afinity on your genie.
    Your genie must be lvl 9 to learn this skill for the first time.

    Alpha Male = a level 9 genie skill (second from the left)
    Requires 5 wood and 4 earth
    Your genie must be lvl 40 to learn this skill for the first time.

    Reflective Aura = a level 9 genie skill (far right, barb only)
    Requires 5 wood 3 water and 1 fire
    Your genie must be lvl 11 to learn this skill for the first time.
    (this skill is said to be bugged currently)

    I'm tired and going to bed. Hope this helps and forgive any errors.
    Check out the posts on genies to learn how to get one and level it up.

    I guess the one wid the most MAG is the best (ZEAL) since ZEAL starts out with 20 MAG so thats only 20 more for an extra room for skills, and 30 more to increase the energy recovery rate to 2.66, i guess theres no particular affinity to go with, it kinda matters on what skills you wanna get.
    ToP is the mad skill, it would reduce charm ticking SO much, and if your PKing it would be great to use wid perdition since it increases max hp and heals you back up, thus giving that much more damage ^^ yay!

    The type of genie doesnt matter, it's how you build it. The only thing you might profit from is its starting points, by having the one you will use the least have 3 (or 5, whatever is the lowest).

    Currently my genie (Longevity) is lvl40 with the following skills:
    -Solid Shield
    -Tree of Protection
    -Extreme Poison
    -Relentless Courage

    Solid Shield for tanking purposes, ToP for grinding ease. Extreme Poison and Relentless Courage helps for bosses, I guess, but it's mostly cause I'm on a PvP server and they are really handy. All are maxed except for ToP.

    I have TOP and solid shield atm

    Genie skills for my barb would be

    -Tree of protection
    -Solid shield
    -Alpha Male
    -Absolute domain

    ^^ and I only PVE so yeah, those skills would be nice.
