wow o.o (yes a genie thread :D)

im surprised how many people hate genies... i have a lvl 66 venomancer, who had over 1.2 million spirit, i spent every bit of that spirit(yes down to 0) to level my genie up to my level and learn it skills. i personnaly dont see why so many people hates genies so much. if you level it... even JUST ENOUGH to use the skills you NEED, even for level 1 skills, they can be helpful. my genie has the following attacks:

Holy Path level 8: Increased the movement speed of yourself and your allies withen 10 meters to the max for 5.4 seconds.
Why i use it: to get away from mobs when im close to dieing for some reason, or in PVP for running away from another player.

Celestial Sword level 9: Forms a magic blade out of pure chi to attack the target. Causes 543.9 phsyical damage with 100% accuracy.(causes double dapage very close up)
Why i use it: it does deent damage, about the same as my pet right now, or even more close up, its also good for PVP with a 30 meter range, and when fighting magic users, i can do good damage.

Explosion level 10: Causes 391.3 fire damage to the target and all surrounding enemies.
Why i use it: its a good skill to have when helping lower level people, or attracting aggro from someone else, which i tend to do to help them, i wouldnt reccomend this skill to anyone who wants a full on attack or support genie, i have it to have basicly lol.

Tree of protection level 4: Summons a tree of protection. increases Max HP by 30% for 5 seconds and restores full HP every 3 seconds for 6 seconds.
Why i use it: well i could do without the max HP increase part, but the health recovery is amazing on it, it has saved my life a few times now being able to be used at any moment. this is my most often used skill lol.

Qi Manipulation level 9: Reduces the targets MP by 550 over 15 seconds.
Why i use it: well obviously its a PVP skill, and rather useless against other magic users(unless they have like no MP left lol), but use it against a barb, a BM, or maybe even a archer sometimes, and they can be pretty messed up in there battle plan. venos run alot in PVP most of the time, or tank with bramble hood, but the MP lowering that fast on them i find extreamly helpful.

i have set up my genie skills to fit my battle style, i would think holy path, and tree of protection, MAYBE even celestial sword, would be useful for barbs, archers, anyclass really, mostly the tankers(barb and BM).

THIS IS ALL MY OPINION, i find them to be very helpful WHEN USED RIGHT. But i dont think that if you dont like the genies, find them a waste, THEN DONT POST ABOUT HATING THEM... post about possible improvements for them or somthing... what i hate though is when someone messes up on the genie, such as using all there spirit, or EXP on it to level it... i find it worth it, others will find it not worth it, but dont complain about it... genies are not useless like some say. there will be atleast one skill, that is helpful to everyone in one way or another, weither it be attacking, healing, running, i dunno. but please stop the bashing and flaming on genies just because you dont like them or "wasted" your exp or spirit on them... it gets old, fast, if you dont like genies, dont get them, simple as that...

sorry this post was long and probly boring, but i wanted to get my opinion out, so goodluck and goodbye everyone. b:bye
