Ok. Seems like most of the genie skills are garbage. But a few look quite useful. I would like to hear what skills others have found useful. Here are 2 of my favs.

Lightning Chaser (lvl1 only): Interrupt spell and attacks. The attack is pointless so leveling above 1 just makes it consume more energy and stamina than necessary. Requires 5 Metal

Tree of Protection (lvl1 only): The Max HP boost is currently pointless since it lasts only a sec or 2, The heal is very nice though. However, the 60 sec cooldown is a big minus. Healing may be more useful than this... haven't tried it yet. Requires 1 Wood, 1 Water, 1 Earth

Edit: Heal skill apparently is not intended to heal, but rather just to stop bleed. They intend to clarify the description.

    i use my genie as a butt saver
    tree of protection - awsome emergensy heal, it's not a skill that should be spammable
    blinding sand - great against archer attacks
    wind shiled - just bought it haven't tried it yet but the damage reduction should be nice

    ^ what he said, and hollow fist, does like 1.1k metal dmg, and another 1k bleed and reduces your def by 30% for 10s they save me having to cast amp and ironwood, and can just unload on nukes :P

    It's only a 20% phys def reduction for Hollow Fist. Only downside to Hollow Fist is that it takes 1000+ stamina to use each time. Very expensive skill.

    I like Holy Path too. Max speed for 6 seconds. Great for running away/rushing.

    Nullify Poison. Immunity to Wood attacks? Yes, Please! 5 seconds where all I have to worry about is the Veno's pet. *laughs maniacally*

    Earthquake. All class knockback FTW.

    Extreme poison. Amp in caster form? Sign me up.

    Tree of Protection. While not a spamable healing spell, it's more of a "Sh**! I'm going to die! HEAL!!!" Move. Which is good when you accidentally have the main tank die during bosses, and someone who isn't really a tank, but can survive a hit has to peel out of there while the clerics get the tank back up. Like the wood boss in FB 59... I would have killed to have this spell. Tank died. I got aggro. It wouldn't have been so bad, had I been wearing robes, but I was wearing armor, because of the Str bonuses I use on them to fight in Fox. There was no chance of surviving more than one hit. So, I took off, sending messages while I circled around of "Get the tank back up! I'll be back!" while firing all the potions and elixirs, and everything else I could use to keep my HP up while my charm was cooling down. Well, they did get the tank back up, and they got everyone buffed and ready, and then peeled aggro off me, and we went back to work. The boss died. b:chuckle

    Relentless courage. Increase moving/attack speed, decrease channeling for 8 seconds at level 1. All effects go up by 1% for every 20 dex. +40% move, (forgot) attack speed, and -16% channel if used with a perfect genie. 30 second cooldown too.

    My favorite genie skilla are:

    1. Earthquake for those moments when you pull aggro and you need to escape.
    2. Holy Path, great for getting out of a monsters attack or someones phisical close range attack.
    3. Relentless Courage since it lowers the channeling speed and gives more movement speed.
    4. Blade of Supreme Heat to lower the metal defence of enemies. I would use the Extreme Poison skill but I dont want Dawn, my zeal genie, to go wood all the way and it costs 100 stamina instead of the 150 stamina.
    I could use the Tree of Protection skill since its a good heal but I can already heal myself.

    Skills 3,4, and 5 are constant but since the Earthquake knockback effect dosent work in pvp I could replace it with Whirlwind for a stun, Tree of Protection for a fast heal, Adrenaline Surge for an anti sleep effect, or anything that I might need according to the situation.

    And now faith, hope, and charity remain; but the greatest of these is charity.

    tree of pretection for healing , a tanker can't leave without heal .
    lol i forgot the name of the attack but it is a very powerfull fire attaque , i use it to take the aggro of a mob when there are cleric or archer of mage or veno lol. and to reduce his HP lol.
    The third is a shield i forgot it name but I use it to increase my physical defence when tree of protection is already used ((tree of protection consume a lot ,110 in lvl 38 so i can't use it in any time))
    Those skills erase my weaknesses as a tanker so i like them.

    I will point out one thing, though. Earthquake works on any pet. Including Phoenix.

    I play a barbarian,

    1) Tree of Protection FTW. At 7850 hp during normal grinding the spell becomes available before i need it again, so I earn all that money that I would usually spend on healing potions. Currently healing 50% at 3 secs and 6 secs.

    2) Solid Shield (barb only) currently doing 50% damage reduction for 12 seconds

    still looking for a third skill, hoping maxing out water affinity will reveal one of those empty squares in the advanced skill tree.
