Str or Dex Genie?

Hello guys,

I have a little dilemma here about which genie is more appropriate for archers. The general rule for archers is : deal as much damage as quick as possible.

But what about genies? If the above rule would apply, wouldn't the Str Genie = more power = quicker damage dealing (instead of duration provided by the Dex genie) suit an archer better?

Every archer seems to go for Dex genie, and I want to understand why!

Any constructive answer would be really appreciated!
If I wasn't clear enough, let me know, so i can rephrase my question!

    genie in general fails at DD, their spells cost alot and only does like 1-2k dmg at the most. dex genie provide boost in effects, like extreme poison's amp increase by 1% every 10dex. relentless courage effect gets 1% more per 20dex. bloodclot duration increases by 1 sec every 40 dex. support spells from genie are what most archer uses, and well dex is what affects support abilities the most
    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.

    Personnaly dex genie is the best way to go...
    I agree with you the fact that an archer has to do more and more dmg...

    If you check/try skill str, in my opinion they not worth it, the best attack skill str is thunderstorm it deal nice dmg on ground and sucky in air.

    ex:
    A bm hit me at 1500 with it on the ground and in air WTF 300 dmg b:pleased
    And as u must know, most of pvp/pk fight are in air so .....

    ...so why dex:

    Because the debuff skill are great exemple of 3 of them: extrem poison: "the target takes 20% more dmg" (stackable), tangling mire "reduce 30% physical def to the target",blade of supreme heat "reduce 20% metal def",

    So ull debuff :
    -melee class for :
    50%(ur metal debuff),20%+20%=-90%
    -magic class for:
    20%+20%=-40%


    then accordin to ur geniskill lvl and your dex point, debuff will stay longer or be more powerfull...

    To sum up ur dmg will be greatly increase.

    Dex genie is better than strength one IMO.
    My people, some of them have run away to the hills
    and have no shelter. No food, no one knows where they are,
    hear me my chiefs, I am tired. My heart is sick and sad,
    I will fight no more....
