recommendation for genie?

first of i put all vit into my genie and also, my genie is 70/90 = 5 skills

now my genie is all about survivability, so my skills are

1) absolute domain - makes you and party members resist all dmg for 5 seconds or so at max lvl and after all that is done, you get 2-3 seconds of "anti-stun" effect - max to 10

2) tree of protection - gives 60% @ 10 more hp and its a real life saver when you get ganged up by 3-4 ppl - mine is lvl 10

3) holy path - makes you go at max speed i believe for like 6-8 seconds, well it says it right there, its used for running away, if your genie is full vit and have full energy, than it makes a great combo with tree of protection - mine is lvl 10

4) cauterize - removes bleed effect, yea its used to survive phoenix bleeds so go figure - lvl it to 10



with these skills, surviving TW is not that hard because you have so many ways of getting out of trouble. so yea, this is my TW genie

Keep in mind that as of the last patch genies are completely different.

wow...u have a very good plan there...i am having ideas with holy path now... ^^


thanks for replying btw...

these skills remain the same except for holy path, it used to be a aoe skill that allowed your party members to have the max speed, but now its only the caster that has it, as for cauterize, it was 60%, now its 30%, but it still works a lot for me, so yea its still fine, i like this genie build, if you want to change cauterize, there is also another skill called "blood clot" makes you immune to bleed for 4 seconds, but you need to cast it before the phoenix gets to you, which is a gamblo IMO, mainly because, some venos use stun before bleed, so you just wasted your genie enery if you happen to use it and the nix doesnt use bleed

yea zeal genie is the best cause it regains faster energy than the others, just put everything to vit so you can use more skills, vit = more energy

Ok I noticed you said Zeal, you picked the wrong one.

Get another I have a longevity since all of my genies skills are increased with Dex.


Why not Zeal? Because zeal starts with 15 base mag. As of the last update points into MAG are completely wasted. The only point of mag was to get 40 in it so you could get an extra skill.

Plan your skills out in advanced and go with the one that has a high stat in whichever stat increases the attributes of the skills you are using. One of my skills is wind shield. Every 8 points in dex increases the damage reduction by 1% so I get an extra, so I chose longevity for that.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG U FAIL


OK where to begin. Your energy recovered rate is increased when you hit 50mag. So unless you get your zeal to 50mag for that extra bit of recovery rate then Zeal isn't a good genie to choose. Also as of the last update skills seem to use less energy on cast, plus they have cooldowns so it isn't necessary to get so much vit.

Pump whichever stat will increase your skills. Because of the Dex I pumped into my genie I get:

An extra 2 seconds of freeze with piercing flames
A much longer duration for extreme poison
An extra 12% now after leveling my genie damage reduction from wind shield.


Pumping too much vit is just a waste of points.

You can unlearn genie skills.

alright well this new patch just blows, im pretty sure going full vit is better than adding any other stat, want to know why? the energy it costs to use skills, want to know why i know this? i had extreme poison, and it costs a lot of dex to get more extra dmg, well it turns out that i could only cast extreme poison once and after that, i needed to wait for like 10 seconds just to cast another one, well instead of pumping into dex, i would rather pump into vit so i cant cast multiple skills in a short amount of time, my 70/90 genie has 112vit and that equals 212 energy, go figure how many skills i can cast

for example

Tree of Protection - 112 energy
Holy Path - 75 energy
yea, im pretty sure im not going to die after that combo

another example

absolute domain lvl 6 = 135 energy
holy path - 75 energy
yea no one is going to kill me

try doing these survivability combos with a dex genie and see how far you get

and im pretty sure you did not read my post correctly, i made a survivability genie, not a stupid dex genie and use extreme poison just once or twice or wind shield w/e

Actually, points in Mag is NOT useless.

Every point in Mag increases Energy Recovery by +0.02/sec

I'm still trying to figure out the best balance between VIT, DEX and MAG.

I have 45 Vit, 45 Mag and 60 Dex each. I have 145 energy to play with and an Energy Recovery of 1.90 points per second. I stopped adding more points in Vit and Mag because it cost 2 points to raise it 1. The Dex is for the skills that my genie uses

This genie is primarily used for PVE Bosses using Extreme Poison (12 seconds), Wind Shield (9 seconds of increased attack speed) and Leaf Dance (51 seconds of +2 critical hit).

By putting 45 points in Mag, I can always keep Leaf dance up (it uses around .67 Energy per second) and still have an an effective energy regen rate of 1.23 points per second.

Honestly why have your genie have energy recover slightly faster when you could use the points in other stats that would help out more. It won't make a difference unless you add significantly more. I would perfer to add points to increase a skills effectiveness. Honestly I've never been in a PvP situation where I thought, I sure am glad I had that extra energy recovery.

I can see the uses of adding MAG for a PvE genie although for a PvP genie magic seems to be rather useless as unless it's large group PvP then chances are the fights over within 30 seconds.

zeal genie is useless. the bonus points can be better used in other areas. considering that unless you plan to get your genie's mag over 55, the 15 mag bonus doesn't really help at all. but on the other hand you'll probably want your vit/dex to be over 55. so you would want to have a max base of those 2 stats so you'll be able to have a higher stat before needing to put in 2 points per stat point.
