I was looking at the genie skill descriptions searching for a strength based nuke that was most potent on the ground, (True Emptiness is plenty good for anti air lol) and I came across Earthclaw. A strength based skill with good damage that is boosted to triple when it comes to ground targets.

Thing is this skill would cost me about three affinity points, and those are points I'm really scared of wasting, so if you guys have any experience or opinions as to whether this move is worth getting I'm all ears.b:victory

    Attacks the target with the power of Earth. Causes ? Physical damage
    and immobilizes the target for 2 seconds.
    100 percent accuracy.

    Strength: Every Genie Strength point increases the damage by 10.

    So that means 100 strenght points would be 1000 damage + base damage, tripled. This looks interesting.

    earth claw does **** damage and can miss

    in short its trash

    the ground is BM land anyways no real need for a specilized skill just get tangling mire on a STR based geni

    or you could splash a bramble rage onto a str vit geni but that seems like a waste
    Gifs are hard to make work here

    I had it on my first PvP/TW Str Genie.

    It was.... meh =/

    I had just enough vit on my genie to cast Mire at full energy drop HF and then be able to cast Earthclaw it did decent damage like that vs non HA. Helped me get a few kills (this was when I was 7x-low 8x) but since I was full vit then it missed... alot v.v, it was ok but nothing fantastic...

    I wish thunderstorm/BR were str based genie skills >_> er... to this day I am still torn b/w str/dex genie skills so I made one of each xD

    i also got it for that exact reason. Once i got it the translation changed on the actual genie and said causes xxx EARTH damage.
    It was still a great nuke against certain other enemies but eh...

    TE with a pure str genie wins, so my PvP genie is pure str. Bramble Rage would be nice, but most PvP is in the air... also, on a high lucky point genie, it's hard to allocate affinites for this skill, especially if you want to include Occult Ice, True Emptiness, Absolute Domain and Holy Path, all pretty much necessary for PvP imo.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.
