    I currently have....

    Earthflame(for pulling).
    Solid shield(for extra tank).
    Tangling mire(will be replaced).
    Tree of protection(awesome healing).

    I will be replacing tangling mire with alpha male for better aoe aggro holding.

    Is Tree of Protection better for barbs than Second Wind? I just got SW because I was drawn to the instant heal..
    My Genies skills at the moment are
    Earthflame (Pull)
    Solid Shield (Damage reduction)
    Second Wind (Should I replace with ToP?)
    Reflective Aura (Not sure I just like the fact that it can reflect up to 80k damage over 5 secs.. probably useless though b:surrender

    ToP heal amount depends on ur max hp so u gotta do the maths to see how much it heals when u use it then compare it to Second Wind.But in any case ToP sucks alot more stamina than Second Wind.So its up to u.

    I was going to make a topic asking just this question, how convienent =]

    I just started so im still learning about this whole genie thing...

    Does genie stats have any effect on our characters? i.e increasing genie dex to raise our accuracy? I dont think so but im not sure ;/

    genie stat only got an effect on genie skills.
    a skill like solid shield will absorb x% damage taken. every 4 genie str will absorb 1% more. you wont gain any str bonus though

    Are you sure your genie has room for another skill? Does your genie have required vit points to have Top? (though this lower lvls don't ask for high Energy).

    I seriously don't remember how much TOp asks for... Are you sure you put all the affirnities correctly?

    Rofl... I just looked at the site. It must be an old version written before the Great Genie Nerf b:chuckle

    You need: 3 Wood, 4 Water for Top.

    My level 8 ToP uses up 105 energy so 20 vit should be enough.

    Earthquake, ToP, Solid Shield, Alpha Male. Those are really all you need for your genie, but if you can get one more skill holy path isn't always a bad thing for FC runs and Gamma when you're 75+. Not required to do them but makes them a little easier.
